How bad are these? Or is it simply a case of no market 'cause the badge is wrong?
'07 Chevrolet Aveo
Test Jan '17
Asking €1,950
http://cars.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/chevrolet-aveo-1-2-ls-nct-28-01-2017/8128927
A lot better than you'd think, not only reliable, but reasonably good to drive, simple older opel bits in them.0 -

You do understand that this thread is to recommend cars yeah?
Read the first post in this thread.

Despite being a Honda enthusiast the owner seems to be looking to swap for a Passat/ IS200/ Glanza. I'd guess for a cash sale he'd do it for less than the 1500 asking....It would seem well minded, NCT 08/15; 126K miles. Possibly the cheapest clean and original VTEC Civic you will find, albeit what will be to most a less desirable 5 door.
Would I drive is?...all day long;)0 -
Very practical car, pity there isn't any interior shots though?johndaman66 wrote: »You do see the likes of that being done all the time though one way or another. Hardly that new

Cian, you are right about the lower air intake resistance. But the original setup sucks cold air from outside, while in that red Honda the air intake is in the hot engine bay. I personally see no benefits there. And the aesthetics are not pleasing to the eye either.The majority of Hondas, especially the B Series engines, do tend to make noticeably more power with a cold air intake or even just more open filter like that.
I don't need to look too far. My own 1997 Honda VTI is fully original, still has the original air filter which works perfectly, and the original radio with a tape deck and CD changer.johndaman66 wrote: »True but what 1998 car is 100% original at this stage? Please feel free to find me another 1998 car, most specifically a VTEC Civic that is as clean and original as that one asking bangernomics money. They may be out there but I'd hazard a guess they will be asking multiples of that price. At this stage most VTEC Civics of that era and price would at best be plastered in cheap Halfrauds tat or driven into a pulp at worst.
Not yet for sale, but no, I will not be looking for multiple figure of the red one. An excellent car the way it came out from the factory. Just my own opinion. Sorry for OT

How realistic is his claim of 47 mpg?0 -

A venturi is by definition a restriction,
This is what I've been told anyway and I'd trust the lad that told me.
It's a type of intake that causes the air to spiral and compress as it enters the engine, hence, more power.
Very basic description, probably wrong but there you go. :pac:
And here's the S2000 video.
EDIT: And as you'll see, the standard air filter for the S2000 is a cone filter so the above makes little sense.0 -

For those 180 degres, the air is moving quickly down the intake into that cylinder. then the valve closes. And the air hits it and stops. This causes the incoming moving air to back up, causing a back pressure ( as a wave moving away from the intake)f That would kill any attempt to get the air moving in one "spiral" mass.
Fair enough, I'm no engineer so I wouldn't have a clue.
They work though, I've seen the improvements between the above and a standard/regular cold air intake.
How they do it, shall for now at least, remain a mystery.
