sticker bomb your car and it's instantly jdm, even if it's a commodore.
Yeah I meant a vertical 4, instead of the horizontal boxer.A 4 cylinder boxer is a flat 4, term you might be looking for is straight/inline four? Anyway how old are we talking lol? Pretty much the only 4 cylinder boxer in the last 20 years are Subarus, I think the ej25 in some of the late 90s libertys had head gasket problems briefly but besides that I think all other subaru engines are relatively bullet proof. Even with those problematic head gaskets, as far as I know a replacement or after market part fixes the problem for good - so if you know what you are looking for and/or it's a good maintained car I wouldn't worry about that.
Yeah - I said flat 4, the modern porsche boxer engines are flat 6s (only the 356, 914 and 912 had 4 cylinder engines iirc). RUF is just a porsche tuning company, they didn't make engines in the 80s/90s and only make a very low volume flat plane v8 atm - most RUF cars still use porsche engines.P.S. There have been many boxers in the past: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_engine
I think that the ruf's of the 80's/90's were also boxer engined.
And the new 86 should of been branded a Subaru.
Oh yeah. My bad. I thought ruf actually made the cars lol.Yeah - I said flat 4, the modern porsche boxer engines are flat 6s (only the 356, 914 and 912 had 4 cylinder engines iirc).

The 86 has a Subaru engine.
Edit: Actually I think beetles were still made well into the 90s in Mexico, so assuming they still had the air cooled flat 4 that would technically count.
I want a WRX or R34. Gnite.I want an evo. Good night.
You do realise an evo smashes a rexy in every way?I want a WRX or R34. Gnite.
Except for price (well, not 22b), arguably sound and every day drivability.You do realise an evo smashes a rexy in every way?
Yeah. Its a bit hard to get a confirmation on the beetle's first production line.Not sure - I doubt it was the first air cooled engine, but possibly the first mainstream one? The beetle and early Porsche's were "inspired" a fair bit by Tatra cars and i'm sure they used air cooled engines.
I think the whole Japanese/German thing you are mentioning really depends, the Japanese car industry only really started to bloom once it was hard to make something completely revolutionary so I guess it's all incremental stuff. The gentlemans agreement in Japan + high tax rates for high displacement cars fostered a lot of the innovations (+ the overengineering/undertuning leading to crazy aftermarket scene) in Japanese cars of the 80s/90s.
I guess something similar is happening in Europe at the moment which is why we are seeing more innovation from them now with lower displacement engines and everything being turbo charged, but there is no gentlemans agreement equivalent so all the euro engines are fairly high strung stock compared to the Japanese engines of the 90s lol.
I've never had a thing for Mitsubishi. So I prefer the WRX. Plus, after driving a boxer, I prefer its reliability over other vehicles.You do realise an evo smashes a rexy in every way?
I prefer an r35 or a r32
Apparently the handling and performance of the evo is god-like.I've never had a thing for Mitsubishi. So I prefer the WRX. Plus, after driving a boxer, I prefer its reliability over other vehicles.
A 15 year-old boxer was a much smoother drive than a 5 year-old tiida.
I don't have $100000 lying around to get an R35. I'd prefer the older R30 than an R32 lol. They look like a classic vehicle haha.
S30 Fairlady is king, well deserved imo.http://au.askmen.com/top_10/cars_200/212_car_list.html
Top 10 all-time Jap car list. Your thoughts according to this article?
Tbh I think the VL commodore is a better looking car over the r30 and r31 haha.I'd prefer the older R30 than an R32 lol. They look like a classic vehicle haha.
wait.......... wat?German = Class/Prestige
Japanese = Performance

see now you've just ruined it...The MP4-12C engine is a descendant of a Nismo engine
