well porche has one nice mofo of an engine in its strainght 6 and so does BMW with their m3 straight 6 and so does nissan with the rb's and so does toyota with their 2jz....i can see some sort of trend here...

my bro's 85zx was a 3L v6 but could only make 160hp yet my old supra was a 3L straight 6 and made 200hp! and we all know there's nothing wrong with the power out of nissan engines!

holden has a ***ed up v6 as does the magna so i base all my opinions on the evidence...

A couple of questions thats slightly off topic,

...

Has any car company made a V4? And would there be any savings in making one?

Yep SAAB made a V4 at the end of the 95/96 model cycle, and Lancia have been making them for decades. What a sweet little donk that is. :uh-huh:

Hehehe Lozza150, took me a while, but I finally got it!

woz the 'a real spin out' an intended pun?

Coz thats really quite nifty...

real spin out - rotary engines...

lol, boy am I slow.... n also amusing myself at the smallest things...

ford made a V4 back in the 70's for the capri, granada and transit and it was a piece of crap of a motor.

porsche never ever made an inline six. they were either a flat six, inline four, flat four or V8. :P

the Wankel roatary engine was originally a design for a water pump. ;)

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
