They’ll fill up the cars a drop at a time to make you feel like you’re getting the real 8 hour electric experience.

Edit: This is the link to the twin engine golf. It’s pretty picture heavy.

There’s a pretty epic thread on Vortex about a guy who took a MKIII golf and put one VR6T in the front and one in the back for about 1600hp. Two years later he’s finally getting the kinks sorted out and getting to the track.

I voted NP even though this particular model isn’t the one I’d buy. It’s amazing that you can get a clean Audi TT for less than an R32 now!

The MKIV GTI was the first car that made me think “When I grow up that’s the car I want to drive to work every day” I was 15 when the 06 came out, so it was right as I was going into high school and having fun contemplating what car I’d get when I graduated and got a “real job” the curves on that hatch, the tartan…

I’m pretty sure NHRA says that if you’re using heavier(cheaper) mild steel tubing that it’s allowed to be MIG welded. If you’re using chromoly steel it has to be TIG welded.

When Metallica found out which fans were pirating music, they sued them. When Iron Maiden found out which fans were pirating their music they painted up a custom 747 a planned a Central/South America tour.

I can’t believe somebody posted a Chevy SS as an affordable family car.

So this’ll probably get lost in the mess of comments.
My dad has the Triumph Tiger Explorer, and it’s his all arounder.

To be fair there is a similar example in aviation. The airbus is a flying computer, and when something goes wrong, one of the first troubleshooting steps is to switch out a computer box. Some of those boxes costing into low six figures.
It isn’t inconceivable that an electric module might fail before the rest of the…

A timely article. My transmission in my 94 civic is going out. But I love the car more than any car I’ve test driven recently. I picked up a new tranny for less than one month’s insurance payment. I can drop a few grand into overhauling a backup engine and it still makes more financial sense than buying a new car.

As a newbie considering a used Buell Xb9, it’s nice to hear that they’re coming back to life, even temporarily.

The rally version with the tailpipe catalytic converter might throw a few flames if it’s tuned properly, and I’m sure that after being flogged at the track a few times that the Italian quirks would start shining through.

16 tankers equal the emissions of all road going cars. This is simply an attempt to justify the EPA’s continued existence by trying to stay relevant.

My big issue is that everything is trying to be long, low, and sleek, and absolutely terrible to use or see out of.
The 95 Integra was all of those things, except the hood was long so that you could actually reach everything in the engine bay. It was low but you could actually see out of the damn thing. And…

I kind of forgot about this thread.
There’s a video on YouTube about Rolls Royce building their Trent engines. It’s definitely worth the watch. It expounds a little on just how intensive the turbine engine building process is.

You’re absolutely correct in saying that it’s just a greater precision version of what’s done…

This will probably get lost in the slew of comments. I’d like to point out that even in certain union jobs you still only get a half hour of unpaid lunch. I’m an airplane mechanic and we get a half hour, which also adds a half hour to how long you have to be clocked in for.
On the plus side we get to radio the control…

I just took one of these apart for class. It’s amazing how simple and complex they are at the same time. The design is wonderful, amazing power for the size and turbine count.

The amount of engineering that goes into each engine is incredible. Each blade on the turbine disk is harmonically balanced to ensure that the…
