I mostly agree with this, but how hard it is to drive is mostly irrelevant. The issue is it’s not competitive. Not sure how to make it so, maybe being more of a challenge would do it, but even if that’s the case if the bottom teams go bankrupt on a regular basis and they never work their way up the ladder then what’s…

Yeah that, and I’ve not once heard “let’s make f1 more womanizing and I’ll watch” or anything of the sort. Has anyone ever heard someone ask for more half naked ladies or something to spice it up? Or I want a driver to tell his wife to do the dishes and cheat on her and I’d totally tune in.. This pc shit is getting…

Honestly you’d probably kill the engine faster. Running around rich and part load isn’t good for an engine. 5th gear in old cars is the engine killer. Then there’s a higher chance of carbon buildup and deposits. You may not want to flog an old car but you definitely want to air it out every now and then. Use it or…

I once put out I fire with a Volvo station wagon, but I maintain that it was safe because it was a Volvo.

When he asks the guy “and your going to assault me” or something to that effect and the guy, already subdued, is like “yeah”... I mean, shit gets out of control, it’s not ok, but really it’s not a big deal in the grand scheme of things if there is no lasting injury. People do stupid shit, it’s not always a reflection…

You should always join forums and communities for your car. You can generally always get advice about shops in your area, and someone will always know the car inside and out and be able to tell you if you are being ripped off or what to expect.

If it does poorly against an F-16 with fuel tanks limiting it to 4 or 5g and giving up it’s ability to take the fight vertical, then it’s going to perform pretty poorly against a missile I would think. I don’t know how well the F-35 performs doing evasive maneuvers but the F-16 has never been hit by one to my…

In my Rx8 they were unshielded on top of the tank and in the run up the engine bay up to the master cylinder area of the bay. On the rx8 forums there are two guys that have had these go up. barring a rear wheel catching fire or parking on grass your generally ok with the tank lines, but hot unshielded aftermarket…

For an rx8 there are no good service departments. You need to find one that had a tech that owns one and is a fanatic. Otherwise you probably know more about the car than they do.

I believe Ford uses those plastic rigid fuel lines, I’m sure they have a technical name, but I’d call them shit. They melt in the blink of an eye. I saw a tow truck go in seconds because it’s exhaust cought some grass on fire in the crack of a driveway. We saw the grass burning under the truck, but even with a fire…

It’s kind of a Franken car. It a vw-Porsche built by karmen. Porsche didn’t consider them real Porsches either, that’s why they refused to put badges on them. I think the 918 is the 914’s redemption though. To be fair to real Porsche owners they usually love the car and tell me at least the engines not in the front…

What I use in my 914 with zinc additive, dropped my head temps 20 degrees. If it’ll last in 100+ temps in an aircooled engine in Texas, then it’s probably good in anything.

Yeah I have a 914. They leak and it’s just the way it is. I will say switching didn’t effect it as much as I was told it would, but it was noticeable. That being the case I’d still recommend it. An aircooled engine is an extreme case but synthetics do a much better job at cooling, so if the leaks aren’t severe, I’d…

I run it in my 914 for the zinc. Brad Penn is what most 914 owners swears by, but the tests I’ve seen don’t back it up. At any rate zinc additive is $6 or $7 so if in doubt throw it in there and use whatever.

That’s a pretty robust engine so if it’s intermittent it’s much more likely that’s an ignition issue. Check coils wires and plugs. Run every electrical system you can simultaneously and it might provoke it.

Mount the phone on the stick. At least they will track straight to keep the phone from jerking out of their hands.

If that’s the criteria I nominate the 914. Huge hit, well loved, and Porsche begrudgingly made it and killed it the first chance they got. They hated it so much it didn’t even get badges.

You could try a high zinc additive for break in or older engines with flat tappets and add it to the oil of your choice. Modern oils don’t have very much do to regulations but small batch companies are allowed to use more. Not knowing what you drive though research it first. Red line is well worth the hassle to order,…

How would the country reach you and inform you there’s a neo Nazi party going on, and why would you want them to?

If they just used one strap the may as well have tried to lift it with knives.
