first for why do people care about suits, gloves, boots n shit?
all I care about is not being paralyzed (which is coincidentally pursued in the same way as trying not to die, but idc about that) if I lose a foot idc, if I lose a hand it wouldn't have been safe with a glove on, if I lose skin it grows back
the only things apart from helmet and back protection that I can approve are knee shields because knees are utter crap and if they break for good you're totally fucking fucked

ITT: dumb ideas

ICE powered supercharger. Basically, you strap a small motorcycle engine just to compress air for the big main engine. Imagine like 250cc twin cyl motorcycle engine feeding a 8 liter V10 or 10 liter V12. It could weight less than turbos and make a shitload of power if tuned correctly.

You can't supercharge a car with ice, dumb ass

Similar idea to cylinder deactivation. What if a car has two straight six engines right next to each other. You can choose to have one or both engines on.
>>
>>17610476
Using more than one engine on the road is illegal (surprisingly they bothered to come up with that law) that's why bike derived V8s exist, they can share one crank.

I recently bought a 2007 Golf GTI, and it came with this remote. I have no clue what it is or what it does, or how to look it up, wondering if anyone knows or can help me!

>>17609719
Its probably for whatever sound system it has/had in it. Congrats on the GTI, may it bring you many miles of joy
>>
>>17609732
I understand, but it doesn't seem to work, and I can't look it up, since I don't know what the remote is called.

I know that probably none of you ever came across engine like mine, but all and all engines are pretty the same.
So i have this 3 cylinder turbocharged suzuki engine. K6A. They put them in a lot of their kei cars and recently caterham started to put them into their base model Seven.

Engine is restricted to 64 hp as kei car laws require. I am quite ok with how it drives and all i just wish i had it easier when going uphill. There is one guy who did some expensive mods and got 108 hp out of same engine, but i don't have that kind of money. Caterham version of engine produces around 84 hp or so.

Engine is full stock with only rear half exhaust being stainless supertrapp fart can. There are no one to punish me for "illegal" engine modification here, so i can go as retarded as i want to. I just don't want it to affect engine durability too much. So i tend to leave stock filter. I do change oil quite often, 2150 miles or so.

So we have here small 0,66 liter turbocharged engine. Will cutting out cat help much? Or will it only work if i do full straight exhaust made out of wider pipe including exhaust manifold?

The most obvious way would probably be raising turbine pressure? I just don't want it to be too much stress for engine.

Just want to hear your opinions.

need advice for my first car /o/, ive read the sticky but im still lost


I have like $3-4k, and basically have 2 options, get a cheap car off craigslist or one from carmax that would
be around $10k and would then require monthly payments as well as the down payment

im mainly seeking advice for the first option since its what im leaning towards/would prefer, but im
also curious as to what the monthly cost would be on it(maintenance and other needs)

leaning towards pic related, or another cheap and easy to maintain car, that would take me from point a to b,
and be automatic(yeah i know), but any other first time buying advice would be appreciated, thanks

local craigslist is https://nashville.craigslist.org/search/cta

If you want an automatic, you don't want a Honda. They're KNOWN for failing. Instead, look for a Nissan Maxima, Chevy Cavalier/Pontiac Sunfire, Ford Taurus/Mercury Sable, or Toyota Corolla

>>17609335
long time indy fan and this idea sounds like it was dreamed up by a teenager.

don't get me wrong kid i had an overactive imagination as well, but i guess i didn't have an outlet to share the nonsensical things that popped in my head.

going into the air is bad, staying on the ground is good. if this happened people would die.

I've always wanted to do that but with go kart. I'm bumping your thread to update the possibility of someone posting a kit/schematic? All the kits I've googled are like, really crappy slow or children's karts. Looking for legitimate track capabilities.
