Thread 513422183

EU needs to get nuked like Japan.

there's a thing in the engine that slows it down and if you take that thing out the car drives at full speed.

>>513423182
It would be in the cpu of the car

Just do an LS swap

>Be James Bond escaping from a bomb going max speed
>Forgot to pay the subscription fee so you die

You wouldn't pirate a car.

Can’t wait for geohot to release the vw jailbreak

Wait don't they have speed limits though so it kinda makes sense. If it's region locked that way though.

BMW have tried the same shit with heated seats and multimedia - backfired massively. Also, no one buys these electric cuck rides anyway except some cucked out startups who want cheaper fleet lease and to receive a good goy grants from the gubbamint

>>513422183 (OP)
Manufacturers the world over limit the power of engines depending on the model with a few lines of code, people pay hundreds to unlock them already, they're just tapping a market that already exist and eliminating the middleman.

>>513426518
No, they don't. Limiters in go carts, and lawn mowers are literally just a block that prevents you from fully depressing the pedal. If you're talking about people installing turbos, and having the to reprogram them on account of the engine now having far more air in the mixture, it's a totally different thing.

You are a big goober. If you post someone re-tuning a car for 8hp (they're just running richer gas at a higher compression) I'm going to mock you for being a retard.

>>513427006
Bruce is technically correct, you have the same engine capacity in models badged differently and with a different power output - mostly through the ECU trickery and maybe a turbo from a factory
I don't know how it might work in electric cuck wagons because I don't fucking care for them. EV drivers are faggots, niggers and should either be culled or kill themselves

>>513425074

I remember the bmw paid monthly subscription models. Did they really stop it though?

>>513427489
They gave up. Sales have been already poor and they have been downgrading the quality since the last generation ot 5 series - the new one is a disgrace to their brand

>>513423182
you’re talking about a governor chip and no EV’s don’t have the same components

tesla does this with acceleration boost, where you can legitimately pay $2000 to get 2 more seconds of acceleration

it’s all software-gated and validated both car and server side at all times

welcome to the future

Imagine buying a new car instead of keeping a classic 90s japanese car running forever

>>513427006
It's mostly a block at the throttle control and yeah whenever you do aftermarket to any car post late-90's you have to either reprogram the ECU or buy a new programmable ECU and program it. Any turbo or supercharger added to a non-version will increase it by more than 8hp.
>>513427645
Bmw's have been a disgrace for a while here and mostly a status symbol so I figured americucks would love monthly subscriptions to enable sport mode. It's the cheaper Mercedes to prove you can pay the higher price for car and parts since it's European.

>>513427006
>if you post someone re-tuning a car for 8hp (they're just running richer gas at a higher compression) I'm going to mock you for being a retard.
A lot of times that restricts the gas that the car can use to only be the highest octane readily available.... and require a skilled tuner to make that tune for that specific vehicle.
The "tunes" on stock cars are designed for maximum reliability across the entire fleet. You bump up the ignition timing a few degrees and suddenly 10% of the entire fleet now has pinging issues when its hot out and the gas is kinda old.

You're not paying to unlock "the last 10%", you're paying for a guy to spend time to make a tune that is custom to your specific car... and also assume the risk that comes with it.

But those "mail in your ECU get it flashed" tunes are a load of BS IMO. Basically half of the subie world.

>>513427196
>you have the same engine capacity in models badged differently and with a different power output
Usually those engines have different cams and/or changes to the exhaust/intake manifolds to adjust how the torque curve is shaped. It's very rarely just a software thing... Although nowadays that may be different.

In all likelihood, it's not the "tune" that you unlock, but the last 20% of the throttle by fucking with how much the drive-by-wire throttle is allowed to open. They already do that for traction control and speed limiters and shit, so just putting it behind a paywall seems way easy.

That's why subbies throw rods all the time.

>>513422183 (OP)
Again?

>>513427821
In Europe most of them are fine quality and reliability wise, maybe because they have been made by germans for Europeans - don't know, maybe Shaneequa and LeDarius assembling them for you makes the difference. You're right about the status symbol though - most of the drivers are office managers who would suck themselves off if they could and scum who act like niggers

>>513428039
yeah, and COBB has the aftermarket by the balls. It fucking sucks.
Glad i'm a miatafag who's entire car runs off an arduino. Now i only have to worry about an injector getting clogged and melting a piston on the track (again).

>>513427006
>8hp
That's true if you're a retard who drives naturally aspirated in 2025, Smart people just turn up the boost 5psi with a flash tune and get 100hp extra

>>513428080
BMW's go to shit after 6 years.
We pay tariffs and shipping on the cars and parts while your local mechanics have been working on them for decades. It's the same reason why you don't see mustangs or corvettes over in Europe unless someone wants to flex.
>>513428275
Based miata owner. My garage car is an 60's fiat spyder and racer is a '98 prelude. I don't do track anymore though.

