Wait what?
How does an engine that runs on 87 pump gas high compression?
Magic?

On big red '80s Fords? I'm hoping to avoid parts over 70 lb., that's roughly what I lift 3-4x a day currently.
Naturally, then, rallying, with its emphasis on 15" wheels and tires, and lightweight parts has even more added benefits to my spinal comfort. Karting was bad for that.
I could go on and on about what people said about my go-kart, to get back on topic. My favourite comment "how long 'til you get that turbo?"
Dude, it's a high-compression Honda lawnmower motor. It's also a grenade. Even without turbos, these motors are prone to explosive catastrophic failures. The compression ratio is extremely high.
Bopop, you've been out of karting for too long. They switched to 91 Octane.

"All the best manuals use Torque converters now, that's why they're the best"
Errrr. What?

Brandon H. Or Adrian, split a motor open. I forget who it was, but the whole block split right open. Turbo'ing it would be a bad idea.
I remember playing with that toy- wait a second!
On-topic: anyone else tired of people associating muffler size with speed? I actually remember seeing a Kia or a Hyundai, with a muffler big enough that I actaully went up, and put my shoe in it. Dude, it's tooooooo big!
I find it funny that people do so when in in reality it's not how late it is but how well it flows. For performance reasons anyways. Too big a muffler can actually cause problems.
That's the point. If you can fit a size 12 shoe (US size, yes) inside a muffler, the muffler's too flipping big.
That's size 11 and a half in the UK, folks.
And that muffler is waaaaaaaaaaaaay too big!
TDZdaveIts not something ricers say, this is more something ricers do, putting a NISMO sticker on a Toyota or Mitsibishi, A ralliart sticker slightly larger then the rear window, on the rear window of a Daewoo Lanos,
the most unusual ricer I came across had a 70's Rover, put celica badges on it, and said it was an AE86, He came to the scarp yard I worked at with scrap metals for recycling, and would totally BS us about his rover,
One particular day I decided to test his stupidity, He brought in some assorted parts, from washing machines or fridge motors, I picked up a random object that looked like a random engine part from the assortment of recycling materials, and said
"Wait a minute bloke, this is rare, get it reconditioned at this carburetor repair place and install it to your fuel injection kit, 500 horses easy, they are illegal!"
Needless to say he never came back whilst I finished my employment there,
XSMy neighbor is a fanboy ricer from redneck hell. Claimed his Cavalier could beat anything on our block, including my motorcycle. Well one day last week we egged him on to do an e-brake burnout (because it's FF obviously) and quite expectedly the car didn't have enough power to get it done. Also quite expected, he did a decent job roasting the clutch. Kinda hard to be the fastest car on the block now, isn't it...
MrMelancholy15Well, I'm going to college to be a mechanic in a month. I'm hoping there are no ricers in my class, but, if there are...
Anyways, my favourite thing, I think, is when someone freaked out about a car having a rollcage and window nets. I don't remember where or what it was, just someone freaked out "ZOMG rollcage Hax0rzzzz!!!!111!!!"
Yes, most purpose built cars have rollcages. 👍 this is a big deal because...?

MrMelancholy15What're you saying about my feet?
Anyways, pretty much this. New rule in muffler sizing: It shall not be able to hold a size 12 shoe.
eight6erA guy tried to tell me his friend has an AE86 corolla that has 3 chips in it so it has 200 bhp. Strange how my practically standard AE86 was just as fast as it.
Wait, WHAT?!? This...I don't even....:facepalm:
I feel sorry for the AE being with a complete moron. What car has three ECUs in their engines?
ITCC_Andrew^ Not when the mufflers were/are hot, though, right? Like, you know, not burning your foot, right?
Other than that, go ahead.
eight6erPlenty of morons own them over here unfortunately, they think they are gods gift to driving because they can pull off an uncontrolled donut, swinging the ass of the car wildly in a car park.
They all copy each other and put the exact same wheels and exhaust on every one, I'm talking country wide here and it's so common I used to think they were the standard wheels when I was a kid. Many people here don't have much imagination when it comes to car styling and to make it worse they get Japanese imports and change all the parts to make them look like an Irish one.
But yeah this guy really thought you could just keep adding chips and it would keep increasing the power. Another guy with a WRX impreza thought it was 500 hp because he had an uprated exhaust, intercooler, dump valve and intake. Yes he thought the dump valve added about 50 hp.
Ummmm....ok?
That's one wild story right there dude. And I think this guy need to understand that a small upgrade docent net you 500hp in a second, to do that in a WRX you need to rebuild the boxer engine with stronger parts so it can take the power over 500, even though boxer engines are strong and can take the power in their stock form. And he's in a WRX, they have weaker transmissions..... Someone, please take that poor WRX from this retard ASAP!!!
You deserve the WRX eight6 by a long shot. 👍
