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...
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...
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...
Yea, I'd agree with Ian on this.
You have a vacuum gauge handy?
Hook one up and check here:

Back when I still used an iPhone (Android Galaxy S now), I had this mount in my truck:

Great mount - very sturdy, does not wobble around - it's amazingly stout.
I love you too.
Thanks!
I'm not that old!
Add 15 to that. ;)
Thank you.
You know damned well how old I am you fossil!
Indeed. The big birthday meal is on the weekend. Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday. (Turkey, etc...)
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.
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.
And just think, somewhere, right now, that person is out there.
Here's another great parking job:

yea, and this one is too.
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...
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.
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.
