Many manufacturers will recommend 87 for their non hi performance engines because they dont want to scare off potential customers. Someone buying a V8 Mustang, Camaro, Corvette, etc. is likely more understanding for the need of 91 or 93 octane, but someone buying a commuter car is more likely to be turned away from

It is, but most people’s experience, at least from comments here, with lane splitting involves speeding between the lanes which gives the entire concept a bad image even if it is helpful overall.

Because people want their car TODAY! They want to drive off the lot after signing the papers for that $40k car. They don’t want to have time to change their mind before that car comes in.

The key phrase in that whole statement is “if the motorcyclists do no exceed the speed of other vehicles by more than 15 mph.” I live in a lane splitting is illegal state, and every time I have experienced lane splitters they are doing far more than 15 mpg greater than the speed of traffic. And in almost every

I think there are companies doing that.

From my understanding the biggest, but not necessarily the only, issue with that particular car is that it wasn’t declared on the paperwork. You have to pay taxes on imported goods above a certain value, and since this wasn’t declared the importer had no intentions of paying those taxes.

It must be all the BMW drivers complaining about their car giving them alarms every time they change lanes.

You are correct that the turbo uses the exhaust flow to spin the turbine and that cooler air is more dense. However, you can treat the exhaust flow as somewhat of a fixed mass flow. Given two gas streams of the same mass flow rate the higher temperature stream will be flowing at a higher velocity and carry the greater

For a given mass flow rate of air raising the temperature does decrease the density which means that velocity has to rise to compensate. Having the same mass of gas hit the turbo at a higher velocity can spin it up faster.

It still looks like it’s from 2004.

The V6 car starts at $35,285 which is greater than $33,560.

Perhaps he should switch his allegiance to Ford and try to get a GT. It would be yet another win over Ferrari.

I said nothing about regulations. However, many of the controls and safety systems used in manufacturing today use computers in order to meet regulations. Which is safer? A computer continuously monitoring several hundred rigorously calibrated instruments at once and being able to shut down the system automatically

You have to buy the $35k version of the car to get the 300 hp V which is above the average transaction price for a new car.

That is actually starting to become possible now with cars starting to integrate steer-by-wire systems and brake-by-wire systems on top of the drive-by-wire system for the accelerator pedal.

That means we will go back to the days of major safety and environmental incidents being the norm...

I must be clinically insane to go out and specifically do a factory production order on my car to ensure that I got an orange one.

Even the chemical solutions are only used to clean the crap off. They don’t do anything to prevent it from happening again. I also use the steel brushes because they get it right off with no fuss.

Even if the clamp is made of the same material you will still need an interface to the copper wire unless you want to change out all of the wiring as well.

There are a lot of diesel owners that dont care about pollution.
