I think she just likes the attention it gets, especially when she's riding inside. Do they still have big deals? I was talking to a guy who owned one in '08 and he said he paid below 100k with the incentives going on. KozmoNaut posted:That sucks. My dad had to sell his drums when my parents had me and he still (jokingly) gives me poo poo about it. My dad sold his 3.0 CS and still gives me poo poo about that.

angryhampster posted:Exactly. IIRC, it's only available from the dealer if you have Sync (that may have been my confusion), which is a ~$1000 option on a $14k car. I'm sure you can get the dealer to enable it for a backroom fee if you ask. My friend bought his 5.0 with CAGS disabled after he mentioned how much he disliked it but before he knew he could do it himself. Once it's out the factory doors the dealership can pretty much do whatever, especially if it's a walking point for only a few hundred dollars.

LO Technology posted:You're right. Racing tires and -asphalt doesn't rely entirely on friction. For road cars and road asphalt (entirely friction at my=09 at the best) my calculations still stand. Your math is off, 1g=21.93mph. With a 1.0 co-efficient of friction the maximum acceleration is slightly below 3 seconds and there are road tires with above a 1.0 co-efficient of friction. Still, I've neverhad problems sitting forward under accel except when I was in a 6 point. Muffinpox fucked around with this message at 05:31 on Apr 17, 2011 |

meatpimp posted:The problem is when "literally" becomes a catchall space-filler. Like name calling. I guess I should sit in a student center and berate all the students who use te figure of speech "this bag weighs a ton" too. DOES IT REALLY WEIGH A TON? REALLY? There is absolutely 0 problem with using literally on the figurative sense when you're using it in an exaggerating way.

I can't stay mad at you  Brain Issues posted:This is awesome I'm still getting used to the rev band, I feel like I'm out of revs even when I haven't hit the 6000rpm switchover.

Brain Issues posted:You'll get used to it eventually, and probably learn to love it. I can't believe someone would sell an S2000 to buy a Civic Si unless they had kids or something. The S2000 is pretty much the only Honda worth its weight IMO. He's a full time ME masters student and it worked out that owning a new Si was significantly cheaper than owning his s2k. Once he graduates he'll be making enough to buy the NSX he wants and I'll still be a scrub. Muffinpox fucked around with this message at 20:55 on May 2, 2011 |

Shaocaholica posted:I guess if you relate 'underhood temperatures' to 'performance' then I would not retract that statement but I never said it made my car any 'faster' despite a minute weight reduction. Why are you nit picking this? Seriously? You've already said you don't like it. I get it. If you want to ridicule my car then by all means link my photos in the 'Stupid poo poo we've seen people put on their cars'. Lets put it this way, my dad is a big car nerd. I took my dad for a ride in a modified Evo8 once. He said it was one of the fastest things he's ever been in and the amount of grip and power it could hurl around was frankly pretty obscene. The second thing he said is that it look like the biggest clown car he has ever seen and he would only ever buy one if the wing and hood would go. I don't feel about your car particularly either way and I love the evo8, but they are really ricey factory and emulating one does invite the "rice" reaction.

afen posted:Looks like the Audi Tradition shop sells them now, they buy out the stock that Audi's going to throw away and sell it on their website, but as you say, rubber deteriorates. If i remember correctly you can use the belt and water pump from an S2, so it looks like I'll have to do that the next time! Your problem is trying to buy from Audi, if you want a nice laugh call up Audi and ask how much a new K24 costs. Send an email to 034 motorsports, they have most RS2 specific hardware lying around.

The k series are journal bearing and super easy to rebuild. For $1300 you can get a 034 motorsports GT28RS which is a bolt on ball bearing turbo thanks to the k16 hot side

Dizman posted:I'm trying. My last C5Z made 680 rwhp, and I absolutely hated the car. It was terrifying to drive on twisty roads (snap oversteer), sucked to drive in traffic (Stage 4 Spec clutch), was a maintenance nightmare, it was impossible not to do a million miles per hour everywhere I went and so I got rid of it after four months. However I missed being able to drop into 3rd and leave tire marks on the highway up to 100 mph. This time I'm staying with a 3.8" pulley, no meth injection and we're going to have a fairly conservative tune on there. Looking to make around 580 rwhp and just leave it the hell alone. Last time you posted about your Z06 all you could talk about is how every car you've modded you end up getting the bug and hating it because it's undriveable, so why not just leave this one stock and go to HPDEs with it until you can actually drive a stock one?

Yea that's why I suggested doing at least one HPDE before modding the car, I borrow my friends stock C6 Z06 for autox and after just that the thought of only ever using the car for highway pulls, even giving it another 200whp, just bores the poo poo out of me.

Fucknag posted:Boost pressure pushes against a fixed spring tension; the wastegate will not open until that pressure is reached. Mechanical wastegate springs and boost gauges operate on relative pressure, not absolute. A 9psi spring will give you 23.7psi absolute at sea level but only 20.7 at 5000'. There are ways to have the wastegate adjust to reach a target absolute pressure (usually electronic), but to hit 23.7psi at 5000' the spring and the boost gauge will both be at 12psi instead of 9.

My Frs is being a dumb shitpile that breaks every other month. After a nice 170mi tow and getting home at 1am, I decided I had strayed a bit to far into Automotive insanity for a daily driver for the past two years and wouldn’t mind something reliable and most importantly: blue. 2019 Civic si Sedan. I joked about it in the last autocross thread but there’s really nothing close to as good out of the box with a warranty for under 40k. The civic sport is close but I wanted the pimp shocks and a diff.  Muffinpox fucked around with this message at 06:42 on Feb 8, 2019 |
