Default My eyes have seen the glory...

Umm... why didn't you guys tell me the Type-R was so friggin sweet? Hello. My new dream car. I may have to go back on the whole twin cam embargo.



Other things I learned today...

-For every pound of boost, you lose a pound of fuel pressure.

-The VTEC cam only affects the intake valves.

What did you learn today?

I learned that my neighbor is swapping a twincharged LS1 into his used-to-be 2004 Police Interceptor Crown Vic...talk about being unloyal to Ford:-D

I knew those hatches were my favorite, but I learned that they came in a "type R" (I did not know that).

VTEC only effects the intake valves in the SOHC, the DOHC it does both, thats why its so much more audible.

Man, you guys need to play Gran Turismo more often.
What did you learn today?
1. De Karte, or however you spell it, was a duellist philosopher belieiving the mind and body had two seperate physical properties. USD young lady at work talking about some paper she had to write.
2. I can xerox copy labels for merchandise rather than wasting printer toner when I have to print over 25 labels.

I knew someone was going to have to make that distinction. I don't have a DOHC so when I say VTEC I am referring to single cam.

And actually Type-R's only come in hatches I think.

Descartes did a lot of drugs.

I learned today that my rims are scheduled to arrive tomorrow. Where will I be... ohh by the time the UPS guy gets around to my neighborhood I should be somewhere just outside Kingsport TN. I also learned that cleaning your engine bay should not be done at home. The UPS automated telephone system doesn't help for sh*t and getting a person on the phone is just as frustrating. I learned that Stoners InvisiGlas can remove 10 years of smoke film from a television. Yeah thats about it.
