Speaker A
Welcome, friends, to the second episode dedicated to the updated Legend with the 1.8-liter engine. In the first episode, we got our first impressions.
00:09
Speaker A
You know how we didn't want to disappoint, but we failed. Basically, almost all the improvements can be considered positive. The car has truly become more comfortable and quieter.
00:20
Speaker A
The engine impressions are mixed, but everything is spoiled by those transmission knocks and play, which for some reason none of the reviewers want to talk about. In this episode, we'll try to fix this issue ourselves on a small budget. They say the clutch disc
00:38
Speaker A
with the idle damper is to blame. We'll try replacing it. Maybe we'll look into the transfer case to see if we can reduce the vibrations a little.
00:46
Speaker A
Although they're already reduced in this car compared to the previous Legend, there's still some vibration.
00:51
Speaker A
This vibration really makes it hard to drive on long trips. Also, regarding the engine, the car is practically broken in. Subjective impressions are one thing, and a face-to-face comparison is quite another. Let's go for a quick spin up the hills, compare
01:06
Speaker A
it to that very legend of Naboo and Thelma. And then we'll hit the track.
01:12
Speaker A
Acceleration, elasticity—that's all we've done with sports. So, friends, I'm glad to welcome everyone again.
01:18
Speaker A
Here we go. Did you know that about 90% of all global electronics production is concentrated in China? And the Tyumen brand KSG.ru is no exception. KG.ru's boxes say "Made in Tyumen." Why is that? In Tyumen, engineers develop the
01:39
Speaker A
device specifications, and Kizgura CEO Vadim Bokov personally oversees development, creating a high-quality product at an affordable price. For example, the Shurik three-in-one screwdriver combines the functions of a drill, hammer drill, and screwdriver.
01:52
Speaker A
Record-breaking versatility. Tyumen-made Kisgurushurik tools are suitable for work around the house, in the garage, and for full-scale repairs.
02:00
Speaker A
The Tyumen Shurik comes with a comprehensive set of accessories, 75 attachments, and two batteries. This is a record. No other similar product has this feature. The Tyumen Shurik features a brushless motor, which extends its service life by a decade.
02:14
Speaker A
Tyumen has released a new product: the cordless angle grinder CASру Bgarrin. It cuts rebar without overheating. It boasts record-breaking power, comparable to a corded tool. The Bgarrin angle grinder has seven safety systems that minimize the risk of industrial injuries. It offers
02:28
Speaker A
record-breaking safety. Large drills are difficult to work with in tight spaces. Another new product from Tyumen, the cordless mini drill and screwdriver Cricket, is perfect for this. The Cricket, with its brushless motor and metal chuck, doesn't wobble
02:41
Speaker A
or become loose with constant use. You can view the entire tool case at a reasonable price using the QR code on the screen or the link in the description below this video. Get promo code QW2610 for a discount of up to

Speaker A
1,000 rubles. Accordingly, to get to the clutch disc, you need to remove the transfer case, you need to remove the gearbox. First, you need to disconnect these levers and remove this gearbox.
03:07
Speaker A
Apparently, we'll be able to take a full look at the new shifter design. Wow.
03:17
Speaker A
They really screwed it up here. Well, you see, our shifter isn't bolted to the body now, but it is still connected to the gearbox housing. And here we have a sliding support. And in the glove compartment, we have the instructions:
03:35
Speaker A
apply grease to the transmission control drive support plate. See, you don't need to do this on the zero. And then, every time, please, apply some grease here. You can see it here.
03:46
Speaker A
Damn, how much better is this than on this sport? It was just such a collective farm there.
03:51
Speaker A
There were people who didn't like the location of the lever, or rather, its angle. So, it looks like the gearshift lever has been moved, and the lever is facing a little there. If it's first gear, then it seems like it could be
04:02
Speaker A
moved. Yes. Well, let's say if we do it like this, it would be a lot more fun.
04:09
Speaker A
Let's check. Okay, I've just moved the lever quite far in my direction and back. And, basically, the adjustment is enough, the gears engage. This lever, it's mounted on the transfer case via rubber seals, which transmit less noise and vibration. Especially that nasty
04:29
Speaker A
Niva sound. Whisk, there's none here. On a regular Legend, the levers are simply bolted to the transfer case.
04:36
Speaker A
There are two of them, and they distribute the noise very well here. The only thing that saves this wispy feeling is the winter jacket, which covers and insulates the whole thing.
