google what settling with power is.

They don’t seem organized about it, but jalopnik, R&T, C&D.. they do run races. I see the R&T guys at races a lot. They don’t seem organized enough to have a company car and team.

I have one of these from their kickstarter. Kinda cool. There are a dozen on amazon for less $ though.

wow, the tubo adds 400+ lbs?

e46 BMW - you could pickup a 330 for about that much.

I thought the alcantara steering wheels on the e46 were very likely to rip? Most comments I see about them say stay away, because they won’t last very long.

lets say there are 2 tax brackets. up to 50k is 25%, 50k+ is 50%.

People are uneducated about tax brackets. Like when someone says that making an extra dollar can cost them a lot more in taxes, because it would push them into a higher tax bracket. No, that’s not how it works.

These work great for a desktop computer. Mount the speaker on top of the monitor.

no, it does not waste fuel. I’ve connected my oscilloscope to the fuel injector wires (while debugging an ECU issue), and when the engine is being spun by the wheels during engine braking, or after you rev the engine and let it return to idle, the fuel injector pulses stop until the engine goes back to idle speed.…

also heat. 1 liter of 70 degree air in, is not 1 Liter of 200degree air on the way out.

Yup. I had some electrical issues with my 80's bmw which uses one of the first versions of fuel injection (motronic 1.3). I had the fuel injectors on my oscilloscope and when the engine is revved up and allowed to return to idle, the fuel injector pulses stop. Same happens with engine braking. The fuel injectors do…

How do you deal with more than one of these with an Echo?

I generally agree with this, unless it’s some sort of museum piece. If you have a 1 of <10 car that future generations will want to see, you should at least keep it clean and safe. Drive it, and drive it hard (mechanical items can be fixed), but don’t street park it in NYC.

I drove one of these through college/post college. Great car. everyone who sat in it made commments about the dash. I roasted so many tires doing FWD burnouts with that car. Only one wheel at a time though :P

Does Jalopnik have a higher rate of crashing press cars than other ‘news’ organizations? I suppose Patrick can’t really get all that mad...

Truth. my car got flipped to use imperial gallons once. My MPG’s were crazy high.

I was recently hit while stopped in traffic. Busted rear tail light, wrecked bumper. $6500 in damage, and it took a month to fix. add in rental car fees and it was closer to $8k. This car is MUCH MUCH MUCH worse. I bet they total it.

They look like they were added on just for this stunt.

I wonder if he has insurance. I don’t have insurance on my race car, and didn’t even think it was a thing to do.
