  1. Now that Osaka Motors actually sells cars up in Quebec, you may see more and more RHD cars in the states. They have several R32's in stock right now.
  2. I'll be riding a bike all summer more than likely... Springs isnt really all that big in comparison to Columbus its a very north south city, and its not even as tall as 270 is... so really riding a bike around isnt that big of a deal as long as you dont have to look real nice when you get there lol
  3. Well thats a good thing though... before, people just dealt with it, and then realized how much of a mistake that was... now when gas starts rising, people will hold off on those unnecessary trips, buying less and help to keep gas down.
  4. Big turbo B series run about 60-65% torque ratio... so 883 is probably 530 trq, 570 tops.
  5. Well about 6 months ago I was about .10-.15 higher, now it dropped to 1.39 for several days then dropped another nickel. Works for me.
  6. probably in the low 500's... its a B series so you you cant give it too much credit.
  7. Ok so im not a doctor... but im a work horse, and an athlete, and dont have back problems even when recently shoveling about 14 tons of stone to help finish my sisters back yard of her new house. Before you ever do any kind of strenuous labor, you have to be built for it. By this i mean you cant have "The Little Guy Complex". You cant always try to prove that you can carry just as much, or physical do just as much as the next guy. Im a big guy as far as averages go, and even though im extremely high impact friendly, I still know theres a limit to what i can do safely. You have to have the right muscle to do the job. Im great for shoveling stone... except im a bit tall... but other than that, i have the right muscle structure for it to keep my body in comfortable position that will keep me from being injured. As much as I run, I didnt just go out and run full blast everyday... i had to work up to it, and get my body to remember what it needed to be like it was 10 or 11yrs ago when i was in track and cross country. Your body will adapt, but you have to give it time. Im not a doctor, and im sure someone will say i shouldnt be, and i promise i wont, but you started WAY too young, and youve grown into your problem, not just gotten it out of the blue from an injury. Go see a Chiropractor, its your best bet.
  8. and his 1/4 mile... Damn near prostock time and speed on a 10.50 tire... that car is 110% incredible.
  9. 883 is a lot of top end for a little EX...
  10. When your car runs like that you know your gearing and shift points are absolutely PERFECT.
  11. thats so badass its not even funny. It looks like clay in some of those shots.
  12. so is 13.4 @ 104 Mines even slower
  13. Here's my issues with current day space flight: 1. Why does it take so long to book a mission? Back in the 1960's Nasa was booking an Apollo mission roughly every 6 WEEKS. Now we see one every what... 9 months? Year? This was the final blitz play to make it to the moon first... we did, multiple times, and then suddenly decided to just orbit the earth. What happened there? 2. Dollar value. Lets try to imagine the amount of money spent on these rockets that take 5-8 people to low earth orbit... we cant... its an UNREAL amount of money. So lets think about what it has cost for the only privateer to actually make a craft capable of going to low earth orbit while using rockets only after climbing to 50 or so thousand feet... roughly $100M... peanuts compared to the shuttle. So now lets think... how difficult would it really be, to modify an existing product, to fly only from earth, to the space station carrying ONLY people and their gear, and immediately back to earth.... 10% of the shuttle cost? If that? So then lets also think about how easy and simple it would be to using "simple" rockets from the 60's to take up a cargo bay of only parts and gear to create a craft in space... still pennies right? Everything has been made so complicated that it costs ridiculous money now. 3. No one dreams. As little kids now days, do we really dream about going into space? Do we even know what an astronaut is anymore? 50 years ago, little kids dreamed of walking on the moon. What do we dream about now? Being rap artists? Sports icons? Nascar greats? The country today is only united by one thing... complaining. We complain about everything. How much gas costs, why electric is so expensive, laws we don't agree with, taxes, the cable going out, the guy in the turn lane that just wont turn, anything and EVERYTHING! 50 years ago, a whole nation got everyone excited about one common goal. And as a nation, we achieved it. Now, the only thing we achieve is a top spot on the worlds fattest countries list.
  14. Actually, there is very little draft from a propeller in the inner half of the blades. Almost all your thrust is generated by the outer portions of the prop. Im sure its louvered somewhere to allow heat to escape form under the bonnet.
  15. Does a rotary really have a redline? I mean... whats the point of a redline... to prevent you from spinning the thing to pieces due to extreme forces to rotational inertia... but what really prevents a rotary from spinning into R6 territory? I for the first time in history, proclaim ignorance on this subject.
  16. "Fine report me, come the fuck down here and arrest me, just send someone down here now!" Die Hard, will never die. Period.
  17. I would attempt... if there were many drugs involved.
