Hikaki posted:Exactly this, even for the fumoto valve. There's no point when you still have to go through all the same annoyances for the filter. My car also has a cover plate with 9 bolts to remove so what's one more for the drain. If I had a GT86 or WRX with the top-mount filter, then we'd be talking. "you can't make everything easier so you shouldn't bother making one thing easier" is a weird take for sure. With a Fumoto in you no longer have to gently caress around with copper washers and making sure the plug is torqued properly or the occasional 'gently caress the drain plug is in the bowl of oil' disaster. Get a Fumoto and treat your car to an oil filter relocation kit... really push the boat out to make your life easier.

The CR-Z just seems like a total "meh" of a car. Not fast, not comfy, gas mileage is just OK. I just never saw the market it was aimed at.

Allegedly the new Rangers have some sort of fuckery required to change the oil on them. Like supposedly lifting it up, removing wheel, removing panel etc..... Maybe its not that bad after you've done a few, but the way someone explained it to me, it just sounded pretty awful.

I think it was aimed at GenXers that grew up with the original CRX but wanted a hybrid now that they're older and more environmentally conscious. And yeah that market didn't really exist, what we wanted was a car like the original CRX gently caress the environment  If they would have made a new CRX Si instead of the CRZ, Honda would have sold a shitload of them I think.

That would be some awesome poo poo. BlackMK4 posted:c5 is a fd rx7 made ugly Ugly and fat

I can't seem to find the old Honda-Tech mid engine Del Sol build. Did it ever get finished? I recall there was also a mid-engine Integra build around the same time, I think.

Applebees Appetizer posted:Good point, but you can get a wide body C6 I have a perverse dream to take a C5 Corvette and make it Japanese tooner style. Big bolt on flares, Volk wheels, 1 giant canister muffler, strip the interior and put a fixed back seat in it + deep dish steering wheel, big 3D aero wing, teeny Craft Square mirrors etc. Like this but even more so:

I have to imagine that thing tows like a champion, long wheelbase should make it very stable. Would a livery version of a town car have upgraded engine and transmission cooling to begin with?

Should be good for that little bit of trailer and the stretch. Some flavor of Chevy or Holden V8.
