Regardless of whether his logic for the temp increase is right or wrong, the temp readings did go up.

Anyway - sounds retarded. Looks retarded.

I dialed up the boost on my battery and I don't want to overheat the spare tyre :cry: :cry: :cry:
No "stance", no "hellaflush", none of that bullshit. Nothing but no grip on full boost.

Oh how times changed, I got flamed for pointing out why it was a bad idea years ago :lol:

It might suit on a drag car. When moving very slowly or not at all (like when staging, waiting or on the return road) there won't be the air flow to create the high pressure zone. So then the "heat rises" rule will apply.

so if you were really clever and wanted to be full dwift-spic, you would centreline pivot your bonnet to catch max air when sideways, and act as an air brake for turn in 8)
I've been a bad bad boy. I should read the rules and behave before I get spanked by an admin

Don't warn them!

I think it's a great idea! All cefiro, laurel etc etc.. owners with chopped springs, huge camber and rear steelies driving on public roads should go to the nearest track and do this!

flatpeakers and minitruckers love the stuff - to the point they trim the interior with the stuff and cut phrases like "RB20E F.D.P" and "MINITRUKIN LYFE" into it

Reminds me of a news article the other night about the roads being dangerous, and a video clip of a driver "struggling with the conditions."

Video was of the typical above mentioned cefiro snaking down the street in the snow deliberately, lol.

^nah i disagree, doesnt have anywhere enough treadplate to get the bitches.
The four seasons in Australia consist of "$&#$% it's hot", "Can you believe how $&#$% hot it is?", "I won't be in today because it is too $&#$% hot" and "Yes, the dinner plate size spiders come inside to escape from the heat."

the honda vtax kiddies loves to do it on their pieces of shits, makes them think they're a real racer. It's like come on kid, your B18C vtackz barely makes enough power to boil an egg.

Just don't do it.


I understand there is a level of inherent Toyota vs Honda hate as there is with Ford and Holden. Plenty of knobs drive Hondas, Nissans, Mitsis, VWs, BMWs, Subarus and Toyotas.
As for claims that B18Cs are shit motors. it's frankly not true. I've owned one (all be it years ago) and they are a seriously strong and fast NA engine. I was however beaten by a friend in an SSII 3SGE Celica.

We are supposedly car enthusiasts on this forum surely we can appreciate the engineering of other brands regardless of the look or the stereotype of the driver. Lets leave the Hate at the door.
Drive it like you hate it!

Yes.

Also we take the piss out of many stereotypes and most don't take things to seriously :wink:
Or are you a wanker BMW driver with typical teutonic lack of humour? :P
