reee

huge frictional losses as the crank spins through the viscous fluid. it would be like trying to sprint in a pool.

what happens if you fill a engine completely to the top?

My car really likes to turn with ruts in the road or just turn with the bumps and valleys of the road in general to the point of it being a huge nuisance. It's more obvious when on the breaks (since the front tires get loaded more) and can be pretty bad on shitty roads like i-5 since they never smooth out the road and always leave pinches/ruts in it. But my tire wear for all 4 tires is spectacularly even. Should I go get my front end re-aligned or just not touch what could possibly be the best alignment for even tire wear ever.

ya that sounds 100 percent stock

I don't care because I like neither of them.

>>17647043
Yes it is stock. 90's cars don't have all the new dangled computer wizardry to make them quiet

Could valves be out of place?

3 options:

first and most likely, something on the timing belt is out of place, culprits include cams, crank, or tension pulley.

second is bent valves, while less common on single cam motors, still can be an issue. especially likely since you did head work.

third option is that something is up with the head gasket work that was done. this could be quite possibly hundreds of things.

start troubleshooting at the top, check cams. check crank and check all your pulleys.

personally, i really think its valves, hopefully not though.

are you throwing any codes? if so what are they?

No,
Could've been a hyper car slayer, won't be.
Could've had a good engine platform, doesn't.
Could've been something completely unique regarding its styling like the GT90 instead of "GT40" ran through a current-year filter.
Price and pretentiousness of a European exotic without the engine of one.

Lastly you have to suck Ford's dick and prove you're "worthy" to even get one which ironically Ford became the pretentious Italian exotic maker (Ferrari) they originally set out to beat. Its like your father was a Noble Jedi and you became a Sith Lord whilst trying to say you are the successor to your father.

So much for that disappointment. at least their's still the new NSX which has yet to flex its true muscles (Type R) and that MR GM is working on.

I like it because the Ford GT is the only supercar europoors and others respect and actually buy.
Also every company needs a halo car.

they had a good reason for that, they wanted people to buy them and keep them, not buy it and flip it which people like to do with special edition/limited edition cars

Your 12v electrical port (cigarette lighter) is in no way connected to your audio system. Even if the front outlet worked it would only charge your phone.

>>17646180
Nope they're building most of their shit in Mexico IIRC.

GM builds shit in Canada too you stupid faggot, nowadays Honda and Toyota are more American than any American manufacturer.

Do you have a single fact to back that up?

Most brakes can bring the wheels to a complete stop instantly if you push your foot all the way down. The problem is the tire then skids across the pavement because the momentum of the vehicle overcomes the friction between tire and road. Have you never seen skidmarks in a movie or safe driving PSA? Are you actually retarded?

>>17646120
lmao this started off so nice and constructive

>>17646120
ive seen skid marks, but are you saying there's no way to just sort of cancel or delete the momentum of the car

>>17645867
why would they? hatchbacks dont sell as well as soccer mom vehicles do

>>17645867
Sometimes it's nice bit not to bottom out on speed bumps

>>17645903
yeah but this is not a soccer mom vehicle. Its literally a sleek compact hatch on stilts

12.5 + 6.25 = 18.75

>>17645880
6.25?

>>17645856
12.5

I've been in two accidents near fatal. But motorcycle accidents are your fault even if it was an accident. You chose to ride it, while laughing at us in our moving cages. I have no pity toward motorcyclers.

BIKES ARE SICK

200MPH ASS OUT HEAD FIRST, JUST YOUR FACE RIPPING THROUGH THE WIND, CLOSEST THING TO FLYING WHILE STILL ON THE GROUND

BUT IF YOU RECK HARD ITS GAME OVER, THAT MILLISECOND BEFORE YOU HIT THE PAVEMENT JUST GIVE UP AND DIE

Lol, mine is opposite. It's an '87 Mercedes 300td that was really well maintained engine-wise and runs great, but got in a sub-20mph crash, so I'll have to do some body work to get it back on the street.
