Another vote for a Cayman GTS, because if the EPA is crucifying VW over criteria measured in PPM, you might as well buy the rowdiest v8 german gas guzzler you can-with a manual! Edit: Link got Kinja’d.

Sounds like my buddy Tony’s XJ mudder. Thing is equal parts suspension articulation and body flex.

I’m afraid to find out.

Addressed this in a previous reply. My bad.

I have gotten much better with road rage, but when someone does that to me, it triggers that primordial lizard brain part of me that unleashes a hell storm of high beams, horns, middle fingers, and middle lane flybys. A man can only take so much.

Don’t bash it til you try it.

definitely not article material. Not sure how this reached the front page, from the garage, from Oppo. I guess it comes with the territory here.

Read “Turkish Street Dogs” as slang for hooligans stealing wheels and tires. Did not expect ACTUAL street dogs to maul a car.

Upon further reflection, you are correct. However, the recirculated air does affect metering, which is why if you simply cap the recirc to make it vent to atmosphere you get fuel trim issues. This was what affected the routing in my mind. This would put the MAF issue 100% on an oiled filter or one that let too much…

No. No no no. Just because the title says “airplane” does NOT make this jalopnik material. GTFOH I want car content not political bullshit.

Recirculating blowoff valves reintroduce the blowoff air pre-maf for proper metering, and thats usually how blowby can affect a MAF sensor.

Pretty sure swapping an oil type filter for a dry filter is easier than an engine or turbo rebuild, I think best and worst cases might be reversed ;)

I applaud your nod to vulcanized rubber. I’m just mad that all this competition grade engineering has only become a rich dude’s playtoy. I’d love to see this thing compete in some hillclimbs or time trial events.

I’m not sure you understand physics very well. It has literally everything to do with the difference in turning rotation rate and nothing to do with weight transfer on a daily driven commuter car, which is what this article discusses.

every. single. one.

Just answering your question, even if it might sound like a rant, read it more as a lesson, because not everyone knows the function of a diff. This is extremely unsafe. Think of all the R&D that OEMs put into differential design. It’s a huge point for a reason. If both wheels were capable of turning at the same rate…

Jalopnik seems to have a crisis of conscience. They write articles chastising fairly harmless shit (see: kiteboarding in hurricane matthew, and hurricane matthew hooning articles) then in their next breath teach you how to weld diffs, or better yet, publish the infamous Torch drinks “washer fluid” article. I’m all…

My neighbor dailies a primer grey s-10 with cherry bombs and a welded diff. I always fear hes going to lose it leaving his driveway one rainy day and cream my car. I might be biased, but as a passive observer of a DD with a welded diff, they’re the dumbest shits out there.

Yellow? YELLOW?!
