Quote from kamkorPL :Drifting is slower than "race driving/gripping". This is obvious.

Have you any idea how many noob drifters think the opposite?

I think you kicked drifting in the nuts with that video nisskid.

Two mega dorifto pow4r machines drifting and an AE86 keeping up easily. OK the driver is the Drift King but he doesn't even drift. Just shows how slow that kind of drifting really is.

Unless you are a qualified DIY mechanic, never buy a "modified" car.

Gunslinger Girls is a great series. Great story, great characters, great art. It's a bit sad towards the end, though.

Quote from The Very End :What kind if serie is that?

A two part 55 minute OAV. Funny as hell!

A story about a girl who's father is a knight and mother a dragon. She has a crush on a handsome singer who happens to be a dragon slayer. Ofcource there's is a sorceres of black magic who has her eye on the singer too. And her father, the king, has an evil advisor...


About the Initial D live action movie.
Quite good but no where near the series. Too many characters dropped out. Itsuki is even more stupid than in the series.

Quote from mrodgers :That statement is correct. You should replace all 4, because all 4 should be wearing evenly, because you should be rotating your tires on a schedule (oilchange? every 5000 miles?) to give you even wear.

Who's going to change their wheels every 5000 miles? Besides on a FWD vehicle the front tyres are wearing faster than the rears so by rotating the tyres you put the worse ones to the rear. That's smart. As the rear wheels are the ones that keep you going in the direction you want.
On an RWD vehicle the tyres wear more evenly. They wear differently on the front and rear. But the amount of tread gone is about the same. I'm talking about normal driving and not dragging or racing or drifting. So rotating the tyres make them wear more evenly per tyre.

Many modern tyres have a directional tread pattern which makes tyre rotation impossible. I bought two new studded winter tyres for my car. Only two because two of my previous set still have enought tread to last this "winter" because they were the rear tyres. Finding directionless tyres was quite hard.

I suggest that before you do anything major you buy a workshop manual for the car. I've found that Haynes manuals are good.

About the timing.
Usually engines have timing marks on the block that need to be lined up with the ones on the gears the timing belt goes over. These are all explained in detail, with good pictures, on those manuals.
As a rule of thumb:
If the timing is off by one tooth, you get a noicy engine.
If it's off by two teeth, you get to replace your valves.
Not true on all cars, mind you.

I have trouble understanding why you would even want a +/- stick on an automatic. If I were to buy a vehicle with an automatic I would bloody well expect it to do the changing. If I want to change myself, as I do, I buy one with a manual.

The stupidest invention of ev4r is a +/- stick on a variator transmission. Yes they have done it. Can't remember what car it was. But they have really done it.

Would that be such a bad thing? Looking at your CTRA stats you could use a few more points. Even I have more than you. Or is it only because I don't have a life and you do?

Maybe you should get a reward for reporting.
A few points for a warning.
Ten or Twenty for a caution.
Fifty for a short term ban
A hundred for a mid term one.
500 for a permanent ban.

Quote from atlantian :phoning irish bars for employees(that are recent immigrants) that we can interview

That's where they'll be all right.

Haven't many Irish imigrants joined the police force? Might be worth to try asking around your local police station.

I've only seen sparks in RL racing on two seperate occasions.

1st: Old formula 1 cars with the metal undercarriage had sparks flying all over the place on bumpy tracks. Nowadays it's just a puff of saw dust... lame.

2nd: In oval racing when a vehicle is doing 200mph on it's roof.

Spark - Check
Fuel - Check
Air - ?
Timing belt/chain - ?
Could be a stuck valve.
The flames suggest that timing is way off. My POS Ford did that.
Only 3 sylinders firing can be related to a malfunctioning lamda sond. If your car has injection. My -95 Golf did that.


For the har har bit.
It's an old Seat...

If the CTRA ever need an ambulance driver, I'm up for it. How ever, don't expect a very fast ride in it.

Speedy recovery to the lot of you.
When I say speedy I don't mean you should rush it.

Quote from HVS5b :Mercifully so There can still be a fair spread of abilities on Race 2, from the "just qualified from Race 1" racer to the "I got Titanium months ago" uber-wad

And then there is me who's 2k short of Platinum and still so slow that I get yellows even if I'm on the track.
