Yep. That's a pretty painful stupid tax, but they probably won't be texting and driving anytime soon.

Looks more like the hand goes back in the window as it goes over. Please keep your arms and legs inside the ride until the vehicle has come to a complete stop.

They are like that on both sides in the rear, too. The front tires are better, but not by a lot. Everything about the guy and his car is terrible car stuff.

Look, we've all been there - you forgot one part, and now your only transportation has it's steering wheel in the back seat. It's three miles to the parts store. Fuckit, gimme those vice grips. http://www.postalthings.com/Right-hand-Drive-Conversion-Kits-RHD/rhd-kits.html

I wouldn't be able to resist throwing a smaller than 1:1 pulley on the steering shaft for a mad tyte fast steering ratio.

Octopus Magic posted:My car pushes a lot more power without a (factory) cat, and does sound better? You're killing the environment. QQ. I just can't understand the point of putting tires that are a good 3" too small for a wheel on a car. There's a couple idiots in older Acura's that have super stretched tires on their cars that are literally a nats rear end off the ground. I played that game when I was in high school in a 68 bug that could push a coke can down the street on its side. After a while you just want a car that you can blow through a yellow light without worrying about losing parts of your car. I'm almost afraid to lose the 1-2" of clearance when I get the R. It's kind of nice to have a car that only scrapes the little plastic wind deflectors when hitting the stupid 3" deep drainage ditches they love to put in the middle of the roads out here.

  Those GTA5 PC mods have gotten really photorealistic. I like the colour but do these people investigate what big tires do for the turning radius before shopping?

Bought a wrecked car last fall (smashed in the rear corner while parked) with plans to salvavge the interior, sell off the good body panels and put the engine and trans in another project. Checked it out a week beforehand to make sure it was running, driving and stopping, then winged it 350 miles from Iowa to Illinois. Starting to strip it down this spring and I notice this from the oversized rimmmmmz that had been on... Rubbing on the inner fender liner? It happens. Rubbing on the soft brake line? No Bueno. If the previous owner hadn't gotten smashed in the back, I doubt it would have taken long before it would go into the back of somebody else.

They recently completed 'construction' on one of the busiest highways in my city, it took 1.5 years. Before we had the old Humber Hump, which was one particularly nasty bump in the middle of a 4 lane highway, the 'hump' was so severe that it became a tourist attraction, there are pictures floating around of cars and trucks gaining as much as 5 inches of air coming off the hump. Needless to say it wasn't all that much fun for the daily commuter. Now that the construction is done I thought "Great, smooth ride" ... what was once 1 big-rear end bump is now 3 equally annoying, the last of them being bad enough to kick in my traction control each and every time. Mind you this is a highway where 100 km/h is the average everyday speed. Point of this story is my previous car was lowered as well, tastefully, but still low enough that I would scrape on speed bumps and inclines if I didn't watch the angle. Also managed to drag a coffee cup a few hundred meters once which was pretty funny. I'm pretty sure my car would have blown out the whole suspension if it had to go over this new travesty of road construction 88h88 posted:How do those tyres even hold air/not spin wildly on the wheels?!

You could also plumb the spark plug hole of that de-activated cylinder back into the intake with a check valve for a two fold power gain from the decreased resistance and air pump effect of the compression stroke.
