Ontopic A Thread About Butt Mustard, For Those Who Drive Automobiles

My Isle of Misfit Toys at work:

Piston #6 from my 300ZX (about 17 psi of compression before I removed it), the sheared shaft from the saginaw power steering pump in my Cadillac, and pistons 1 and 4 from the air conditioning compressor in my 300ZX (cracked and busted rings and ring lands). I keep them around to remind me that failure is always an option.

Let's see your monuments to entropy!

So little clearance. I can't tell if I love it or hate it.

 

[gee]

I wonder how much that affects brake cooling, but it's definitely not my expertise.

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

I wonder how much that affects brake cooling, but it's definitely not my expertise.

There would be a lot of air turbulence anyways, I think there'd be enough convection to perform adequate cooling unless it was a track day.

Hell, its possible that with the right brake pads it could help brake performance.

 

[Jehannum]

I've seen closer.

 

[Jehannum]

Rolled my fenders today, no more rubbing.

 

[Jehannum]

I guess 275 is really too big for the stock fender wells, heh.

Those tires don't belong on the mustang on the right.

 

[Jehannum]

Those tires don't belong on the mustang on the right.

I'll be sure to let him know.

 

[Duke]

Thanks. I appreciate that.

 

[Jehannum]

Thanks. I appreciate that.

You'd have enjoyed the rest of it. It's running a procharged 5L, makes about 550 to the wheels at this altitude.

Dude's day job is mechanicing on fire trucks.

 

[Jehannum]

He goes through about 1.5 T5s a year with that amount of power.

Got another recall notice in the mail for the Fit.

Still waiting on the drivers' side airbag (two years now, dealership is still waiting on parts...) but it turns out the passenger side airbag replaced a year ago is now recalled and has to be replaced.

[Mr. Argumentor]

"IDK the RPM"

cause you're a fucking moron.

I liked how the V8 died the first time.

 

[gee]

Who cares if they don't know the RPM. I'm sure they could count frames and figure it out, but it's not like it's valuable information to know when a lego motor blows up.

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

Yeah, but why even mention it at that point?
Throw it in the comments if people are really giving you shit about it.

 

[gee]

To piss you off. That's why they mentioned it.
