What Are You Thinking About?

[BlancNoir]

FB20 is only rated less than 160hp. The turbocharged FA20 can be tuned for more than 300hp.

The L15B7 is tuned to around 200hp as used in the newest generation of the Accord. Ford's new 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo engine is also rated at 200hp.

My bad. It is the FA20, not the FB20.

Napansin ko lang, kaliwat kanang recalls lately. Di ba dapat as technology progresses, dapat less issues?

Probably because of fierce competition ... Car companies want to lower cost so they squeeze their suppliers ... Suppliers want to beat their competitors so they offer lower price at the expense of quality ... If you will notice, most of the problems started when China was booming ... A lot of companies switched to China factories because of the competitive pricing ... Factories in Japan, Taiwan and Korea had to lower their prices ... They had to save money somewhere so they skimped on quality here and there ... Pretty soon you see the cascading effect ... Takata airbag, steel quality problems ...

Then there's also impractical government restrictions ... Technology can only get so far at any given time frame ... Hence you have Dieselgate scandal ... You get (arguably) useless technology like engine start-stop ... and so on ...

Makes sense.

Also, not to mention the ever increasing horsepower war. New models usually have higher outputs compared to their preceding model.

Speaking of useless technology, the worst for me is the push button parking brake.

Nagsawa na ata. Oh well. I can never be happy I hate my life.

Yung Civic halos hindi na gumalaw HP since the EG.

EG - PH16 1.6L 125hp (non-VTEC)
EK - PH16 1.6L 127hp (VTEC)
ES - D16 1.6L 130hp (VTEC)
FD - R18 1.8L 141hp
FB - R18 1.8L 141hp
FC - R18 1.8L 141hp

Same case with the Corolla:
AE101 - 4AFE 1.6L 110 hp
AE111 - 4AFE 1.6L 110 hp
E120 - 3ZZ-FE 1.6L 109 hp
E140 - 3ZZ-FE 1.6L 109 hp
E140 - 1ZR-FE 1.6L 122 hp
E170 - 1ZR-FE 1.6L 122 hp

As well as the CRV:
Gen 1.5 - B20 148 hp
Gen 2 - K20 150 hp
Gen 3 - R20 150 hp
Gen 4 - R20 150 hp
Gen 5 - R20 154 hp

I think the pressure is not solely on increasing output, but maintaining a reasonable power-to-weight ratio while improving efficiency.

So if the car gets bigger, they have to slap on a more powerful engine that has the same efficiency.

You are right.

Maybe the correct analysis would be higher output for new engines using the same displacement. [emoji23]

Still, it is 10% lang from the 1.6L of Toyota, a neasley 4% from Honda.

Yes, maybe we should account for the kerb weight increase per succeeding model.

I can't help it. Maybe it's because my life is sh1tty in general and it's just these people who come into my life that bring sunshine to it. Kaya when I lose them, it's gloomy again

The time that I've been dreading has come; I will have to drive through SLEX na starting tomorrow because my shift changed to 5pm -2am. Any tips for a newbie like me?

Stay in the middle lane. The left is for fast cars and the right is heading for the exits.

Same as what dreamur stated and make sure to flash your signal light when changing lanes. Stay in the middle lane if you’re just doing around 80 kmh. Don’t be afraid to pass another car, the quicker the better. You can’t wait all day long for a lazy person doing just 60 kmh on the middle or left lanes.

Newbie? Stick in middle Lane, cruise at 80 kph. Until you're not newbie anymore.

"mis na mis kunakayo."

i'm just wondering, why you guys are simply invisible on some days.

dok may araw kasi hindi muna agad online. Last week may game purefoods ko tapos kadamay pa kalaban so focus ako nyan. And yung sa lazada 11/11 napapatingin ako kahit nakakahilo na sa dami at puro flagship lang ako kasi hinahayaan magbenta jafakes eh. Tingin din ako siopee at tinanong ko muna seller kung tunay ba.

Ang tagal kasi transaction ng sm group dalhin amazon dito pinas. Sila daw magcocourier eh.

Serious suggestion: find out or seek out what makes you happy. Try something new, maybe something you've been vaguely interested in for the longest time. Malay mo, it might become a hobby or a passion And it'll be something that's yours alone, unaffected by whoever might come and go in your life.

SLEX isn't so bad... you just need to take note of the difference in speeds and how many car length distances to maintain vs traffic only driving...

Also make sure you don't miss your exit and line up at the proper toll booth (Epass/ETC or CASH)

It is best to get RFID for a better experience. The lines on the Cash lane can be bad sometimes.

In the wee hours, SLEX is a breeze to drive. You may want to avoid the trucks on the middle lane so make sure to pass them.
