good thing my pvr recorded everything!

i need to watch f1 more often. Wow

All I gotta say is that Tercel seems in otherwise mint condition. Kudos to the owner.

I know right?

Same reason we call em rednecks? Too inbred to do any better? I kid I kid.

Okay I chuckled.

This Mustang owner isn't amused :(

The S Cup packs the same aero kit as the race car, only here Lotus engineers were kind enough to add headlamps. It can also be retrofitted for an electric kill switch, as well as a fire extinguisher in case any Ferraris show up to your next track day too. (That was a joke, son.)

See my solution to the whole clutch abuse is to use gentle baby steps in my teaching approach. Unlike a LOT of people who try to teach manual, I don't just tell the guy: "alright try to take off and putter along around the block".

You know, if it happened to me, I'd be angry yes. Angry and sad enough to storm out. Maybe even bitch out the people involved but I would NEVER get violent. And, after I calmed down and preferably the next day, I would sit down and have a conversation with my partner to find out what went wrong and what pushed her to…

And that's why MMAs arent true Martial Arts. True martial arts are about self-defence, discipline, compassion and avoiding conflict until backed into a corner. We have a local MMA "school" in my town and my girlfriend knows a few people who are into those. All of em are douche-bros and NOTHING like the typical person…

What the f*ck ever happened to simply discussing verbally with your partner about what you would like to include and exclude in an open relationship? I can understand, in the context of a purely sexual open relationship, wanting for the actual couple to prioritize each other, because they are actually a couple, but it…

You know what? I'm calling the early-mid 2000s the second coming of the malaise era and making it official.

You could apply this to 12Valve as well who seems to enjoy discrediting my choice of a 3-seater jetski over his prefered stand-up models and attempting(and failing) to mock me for finding my first experience in a high-powered model terrifying because he equates them to couches. Sigh, different people have different…

if they can pull that off it will be delicious. Combined with how freely that engine revs because of the lightweight internals, people will love it.

you're just looking at peak numbers and ignoring the peak picture, like powerbands. If the honda engines making the same amount of power as that renault engine are any indication then said renault would have almost no usable torque in lower, city-driving RPMs and you have to flog it way up high to get into the…

could be fun, but the K20 engines aren't designed to be bolted to a rwd transmission.

yeah but the old engines in the NA and NB were low-torque anemic engines. They might not need to tweak the gear ratios all that much in the new Miata compared to the 3 because in the latter they, with the exception of first off the line, do a good job of getting the car going with decent power.

even if the 2.5 kept it's regular 184hp and 185 ft-lbs it still gives it a power to weight ratio of a hair under 12lbs/hp in the new miata. That puts it close to current Mustang V6 territory and absolutely creams the frs/brz twins in that regard. Plus both skyactiv G engines have lightened and forged internals so they…

hah if they could pull that off on street gas i'd be impressed. That 18:1 figure is probably for the diesel variants if i remember correctly. Even ferrari requires premium fuel for any of their engines that have a LOWER compression ratio than the new skyactive G 2.0. For perspective: the Coyote 5.0 has a CR of…
