AJ

His fastest time, not FTD, Sir Ego the IIIrd.

It's was a in general post not one aimed at kale.

 

Results are up, BTW

Cough, cough.

Why do you think that kind sir?

I have seen 5 either gear failures or drive shaft failures and 4 out of 5 something broke in the transmission due to the sudden change in load then rapid increase in shaft speed.

I was seeing minimal results, even at high banks in the glacial deposit zone so i gave up.

It just didn't.......pan out. Bazinga

This is autocross.....price of the car doesn't matter in most cases...there are guys with $2k civics and $10-$20k worth of go fast parts......

Come now, you know Rich doesn't have that kinda money in that thing. He has more money in trailer tires than his whole car.

freaking hilarious Rich......remind me again, didn't I beat you at the last event? Ok, just checking :gabe:

I thought he was spot on.

And your 5 figure car vs. Rich's 3 figure car and only beat him by .5 seconds? Tisk tisk.

Yes. No idea why people buy the IR one for twice as much and half the warranty. Other techs at the shop would always come borrow my impact when their snap on wouldn't take a bolt loose. It was the first and only 1/2" impact I've ever bought and I've only lubed or oiled it a hand full of times in the 11 years I've owned it.

I have a craftsman and it's held up fine. Though, it has trouble breaking nuts that have been over torqued (Parents cars and mine when I first had it).

 

I've been oiling it everytime and has been good so far.

Should have got the composit professional one.

Go to sears and buy the craftsman professional 1/2" impact. It's made by IR and has lasted me over 10 years with out a loss of power.

As for 3/8" the composit Mac is the best power wise. I like the air cat a lot better though because it's easier to control the trigger speed on and isn't much down on power to the Mac. I have both.

turn the wheel the opposite direction the boat is going. Do it slowly. Backing slowly once is better than retrying 5 times.

Newbs can also put their had at the bottom of ther steering wheel and turn the wheel the direction they want the trailer to go.

Some good info in here

There isn't anything there that I didn't already say other than maybe the holes would work IF they are designed right and then it would be 50*c at the high end of the heat range and it would only be on the face.

Bro, what do all the high powered gt and gt2 cars use? Huge 8 piston calipers, two piece slotted rotors and specialty pads. Why slotted? So they dissipate the heat. And two peice to prevent cracking! There is a reason for slotted rotors...

They don't use slotted rotors they use fish hook cut rotors to save weight and most of the teams run AP Racing 6 piston calipers. GT uses carbon rotors. Your not even compairing apples to apples here as those rotors are cracked and replaced after every race.
