You know they make these cool things called Jack stands right?

Meth-injected, caged, matte black BMW 1M going in for a real carbon roof... by Kettle85in cars

[–]turabaka 5 points6 points ago

it's methanol injection actually. It's injected into the intake charge to decrease intake temps allowing you to advance your timing more, and making for a denser air charge.

What trivial act would you like to ban or make illegal? Personally, I would like to outlaw public speakers who start off by saying, "I can't hear you!" or "Let's try that again!" by danger_mcboomin AskReddit

[–]turabaka 2 points3 points ago

Let's be honest if the most interesting thing about you is that you had an extremely common illness, that almost everyone will have at some point in their lives then your life is actually pretty dull.

Am I the only one who did this in Sims? by ReigningTierneyin gaming

[–]turabaka 1 point2 points ago

If you put in a typo at the end then you can just hold down the enter key and continue to enter the cheat without having to retype anything

something like rosebud !;!;!;!;!;!;1 would work nicely

Cracking a couple of eggs for breakfast, when suddenly.. by Nuvoletta180in WTF

[–]turabaka 6 points7 points ago

It's also tasty. I compare it to a cross between a hard boiled egg, and smoked duck.

What Pavlovian response have you developed accidentally? by jonathansayreallenin AskReddit

Whenever my girlfriend gets depressed she always cries it out for a little while, and then gets extremely horny afterwards. Now whenever she cries I get an automatic hard on.

Guys gets put in a coma for complimenting a guys wheels :| by therynosaurin Autos

[–]turabaka 1 point2 points ago

And this would be why I tend to avoid honda owners. You guys always have to bash other peoples cars. You don't even know anything about mine, and you still just assume it's a grandma car.

Guys gets put in a coma for complimenting a guys wheels :| by therynosaurin Autos

[–]turabaka 4 points5 points ago

agreed. I tend to avoid Honda owners like the plague. If they own a Honda newer than 1990, or a crx of any year I tend to just avoid them. I have an 88 Accord btw, and the number of times I get asked if it's VTEC just kills me.

Reddit Drivers, when someone flashes their head lights at you what do you think they mean? by little_lostin AskReddit

[–]turabaka 0 points1 point ago

where I live it's also used to signal that there's a deer, elk, or moose in the road ahead.

Forbes ranks Boise the #2 place in the country to raise a family by eatingacookiein Boise

[–]turabaka 1 point2 points ago

That one I don't have an answer for. Maybe the school rankings for all combined schools average higher? ie, other cities have 1 or 2 good schools and some really shitty ones. whereas all of ours are pretty similar in quality. Just an idea.

[–]turabaka 4 points5 points ago

Did I read that completely wrong? It looked to me like it was giving a ranking out of 100 major cities. Putting us 1st out of 100.

New world record for drag bikes! Insane Hayabusa by Timwisein motorsports

[–]turabaka 0 points1 point ago

That article is about the quarter mile run. It says in the article that the bike ran a 4.531 1/8th mile and a 6.9 1/4. They're the same run.

quote from article:

“The bike launched hard and carried the front wheel far longer than I expected. When it finally touched down I knew I was in for a good run.” A “good run” indeed; at the eighth-mile mark he ticked off an incredible 4.531 at 171.03 MPH as he fought to keep it in the groove.

When the scoreboard lit, the crowd went wild as a 6.90 @ 203.06 MPH flashed before the spectators.

isn't that the same bike?

edit: actually isn't that the exact run that the article is talking about?

Front wheel drive shift linkages. Swap to rear? by darthserisin Autos

[–]turabaka 0 points1 point ago

So you're using the transmission as a sort of transfer case and running the cv's to a front and rear diff?

[–]turabaka 0 points1 point ago

Can I ask why you're using a fwd transmission like this instead of going with a rwd transmission out of something like an s2000?

Continuously Variable Transaxle (CVT) Operation by 68Cadillacin Autos

[–]turabaka 1 point2 points ago

Why not? I know a guy that runs a snowmobile motor with a snowmobile cvt transmission in his tube chassis race car. It's easily one of the fastest things I've ever seen, and he doesn't have to bother shifting gears.

Was anyone else as excited for this as I was? by Lake29in gaming

[–]turabaka 0 points1 point ago

I'm not sure. I always thought it was somewhere in Spain. I do remember seeing a bunch of pictures of girls dressed exactly like that being gas station attendants. I just can't for the life of me find the pictures.

video of station attendant. notice the uniform is the same color as the pumps.

Also Oregon requires gas station attendants by law. You aren't allowed to pump your own fuel. So the last time I saw one would have been when I went to Oregon with my girlfriend for her orientation.

actually she's the gas station attendant. I remember seeing more pics somewhere else, but can't for the life of me remember where.

454 supercharged big block in an Acura. by 68Cadillacin Autos

[–]turabaka 0 points1 point ago

I would love to. I'm a little worried about long distance driving such an uncomfortable car again, but if I have the time and money next time one rolls around I'll probably try to show up.

[–]turabaka 0 points1 point ago

loool. There's some vids floating around of some autox last season. I'm just way to lazy to make a build thread on 3geez. For now here's some pictures of them though. http://imgur.com/a/LDjFL#0

As soon as I up to r1 carbs I'll be selling this setup. manifold, carbs, extra jets. hopefully as a bundle to another 3geez memeber since it'll be bolt on for them.

[–]turabaka 0 points1 point ago

they're 34mm. I'll be upping to yamaha r1 carbs pretty soon here, and they're 40mm. 700cfm holley has venturis that are 1.25 inches which is smaller than my current setup.

I will agree that they're nowhere near as big as the ones on that acura, but they're definitely not that small either.

I run quad bike carbs on my accord. It's not as bad as you'd think. I live in Idaho. Just use a block heater on the super cold days, and the rest of the time it just takes a couple pumps of the gas and a pull of the choke cable.