04:46
Speaker A
Well, everything is much more neatly done than on the Sport. Type it here, brother. Ah, well, that's all. Yes.
04:53
Speaker A
What does it say here? AvtoVAZ, yes, not AliExpress. How is it? A simple design. That's the weld quality. Well, consistency.
05:04
Speaker A
There. Did you hear that? I've noticed it periodically for a while now. It makes some very strange sounds.
05:14
Speaker A
Very strange. By the way, while we were removing this cover on the transfer case, we noticed that while the Sport model had screws everywhere, the lengths of which were very precisely selected at the factory, here, in some places, they may be just
05:28
Speaker A
out of harm's way, as they say, for safety reasons. Studs, yes, there are studs that I'm unscrewing now. Right there, somewhere, it seems, a pipeline is running through it now. Look, we'll take a look now. But there was no
05:39
Speaker A
smell of gasoline. That's what we want to get rid of again. I didn't mention in the last episode that our differential axles have a four-satellite, 24-spline design. That means our axle shaft is thicker, more powerful, and the differential itself
05:55
Speaker A
is stronger and has less play. Well, Dimon and I might do the same thing with the transfer case. For some reason, they didn't do this at the factory.
06:04
Speaker A
Although this is another serious source of play, well, and potential failure, because if something is loose, yep, it breaks itself.
06:15
Speaker A
Notice, I removed the rear driveshaft and you can see the characteristic oil splashes where the CV joint is.
06:23
Speaker A
Terrible, of course. Well, that's the grease squeezed out of the CV joint. Why did it squeeze out? Centrifugal force.
06:28
Speaker A
Well, that shouldn't happen. It should be sealed. Basically, before, you could move the transfer case a little on the mounts, but here you can't move it and because of that, you can't remove the driveshaft. Look, first of all, the
06:43
Speaker A
guard is removed. Even here, it's not some kind of guard, there's some kind of boot for noise insulation.
06:50
Speaker A
Then we have a breather here. So, yes, they did it. They went to the trouble and fixed it. The breather. The breather. Yes.
06:59
Speaker A
And here on the old one there was just this little thing. Yeah. And that's what I was talking about.
07:03
Speaker A
Look, just iron levers, two things that transmit all the vibration and torque. Here we have one lever through this clever system of levers. A bushing there, yeah.
07:12
Speaker A
And a bushing, like on a gear lever. And a million other gaskets, rubber bands, noise-reducing parts.
07:19
Speaker A
Well, there it is, this design and so on. It's crazy. I just... How do you get it back? I just force it through the tunnel. Remove this support.
07:33
Speaker A
Damn, well, this is definitely a sham. Okay, just take it off and shove it all back in later.
07:37
Speaker A
Yeah, I've really warmed up here. Okay, this play has warmed up. There it is. 1,000 km. Masha, well, that's not love, that's some kind of thing, and there are rubber bands over there, like, oh, some small springs. They work like some kind of
07:59
Speaker A
damper there. And this car is new, and if it's beat up, everything will be completely smashed.
08:05
Speaker A
And here's a wheel from NV Sport. Tell me, is this necessary if there's an elastic coupling in the intermediate shaft to absorb shock loads? Damn, there's a breather on the gearbox. I don't understand what the hell they hit them
08:22
Speaker A
with. The selectivity. Yeah, it's not even a breather, it's just that there is a breather on the transfer case.
08:28
Speaker A
Yeah. And this one is completely missing here. What's the point? Look, this blue hose goes.
08:35
Speaker A
They really went to t
08:42
Speaker A
Well, you see, here's where the gearbox breather comes out. And here's the second hose that goes there to these same clamps. I ran out of time. What the hell is this? There were also a lot of comments about "look at the tube
08:55
Speaker A
screw." Basically, there won't be any screws on the pipes here anymore, because they apparently watched our video. They replaced the pipes. They're now plastic. And they installed these human-made, what are they called, mounts. There. From which they won't
09:11
Speaker A
fall out under any circumstances. Look, this is the most critical mounting point. They made a stud, yes. And you also made a stud. See? So they definitely watched our video. And look here, they made this bend. This one, by the way, you see, wasn't just
09:25
Speaker A
there. Here, there's a screw here, and this bend here. That could have been done directly. By the way, many attribute all the Niva's vibrations to the separately hanging transfer case, but they forget that there were also cars where the transmission and
09:40
Speaker A
transfer case weren't a single unit, and there were no vibrations. I can go on Drom right now and throw out a few options. So, the good old G-Class has a separate transfer case. Dimon won't let me lie. This applies to both part-time
09:56
Speaker A
and full-time versions. There's no vibration in the car. The Jimny, hated by seine fishermen, also has a separate transfer case. I had that car not long ago. There's no vibration. There's a slight howl. The Sobol 4x4 also distributes torque through the axles
10:12
Speaker A
via a separate transfer case; there's also no vibration. Perhaps this has to do with the frame design, or perhaps with the quality of the transfer case itself, the driveshafts, their operating angles, and so on and so forth. And by the way, I forgot to
10:25
Speaker A
mention some cars. Help in the comments , and remember Edinodrom for a good car via the link in the pinned comment or the QR code. So, a four-satellite differential with reinforced 24-spline shafts was purchased for the transfer case. We already have a four-satellite
10:41
Speaker A
differential in the axles, also with 24 splines, but for some reason we don't have one in the transfer case.
