    Improving Factory Brakes

    Personally I don't like them. You can achieve the same pad outgassing with slotted rotors without the risk of cracking as easily. Hard pull downs from high speed highway runs can do it. Road course definitely will do it eventually. For most street driving, it might take a long time, possibly...

    Improving Factory Brakes

    For that kind of driving, you're probably right. I drive my car to its limits, sometimes on Road Atlanta. Coming into turn 10a, my rotors will glow orange. Slotted rotors crack under those conditions easily. As IJ said: Do whatever works for you. Bad brake pulsation, pulling to one side and...

    Doomsday Preppers

    I'm not sure if it's the specific show you watched, but I did see a show on Discovery that was supposedly about "preppers". The reason I put "preppers" in quotes is that 1/2 the people on the show were 2012 Dooomsday Mayan Clock nutters and some of the others have since showed up on some of the...

    Iphone users: have any good car mount suggestions?

    Back when I still used an iPhone (Android Galaxy S now), I had this mount in my truck: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0031U1AT6/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details Great mount - very sturdy, does not wobble around - it's amazingly stout.

    Best automotive related thread fail?

    I think we had a thread on it here, but that was on the old phpBB code. That database is long gone (probably). There could be a copy of that dB (post hack) archived somewhere on my network at the house. I'll dig around this weekend.

    The Wall of Shame isn't in the search index (we don't want the trash from there polluting people's search results), so you've got to just browse thorugh it. There are some real trainwrecks in there.

    Best automotive related thread fail?

    Our own Wall of Shame has a few winners: Siman and cranks There are a few others mixed in that section. Some aren't automotive related. My favorite non car one has to be Lagged's infamous meltdown thread.

    This is why drving schools start you out in relatively mundane cars. Skip Barber starts you out in a Mazda Miata or RX-8 before you ever get near something like a BMW M3. This lets you learn advanced driving and allows you to make mistakes at speeds that are not a certain death sentence if you...

    Exhaust ed

    GASupra is correct - I will move the thread for you. No, that's purely a coincidence. It will run without exhaust. We have a few members that drive around with open downpipes and it's very common for Supras used for dragracing that have an exhaust like that. Something else got damaged.

    Opinion on Walbro 341 Fuel Pump

    Be careful who you buy it from. There are a lot of counterfiet (Cheap Chinese knockoffs) Walbro's on the market. Make sure whoever "they" are is a reputable seller or you may wind up with junk.
