the gap between the cones was large enough to “cause confusion.”

The higher torque will mean you’re further down the road at 5 seconds.. That means passing power, the entire reason I’d hypothetically buy one of these puppies.

He wants a Honda Odyssey.

Isn’t this the same cx75 that had the micro-turbine electric generators? It’s the best idea for hybrid power in a long time and nobody seems to notice it.

Exactly.. I had the chance to get one from ladyada the day they were released, but was shocked that the $5 board required at least an additional $9.xx for shipping. That destroys the purpose of the “low cost” concept.

It’s nice to be appriciated, I don’t comment often, ever since the greys came back. You seemed like you actually wanted to know though, so wabam!

Lots of pluses: less chance at foreign object damage ingestion on the ground.. Lower total airframe height making the landing gear MUCH lighter.. The rear offset offers better area-ruling as speeds increase, lowering drag and increasing range. But those are just the top few.

I love that they’re only $50 a piece.

You know the drivers side is pointed lower in the US, right? So the comparison isn’t really apples to apples when you’re looking at throw distance. Legally the drivers side is pointed down xx degrees to negate the blinding effect on other drivers.

Exactly, I came here to say the same thing.

It definitely can! Before I had saved up for real jackstands I’d put the donut under the side by the jack just in case... One day the jack collapsed while I was under the car and it fell within a 1/4 inch of my face. I bought jackstands that same day and have had them since!

Awe! Golly-gee, thanks!

Same here! That’s the best part about Jezebel, it informs! Now if only I wasn’t a grey. Lol

The 77% stat is all women nationwide vs. all men nationwide. It’s hugely misleading considering it doesn’t control for major issues like hours worked, or job type.

Is that a crown Vic windshield I spy?

Well there you go, this is about as far from near new as you could get. Chassis has 220,000+ with 12,000ish on the swap. It’s a major work in progress. I’m removing years worth of collective shoddy maintainace seemingly every day. This is no trailer queen. Lol

Is that what they’re actually going for these days? I’ve got #rough one sitting in the driveway as we speak. *with* a caldina 3s-gte from ‘02.

When I lived in Illinois, there wasn't smog testing on cars older than 1996(pre obdii). Months after doing a JDM high horsepower 3s-gte swap on my 91' celica alltrac, I moved to Texas. Where they test and look out for that. I couldn't get the car registered without a vehicle inspection, and ended up paying somebody…

It's the A-B-Cs, Always, Be, Trolling.

2 words, research engineers. It's crazy expensive to fund and build small run cars like this, nearly the same as the r&d for a small f1 team. I'm an aerospace engineer, believe me.
