It's right in the link that you sent: First and foremost, this isn't a loan. You're putting the bike on a credit card. After the initial 3 year $99 payments, they are going to nail you with a 22.99% rate and a regular payment. That will likely be between $100 to $150 a month. If you...

Remember, this is a man who talks about poverty and the atrocity of starving people, yet he himself eats off of gold plates. This is a man who talks about how the greedy rich nations are responsible for the horrible death toll in Africa, but he himself supresses the availability of condoms and...

Poor people tend to stay poor because they keep doing the things that make them poor. You may want to rethink your actions.

No. As shaeff said, turn the ignition switch to on. In the diagnostic block under the hood, jumper B+ and FP. Listen to the fuel rail, can you hear fuel running through it?

To each his own. As long as they don't try to make it law and enforce it on me, they are welcome to whatever they want to believe. Personally I think the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster probably has it close to right...

The only bad side is prices tend to go down over time for parts. Think about how expensive forged pistons were for these cars 5 years ago. Why not just save the money over the same time period (hell, maybe even in a bank earning interest) and just buy it all at once (probably getting a better...

Actually it's the same bottom end, but the heads are completely different. Both Bentley and McLaren use this motor, but with 48 valve heads (4 valves per cylinder). The motor is designated the S70 by BMW. The variant offered in the BMW 850 only put down 380 hp, which when you consider this was...

Most of the aftermarket electronics in the car will probably all be fried. (Radio, aftermarket fuel computers, turbo timer, etc...) Most of the factory systems have a chance of surviving due to the fusible links under the hood. As mentioned, check those first. If you've replaced them all, and...

I guess in the end it amounts to the same thing however. You put bigger wheels in them, they (in my experience) 'tend' not to last.

No shit. I stand corrected. Jon definitely knows more about this turbo than I. However I stand by the remainder of the post. Whatever the reasons for the turbo's limits, it's limited and you can't make "real" power on one. You certainly won't outflow the stock manifold with it.

I get beaten in "races" all the time... I'm not racing however, just the other car is... If you beat a MKIV TT with a stock turbo 7M running 7 psi the MKIV wasn't racing. At 7 psi you aren't leveraging your mods at all. You're a 230 hp 3,600 lb car. The entire point of all your other mods is...

lol - I missed that.

That's called a blown engine. Rods, bearings, something in the reciprocating mass is screwed. No matter what it is, you need to pull the engine and examine the internals.

Well "garbage" might be a bit too strong of a term. It's "severely limited". The turbo is only good for about 16 psi on our motors before you are overspinning it. It's generally accepted that it's undersized for it's original application to start with. At 16 psi the tend to not last long...

Way to go there Emily...
