So what is with the girl in with the thigh high boots, cat ears, and miniskirt leopard print dress? :crackup: Just standing there to keep thirsty young Japanese dudes watching the video?

So I watched the video, and that is not Ice Mode. His brakes locked up. That is the opposite of Ice Mode. In Ice Mode, the car thinks it is on ice. The brakes do not lock up. The computer overrides the pedal pressure and keeps the tires turning as if you are braking hard on very slippery...

Ah, that makes sense. This is not something I would ever consider watching, so I would not have noticed, but I am guessing other parents would be all excited about something like that and therefore watched it with their kids or something, and my son heard about Jackson and his music from them...

And all of that is separate from IAT, which you have to keep cool, too.

Whenever we talk about heat things start getting confused. Most folks are talking about intake air temperatures. IAT. That is a product of compressing the air, and it is moderated by some sort of intercooler, usually. So folks will start talking about heat soak because one is on the engine...

My transmission broke! Sorry, sir. You swapped out the subwoofer. The warranty is off. :facepalm:

My first car, a Plymouth Duster, had a small area about five inches across where a carburetor fire had burned the paint off, and a spray painted blue that did not quite match the metallic blue covered it.

That's all great news. Thank you for providing the update.

Depends on your goals. I bought my Dark Horse to drive around to the grocery store. I also bought it to run on the track. Adding a supercharger ruins the car for the track, because the car cannot come close to cooling off the heat produced by 875 horsepower (and no, I am not talking about...

Makes me wonder how many laps I could get at Road Atlanta on E85 before running out of fuel.

Folks are talking about different cars. That was my only point.

🤣 Right?

Ah, dammit. You got my hopes up.

I lost track, are tunes adding 30 horsepower on 93 octane? I thought it was less. Now E85 and a tune should do better than that . . .

One thing to add about tuning, derived only from me looking online and watching Youtube videos: There is usually a larger increase in the torque curve at lower and midrange than at peak. Assuming this is true with your particular car after tuning, you are going to feel that much more easily...

Stupid question follows (and it's ok if you don't know, either): Do these cars have a coolant temperature sensor? If so, where is it?

LOL, my 9 year old son is on a Michael Jackson kick right now. I walked upstairs, and he has Billy Jean playing on Youtube while he was reading something. I'm not even sure how he knew who Michael Jackson was, since nobody in my house really listens to him, but my wife said it is a thing among...

Meaning the less sensitive Pioneer unit?

What was their conclusion? Sorry to ask, but your post is confusing, and "that" is an indefinite indicator.

30 hp is a .2 or .3 reduction in e.t. and a 2-3 mph gain. That's significant. Then add another 30. And another . . . 🤣
