1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Now if we can find the names the prop shafts and u-joints are marketed under. We know that Koyo bearings are remarketed by National.

 

Like realistically, knowing how high of quality (like high freaking quality), I couldn't bring myself to purchase a vehicle that wasn't made with these top quality parts and processes. That's too important to me now lol

 

Yeah, that would probably be the hardest and most expensive part.

 

Quality names like Spicer just rather buy the already made center bearing from Koyo or whoever makes the final product, rather than setup an initial production run. Makes sense why. But it's more and more sister companies with the actual production though it seems. I dunno why supply chain crap is so fascinating to me, but I really like it

 

Alright you two lovebirds passing around and posting selfies of each other

 

Lmfaooooo laughing out loud this early is great bwahahah

 

Oh good, FCA just filed a patent for the next thing they'll totally fuck up. They're likely bringing back an inline six as a base engine model instead of pentastars in muscle cars. Supposedly going to be turbo. But it's FCA, so expect it to be a day late and a dollar short, and to probably be unreliable considering their history with boosted engines.

I thought emissions standards were the reason everyone moved away for inline sixers

 

Don't see any reason they can't be as efficient as everything else. They have the most balanced rotating assemblies. Direct injection, hell even port fueling, solved the imbalanced fuel delivery of carbureted sixxers long ago. They're the easiest engine to build way over square and not have be shaky, so you can usually build them way stronger than other engine types. The biggest downside is the space they occupy, they're long and that leads to a long hood, or in BMWs case a firewall that blocks the back of the engine. Also that moves weight forward. Of course aluminum blocks are standard now so that's less of an issue.

 

you're brutal

 

Good morning fellas

 

And actually didn't he say he quit fast food for over 3 months??
