Once again, do some research. Reality and what you think are clearly 2 different things.
In fact, let me help:
Bad design may well be to blame for the problems, but there still has to be a physical reason that causes it. In this case it's uneven tyre wear.
Hahahahahaahah!
You've just proven that you know jack about this.
I'll type this slowly so you can understand: it made the papers.
What else are you clueless about?
Obviously you don't.
Nothing.
I love it, according to one poster on that fourm "rolling circumference of the tyres" can cause the diffs/tranfer box to go, I guess turning corners is out of the question then.
No, I'm saying that the cause of the diffs/transfer box failure isn't caused by a few mm worth of tyre.
Date and name of papers then.
Here's a question, what othe car uses the same transfer box that these Volvos use?
Says the gimp with the wanabe sports car.
It's pretty well documented to be the case, though.
Yes, THAT'S how little you know. Even I can see it.
Please, a mid engined Clio? what's it got that the 172 hasn't? (apart from RWD)
But if it's true, that it's caused by a difference in the rolling circumference of the tyres, then turning corners would also damage the diffs/transfer box.
60bhp, 80lbs/ft, 1,000cc, rare-ness.
I love the way you've folded on the AWD Volvo argument though :-)
You've kind of hit the nail on the head there
Of course, the extra 83bhp is handy, too.
F****it.
Correction, I'd forgotten Dan had the pikey one ;-)
Mmmm... but is it a 'better' car? is it that much faster? does it handle better? is it more fun to drive?
Hey! I don't fold faster than Superman on laundry day.
Yup, only 60 extra bhp, not 80 heh. Still, on the upside, at least I can post about my own car, and don't have to resort to talking about my mate Steve's skoda or whatever it was last time.
I don't have a Skoda :-P
Yes, yes and yes.
