  • Sometimes I wonder how journalists actually published these considering all the incorrect information written in them. Maybe stick your field of expertise next time. I'm by no means a genius either, but the difference is, I don't go around acting high and mighty about things I know nothing about, especially to the point where I'd publish an article over it.
    Just how bad is it, you ask? Well imagine articles mocking ACTUAL PERFORMANCE mods and calling them "Not Mechanically advantageous" or calling any colored wheel "Ugly" since they're some old mid-life crisis loser who only loves boring Silver Wheels. Yeah, and it gets much worse, so scroll up and watch!

    Unless you are doing a full gearbox swap, you can't simply buy paddles and slap them on your steering wheel! It doesn't work like that!
    Also, bladed, you got a detail a bit wrong there. Yes, typically paddles are there for an automatic with a manual mode, but paddles are also a common option for gear selectors on sequential manuals, which have a clutch and cannot shift themselves, as is typically the case on track cars.

    essentially, oni-kyan means "demon camber", which means just putting a shit-ton of camber on your front or rear wheels. usually done on VIP-style cars (stanced sedans with luxurious interiors). it was also used on drift cars back in the 90s on the front wheels such as rough world and b-wave's cars, in order to get better contact on the front tires whilst drifting.

      The only amount of camber that is actually an advantage in any type of racing is barely visible, so you are wrong there lol. When the wheels on a car are cambered 45 degrees away from vertical, you are literally driving on your rims. That's like trying to run while balancing on one toe.

    • @markwright3161
      @markwright3161 2 года назад +7

      I doubt they put that much thought into it. I think they just saw someone using the paddles in a race car or higher-end sports car and believe that to be a manual transmission, even when it's just a DCT or similar that they've simply put to 'manual mode' (or however you want to phrase it).
      They probably don't realise that you can have a DCT (or DSG as they like to call it) in a Golf as well as in a Porsche (or PDK as they call it) and think the owner of the Golf with a DCT is being stupid for having the paddles behind the steering wheel as 'they know it to be automatic' but in not knowing that Porsches with PDKs are also automatic just with the driver choosing to change gear themselves more often in videos of them driving on track or wherever, leading to them thinking they're manual transmissions. The DSG, PDK, etc names probably don't help them realise they're all some form of DCT.

      @@jason200912 Diesel cars are or at least were extremely popular here in the UK and across Europe, even small diesels in hatchbacks like the Ford Focus, I actually drive a 1.6 litre diesel Focus.
      As for diesel hybrids, they do exist. Land Rover had a diesel hybrid Range Rover in the UK for a while for example.
      Diesels don't lend themselves very well to stopping and starting as they have much higher compression and take a lot longer to warm up so I imagine that's something to do with it. Running a diesel cold a lot isn't good for it and in a hybrid application I imagine it would spend a lot more of it's time cold as they try to run as an EV as much as possible. Land Rover probably tried to make a long distance hybrid, run on diesel for a motorway then electric when you reach the town/city. As most hybrids are bought to putter around town, there was never a big enough market for many other manufacturers to be jumping on board or for them to get a lot of publicity. Follow that with VW diesel-gate and they're eliminated as an option now.
      I don't think diesel cars are common in the US for a couple of reasons. Petrol, or gasoline, has never been as expensive over there as it has been here in Europe to make 10 mpg differences significant enough to be particularly beneficial financially, and I imagine a lot of journeys are done within towns and cities, lots of independently short journeys where a diesel won't warm up and only fail eventually from the various problems that can cause.
      On the other hand though, Locomotives are often Diesel-Electric. Not quite the same as a hybrid as they're more of a diesel generator producing electricity to drive the motors, but I think it's a worthy mention. Covering way more miles each and running for long amounts of time per journey, the benefits of the higher energy density adds up a lot more while the slow to warm up initially nature isn't a concern with them usually starting at one point in the day and running for several hours or more after that until the locomotive's working day is over.

      To be fair, the author said "front mounted". The author was saying that the placement of the intercooler doesn't have an "advantage" over top mounted intercoolers. Some might argue that the advantage is minimal, thus not worth the labour and cost, but that wasn't the author's argument. Intercoolers increase performance by dissipating heat as quickly and efficiently as possible, and the author apparently is too ignorant to realize this.

    Scissor Doors are a great idea for 2+2 coupes and 2-seat sports cars. The main point is that the longer doors, usually meant to allow easier entry and egress to the back seat (and actually just make getting in and out of the car easier) can pose a significant issue in a parking lot or garage. So Scissor doors are very useful. They don't always look good, like on a 2nd Gen Ford Focus Coupe, but they are practical for cars with longer doors.

    In terms of intercoolers, fmic gives better peak performance potential due to the straight airflow that is aided the faster you drive. tmic is chosen purely for two reasons: space constraint, and damage protection. This is the main reason STI always have had the hood scoop with a tmic setup, to avoid damaging the intercooler from frontal impact and road debris on rally stages, it's just a more secure location and 1 less mechanical hazard to worry about. Plus it looks neat. For certain applications with restrictions (like racing), a tmic may very easily be sufficient for what you're allowed to do in terms of power and cooling, but for straight unlimited performance an fmic has more potential.

    12:07 homie on the article was talking about sequential paddle shift transmissions. He was saying that sequential transmissions have a direct linkage with the paddles which is essential for putting that gearbox through the gear cycle. However, the “Acura” with an automatic transmission shouldn’t need to have a paddle shifter mod since it’s not even directly to the transmission but several other points before the ecu tells the auto trans to shift

    • @d_kortman
      @d_kortman 2 года назад

      You completely misunderstood what he was saying. Take F1 for an example, the paddle shifters are connected through a closed loop circuit to ensure a direct connection between the paddle and the transmission. And automatic gearbox doesn’t have the same mechanisms as a manual. Sequential transmissions are manuals. Manuals aren’t always with a gear shifter. F1 cars are manual. They have a clutch (hand operated but not used between gears because it’s sequential) and it doesn’t slip between gears, the gears thenself move in a sequential pattern to the next gear.

    Sequential dogbox transmissions can use air actuated shifting via paddles. With some tuning to cut spark to unload the engine when pulling the paddle. You can shift the dogbox without using a clutch. Otherwise you can still use paddles just close the throttle yourself to unload the drivetrain. A sequential transmission is quite expensive but if you ever get the chance to drive one you'll love it.
