You don't have Italian lineage somewhere Glenn? That's how they view speed limits, as just a suggestion. The cops do too.

Mine did it again. It seems to happen when I'm working on something switching the ign on/off a few times. Battery was at 12v, charged it overnight and it has happy little cells now.

No son, that's the minimum limit.

What do you mean?

Just say it costs no more than her last bag.

Someone drive a stake through the heart of this thread, before sunset.

I had red on my Leon Cupra, the look is worth a bit of extra scrubbing. Jeez, I love that Adriatic Blue. If I get tempted to change, it'll be for that. And red calipers.

I think that's for track days now. I see they've put movable track pass barriers on track for Touristenfhartenen (?), must be getting a lot of punters.

It's a different world now. Not always for the better

My dealer has just swapped to Castrol, the person I spoke to didn't know which grade.🙄 I don't want sewing machine oil in my car.

I didn't mean they were using it. Just that it is another alternative charge cooling option that does tend to lower combustion chamber temps too. It also gave me 1 psi boost increase through denser air/fuel mix. Thousands of WW2 piston engines can't be wrong :wink:

You are mistaking rotational inertia for friction. Friction is also known as drivetrain losses, all the bearing friction, oil drag, I suppose even the wind resistance of the clutch or torque converter spinning absorbs power. Even the rolling resistance of tyres on the rollers, or road, absorb...

It's like those space heaters aka OLED TV's

How? They can't lower friction, they don't create torque, how can they add power at steady state running? As I said, they allow quicker acceleration (less inertia) that feels like more power. Run an engine on an engine dyno at 6000 rpm with and without a flywheel, see what happens.

It always pays to get a proper load test one when there's recurrent battery issues. Some things don't show up until there's serious current draw.

I disagree, they lower rotational inertia allowing quicker acceleration up to speed, but at steady state running they cannot add power.

There's always water/methanol injection too. I ran it upstream of a Sebring (roots) blower, because I didn't have an intercooler, for several years without an issue.

Winter in Czech Republic?

It can be tough in retail. When I was at the Harley shop a customer bought back a Tail pack he'd bought about a month before. He wanted a refund becuse it was "no good" He'd "never used it". So I checked it out, it had old mud stains right up the back, all the crap off the back wheel. So I...

I liked the Czech guy telling Misha he should have bought a US spec car. I'm glad ours are, just with RHD.
