Plzzzz deeevvs

Lada Super Turbo GTR

Personally I don't care, I can't understand why people are scared of CCTVs, having biggest DNA bank in world and other stuff? Well unless you have killed someone or planning of doing that. But otherwise it's just better.

straight 6 = bike engine? Do they even exist

I saw people mounting V8s on choppers in america but never heard bikes having straight 6ers

Shouldn't have tax on petrol as it's esential for everyday life.

That way we could have fun with big motors, rar rar!

Thanks dude, I'll do it later on.

Stuck with art and physics homework at the moment :P

Could someone upload XRT setup with normal road ratios? I tried changing em but I ain't got an idea how it works and what I'm meant to do!

Thankies.

There is a difference between driving for fun and commuting everyday and doing long milages.

Quote from obsolum :

No, that's just plain retarded

Agreed... I don't see why some people would hate diesels.

Japanese stuff probably is the best way to go... MAZDA MX6.... (<--my favorite lol) nissan 300 mitsubishi 3000gt mitsubishi GTO... volvo 850!!

Quote from G!NhO :

my dad has LPG G3 too in his jeep, the car does less miles on a gallon with LPG then on petrol and the car generally looses a bit of power (not with newer LPG installations like we have). He also had it in the previous 2 Jeeps.

Same story. But LPG is half the price of petrol

Quote from J@tko :

By normally I mean road normally - not 8k rpm @ shift

Well I understood that, but 100~ is stil kinda too much

Quote from richukss :

Maybe he can buy petrol car and put LPG system on it (i think that's the right name), i think it'll be cheaper than a diesel car, by some time , of course, if he wants to drive in cheap way.

Proper LPG fitting is costy and only useful if you drive a lot. My dad drives on LPG, does around 30000 miles in a year.

Quote from J@tko :

I did some testing the other day, and driving a XFG normally I got 100+mpg

Lol... maybe mistaking converting liters to gallons or something like that.

7 laps in xrt = 21 miles / 1.979 =
10.61 MPG

Just drove some laps, got 12.12 MPG with XRT on SA4

:o pretty good.

Quote from spiderbait90 :

If he keeps it for the 5 year, then he is making £526.85 (if fuel prices stay similar distance apart).

So he might make the money back...

My parents bought their car in Aberdeen, and the difference between the petrol and diesel car was only £250.99.

woo finally someone from aberdeen

Quote from bbman :

Depends: if his driving is mostly in the city, the better consumption of a diesel might pay off... If it's mostly highway, where diesels lose a big part of their advantage, it may be better to go with petrol, especially with the current diesel prices...

Well spoke with dad about it, seems a bit pointless in his case.

SO thread closed, thanks for help.

Spider yes, but don't forget that diesel car will be more expensive than same model petrol version. And things like that also should be added to calculations.

Quote from hrtburnout :

Then it all depends on how much he drives. From a certain amount of kilometers/miles driven, running a diesel car is cheaper than a petrol one.

Well that's why I am here, I thought LFS forum would be a good place to ask folk which engine would be better for him. I also twice posted milage he would possibly do in a year. WHich I guess is around 4000-5000 miles per a year or 7-10000 km~

And obviously it depends on how much he drives.

Just to point out.

He doesn't give a shit about speed or stuff like torque. He isn't a keen driver nor cares about it.

Well I guess he'd be doing around 8-12000km per year so I take it as it's better to get petrol, maybe even less.

Also what the heck is speed limiter in real life? It only associates with driving into pits for me. (peugeot site)

I need more detailed replies tristan..

Hello,

My friend just passed his driving test.

So I just wanted to ask you all what engine you think would be better to go for.

He's planning on keeping the car for probably 5 years or so. And it also seems like he'd do possibly around 5000 miles a year.

And also he wants a small car... so I've got no idea about these either. Stuff like little mazdas, pegeots whatever, you get the idea... hopefully!

Something with low fuel consumption and cheapish insurance costs basically.

Probably 2nd hand, but new and wants to keep the total cost below £5-10k.

Personally considering the anual milage it looks like he should go for petrol engine or am I wrong? And doesn't it cost more to maintain a diesel engine if something happens to it.

I'd love to go around the oval but apparently only S2ers have got it!

Thanks for the info, I'll play around with the ratios as well.

My dad shifts at around 3k usually as it's the max turning point

Quote from wheel4hummer :

Try driving the way that you would drive a car normally on the road. There should be a difference then.

I don't drive yet And also ain't got a wheel with pedals, so I can't be that gentle on throtle.

Anyway I will drive some laps tomorrow and see what I'll get.