>>513428384
>racer is a '98 prelude.
fucking based. I've been wanting one as a daily for a while now

I also do bikes on the track... Current track ripper is a zx6r because im not experienced enough to really benefit from putting any of my litrebikes on it. Getting passed by some chad on a 400cc isn't too bad when you're on a old carbed 600. Getting passed by a 400cc when you're riding a litrebike is embarrassing as fuck though.
But bikes are already powerful enough that just adding turbos makes them wildly unusable for anything that isn't highway pulls.... not gonna stop me from turboing my old busa though :)

>>513428384
Dutch farmers are buying your Dodge RAMs and Ford F150s en masse (although converting them to LPG because that engine size with european fuel prices is too expensive). Leftist faggots are always screeching at the sight of them and that makes them instantly likeable. If you work in a farm it makes for a great utility vehicle

>>513428652
>Dodge RAMs
This place is full of them too all of the sudden since like 2 years ago. I don't get it.

>>513428636
I even turbo'd and did a bunch of aftermarket to it. Glad, I got it 10 years ago for a steal. If I gutted the interior I could take it to the tracks but I like it original.

I don't do bikes. I wanna get into them but never had the time.
>>513428652
That's new to me especially with how the used truck market is here. I am not surprised though. You see those trucks last for million+ miles on a farm when maintained.

>>513429428
>I don't do bikes. I wanna get into them but never had the time.
They are way way way easier to work on.
>>513429428

Most clubs will allow you to run stock cars at some of their track days, assuming you have a helmet and the rest of the car passes tech. It's a worthwhile thing to do just to really feel how you can push the car.

>>513429618
Maybe when my beater finally dies and I'm tired of it, I'll get an old motorcycle. Hell, I won't even buy my pops '08 harley. I'd rather my friend from outta state have it.

I push the car enough in rural mexico and sometimes on the highway if someone's getting cocky. The only time I'll race or track again is if I can get a team to do endurance racing.

So it doesn’t even matter because German engineering is a meme.

You all don't see the bigger picture here. I wish they would make cars cheaper with a shitload of subscriptions. Imagine buying an Audi A8 for peanuts. Now , regarding those subscriptions , there is already a russian dude who is waiting to crack them and put the by pass on Torrent lmao

>>513432513
>I wish they would make cars cheaper with a shitload of subscriptions.
consooooomer

>>513432831
Did you read my entire post? The cars would get cheap and they would hide everything under a pay wall. That's when some Ivan from Russia comes in who already cracked the code and you can have everything for free .
I forgot you Americans never had any idea how to use Torrents

Hacking my car to go full speed sounds like some anime bullshit.

I did and the fact you continue with your consoomer nonsense is comical.

I have a plex server. It's sad how low-iq and angry krauts (posters) are today.

>>513433231
So why would you be against a subscription based car? They will do exactly like big tech companies are doing with the printers. Sell it at a loss and hope people unlock as many subscriptions when in reality there will be a way to unlock them for free lol

>>513433493
>So why would you be against a subscription based car?
Cause that is not purchasing a car. Do you pay a subscription to run a microwave or oven?
I didn't even read the rest of your post cause you are obviously not a kraut and some immigrant/mutt.

Tampering with the ECU is now considered illegal for american cars... Emissions regulations or some shit.

Cool ill just drive even slower

It's obviously a euro idea.

this is pathetic. obviously this just makes them look desperate for cash, meanwhile any reasonable competitor will give you the full power output and vw will go bankrupt

it's probably a way to limit brown drivers.
browns are cheap and probably won't pay.

>>513439612
it's tech thing just like how you own no game, no movies, and software you own a license to it.
AKA a forever subscription till they change eula.

They are trying to push this shit ,so eventually people crack and accept it.

There is less than a 0% chance auto manufacturers are going to make cars cheaper.

They need to let china import vehicles before you'd see any changes, and that'll never happen

>getting mad about that shit
Who gives a fuck? It's not like any of you normalnigger retards use more than the first 1/10th of the throttle when you're rolling up the onramp toward 70mph flowing traffic. 300ftlbs in a 3500lb chassis and 65ftlbs is all you're willing to give. You dipshits don't deserve full power. It's not like you ever use it when it matters anyway.

The sweet spot for cars that aren't quite old enough to be a contant money pit but havent got all the government spyware and manufacturers bullshit subscriptions is between 98 and 2012.
