Holy shit RWD is retarded. Fucking slip and slide bullshit. I'd much rather have some control with my understeering instead of this shit.

RWD is better if you want to do burnouts, race at a track, or dominate the togay.
Otherwise FWD is better because it's cheaper, lighter, and better in snow.

How do the air brake pressures work in a truck? All I know is that if you release the brake pipe pressure, the brakes apply, like in a train. What is the full release pressure?

just discovered that the 280Z plastic glove box will fit in a 240Z dash with some finagling. Muuuuch better than the stock cardboard 240Z glove box.

So I want to try and get 300hp out of my '79 ford 302. I know there are some ford guys on here so I was wondering what all I should go about changing? 140 horses out of a 5 litre engine is cutting it for me anymore.

Do engineers design cars these days, or are they all designed by retarded "designers" with an arts degree?

the government designs cars.
>>
The problem is that engineers design cars, not the other way around.
>>
People complained that popular manufacturers were making "boring" or "generic" looking cars, despite this being fine because they were built for a boring purpose: going A to B. So they responded to that complaint without really knowing what to do with their cars, and while having to remain within safety standards.
That's why modern cars are confusingly designed and are shaped like bars of soap.

Hi /o/,
I've been offered a 5000 gallon tank of JP-8 jet fuel for free (the fuel, not the tank itself) with the only condition being that I take it away and store it myself. It's "contaminated," that is it's the test fuel bled from aircraft to check for water in the fuel, etc. No actual contamination besides that and maybe some sediment in the tank.
Is it safe to run a modern car diesel engine on it?

>1. Buy a diesel car for cheap
>2. Test how it runs with that stuff
The risk is rather low when you compare it to the possible gains.
>>
>>14236377
It might run fine in the shitbox for the couple of days I test it, then six months later I find out it's destroyed the internals of my daily drive.
It's a $60000 car, I don't want to fuck it up. I'm getting some mixed answers off Google, some seem to say yes, others say no.
Need some help from the experts, /o/. Free fuel for the next decade would be pretty fucking sweet if it's not going to cost me that much in repairs because of it.

Should be ok, it can't melt the engine's steal beams.
