Try to use a set of tires every month. Don’t do anything to the car, it’s fine.

Chill out people. The ground is wet, metal ramps that have probably seen too many miles, mustang. The reason he was trying to keep his momentum up is because the car was slipping the rear tires the times previous. He tried to carry more speed, encountered wheel slip and the road crown handled the rest.

My personal definition is that when you hold the vehicle at a slip angle beyond the amount of steering lock you have, you are drifting. Any time you are operating within the steering lock limits and have positive slip angle, you are power sliding. When trying to drive with a high percentage of four wheel drifts,…

Hence the beauty in what Hamilton does with social media. Granted being a repeat champion helps but the majority of drivers don’t use their platform properly. Having access to millions of people around the globe and being quiet is not a good use of resources. Lewis doesn’t have an issue catering to so many…

If you’re just drifting for fun, welded is the way to go. Most people can read a text book but if you haven’t actually welded a diff and driven on it for years, your opinion is regurgitated information that someone else did the work to find out and you don’t really know. There are wrong ways to do it and not as…

How do you build something like that and not have ONE friend with a remotely decent trailer? I actually like the car because in my mind I see it with finished fenders and nice paint sitting at a cool kids car show. Definitely needs an equally ridiculous rear diffuser with vortex generators and shit.

In their infinite wisdom, Australia has pretty much booted the entire auto industry from their country so this act makes sense. I’ve met a couple guys that were fortunate enough to transfer to different departments in their companies and relocate but the picture they paint of engineers leaving Australia to find work…

Well thats just going too damn far. If you show up to an autocross with a full Ferrari team and a damn FXX, people will be offering you hand jobs just to hear that thing scream through some cones.

Nah it was driver error. The gradual transition from sidewalk maybe 4-6 inches high down to the entry point of a parking lot was my indicator in the Tacoma that I had the rear tire on the apex haha! In the Prius I guess I went over the apex instead of touching the outside and that was enough to pinch the sidewall. It…

No way, I have a Prius C and an SC300TT. I do miss my single cab 4cyl manual Tacoma though. There is an added level of carelessness that comes with only a few inches of ground clearance that makes navigating city landscapes so much easier. It only took me two weeks after the transition from the Tacoma to the Prius to…

Driving over curbs and parking barriers.

That is why you still need traditional style braking systems. If it takes 5 miles to overheat your brakes normally, running a regenerative system may extend that to 7 or so. Forgive me for trying to compare a Prius but when driven the way they are designed, the need for hydraulic braking is severely reduced. In an…

Ready for hybrid trucks yet? This seems like a huge motivator to have regenerative braking reducing strain on a friction based system.

Those cars were intended for two different purposes. The Singer is not meant for someone who can only have one car. The Singer was meant to be automotive art and personally I think they achieved that with near perfect success. I say near perfect because science, not like “I could do better” near perfect.

Depends on purpose. For most motorsports, once you’re out of first you never go back unless you return to the pits. The E30 setup reduces the chances of accidentally finding reverse in those situations. I’m also assuming that when you are starting, you have time to properly engage the first gear without error like on…

Why would I click on something so stupid? I get it, it was supposed to be funny. Would have actually held my interest long enough to click if they chose the ATS-V.

Every time I see flip flops on bikes I think of my friend that introduced me to the world of “de-gloving.” If I don’t feel like putting my gear on, I don’t feel like riding, plain and simple.

Thats the point

Well, Canada, that decision wasn’t very smart was it? 10.8 billion is more than enough to start your own damn company, Elon did it with less.
