  1. ahhhhhhhh. I see. so environmentally conscious ed isn't as dumb as he looks
  2. that little number after the R....its the rim size.......sooooo no.
  3. it could be the gasket. sometimes oil can get under them and cause the car to run like shit. my intake manifold gaskets looked fine in my lt1 but they had a lil oil under them, and it ran much better after being replaced.
  4. starliner= fuckin win. be warned tho its not a "classy" or "nice" restraurant. i like the atmosphere, but if miss picky is offended by the fact that there the chairs dont match, that there are about 40 something retro clocks on the wall, and a space scene mural on one of the walls, then its prolly not a good idea. food is fantastic tho.

    I think Clbsinvaders will tell you ALLLLLL about the magickz of seafoam.
  6. ohhhh so your saying like throughout a road race? i thought you meant a single brake test scenario like i described.
  7. question is WAAAAAAAY too vague
  8. and if you want to think about it in terms of energy, then consider that kinetic energy represented by: K=(1/2)mv^2 where m= mass and V= velocity. therefore if the velocity is the same between the two cars, then the heavier car will have a greater initial kinetic energy than the lighter car, and thus will have more energy in the form of heat after it has stopped.
  9. You said force on the brakes, not the energy converted. the force of friction on the brakes slowing the car down cannot exceed the force of static friction between the tires and the road. once the force of friction on the brakes reaches the maximum static friction of the tires on the road, the tires will begin to slide. since the force of static friction is defined as F=KN where K is the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road and N= the normal force of the road on the car. since the car is not flying into the air the normal force is equal to the weight of the car. if the two cars have the same tires, then the coefficient of friction is the same. therefore if you increase the weight of the car, the maximum force of static friction will increase. since the force of friction on the brakes has to be equal and opposite to the force of friction, the force will be greater on the car with a greater mass. this is assuming that both cars braking systems are strong enough to lock up the wheels and overcome the static friction of the tires on the road.
  10. do they have the same type and size of tire? if so then the answer would be A. this is because the maximum force of braking has to be equal to the maximum static friction of the tire on the road. since static friction is equal to the coefficient of friction times the normal force of the system(in this case normal force is equal to weight) the heavier car would have more friction, and thus would have more breaking force. however braking force does not equate to stopping distance or rate of deceleration.
  11. and im a personal fan of sierra nevada ipa.....not that i drink or anything......
  12. I seem to recall telling you like idk...EVERY DAY that once you go V8 you wont want to go back.
  13. whats hilarious is that there is a retard guy off sawmill that has been trying to sell an elcamino for 4k, and its got a rust hole big enough for a cat to live in comfortably. its been for sale for like a year ..... idiots. nice car im a fan of the cark.
  14. That was so much damn fun! i cant wait till next year!
  15. theres lots of magazines in the world, and since you didn't specify one i assumed you meant FHM, and i didn't see any. and im not talkin 05's anyway, im talkin 98 v6s. ne way i didnt mean to threadjack andrew, and im just busting your chops martin. your an alright guy in my book.
  16. not gonna lie i kinda like it. i think it woulda been better in a matte finish tho
  17. I would love to take a poll of how many v6 mustang owners buy aftermarket driveshafts. just to see how "common" it is
  18. May i remind you that you also thought an aftermarket driveshaft was a good idea

    car parts

    any word on the other two wheels yet? in no hurry, just curious.
  20. FUCK YES! http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa215/dan93z28/solstice.jpg if you havent seen HOTROD mags project American Badass, its fuckin sick.
