    Proper engine break-in question.

    If you don't know don't post..... :nono: That "mono grade crap" IS what you want when you break in an engine as it has NO friction modifiers or Viscosity index improver so 5qt's of it IS oil not 4Qt's and 1 Qt of "gloop"... 9 times out of 10 a rebuilt Mk3 is in NO condition for a hard...

    Injector Current Draw

    Just checked an old MoTeC PDM file I used last time and I had 8x Inj and 8x Ign on the one 20a output, I had the maximum current set to 14a, this was using 730cc injectors sequential and the LSx Coils in batch fire mode, I would have at the time tested the actual current draw before setting the...

    weekly car debate thread.

    Would :love: a 67 Camaro, having said that none of the recent incarnations do it for me other than a Vette, this is due to the pedestrian friendly regs raising the waistlines and general bloat in new cars. (I mean WTF if people are fucking stupid enough to get hit by a car they need to be...

    Be an idea to post a rough budget and skill level as this will often be a deciding factor.

    I need new shocks

    How did you come to this assumption? If you're strapped for cash it'd be smarter to grab 4 of the cheap shocks and have a balanced car than half assing it...

    What are good brakes

    Who said anything about selfadjusting?? I'm well aware how square cut seals work, again try reading what I posted and NOT just spouting of 2nd hand knowledge. Actually we've been down this road many times in the past, try building something that stays together for longer than 5 minutes and...

    What are good brakes

    Yes pads expand when hot as do rotors but a PAD doesn't deform and compress into the slots and this is the only way it can "CUT" and that's what is being debated here.. NO slots do not reduce pad life FFS I did this shit for a living when I was younger. Without a leading edge it's NOT going...

    What are good brakes

    NO no it's doesn't "CUT" at all.... :nono: For it to "cut" either the pad would need to deform as it passed over the slot trimming it or the slot would need a back relief which it doesn't have, I don't understand why you're not getting this... If it were cutting at all Pad life would be...

    What are good brakes

    Ever sharpened a drill bit? If the cutting edge doesn't have a back relief it doesn't cut it just rubs no matter how sharp the edge... same deal on a slot there's no relief so it can't cut.

    Hitting a brick wall at 50 vs another car at 50

    I watched the same episode and the numbers came out as Backlash stated. Two cars crashing into each other at 50 mph will result in the same damage (for each car) as a single car hitting a wall at 50 mph. confirmed In their small scale tests, the Mythbusters compressed clay at 1x and 2x...

    Center floor brace

    We've discussed this before at length, I don't see WTF the Doluck bars are actually meant to do, they're right up there with front and rear strut bars in uselessness... That Miata Brace is better, I thought about building an internal structure under the seats with a section bridging the...

    What are good brakes

    Have a look at a high milage/hard use Porsche with drilled rotors, it will have cracks and Porsche don't buy their Discs from Napa.... :nono: (or most any race car the day before an inspection where they replace them)
