some texas redneck posted:The original owner of my F-150 had installed their version of an anti theft system - a switch under the dash that cut power to the coil. Back when I was in high school, I was following my parents to a car show. Back then we had a really clean 66 Deluxe bus that we took to shows. They were driving from Houston up to the Ennis show and I was in their f150 basically as a safety vehicle cause the bus was slow as poo poo. It had a stinger on it with baffle, but the only thing that held the baffle in was a single bolt, and as we were pulling off the highway and heading up an incline, my dad got on the gas and the bus blew its load. It was one of the most hilarious things I have ever seen to just see a stinger shoot out its baffle right at the truck I was driving. I had to pull over and go grab that hot rear end bastard.

Geirskogul posted:When I kill my Enfield motorcycle with the killswitch instead of hitting the carb fuel, five to ten seconds after I turn it off there is a massive, deep "BWOOMP/BANG" combo inside the echo chamber exhaust pipe. our Kohler powered Husky ride on does that too- If you roar into the shed with it at full noise, drop it to idle and shut it down, it will give you JUST enough time to take your ear muffs off before making you think you blew a loving wall off the shed with the boom from the exhaust. Ride in at idle and it all quiet, but theres no fun in that.

I'm not even talking about the backfire......I'm talking about not letting it cool down at idle for a few minutes before shutting it down.

Air has to be flowing over the motor for good cooling. Letting an air cooled motor just sit there and idle is a bad thing, too. I don't call it "warming the engine up," if you do it for more than 5 minutes; I call it "smelting."

If we're talking about lawn mowers and things of that sort, they never really have much more ait flowing over them than the crank fan provides regardless. So sitting still or moving makes no measurable difference. I'm also not talking about letting it sit for a half an hour. I'm talking 2 or 3 minutes here, rather than going form full load to off in a matter of 30 seconds.

I'd love to LeMons a 16V DOHC Lanos hatchback, but they are pretty rare in 5 speed form. That might be a decent car compared to, let's say, a 1987 Hyundai Excel or something.

If LeMons existed in the UK, I can pretty much guarantee someone would do a Daewoo Nexia with a Vauxhall C20 turbo in it.

I think the Hyundai Stellar and Pony would be entertaining LeMons beaters, you can still see them on the road from time to time in Ontario (The same cannot be said of early Excels). From what I understand they're basically a knockoff Ford Cortina with the Mitsubishi driveline.

A mate had one of those for his first car when they first came out. Suprisingly not a bad car at all, much nicer to drive than an Excel. They used to have a racing league here in AU with I think the MIVEC engine out of the FTO (or was it some 4 banger MIVEC engine) in them, was quite interesting to watch.
