In a rotary, the prop was fixed to the engine, and the whole engine and prop combo swung around the crank which was fixed to the plane. Often they only had on/off throttles by cutting the ignition. All that rotating mass also allowed certain planes to turn wonderfully in one direction, and horribly in the other.

Clean threads are important! If the bolt encounters premature resistance during reassembly, use of a torque wrench means nothing. After a clutch job, I once torqued my transmission mount to spec, but it would clunk when shifting because I had failed to chase the threads. I had to remove the bolts all over again and do…

Former master tech here. Don’t do that, use a filter wrench. If the screw driver tears through the filter it becomes a disaster realllll fast.

Another benefit of loosening the fill plug first is the component will drain faster. If you were to leave it on it would drain in a glug glug fashion, where big spurts come out, because there’s a vacuum being created. By allowing air to come in through the fill port it creates a smoother flow.

Bored son in law of Kajillionaire takes one of kajillionaires wifeys $100K car after she’s bored with it and makes it art project to boast a socialist to show how “down with the struggle” he is from behind his 8ft tall privately secured walls.....a true man of the people....

Husband here. My wife would kill for this feature. She keeps the heated seats on MAX during the summer. Throw in a foot massager and Volvo will lock-in the 16-99 y.o. affluent female demographic group.

Nissan thinks they can take Honda’s spot in the US market???

They should shutter Chrysler. It's totally redundant with Dodge

It’s illegal to pump your own gas. Even at the race track.

Sergio is so desperate to merge but he forgets a big element:

At this price, if you want a manual, why wouldn't you just buy a cayman instead?

“With the softness of the current 3 Series, we’ve been begging BMW to bring back the Ultimate Driving Machine. The M2 does this, but it doesn’t match the driver-oriented feel of the Cayman S. Mind you, the new flat-four leaves something to be desired. Regardless, since it has a manual, we’d still opt for it over the…

I’m so tired of the glued on iPad look, thank you Audi for hiding the screen so the view and design is uninterrupted and flowing.

I really wanted to like the facelift but I think there is too much happening with new rear. They should keep it simple.

That’s what he said. Perhaps “detune it less” was too hard for you to understand.

I agree. I hate to say it but honestly I think both of Porsche’s sports cars are a little less attractive with their respective facelifts (991.2 and 718).

Time to buy a previous gen Cayman S....

You clearly don’t get it. The only thing it will do better is keep government emissions departments happy. Owners aren’t gonna care that it gets a few mpg better when toddling along on the highway. When using that extra power, it’s going to use more fuel, and that’s fine. I once got 9 mpg on a full tank of gas in my…

That’s what I’m hearing from Porsche owners: a huge amount have no interest in this. Some have even hurried to secure a pre-facelift 981 in order to get the 6-pot, others are cancelling plans to trade in their old Boxsters, and some are planning on buying a used 981 instead of the 982 (=718).

HAHAHA. My 69 mustang sold and shipped to the owner last month or so. It was a great car, but it wont try and kill me in the same ways the AMG will. I custom ordered the AMG GTS last month with the dynamic performance package and the exact paint and interior scheme i wanted. Its scheduled for an April 18 build date.…
