I worked in engineering for 10 years on an assembly line. What most people don't realize about car manufacturers is that they almost exclusively assemble parts bought from suppliers, and they all have a finite choice of suppliers. That includes engine blocks in most cases (ok high end cars might be different there). No car manufacturer is making bodywork, machining engine blocks, cam shafts, gearboxes, electronic components, cutting glass, molding plastics etc. It would be impossible. They just order from suppliers and put it all together. That's just what manufacturing is. 😂

There is one particularly egregious case of parts bin sharing, and it's the first generation, pre-facelift, Land Rover Discovery. The headlights were from a Freight Rover Sherpa, the taillights were from an Austin Maestro Van, the chassis, door frames, and even most of the glass was from a first generation Range Rover, as were the axles, transfer case and the manual gearbox. A lot of the switchgear was from an Austin Montego, the door handles were from a Morris Marina, the heater vents from an Austin Metro. Even the V8 petrol was from the Range Rover, albeit earlier versions. The only new things were the bodywork outer skins, the roof and taildoor, some of the trim, and the 200 Tdi engine. In fact, the parts-bin sharing was done on such a cheap level, a lot of components still had the branding from the vehicle they were taken from!

I remember developing a system for a parts supplier in the UK to upload parts onto their eBay shop - so many parts compatible with so many cars.. I think there was a couple of starters that applied to something like 27 different car models from 9 different manufacturers... But it's not a new thing, my Dad's '81 G Wagon needed a new starter £415 from Mercedes or £115 from Bosch (just without a tiny 3 pointed star...)

Honestly, I drove a Dodge caliber and it's actually a pretty good car for it's purpose. Crazy to think it could've been a rebadged evo. And I never knew people hated on the evo X. It doesn't hold up to the legendary status previous gens had, but is it really that bad?

@rongchangwang 10 ай бұрын

15 EVO X owners here; I could say almost all of the EVO owners who I know, no matter which generation, never hated the X. After all, the S-AWC system on the X is so ahead of its time and handles so sharp even today. There are enough 1000hp+ 4B11T out there to prove its worth. 99% of the people who hate the X never owned or even drove them. Look at the new VAB WRX and the VA STI people even hated them for having the old EJ and not changing them; guess what? Now even the STI is dead and they all run off to buy a Toyota Zupra(funny they hated it for being a BMW as well). People will always hate whatever they gonna hate. And in 20 years, all the gasoline JDM cars will be gone, so what cars will they hate then? And given how much markup the local dealership demands on the FL5 CTR and GR Corolla, making them a $65K+ OTD car. I will happily hold my EVO (now standing at 36K miles) till the world's end.

Learned a lot about this through Mat Armstrong. He’s been able to save a ton of money by just getting the generic parts shared by multiple companies 🤙

Don’t know if it’s been mentioned yet but a very interesting one is the Mclaren F1 recycling mirrors from the VW Corrado. S2 Lotus Elise also using same brake pads as R32 GTR and 2nd gen Dodge Viper.

@@ryugatsuchiya9018 Find a good mechanic shop and work there at least a year on the cheep. They probably won’t pay you much, but you can learn as you take on new tasks.

@@ryugatsuchiya9018 What Jeepdude said is correct. You can also team up with individuals working on projects. Like I am working on resto-modding a rare car right now, and you would learn a TON of stuff that would make you look pretty competent walking up to your first garage for a job.

Companies that make buses and RVs are big parts bins fans, too. I've seen headlights and tail lights from random cars like say, a 94 Golf. Kinda fun to look at them and notice what car they're from

I had a 2008 Volvo C30 back in the day, awesome hatchback! Busted a shock absorber and decided to run the part number in the web. I ended finding out the Mazda 5 used the same part for a third of the price. Also a friend of mine in Spain had a 2014 Range Rover Evoque Diesel with a damaged turbo cooler. We ended up finding out it shared the engine with a small Ford delivery wagon only available in Europe. He got it more than 3 times off the Range Rover price. Finally all the McLaren Supercars use a Nissan VRH35L racing engine redesigned by Ricardo PLC that uses Nissan Sentra's coils and Mitsubishi turbos. 20 bucks for the Sentra coils against 250 bucks at the McLaren website.🤦🏽‍♂️

Always Google the part number. You'll be surprised at what else uses the same part and how much cheaper you can get it by going to another brands parts desk.
