Media-blasting the wheel created an extremely aggressive grit on the rim, which finally got the tire to hold.

People thought the same thing about replacing carbs with fuel injection. Overhead cams... replacing the tried and proven points in a dizzy.

Yes, it's always driven me insane. Jetski's are standups... then kawasaki comes along calls a PWC a jetski. But nobody ever calls it a PWC. It's always jetski, waverunner, or seadoo. I call it a PWC and nobody knows what I am talking about, but it just feels wrong to call, for example, my dads old Polaris XLT750s…

I never suggested the vk56vd did not have VVEL, i said with tuning it could make more power. There is no reason to think a 92mm stroke engine could not rev over 6500 rpm. Same stroke as a LS motors and they have trouble with valvetrain weight. A 92mm engine at 7500rpm would be 75 FPS piston speed, which is pushing…

Or they could just do some work to thier existing 420HP vk56VD engine. I think they leave a lot on the table with that engine. With VVEL you can have super high lift and long duration on top, with ultra small low end cam specs for fuel economy and smog. The vq37 manages about 89.2 HP per liter with VVEL. The 5.6…

"No. The front wheels in an AWD car pull a car through the turn WHILE accelerating."

Thanks, now that we have established that wheels that turn make the car turn, not wheels accelerating. And that you admit that AWD cars CAN out perform RWD, not always do. And when they do it's because they do one thing on the track better.

"Why, yes they do. Read some physics on where the energy to initiate the turn comes from."

"But it's RWD, so only the rear tires drive, meaning that the force for turns is derived only by the front wheels scrubbing speed as they turn in."

I think his point is when you do not have the right of way, it is your responsibility to use the merge area to find a place to merge in. A lot of people (Dallas for sure) think the merge lane is the place to go as fast as possible to get past as many cars as possible before cutting someone off and slamming on the…

To the people that say, oh just let people in. Attempt to merge like a normal human being in heavy traffic? Sure, come on in buddy. When merging on the highway don't speed past 3 openings where you could merge on, to try and get in front of every last person you can, merging only after the lane has ended where a…

I hate when people make thieves out to be a bunch of smart sophisticated people. Sure, there might be a few smart ones out there... but the vast majority are stupid. Thousands of dumb asses prying on and breaking things trying to get into cars over and over. They stumble across certain things that works. Word…

When other people have done LS swaps, they have added 100-200 lbs overall and changed weight distribution from 51% front to 52% front. So... if you think a 4 banger miata gets upset with things like, a passenger, or the top up vs down... it might be ruined. But I bet the car drives just fine. The only issue I see…

Yes... since it's a nissan. And this model is now sold in japan as an infiniti skyline instead of the nissan skyline. And well.... they still make some decent RWD cars, and godzilla.

Yeah.... plugs are about the only EASY thing on the vg30dett. I can do plugs on one in about 30 minutes. Unless you drop a tool... it's a car that you could drop 100 marbles all over the engine bay and maybe 3 would make it to the ground. It's just so full of shit everywhere. Now go pull a turbo.

1995 Cobra R = 351 windsor v8 and 300hp. Not to be confused with the 2000 Cobra R that made 385 on the 5.4L modular engine.

Car needs MOAR EXPOSED FASTENERS!!!

Then 11 days passed, and two deputies showed up at his house in Decatur.

First off.. Mine's Z had brakes, the ABS failed due to oil in the sensors and he locked up off the track. The giant clouds of white smoke means he had brakes : )

Right. We are talking about something ridiculously easy to automate.