10:47
Speaker A
Accordingly, we'll be working on that now. The task is clear: to eliminate play and make the structure more robust . After all, what do we have? Diesel traction.
10:57
Speaker A
Yeah. Okay, we drain the oil, disassemble, and inspect. The main thing is, like with the Tika, how can we not do this with the clutch.
11:07
Speaker A
And why is it that color, by the way? Yes, the car is about...I thought it would be light.
11:14
Speaker A
By the way, one of the ways to combat lift. You know what? I installed it on some of my Nivas, disconnected, disconnected the disconnector, yes, and your front axle, which has the most play, is cut off. And, by the way,
11:28
Speaker A
this really helped. Oh, try it from the other side. There are a lot of hooks here. So, something is holding there. Nothing is holding.
12:03
Speaker A
There. We took out the differential. Here's a new one, right? And it has new shafts with two-four splines.
12:12
Speaker A
So we still need to replace this shaft. And this shaft needs to be replaced.
12:17
Speaker A
First, we need to remove two bearings from here, move them there, and this sprocket gear there too. So, this is what our standard differential case looks like. Here we have only two satellites.
12:34
Speaker A
Yeah, look there, there's play. Look, there it is. Here's the play. See? And it all adds up. That's all it is. Yes.
12:42
Speaker A
Yes. The engineer who leads two NIV Legend Niva Travel projects explained about transmission play in one of his videos. The transmission play is related to the fact that the transmission on NIV vehicles is somewhat longer than on front-wheel
12:59
Speaker A
drive vehicles, and adjusting the clearances in all the gear engagements takes a certain amount of time. Yeah.
13:07
Speaker A
Yeah. On the one hand, on the other hand, the behavior of the front suspension and front differential is often counter-moving; when the suspension goes down, the differential goes up.
13:19
Speaker A
And this movement additionally leads to these gaps having to be filled in, well , within a certain time. Accordingly, when shifting, when the car bobs a bit, the gaps are filled first in one direction, then in the other, and at
13:35
Speaker A
that moment a slight knocking noise appears. So, how can this be minimized? First of all, it's by practicing the clutch pedal, that is, smoothly releasing the clutch pedal, and, of course, carefully and smoothly accelerating. This doesn't mean you
13:49
Speaker A
can't accelerate the car. It's just that under hard acceleration, these things will manifest themselves.
13:54
Speaker A
Well, I'll add on my own, I didn't notice this during acceleration, but when releasing the gas, yes, but when you release the clutch more smoothly, it really does disappear.
14:04
Speaker A
That's one point. I'd also like to add that, in principle, they took this phenomenon into account during engine calibration and minimized it through controller testing. Is it possible to somehow eliminate this altogether in the future, so as not to have to work
14:21
Speaker A
with the clutch? Well, for some, say, inexperienced drivers. Well, I think we can try to reduce it further, but probably not eliminate it completely.
14:32
Speaker A
You can still find a mode in which there will still be a clunking sound during shifting, yes.
14:36
Speaker A
Then I have another question: why are there Nivas? I drove one of those not long ago. Here's a Niva Marsmars, an old, used Niva, in which the transmission play is completely imperceptible. Something there, if there's no way to get rid of it from
14:50
Speaker A
the design, then it's possible after all. So, the differential is assembled. Congratulations on that. What a beauty.
15:01
Speaker A
Yes, we would have liked these shafts to remain standard so that we would have less work.
15:05
Speaker A
Well, we'll have to remove them now. But they made them reinforced. It's easy to just knock them out.
