You reap what you sow.
What didn't go wrong? He probably way overestimated the amount of space he had to make his pass, but even so he still had room to get back over... except instead of getting out of oncoming, he just slammed on the brakes.
And apparently nobody was wearing a seat belt.

Hello guys, kind of a noob to the operation of vehicles, but I had a thought I wanted some opinions on.
As you all know, Chevy v8 motors run 2 valves, which limits the amount of air that can flow through. Would it be possible to engineer a head with a 4 valve set up? Maybe some kind of forked rocker arm to push both valves while still maintain the single pushrod? Would there be any performance benefit?
>>15629111
The two valves are big as fuck. More valves lets slightly more air for the same size of head, but mostly lets you rev higher and faster.
>>15629111
It would be a lot of engineering / cost and you'd be better off putting that into the intake and exhaust manifolds for better breathing
>>15629111
Having a single pushrod and lifter open up two valves (i.e. compress two springs) would probably destroy the roller on the lifter and eat the camshaft. I think any performance benefit of additional airflow from a 4 valve like that would not be worth the extra valvetrain complexity and strain. Buy a coyote engine.

Being at the front is satisfying as is. But being in a whole queue that knows not to fuck about is even better, especially when most of the time when you're behind someone they'll go 60 the whole way up into the 100 zone.

Just bought a new car, and I live being able to race and keep up with motorcycles on the highway now. Extremely satisfying when all you're used to driving is economy cars. Also slamming through the gears is fun.

This happens EVERY FUCKING TIME i go anywhere.
Maintain speed and control and angle my rearview and side view mirrors so he gets his own headlights back in his face.
Redpill me on the Mini BMW /o/. They look and sound fun, but I heard they have serious problems.
>>15628426
If you buy one and are not a girl then you should just off yourself and save God the trouble.
I owned a mini before. They are fun as hell and great too own but old generation do give some issues
So if ur going to get one get the New gen 2014+
They are more expensive but the quality is better and they finally got a proper bmw engine in them with turbo.
>>15628426
They look and sound fun, but that's where the positives end. The handling and acceleration is known to be numb and it doesn't have the same luxuries of a BMW at a comparable price point.
hey b/o/ys
so i bought this 85 f-150 for 700 bucks. brakes dont work until the pedal is almost all the way in, but i'm taking it to a shop to figure out that issue.
my main problem is that there is OIL EVERYWHERE. all over the motor, in the carb filter, on the frame, etc. what could be causing it? it's got the 302 5.0.
also pickup general
>>15628294
Post more my man. Looks really clean. This is mine. Bought it from a friend of mine for 900, which made me feel really bad because he was selling it for 1500 and dropped the price for me.
>'96 with '94 302 engine
Check all the seals and gaskets on the block to see if there is any sort of leakage. My engine isn't carbed, so I'm not familiar with it.
>>15628294
I'd honestly guess cracked power steering hose spraying fluid everywhere.
Common issue.
>>15628342
its not that clean- seats are ripped to shit and its rattlecan painted black. frame is solid though, which is a nice thing.
i'll have to ask the guys at the shop (read: chief of my fire dept) if he notices anything when its on the lift.
my dad keeps yelling at me to get it out of the driveway and that he would buy me a newer f-350 but i really like this hunk of shit. also insurance is just over 100 a month which is nice.
Hey guys, I been in the market for a 2016 Camaro ss/ mustang gt. And I'm even thinking of waiting for the 2018 Subaru sti. " I used to own a 06 sti and sold it" this are the 3 cars I been debating in buying. Last week I went to the Toyota dealer and a saw the new Tacoma Trd off road and I really like to the point that I want to buy it now. I just don't know. Have this shit ever happen to any of you?
I just don't want to regret my purchase
The Tacoma have a manual transmission
Depends on what you want it for.
The new Tacomas are super fucking comfy, and have infinitely more utility than the Camaro or GT will. But unless you're doing outdoors activities, it'll be less fun. Without a doubt it'll last longer than both, and it'll hold value more.
I'm biased though. I'm debating between getting a Canyon or Tacoma myself.
buy a civic and save your monkey fuck wad
this is a non issue, you do not need to buy something you dont want, it sounds like you just want to buy a car for the sake of it.
How do you feel about the Volkswagen Scirocco, /o/? Especially the later years.
>>15628159
They don't even make this car anymore! Whos key could this possibly be?
Good looking, good handing cars with very direct feel. Slow, unreliable and increasingly an artifact of an age long past.
what about corrado vr6
it was my pick for amateur rallyx but couldnt find any examples
Apologize.
>>15628077
the guy is a real try hard stancefag too.
I've seen him arguing with 60+ yr old men on miata.net about how his car definitely does not rub and definitely handles well.
Stance is the worst thing to happen to automotive culture since the Honda Civic

Are those multi rearview mirrors gud or just rice?
Saw some at vatozone while looking for something else and I'm morbidly curious.
>>15628060
I would also like to know this...
bump
What's the difference between multi-rearview and the wide angle curved panoramic ones?
I've also been curious about both. Can you see enough to make the mirrors on side pointless? Anyone a diehard fan or are they all just slightly better than stock, a nice-to-have rather than a must?
What went wrong, /o/?
your mom.

Nothing. It's cool.

My friend owns one and I'm jealous, this is the perfect light truck where you haul people more than you haul wood.
