2016 Camaro pics

I can think of a potential DSG transmission failure, dirty air filter, or catalytic converter if used with low octane gas, or maybe problems with the gauges if they're built like the old VWs. The Camaro is likely a more reliable car, but to be fair the RS5 won't explode to crap pieces either.

Test drive of a petrol car

Thinking of it like a regular battery, both usage and downtime should affect it I'd say. AFAIK, the batteries in the Hybrid Civics had early deaths mainly because they were junk. The batteries on the Tesla, on the other hand, are miles and miles ahead of those.

Test drive of a petrol car

Yeah well I was going to mention that, I read somewhere that the batteries are good up to 500.000 kms. They're sufficient to carry on the car till it gets old anyway, when compared to a petrol car. You can think of it like an engine swap, when it dies, the car dies. But other than that the car...

I was referring to the drivetrain of the car, obviously the tires will age, and the additions to the chassis also.

Ronnie James Dio

Mark the animal is really critical... he really sees people, he watches people, he sees that there are people who are faking it, and hiding it... I WANNA ROCK! :P Dio would hit it though... like a rainbow in the dark. :D Seriously though, even if a musician has a single good song and all the...

Test drive of a petrol car

My A4 Quattro, because of its intercooled turbo engine, burns about 5lt more than an old Northstar from 90's at average. You simply can not say it is the other way around unless you exactly know how efficient the two cars you're comparing are.

Some general tips about AIO's

SilentPC, as their name suggests as you also mentioned, goes for absolute silence in their reviews. First of all pick a normal review if you're going to. Let's look at one. http://www.hardocp.com/article/2014/07/10/nzxt_kraken_x61_aio_liquid_cpu_cooler_review/3#.VVdSt4wcHxw It got owned by the...

Test drive of a petrol car

An old car may be actually more efficient than a new car. It was just a thrown up assumption. It's a matter of how many cylinders, how much power there is and how much of it is put on how efficiently AND which emission rules the car fits into. Yeah, sadly from what I observed over the Internet...

What's causing my loop to go green? (UPDATED)

I use alcohol myself to clean out the blocks. As for your issue, well I'd say if you use crap, expect crap. Really, the site and the things in your link look no good. There are known brands and good sources to buy these things from. Such as PT Nuke, Alphacool and such are just a few that come to...

Test drive of a petrol car

Oh well we need a clarification here again. Person A has an old, crap Taunus. Person B has a rather new Mustang in mint condition. Both person A and person B load up their cars with the same, high octane gas. However the crappy Taunus dissipates unburnt petrol unlike the Mustang. But, guess...

The gas you speak of is gas. Whether it is unburnt or properly burnt, it is still the same petrol. Sure, unburnt petrol will smell worse than burnt gas. But then again, neither is any good for you. I think it is a PEBKAC situation here as you can't seem to understand such simple things.

I'll leave that off to your thinking. I didn't say you don't know anything, but if I were to say such thing, I'd probably say you simply don't know as much as you think you do, and that might only be because how you throw away an electric car.

Test drive of a petrol car

Yes, because the join date is a display of how correct you are. Electric cars, let's say, Tesla, require zero maintenance. They are the way to go except rare cases such as, the off-road you just mentioned. How many people spend their time on off-road rather than asphalt? What is your point? I...

I know that, but I don't think that is the case. I just think it is the crappy liquid he used as anti-bacteria that did it. If it's oxidation, it'll be the blocks that will end being messed up. As for EK, the blocks corroded, oxidated and ended up looking complete mess. But I don't think that...
