HEY LOOK SCOTTY NO HARD FEELINGS I HOPE LOOK IAM A (BMW)535i OWNER SHES ABOUT 4 YRS YOUNG AND I REALIZED AFTER AN ALL DAY RUN ALMOST NON STOP THE ENGINE BAY IS EXTREMELY HOT AND IF I RUN JUST TO THE STORE SHES JUST AS HOT SO I TOOK IT UPON MYSELF TO ACQUIRE UPGRADED COOLING SYSTEMS LIKE ITS INTERCOOLER; ITS OIL COOLER; ITS INTAKE AIR COOLING BOX; THE TURBO OIL LINE; ITS INJECTORS; ALONG WITH A DINAN INJECTOR REGULATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM; AND THE DINAN ENGINE POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM; AND A NEW MAGNAFLOW EXHAUST ALL THESE CHANGES WILL PROBABLY TAKE ITS BRAKE HORSEPOWER TO WELL OVER (550)DIDNT PLAN ON SUCH A POWER ADVANTAGE BUT DOING THE MATH ROUGHLY TELLS ME THIS IS WHERE ILL END UP OF COURSE THE SHOCKS AND WHEEL SPACERS FOR WELL PLANTED STABILITY IN CORNERING FINISHING OFF WITH REAR AND FRONT SPLITTERS OF CARBON FIBRE NOW IAM THINKING OF DOING ALL THIS WORK MYSELF YES I KNOW WHATS SAID ABOUT MODERN CARS AND ALL I GREW UP HANGING OUT IN GARAGES AS A KID SO IAM SOMEWHAT A NATURAL WITH CARS HOWEVER I FEEL A LITTLE INTIMIDATED HERE SINCE IAM ALSO SWAPPING OUT ITS TYRES AND BRAKES SO IAM GOING TO HAVE TO BLEED THE LINES NOT SURE I CAN DO THIS WITH A (BMW) WHATS YOUR SUGGESTIONS? IF ANY I KNOW YOULL PROBABLY HAVE A RIOT WITH MY QUEST HOWEVER IAM TRYING TO CUT LABOUR COT HERE AND HAVE SOME FUN DOING THIS THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OF SUMMER.

Scotty, you cant trust the manual for viscosity. Period. BRZ manual says 0w20, but Japan manual recommends up to 5w40. 0w20 is bad in heavy load usage on the BRZ (hills, mountains, track days, autocross. I agree you dont want to drop in a 20w50, it will be way too thick. But this 0w10 garbage is useless for wear protection in heavy loads or high temperatures. Its all a joke because the car manufacturers have to use 0w10 and 0w20 to cheat the emissions tests and increase their profits and bottom line. Be careful and check the European and Asian market manuals for your cars. The North American manuals cannot be trusted.

My first Car was a 1977 Ford LTD Police Interceptor, that is still the best engine Ive ever owned. It was really fast and I never did anything but change the oil, water pump twice, alternator once and standard tune ups. It did get horrible fuel mileage, but I sold it in 2000 with 390k miles on it, never broke down a single time. I know your talking about the 300 engine, but I just had to say something about this car, it was great. The guy I sold it to did the timing chain and restored it. It still drives it to this day with over 500k on the original engine and transmission. They dont make em like that anymore.

Forgot to mention my pride and joy back around 69. Bought a spanking new 69 Pontiac Custom S w OHC inline 6 cyl and AT end of 68. Like a GTO, but w OHC 6. Broke it in, best tires, ran it out to Wyoming on the lonely stretches often steady 135mph. Never overheated and this was July w AC full blast. Superb handling too with that lighter 6cyl giving better weight distribution. Had tried out a 68 Firebird w 400 and 4spd on floor before buying the Custom S. Handling no wheres near as stable with that 400. Straight line from stop put everything else in your rear view but poor weight distribution hurt handling.

hard to put an inline six in a front drive corolla, most of the american inline sixes were set up with small cylinder bore size and longer stroke, the camshaft profile was set up to give maximum torque at low rpm and hp peaked a around 4000 rpm. this allowed it to pull heavy rear wheel drive cars and trucks without a problem. and get little better fuel economy than v8. these engines seem to last longer than v8s because they turned lower rpms to do the same job.

The era of rear wheel drive on sedans ended long time ago inline 6 engines are for rear wheel drive because their long size most sedans and SUV are now front wheel drive the only rear wheel drive cars are the race cars. It is more practical and inexpensive to mass produce v6 that can be mounted on different models either sedans SUV or trucks for example v6 Nissan uses the same v6 on different cars like G35, Z, Maxima, Altima and frontier

Inline sixes went away because they didnt fit in transverse front-wheel drive platforms. Now that V6 engines are disappearing from FF cars and V8s are disappearing from FR luxury cars, the I6 is coming back as a replacement for V8s in luxury cars. Mercedes has a new one and soon Mazda ) will have one too. Also with the marginalization of V8s, it makes more sense to design your six as an inline four plus two than a V8 minus two.

Really Scotty? You think the Toyota Corolla Hatchback or the Toyota Matrix can compete with the Golf GTI/R, Focus ST/R, Hyundai Veloster Turbo Rspec/N, Civic Type R, or even the Fiesta ST. You dont know hatchbacks. Hilarious There are tons of hot hatch reviews on youtube and none of them even consider anything from toyota. Toyota got no bite in the hot hatch segment. You are starting to look like a Toyota stooge.
