California. You could probibly register a kit car and get a vin there, but it would likely require passing smog, carb, and 1000 other things. Other places... A circle track car with some trailer lights glued on would be fine.

Kit cars have nothing to do with “based” on something. Kit car implies home built car, and as an individual, not a manufacturer, you can register it (in states that allow it, every state that I have lived in) with only basic standards of things like... It has lights and a horn. And they issue you a vin.

You are cracking me up man, with this “we are not talking about the same level of cornering.” you are right. We are not talking about a civic running, what? Looks like about a 1:42 at Shenandoah. Anywho, good luck to you sir.

Curiouswhat your driving, as I too have spent a lot of time on the track, stock and heavily modified, and certainly exploring the limits of traction. With most rwd cars coming with staggered wider rear tires, large front sway bars with nearly non-existent rear bars, and a front weight bias.... It usually takes some…

You said it doesn’t matter what car you drive... But, not all cars oversteer on lift. In general lift will increase front grip and reduce rear, but if, for example, it understeers at neutral front / rear balance, rwd - it can oversteer under power and return to under steer on lift, yet turn in harder due to more front…

Bah. I’m a procrastinator and I run my vehicles past warning light on almost every tank, and have been doing so for 17 years. Never have ran out of gas, never had a fuel pump failure, clogged fuel filter, clogged injector, etc. In your typical fuel injected car... Fuel pickup doesn’t, move, has a sock filter. Its…

The people that make the v8 is Hartley, I seem to recall some sort of relationship with them and do cars. But yes.... Busa based flat plane v8.

Detonation. They should have used port nitrous injection for even flow, with multiple stages and ignition regard and it could have taken more. They didn’t answer much.

Yeah, but that’s because there is no clear winner. As soon as someone comes up with something that stomps lithium ion, in price, weight, and density.... It will get that 500million invested. Current situation might slow things down... But when something emerges, funds will migrate.

You can get old school buses for dirt cheap. I have always envisioned getting one to turn into a car hauler.

Are we really complaining that the first decent electric family sedan only ties the quickest production 2 seat sports car ever made, and does so at a lower price? I find it mind blowing. Props to them for nailing it.

“Most good coilovers that replace say, a strut, will have ride height and pre-load adjustments seperately.”

“The cylinders are generally threaded like giant bolts, allowing you to screw-down the spring to adjust the ride height.”

The dual clutch has the clutch for the next gear up and down disengaged, but has to select one or the other prior, using logic it can guess, but it can’t be ‘ready’ for both at the same time. A 3 clutch would presumably have every 3rd gear and be ready for any next gear up or down instantly or a skipped gear with…

Soak in vinegar overnight, put it back togeather with new bearings. If it breaks a tooth off down the road, you will know by the click click sound.

Einstein would beg to differ.

Who else got the kieth code reference. Just a twist of the wrist.

You talk about front independent suspention like it’s a weak spot. A soild front axle would be a crime. Can you even get a solid front axle on anything other than a jeep in the states? Drive a wangler on the road much? News flash, you don’t sacrifice what’s good 99.9% of the time to improve on the .1%. In other news,…

Junkyard wars would have been cool if it wasn’t fake. They don’t produce that anymore do they? At the least, parts were planted and professionals checked and sured up thier work.

Just looks like an open diff to me. In one shot the wheel in frame spins, in most, the wheel in frame does not. Pro tip. If you have an open diff and do a burn out in a water box. Always do a second after the box. Then the cold wet one will spin. In most cases he heated one tire, and smoked the wet one on launch.
