"If you're serious about intentially shooting flames out of your exhaust, why the hell would you even care if it's legal? If you care about something that trivial you shouldn't be too worried about the risk of a ticket. Rx-7's notoriously shoot flames with anything other than stock exhaust and I rarely hear of people getting tickets, even though the flames can't be controlled. If you could turn the shit off with a switch I wouldn't worry about it. Pull the system out for inspection. "

here's the kicker of the day:

"Holy shit. I'd love to see you pull these calculations from anywhere near your ass, or anyones ass for that matter. Energy isn't an instantaneous quantity. So to say the "energy it collected", without giving a time unit, would run a car for 20 minutes is quite possibly the most assinine thing I have heard in awhile."

god dammit typea, you too, if you dont know what the hell you're talking about, then just stfu

batteries cannot store infinate amounts of energy, so yes, the is no limit to how long you let it charge, its not gonna last long before it runs out of juice

100w m^2 * 15% effeiciency * 9 m^2= 135 watts

12v x 60a= 720 watts
12v x xa= 135 watts 11.25a

your battery is losing 48.75 a/h at highway speed with a 9m^2 solar panel, doesnt take a genious to figure out that aint gonna run long

another post of brilliance from TypeA

"Give me a fucking break, if you have to undo anything other than the spark plugs to get to the spark plugs, thats a pain in the ass. Who gives a shit if you work on cars for a living, undoing motor mounts and rolling the motor forward to get at some punk assed spark plugs is a PAIN IN THE ASS"

7/21/2005 4:07:09 PM

well i can change the clutch in my mustang in 45 minutes, so obviously you can do it in your honda in that amount of time...

As a former #1 garage idiot, I'm going to have to agree with TypeA that hassling with motor mounts is a pain in the ass when one is just trying to change spark plugs

I've changed plugs on my 7, on several inline 4 cylinders (Corollas and the like), and a transversely mounted V6 (6g72). Pulling an intake plenum off just for rear plugs is a hassle, but a Northstar Cadillac has got to be worse.

"It is kinda cool and all to be a big dog on the street I guess if that is what floats your boat. But to me it seems pretty pointless to dump all that money in a neon when you can get a beater body, strip it and make it light, spend a nice sum of money on classic v8 (add nitrous if you want), put some big slicks on it, and go out and run 8s. Sure you don't get that little ego boost from beating some guy on the street, but I would rather run 8s than 11s. About the only thing that the street car wins over the non street legal drag car (in regards to speed) is you are stuck doing 1/4s in the drag car. "

OK, WHICH ONE OF YOU FUCKING IDIOTS HAS ACTUALLY CHANGED PLUGS ON A NORTHSTAR, OR ANY OTHER GM FWD MOTOR THAT USES THE SAME PROCEDURE??? what? neither of you? that's what i thought. it's pretty damn bad when you make statements like that in a thread like this

7/21/2005 4:45:52 PM

I gotta agree with Ivan on this one. It's nothing to fuck with engine mounts. Just about everybody with a '90's model GM car with a 3.1/3.4 HAS to take an engine mount loose to change a serp belt.

There's nothing quite so easy as removing a torque strut on a GM car to rock the engine forward. Hell, on a lot of 'em, it makes taking that last bellhousing bolt between the engine and the tranny that much easier.

I've put engines in tons of vehicles (don't have much Northstar experience, more 4.1/4.5/4.9 experience) and so what?
