the useless fucking cup holder in the arm rest of the del sol. They set it at such a goofy angle that even with the cup in the first slot its a contortionast act to get it out while driving. Also almost nothing but a can or small drink will fit those things.

The storage box between the two seats in the MR2: it stores CD's and such, but if you need to access it while driving, you will die.

There are more tuning capabilities for having a different cam for each set of intake and exhaust valves...you can tune more to make power. They are more efficient in terms of gas mileage due to being able to more precisely control when the valves open and close, and how much.


Any Dual Overhead Cam Engine that is a V will have four cams. DOHC Cobra motors, 350z/G35, etc.

DOHC X 2 heads = 4 Cam

tons of motors like that are in production today.

Heh. I saw an 86 civic, with the big word "CIVIC" across the back windshield the other day, and laughed.

Because, you may hit a bump and spill your drink.
