You left out the part saying that everyone was OK. Accidents are cool to watch and all, but I really hope that everyone was OK. maybe an article on safety gear and how it saved their ass in this situation. looks like the 911 driver was wearing a HANS. How about the Miata? I bet that Miata driver has a huge headache,…

especially in an old car with no ABS. you can see the Porsche swerve the wheel, but the tires locked up and nothing happened.

I bet in that drivers mind, the time between when he got in the accident and when he called in on the radio was a minute. In reality it was about a second. adrenaline is a crazy thing.

Swapped the engine in my BMW m635csi with a newer more powerful M30 engine. Should be easy, I had pulled the engine from another 635csi! Engine would run, but would stall and drop out. Multiple mechanics worked with me to diagnose, multiple scope’s connected at the same time monitoring all the ECU signals. Tried…

I saw him in ‘02? they came on after linkin park, and all the little kiddies cleared out, so we could get close to the stage. I always liked STP, but seeing them in concert, even years after they were big. WOW. Scott owned that crowd. Wow. Also learned that day how they made teh sound for dead &bloated - using a…

I count potholes as hitting something.

Sure, after you replace parts, you’ll need an alignment. But every time you get a new set of tires (which might be every 20-30k miles)? That seems a bit excessive and just a way to get some money from you. I got an alignment on my old car, and it was SO messed up I had to bring it back to get them to fix it. The…

Pot holes will do it. I usually wear my tires out from abuse long before an alignment would matter. They always want to do a 4 wheel alignment too, but for most cars the rear tires can’t be adjusted. It’s a money grab.

They are HUGE! and tiny on the inside. probably factored into why they didn’t sell that many.

Why do they need a wheel alignment? If you don’t hit things, you should never need an alignment.

Haha, I’m wearing those exact shoes right now. I see you also shop at DSW.

Should have used GT-R powered, Dual Control Infiniti Q50

If you have the right sized screw, you can do that. On the toyota I worked on, the bolt that holds the caliper on can also be used to pop the rotor off. Problem is, in that case, you have to get the screw out first. The hole is useful. The screw that goes in it is a nightmare.

Steering wheel controls for the radio, on the right side of the steering wheel.

I recently built a badass PC, but haven’t gotten a video card yet(onboard video works fine for me so far)

Maybe he should have jumped out of the way, rather than throw bullets at it. Cars don’t magically stop if you shoot at them.

No. Even at the track, they still have to pump the gas for you. They will also only pump into red containers. You can then dump that gas into a white container right in front of them, and it’s OK. Stupid Jersey.

my swap was for a race car(chump,lemons,AER). Putting in some fancy euro spec motor or the M6 motor would have been very expensive, and would have moved us from ‘slightly cheaty’ to ‘hella cheaty’.

Hm. I did the swap last winter on an e24, but I did use an e24 M30B35 as the replacement. I used a wiring harness adapter, and it was fairly simple. I’m still not sure how I managed to blow up 2 ECU’s though. That was a pain.

I’m glad mine hasn’t blown up yet, but I have a spare just in case. I think it’s fairly common for people to swap back to a normal brake booster. Did BMW use it as a marketing tool? “Now with Nitrogen Ball Technology!!” I think brake bomb sounds cooler though.