15:10
Speaker A
We just knocked out the shaft. Here it is. By the way, you can compare them here. Here they are clearly. 24 splines and 22. It's clearly thicker. And the shaft itself is thick.
15:25
Speaker A
Look over there, the pin is short, one is just thick. Yeah, not only is it short, one is also thin.
15:32
Speaker A
Yeah, the second one is thicker. The most difficult operation. Yeah. In the whole assembly, disassembly, transfer case, it's about getting the spring and ball in here.
15:49
Speaker A
Sha. This is, of course, trash. When we were disassembling it, Dimon even got punched in the eye.
15:53
Speaker A
Yeah. Our transfer case is assembled and awaiting installation. A newly purchased clutch is also awaiting installation. It wasn't that easy, actually, to find a damper-less disc, because, for example, the Sachs clutch also has this history. By the way, I
16:13
Speaker A
didn't get it at first. I thought there was a damper here too, but if you look closely, there isn't one.
16:19
Speaker A
Yes, by the way, there was also a Kraftech Zhiguli clutch here, but a little smaller. The design is the same, just more springs, right?
16:26
Speaker A
Yeah. By the way, the factory clutch has double springs. Yes, this one has single springs. Single springs.
16:34
Speaker A
Well, the reviews are mixed. Some say it's not the best quality clutch. On the other hand, the alternative, a damperless hatch, costs 30,000 rubles and there are a huge number of fakes.
16:47
Speaker A
Well, there are also other manufacturers who make damperless clutches. It doesn't matter. Yeah, we're friends. We've almost got everything assembled here. It's absolutely beautiful. While we're busy disassembling and assembling, I've been watching a lot of videos and watching
17:15
Speaker A
videos on this topic. It's some kind of phantom story. You sit there and think everyone has similar problems, but the solutions were completely different.
17:26
Speaker A
Someone changed the clutch, it helped someone, and for someone else it didn't . Someone eliminated 100%of the play with firmware. I don't believe that, but it does happen. Someone wrote about some crankcase gases getting somewhere and causing problems. That's what
17:42
Speaker A
causes play, you know? Crankcase gases. Some eliminate it with a valve stem, some with something else. People also write that as soon as we remove the damper and install a damperless clutch, some unpleasant sounds will appear at idle.
17:57
Speaker A
Yeah. I'm very curious to see how it all ends. Okay, well, the moment of truth.
18:08
Speaker A
Scary. We're most afraid of the rattling in neutral, at the tail-end of the revs. Damn, I didn't even believe that it was this feeling when you remove the gearbox, take apart the car, and then again there's nothing. That ball is moving there.
18:37
Speaker A
There's the ball there, it's just about there. Okay, off you go. Okay, so it's moving, that's good. They poured oil into the transfer case, don't worry.
18:54
Speaker A
Well, everything was fine on the lift. I'm afraid I'll be disappointed, but that's it. Okay. We turn off the low range gear. We engage first gear. And we were driving on the handbrake, just in case.
19:04
Speaker A
Normal. They're not there. They're not there. Yeah, they're not there. Well, that's not it.
19:15
Speaker A
Well, we'll drive around now, change gears. I don't think they're there. Well, in first, I'll add gas and let off. There really is some kind of micron there.
19:28
Speaker A
This is with the locking system off, right? I mean, yeah, everything is normal, damn. Holy. They were scaring me there, saying there would be knocking noises.
19:36
Speaker A
Third? Yeah, it's completely silent. Second gear is like that. Yeah. Holy. Wow. I can't even believe it's a new car and it doesn't have any play. A new Niva.
19:50
Speaker A
Basically, Dimon and I delivered a double blow. Not only has the play been reduced by 90%, but now the transmission will warm up, and we'll definitely take it for a spin at low speeds, where we felt it the most. So,
20:07
Speaker A
we're also on the track, driving these 901s, and the vibration has decreased. Either we misaligned something, over-torqued it, or these are new ones, but the new diff is better balanced, because the differential itself, as far as I understand, is also important.
20:26
Speaker A
Besides, we also installed different shafts, and the quality of the shaft's manufacture, how straight and coaxial it is, all play a role.
