That's £15000 that can be spent on a big single turbo that the B58 is happy to take, even with cast rods the b58 has been throwing out 800hp and nine second 1/4 mile times in the 240i.
Late 90s jdm cars reddit manual#
Like I'm looking at listings for used cars and that new supra can be had for £15000 cheaper than the turbo manual a80. Like hear me out, the new BMW Supra is better than the old one and much like the old one its not as loved as it should be when its new (luke warm take I know). have 90's cars finally become so old and new cars so good that what made them great simply isn't true anymore? like wayyy too expensive, and it got me wondering, beyond being beautiful cars of possibly the greatest era for cars ever. If you're prepared and have done your research and know what to work on and keep in mind while driving, you should have very little difficulty learning what you need to learn and get used to.Cars are expensive right now. It's not a major thing and isn't very dangerous, but god damn it's annoying to have driven the car for 2 years and still accidentally do it.Īll in all people tend to overestimate how difficult it will be to learn to drive a RHD car in the US.
This will cause you to constantly hit your turnsignal when you want your wiper and hit your wiper when you want your turn signal. With RHD Japanese cars at least (and I'm guessing others too) your wiper stalk and your turnsignal stalk will be swapped, and be on opposite sides of each other. Lastly, the thing that still gets me almost every time I drive my RHD MR2 if I've driven a LHD car at all recently. This also applies to some yielded turns if you need to see oncoming traffic in that scenario, but I haven't really run into that issue much with my MR2. I had real difficulties being able to see around the car in front to ensure I'd pass safely, and if it was a truck of some sort, there would be almost no way. One thing people dont tend to talk about, that was unique for me was that if you're on a 2 lane highway or road with passing, and you need to peak around the car in front to pass and to check oncoming traffic, it's WAY harder in a RHD car. I believe this is the most difficult and dangerous thing to get used to, but it also isn't hard to learn quickly if you're aware of it.ĭrive thrus/mobile atms/mobile mailboxes/etc are harder but that's obvious.
Due to this people first learning to drive RHD may start to cross the middle dividing line of the road, or lean to the edge of the lane, or the thing you most have to look out for, taking turns too wide/narrow and rubbing against curbs.
This was not a problem at all in the car by the time it arrived, but might be a bit more difficult if you can't practice it before the car gets there, but I doubt it'll be a major problem.Ī big change I know through overseas car rental companies in countries that have RHD, is that when people used to driving LHD hop in a RHD car and start driving without much thought or warning, they can run into an issue where their brain is used to them driving on the left hand side of the car and so they will slowly drift the car to left to align themselves with the position their body thinks it should be in. I have a sim rig so before the car arrived I started getting used to shifting with my left hand. You can get used to every aspect of driving a RHD car in the US, but some aspects will take longer to get used to.
