Revolting Uniting

Oh I know, but they redid it with a new body and engine...so

Good luck mounting that monster on a bycicle.

I'm still not sure whether the dynamo at the front wheel will provide enough power for both lighting and the amplifier. Well, who needs lights nowadays?

True, many modern cars either look like shit, or are all exactly the same.And they are constantly getting fatter and heavier, the New VW Golf weights 1340kg, that's almost the same as My 1990 Volvo 740.

Regarding the model, not always. One or two models from big manufacturers will come out brilliantly unique like this recent best seller in Indonesia, which is a British design:



or super tacky like this American nightmare:

@Moose
Thats not really a new car, its just a modernised '50 car, and its brilliant.

That's new car. Caterham always produce cars with that kind of model. You could see one of them in Test Drive game series.

One thing about car weight though. They are heavier for safety reasons.
But British sports car designers like Lotus, TVR, and Caterham have different mind.



For example, the new version of that Lotus Elise above only weigh 800-900 kg.

As dumb as I personally think this car looks, I give them props for trying something kinda new and not putting out another round medium sized SUV that induces gags.

[Biiviz]

Looks to me like they want it fail.

[Flyboy1942]

But it's different! Also, I know plenty of people with one and see them all over. : | People seem to think theyre...cute.

Still, the original Lotus Elise 111 from 1996 weighted only 720 KG.
They've gotten fatter and fatter over the years. The last Exige that still had a four-pot weighted close to 1000 KG.

Obviously it weighs less because they took the bikini top off. :rolleyes:

I see you and I raise you:

I have a set of Polk Audio 2 and 3 way speakers in my Camry (2 6.5" & 2 6x9"). I cant decide if adding a sub is worth it. : \

That depends - are you going to listen to music in your car or are you going to drive around blasting noise to "impress" others?

If option B, kill yourself.

[Zoologic]

A sub on a sedan?

Unless it is station wagon Camry (Venza), it is not worth it. You'd only "impress" dead body on your trunk.

Lol Option A please. Option B is part of what gives me pause. I dont know if it would add much to lower tones or it would just increase "noise wall" and waste trunk space. I've messed with the EQ and gotten a decent balance with my current setup though.

The only problem I have is the result of my paying someone to run the cables. I figured a common 4 dr Camry (sedan zoologic) would be routine for them, and I had no experience. However, one thing I quickly gathered from every search result about car audio though: "Dont run the power and signal cables together."

Guess what I found zip tied together all the way down the side of the car? : (

New subject!!!

God, I hate Sylvia Plath...

research comes up with not much useful, make that into a 4000 word paper, excluding footnotes and bibliography...

[Flippy Warbear]

Anyone know good books and/or documentaries about the battle of narva 1944, especially material about Otto Carius would be highly interesting to me. I know his book (Tigers In The Mud) so that dont have to be mentioned.