20:34
Speaker A
Anyway, Ishna does a fantastic job, I mean, really well. Damn, my respects, this is a case where the time was well spent. I'm not even talking about releasing some video or putting ads in it. We've improved the car. The clutch,
20:51
Speaker A
too, is also the subject of some incomprehensible logic, the damper that so ruins the driving experience. There were so many comments: "I came to test-drive the car before buying it, a Twelve Legend, got in and was shocked by the play and decided against buying
21:09
Speaker A
it." But this seriously affects the perception of the car. Here we are, scratching a hundred. Just put the glass down. Where are the keys? We'll pour some in here now. Okay, so, as I promised at the beginning of the video,
21:21
Speaker A
a classic Legend with an Urban body kit . We've never had anything like this with a classic engine before. We rented the car, it has 50,000 km on the clock, average wear, but, as people say, it's broken in. It rolls well, the dynamics
21:34
Speaker A
are broken in, but in terms of feel, it's comparable to our Legend. So, I think today will be a real battle for the engine. As for the overall impressions, it's a disaster. Firstly, the car is worn out. Secondly, the
21:47
Speaker A
changes we talked about in the first episode are very noticeable. First of all, in terms of noise and ride height.
21:55
Speaker A
Oh, holy, what's this, a mess, the axle is loose. It's probably just the Sunblox.
22:00
Speaker A
The silent blocks are completely gone. And over there, there's no Panhard bar at all. It just loosens up.
22:06
Speaker A
Well, you can feel it. I'm saying this car had a Sport effect, when you drive over all sorts of bumps and the car just plays along. As is traditional for comparison series with the Niva, we went to the area of Mount Inaccessible.
22:20
Speaker A
It's probably definitely inaccessible for these cars today, but you could try driving up to it later at idle, as an option. And now we'll start with small hills. Our goal is to understand, first of all, how the control units are
22:32
Speaker A
configured and, accordingly, how the engines behave. The point of the exercise is that, without gas, like they did on press tours, we try to climb up in cars one by one until the car stalls.
22:55
Speaker A
It really strains until the last and then stalls. Now, one more time. So much for diesel traction. I'm not pushing anything. I'm not pushing anything.
23:24
Speaker A
And it doesn't stall. I know. So, yes, our legend was different. It was somehow exceptional. I'm saying, it was made under 1995, and it was brutal.
23:39
Speaker A
Look. First of all, I went further. You went further. The most important thing is that you didn't stall.
23:44
Speaker A
It doesn't stall. It's like, well, it doesn't matter. It also slips, but it stalls right away.
23:50
Speaker A
No, it starts slipping. It has some kind of hitch there. And it stalls once , it stalls. Let's try again. By chance.
23:58
Speaker A
No, not by chance. What kind of new Niva is this? To rule out self-deception, friends. Look, here it is.
24:15
Speaker A
It stalled. Well, that's how much the rock is, yes. But it keeps going, and strains to the last.
24:22
Speaker A
Let's back up carefully. Well, it stalled because of that rock. Well, it's just amazing. You kind of eat, it's like this, something like that.
24:35
Speaker A
Listen, I think I had unreliable data, because our Niva was too fierce. It wasn't for nothing that it resisted the Sport in terms of dynamics. It wasn't even that much inferior to the Sport there, yes. And it wasn't for nothing that it
24:47
Speaker A
had hills here, it didn't stall at all. I sometimes let off the clutch in the winter, and it goes through such snowdrifts. I like it. That's also fun to drive. Look. Yeah. No, well, it has normal traction, damn. There's some
25:24
Speaker A
kind of ravine there. And that right there. Op. Oh, the rolled grenade is crunching. Well, look, it still allows you to do this nonsense and pulls you to the limit. That is, this is a very good point that allows you to evaluate.
25:51
Speaker A
Let's go. Well, just right for a thin automatic driver at the wheel. Diesel traction doesn't help. It starts so unpleasantly.
26:11
Speaker A
So. And diesel traction. That's it, I'm tired. I've almost driven around, but no miracle happened. When you turn the steering wheel to the extreme angles, it maybe wants to.
26:29
Speaker A
Well, because there's still load from the power steering, but it stalls less often anyway than the other one. It resists to the last. That's it, it stalls.
26:43
Speaker A
Yes, approximately, well, by 5-10%. Well, yes, yes. A colossal difference in these exercises. Not noticed. Strong traction.
26:53
Speaker A
Well, the first obstacle was an indicator. The first one, yes, right here, more or less the same. Well, let's go with another one. And I think we can move on to the track exercises.
27:08
Speaker A
Okay, last try. That's it. What's going on? They don't want to go on inflated tires. Let's get out of here. That's it , we've finished the test. He's already dug up something here. I think I'll get there now and that's it.
27:46
Speaker A
I think it's going a little faster. Who knows, maybe. Well, it went a little further again. Well, it went further either because your tire pressure is different, or the tires are more lively .
