QTDDTOT: Why-Isn't-There-Already-One Edition Anonymous 07/24/2015 (Fri) 22:52:29 Id: c4cf35 No. 5473
Doing my plugs and wires soon. I've got pre-gapped Bosch Iridium spark plugs, and the gap on the box is the correct gap for my engine. I'd like to just put them in as-is without messing with the gap, since the electrode is so easy to damage, and because I'm pretty sure I've screwed up a couple iridium plugs before by gapping them. The thing is, 90% of "pre-gapped" plugs I've checked in the past were set at the wrong gap (and were not even consistent in how far off they were). So which is riskier? Messing with the gap to make sure it's right, or leaving them alone and potentially using the wrong gap?
>>16777 I want like big stickers. But idk how to find a good image or who. I was thinking Gondola or spurdo.
>>16778 >I want to put anime pics of my car >Gondola or spurdo Pic related. >big stickers You mean a vinyl wrap? Just hit up a place in your local area and they should be able to design something for you. Most sticker places should be able to do larger scale semi vehicle wraps, although they don't come cheap.

>>16780 >>16780 You seriously dont know of em? Yeah Vinyl wrap, dont wanna go cheap and get the crappy shit. Go big or go home.
>>16781 I do, but they are not anime at all. Hence my confusion. If you're based in the US (which I assume you are) I would recommend Team Wicked or Soraya Decals. If you have social media, look for Japanese Sticker Collective.
It's a long shot, but does anyone have the "Cuck Gear" image where Stig's face is replaced with Moonman's and the like? Can't find it anywhere.

>>16803 Now that man is our ruler.
Is it possible to have a engine to run "normal" like DD but if you flip a "switch" any time on or off you activate like way much more HP and have the full engine running in beast mode?
>>16844 Yup. Is called manually controllable VTEC and a turbo glued in there somewhere. Gotta make one hell of a strong head gasket first, if you want to jump up the compression ladder, which is the only actualy way to get more power out of the same engine.
>>16848 Can it be added to all cars? Or just ones with turbo's?
>>16853 No. Most ECUs can ge made to output slightly more power (at the expense of engine lifetime), it's only a programming problem to make VTEC toggleable by hand, and turbos already are stoppable/startable by computer. Just somehow figure out a way to give the computer brain damage and remap those functions to manual switches.
>>16844 If you have a turbo car, you can get a gadget called a boost controller that lets you control how soon or late the wastegate opens and lets the exhaust bypass the turbo. They come in a few flavors: >manual Sometimes called a bleed valve. Poorfag version. Essentially is a constant boost pressure leak between the turbo and the wastegate, causing it to open later. >manual-electric The above, except has two settings that you toggle betwren with an electric switch. >electronic Kind of like the above, except it's now an electronically controlled solenoid valve. Depending on the model, can do cool shit like hold the wastegate shut until target boost is reached so the turbo spools faster, protect against overboost, reduce boost in lower gears for launching, and let you switch between several profiles.

How much should you realistically spend on a car? Say a jeep for example?
>>16874 Should I keep a 89 2.5l Jeep wrangler or 87 suzkuki with a 1.6 sidekick swap?? I rather go for the suzuki imo. What are yall thoughts?
>>16875 The Suzuki, for two reasons. >That old AMC 2.5 is AIDSI had a 1998 Dodge Dakota with a fuel-injected version and it was an absolute turd >Jeeps are only good if you shovel money at them
>>16876 I was leaning the suzuki too. Thought it doesnt have much after market parts and some of the bigger stuff are kinda pricy, just their bumpers though. Everyhting else seemed okay price if there was any.
>>16872 Is topcuck even on still? I heard Matt Leblanc was leaving and Evens was done too. Is it just the stig standing there for a few minutes before laps in the latest cars Would be a major improvement by any strech Also whens then next season of the Grand Tour supposed to start? I also heard that they were going to stop pretty soon.
Is de-monopolising car inspection business from national service to certified repair shops an improvement or a bad idea?
>>7266 >Generally speaking, you mounted a FWD engine transverse because it saves space, but as a result, this means there is going to be an intermediate shaft on one of the axles. >As a result, the torque being applied to one side is going to be greater than the other, resulting in torque steer. >Usually when they mount of a FWD cars engine longitudinally it's because they want the transmission to be mounted more centrally, to make the torque steer less prevalent. Torque steer is when the steering joints different from the wheel center thus when one wheel loses traction the other will tug more and turn around the joint. Like a lever actuated by tire grip. Driveshaft length and mass do play a role but it's not the reason for torque steer.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4twF-g1nQo Why are Subaru drivers the worst drivers?
Would an 84 Hurst Olds be a good buy for $8k? I understand the "collectible" factor of the car, being something like 3500 of them made, and I do have a fondness for G-body "muscle" cars…but there are downsides. The stock Olds 307 only makes about 140bhp, which is 60 less than my 2007 fwd VW shitbox. How logical is it to try and upgrade the performance of the stock 307? Is it smarter to just swap engines, and if so, what Olds engines would fit with minimal hassle?

So i just got myself a bike, a late 80s Minsk 125. It had been standing outside for some time now, under a cover. I heard it had something wrong with the carbuerator, which i belive is because it has no damn airfilter. It has spark however, so the dyno works. The engine turns too. All the cables are rotten to shit, so right now it has no brakes or anything like that. I plan on getting a fresh set of cables and a new set of everything that is made of rubber on it, besdes the wheels. The wheels are fine, they inflated with no leaks, rolled on the trailer with no problems. Anyone has any experience with vintage bikes? What should i do first to get it in shape until summer?
The B20A5 in my 89 prelude is very tired. I want to make a little more power but stick with something easy to swap in that won't require heavily modifying my car, and I'd prefer to stay NA. I can't find very much on line about them, would the engine from the gen 4 prelude fit maybe?
