I think that’s is how mine started. The noise kept getting gradually worse until it sounded like there was ground up stone inside the rack whenever you turned the wheel at low speed. It got to the point where the wheel wouldn’t return to center without my assist. It was always the worst at low speeds where the assist…

I wasn’t. It is my personally owned vehicle.

I drive a 33k mile Ford Police Interceptor Utility and got a letter in the mail earlier this week about this and also about inspecting the electric power steering.

Wow, this was a great read! The amount of fancy engineering in this car looks damn impressive and it will be interesting to see what kind of performance and comfort levels the new Cayenne will be able to attain.

And don’t forget about sacrificing a live chicken!

My Sinister-Performance-built ‘88GT 3800-turbo Fiero sold for less than 10k. Finding the right buyer for modded Fieros is tough. The current owner of my car is really happy with it and at least stays in contact with me.

I would drive the shit out of a rotary-minibus!

To me, the Dodge Daytona is the most rear-wheel-drive-looking front-wheel-drive car.

Wow, and I thought the FD RX7's rats-nest was bad...

Any time I see the term “Buy Here. Pay Here” I automatically assume that nothing good can come of a vehicle from there. Especially luxury import vehicles.

I know of an auto crossing region that rents a rental car for the last event of the year and proceeds to have a runoff between all the class-winners of the season.

Wow, that looks like an amazing day! I would love to drive so may different rotaries back-to-back!

I’m not gonna lie, I LOVED that moved when I was a kid. I dreamed of whipping around on a pommelhorse landing badass kicks on anyone who got too close.

I’m going to say yes. At least you can design a rotor to physically compress the air to whatever ratios they are running in the new ignition engine. BUT, can they design seals, both side and Apex, that can hold that compression in? (I’ll leave the boost/Apex seals jokes to everyone else) With the advances in machining…

Now I’m an unapologetic rotary fanboy and I hope to see another rotary-powered Mazda someday, but in all honesty, I’m not holding out hope.

Well, I did, but it was on a 500+ hp Fiero. All I can say is that the rears weren’t grippy enough to handle street duty on the rear. I had to switch to Nitto drag radials. The fronts handled 40+ quarter mile passes just fine, lol.

This is from a couple of people who work for Sumitomo (Falken, Dunlop, Sumitomo and other brands are the same company nowadays), the rt615+ is the same compound as the Dunlop star-specs whereas they were their own compound previously. Judging by how mine are wearing, and where they are time-wise compared to the RE71's…

Actually, no. I read the tires wrong. My tires are the slower tires. I wanted to edit it, but it was already too late.

Heh, I run those ‘track tire’ Dunlops as my street tire on my RX8. My Autocross tires are Falken RT615k+’s and there is a glaring level of performance difference between them (albeit my Falkens are 255's on a 17" rim while the Dunlops are 245's on a heavier 18")

LOL, dude, the thing is freaking 5400lbs! I don’t think the term ‘weight savings’was ever muttered once during the engineering process. But hey, when you have 707hp/645ftlbs, you probably aren’t that concerned about how much weight you have to move around.
