Agreed. And I'm sure he can console himself with the knowledge that a Diablo will get more ass than a Supra.

Cool. Did you go? I haven't been but think it would be a lot of fun.

Ok: http://www.full-race.com/images/gallery/prostreet/images/002.jpg Not so OK: http://www.full-race.com/images/gallery/supra/images/hrsupra3.jpg Why? It doesn't look to me that the flow to the wastegate would be significantly different between these two. I agree that your "ideal" would b...

This was a real muscle car. A 1973 Pontiac Ventura with a 472 Pontiac motor in it. The motor is making somewhere around 540/540 if I remember correctly. The car handles slightly worse than my Astro van fully loaded, it stops even worse than it handles (4 wheel drums), but HO! LY! SHIT! does that thi...

Am I the only one that has odd fantasies about bringing a lifted fiero out to Africa?

I've got an '85 GT rally car I'll sell you. I'll even crew for you if you'll get me there.

I found some information. If you believe these numbers are not correct let me know. With these numbers and Microsoft Excel, I calculated piston speeds at the power peak. Old S2000: rod 153mm (6.024") stroke 84mm (3.307") bore 87mm (3.425") max piston speed @8300 124 ft/sec avg piston ...

What determines the amount of air an engine breathes and expels? Is it displacement related, forced induction related, or just horsepower related period? My current theory is the last one. Horsepower and air are directly related. More of the first one requires more of the second one. Here's an examp...

eHoward, so at 50 lb/ft there is a distinct possibility that I may lose a wheel or two on the highway tomorrow moning? Youll probably feel the wheel get loose before you lose it. Your lugs will have to be extremely loose before the wheel falls off. As an example, let's say you install a front wheel...

Another one.

You guys should let me know if you experience anything odd or not right. I'm occasionally seeing out of memory errors. After posting a new topic I got this error: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 184320 bytes) in /home/httpd/vhosts/pennockssucks.saturne...

The stock Fiero harness is fairly self contained. The only thing I can think of that you'd need that's not in the engine harness is the VSS to gauge cluster to ECM wiring. Does the VSS even matter? The engine won't have a transmission attached if it's bolted to an engine dyno. I wonder if the compu...

Try something different every time out during testing, then go back and compare your results. Ahhh, if only life were that simple. It would be ideal if you had the time, money, and parts to do testing on a course that was representative of (or the same as) the course you'll be racing on. The unfort...

This seems like a good time to jump into this forum... The spindle that the front wheel is mounted on pivots. If this pivot point is directly inline with the center line of the tread then when you turn the steering wheel, the front wheel will pivot on the ground. If the center of the tread is, say, ...
