I have an unhealthy obsession with motorcycles.

Somehow I got sucked into watching turbo 2.3L (lima motors) with volvo heads all morning.
You find some of the damnedest things when you stick your redneck in my ricer.
Like this turbo Pinto 2-stroke motor:
http://youtu.be/0z7-O58t6so

and retarded comments:


TBQH I am absolutely :gay: for the lima motor. I've got one in my (2.5L) ranger and I cannot wait to slap a turbo and B234 16v head on it.

Edit: I just realized I'll save half the cost of the head when I go to do my next tune up. I'll be cutting the number of wires and plugs in half.

Great analogy. It was enough for me to get it immediately when it happened but not enough for me to guess what the hell was about to happen.

That's goddamn hilarious though.

Most of you probably don't follow the Sportscar thread in SAS, so I'll put this here.

The Rolex Grand-Am series is run by NASCAR, with multiple GT classes like other sanctioning bodies, and a prototype class no one loves because the cars are hideously ugly. Well, that's going to change next year as the bodywork rules are being relaxed.

Naturally, Pratt & Miller jumped in and knocked it out of the park.

What this sausage party needs is a big dollop of ketchup! Too bad I didn't make any. :(

Autotest always looks unnatural as hell to me. They must have the rear brakes turned down to the point of non-existence.




E: I've heard both that they just bias down the rears, and I have heard the split brake pedal thing once or twice. I have no idea if either is true or what the hell the deal is. Autotest is wizardry to me.

Don't they have a split brake pedal so they can vary the balance with their foot? Sure would make some of that fancy sliding much easier to pull off.

I was wondering about this. And getting into reverse in the legacy wagon wasn't so bad if you tractor shifted (doubleclutched to rev match)

This is awesomer by far.

Ever wondered what driving over a curb at 30 miles per hour does to your stopping distance? What about sliding on ice into a curb at a 45-degree angle? Brakestomping on a street covered in only the worst manhole covers ever made? Ever wanted to drive up a runaway truck ramp?

The music just makes the video all the more awesome.