28:04
Speaker A
Maybe, there's no other answer. Well, here you didn't stall either. Well, mine didn't stall.
28:13
Speaker A
Well, in short, it turns out we've reached a draw. Yeah, right. Diesel traction. The diesel is stretched.
28:22
Speaker A
Well, roughly, well, from my feeling, it still needs to be a little more lively. Well, just a little, just a little.
28:29
Speaker A
And all this can be leveled out from car to car. It felt like our white Legend was more lively than this Urban, but that's just how it feels. It's in first gear, low gear. If anything, you have to give it some throttle to
28:54
Speaker A
stabilize the car. The locking system is on. They really didn't like the square cup holder. I'm showing you how perfect it is. Look, they just knew, they, you see, made it for this bottle.

Speaker A
It's beautiful, nothing wobbles. See there? That's all. No need to criticize it. That's the thing, we can't really say anything bad about it. Well, as I said, we can't, yes, if we're talking about the Niva, it's gotten much better. If we're talking
30:14
Speaker A
about cars, we're still falling short. But otherwise, well, there's really nothing bad to say. We tried. Well, I recently heard here that this is the cheapest Russian car, and despite that, it has all-wheel drive. Well, in short, according to tests, people, we drove
30:29
Speaker A
this Niva for something like 16-17 seconds. That is, the numbers, well, up to 100 km/h, the numbers are comparable to this one. We probably won't torture the car with acceleration to 100 km/h, but we will check its elasticity again.
30:43
Speaker A
Anyway, the first exercise is from eighty to fifth. What, are you ready? 1 2 3 So, you, Ruslan, need to move. So.
31:20
Speaker A
Well, yes, yes, she's leaving. Yes, she's leaving, we confirm. What about fourth? Okay, let's try fourth. 1 2 3 are you ready? 1 2 3 Well, the same.
32:06
Speaker A
And it looks like Ruslan's weight changes a lot, yes, by the way. But the trim still takes its toll.
32:16
Speaker A
Yes, he understands. Well, let's go from sixty to fourth. 1 2 3 Yeah, it's nose to nose, nose to nose. Well, here I am again leaving after the stop.
32:47
Speaker A
Well, here, you could say, we are practically on equal terms. Yeah. Yeah. Now from eighty.
32:52
Speaker A
Let's go from eighty to fourth. 1 2 3. In short, without a passenger it does affect. Without passengers it really does affect. Ah, because now we are driving almost the same.
33:16
Speaker A
And why are you letting go? Yeah, and 120 is beyond the point. Well, in short, the conclusion is that the difference in Ruslan practically neutralizes the dynamics. If before, when Ruslan was sitting with me, you were driving away quite briskly, then
33:34
Speaker A
now you are just driving away. That is, even without comparative runs, it is impossible to notice this. And I had the same thing and it felt about the same.
33:48
Speaker A
Well, yeah. That's it. Ruslan has 70 kg . In general, how they changed the situation.
33:53
Speaker A
You said a bit far. I am too old. A superstar. I'm a superstar. In short, what can I say, or rather, state? Two dodgy cars, with some very simple work, turned—oh , they turned—a car into a car. It's
34:15
Speaker A
much nicer to drive. It's clear that in 20,000 kilometers, all this will break down, and it will start shaking all over again. But at least when you buy a new car, you want to get that new-car feeling. And this car definitely has
34:28
Speaker A
that. As for the engine, you've seen it all. As I said in the first episode, the difference needs to be examined under a microscope. But still, this car probably has a slight advantage. They say the engine is throttled. How much
34:41
Speaker A
does it have, like, 90 horsepower, to avoid paying excise duty? They say it can be throttled, in theory. It should have 100 horsepower, 10 horsepower, but I don't think that will play a role.
34:51
Speaker A
Those are my conclusions for now. Driving a new car is much more enjoyable than a rental. This is the clear conclusion of this episode. Write your ideas for what we should do in the third episode. Dimon suggests blowing
35:03
Speaker A
up the airbag. Maybe not even by hitting the sensor, but by hitting the car with something. The car is top-notch. I'm seriously considering keeping it for the winter. It's a pleasure to drive, I mean. And not just me. Dimon is already eyeing it too.
35:16
Speaker A
We'll fight over this car. Or we'll buy another one. Yeah, screw it. And we'll take a third one for Ruslan. Okay, that's it. Thanks everyone for watching . See you around.
