<title>Displacement vs Forced Induction/ v8/12 vs 4 cyl</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23387251</link>
<description><![CDATA[The infamous "Theres no replacement for displacement" debate. Looks like the V8 is in a run for it's money!

To name a few:

Subaru WRX
Mitsubishi Evo 8
Chevy Cobalt SS
Honda S2000

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJpLTB_opm4

Here's a 4 cylinder engine producing 400 Break Horsepower, which keeps up with a 12 Cylinder engine!

The Honda s200 isn't even turbo charged and it produces 120 Horsepower per liter, amazing!

Here's another video of an old Honda CRX beating a Lamborghini! It's probably got a K20 motor in it with over 200 Horsepower, mind you the CRX weighs roughly 2,000 pounds.

<title>[Help] Autocheck or Carfax</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23396765</link>
<description><![CDATA[Apologies if this is a repost:

Which is better, Autocheck or Carfax?

I'm planning on buying my first used car. I have been living overseas, now I'm coming back to the US and my car is in transit for about a month. Rather than spend $2k for a rental, I'm looking to shell out about a grand plus whatever for registration and insurance on a beater that can last 30 days.

Long story short, which vehicle history checker offers the best bang for the buck?  

Thanks.

<title>Well Done, Ford!!</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23257226</link>
<description><![CDATA["Consumer Reports, in their annual initial reliability survey results released this afternoon, provides good news for Ford, which is perceived as offering quality and reliability on par with Asian automakers. Chrysler, on the other hand, dropped to near-Daewoo levels."

Looks like even the anti-domestic sources are finally admitting what's been obvious for years - Ford makes some great, reliable cars. I think they have a bright future.

Chrysler, though, seems like a lost cause.

<title>Honeywell Defense</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23378777</link>
<description><![CDATA[Swung into my local Fleet Farm to grab filters and oil for our vehicles. I like Purolator and they are a dealer. But I found the new Honeywell Defense oil filters where the Purolators used to be. Luckily they just moved the later, and have not discontinued selling them. Knowing Honeywell makes Fram, and that these Defense filters were half the price of the Frams next to them, I knew to stay clear. Everything I have seen on the internet says the Defense are just Frams with new paint. Anyone know if that is true? Anyone have experience with them yet?

<title>I sold my baby....</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23375659</link>
<description><![CDATA[My '89 Civic hatchback - I just sold it for $300.  Hated seeing it sitting in the driveway not being driven at all.  I had soooooo much fun in the car it is not funny.  6 BMW performance drivers schools - a total blast and a remarkably fun car for it with no performance mods.

I am going to miss it - hopefully in the next 2 years I can save enough up (school loan almost paid off) and I can get a 325i or 328i to replace it and do the schools again.

I had the car since '95, it was hit 2 times - only once badly but you would never know it was hit), and the car had 46,000 miles.  It now has 214K with many original parts and surprisingly little rust for being in Ohio. 

I will have to get a picture tomorrow and post it...

 :( :( :( :(

<title>GPS with video input</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23368673</link>
<description><![CDATA[Not the best place for this? Please, freely move...
I need a new GPS. Mine's lame and no more map updates.
While at it, I'd also like a backup camera for my van.
But I don't want two LCD units on the dash.
So what's a good, not insanely priced, device that can do this? Doesn't *have* to be a 'GPS' but some device that's about the standard size that can do GPS and take an aux video input...
This is cool:
http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-5000-5-2-Inch-Portable-Navigator/dp/B0011UIXLG

But $250+....gets to my level of 'insane' price, whether it's worth it or not...
Thanks,
KM
