I only have 1 acre where we live, but it is enough, he has a nice little route thru our backyard. In the video he was up at my inlaws place in PA, they have a bunch of property.
The go kart has a completely stock predator engine, but it has a torque converter with a huge rear sprocket on it, so...
I built my own, but I probably spent $1000 total including the motor. I spent about $180 in metal alone but I did have some left over. 40' of tubing, plus some flat, angle iron, piece of sheet metal. The cheapest wheel/tire combo you can get is about $35 a rim/tire. I built mine with adjustable...
Standard Vintage Go-Kart Kit
I built my kids one this summer from scratch using 1"x1" square tubing, predator 212 motor, and a torque converter. Motor is totally stock and the thing rips!
A d1sc at 18psi is starting to become pretty inefficient. If you would of spun your F1A94 slow enough to make 860hp it would have been alot closer to your brothers car boost wise I bet.
1300whp with a F1a-94! That blower is so sick.
I just finished building a dart block 400 sbc, ported AFRs...
Of course you could kill the cylinder pressure of a turbo if you pull a bunch of timing at peak torque... that is exactly what I stated about sti motors to keep the pistons/ringlands alive.
No... horsepower is the goal, which means carrying torque as high up in the RPM band as possible.
A...
Blowers do introduce harmonics and sometimes can be hard on the front main bearing. However...
Cylinder pressure for a properly sized turbo is not the same as it is for a blower. A centri blower that makes a peak of 10psi of boost, with no belt slip, and a properly sized blower, will make 10...
Not quite sure why everyone keeps saying turbos are much easier on the motor. Cylinder pressure is the hardest thing on a motor, and with properly sized turbos they create more cylinder pressure than a centri blower for sure. Only thing that usually creates more cylinder pressure is nitrous.
The irony of defunding the police. People across the country will now no longer complain about teachers salary after just having to home school their own kids for a couple months. These same people are now going to get rid of the police!?!?!
I have been suffering from anxiety for 6 years now on/off. I go thru stretches of high anxiety that can last a week or even a couple months and then it usually quiets down for awhile.
To the OP as far as alcohol and anxiety goes...
All alcohol does is borrow tomorrows happiness for today.
This is one of the better posts I have seen on this sight in quite sometime.
When I just got out of college and was starting a job I was looking at a new GTO, but it was juuuuust out of my reach. I could have afforded it but it would have been a bad decision. Fast forward 12 years and I would...
I have an SSR 110 dirt bike that I bought my wife 8 years ago as a pit bike to around the paddock when I was racing motorcycles. Beat the balls off that thing. I have jumped it, trailed it, even converted it to a mini motard for my wife to ride on the go kart tracks. Thing will not die!
The other thing to look at is on a 50,000 vehicle at 5% interest over 5 years you are looking at $5,000 in interest. When I bought my Ram 1500 buying new was cheaper because after the ridiculous rebates new was a few thousand dollars more expensive than used. It was very close to a wash when...
