Let's not just forget that the GST holiday and a $250 cheque both will have inflationary effects. It never ends with these Liberals. I remember when the party wasn't just cynically robbing us blind.

Beautiful car!

I had to tell a guy that runs a reasonably active Discord group to stop telling people to only use their back brake forefully and with a good deal of anger after he related it to a couple of newbie riders who might think someone like that knows their stuff. I told him they'd get someone killed...

Lithium hand drill that uses the same battery as my chainsaw and weed eater... wicked. It has as much torque as my plug-in drill.

I saw the post about a Scrambler windshield... oddly I spent 1/2 hour on one at the Cherohala this year and really enjoyed it. I ran out of tire and scared the @#$& out of myself but that was a rider error ☠️ Anyway, garage stuff... this was yesterday's project. I got back a considerable...

Yes and no. I love my car, I bought it as plain-looking as you can get one. If you really know me, I do enjoy that other people enjoy it (steady line of people taking pictures of it yesterday downtown Kingston while I had some beers with a buddy of mine) but I sure didn't engineer it and I...

Here's the press release. I didn't see this coming but I've been told that this will likely be a positive change for grassroots racing in Ontario. https://super-series.ca/2024/11/12/race-moto-ca-acquires-super-series/

That's WAYYYY too much power, so it's perfect.

If it blows your hair back, that's all it exists for anyway. Cheers.

Car wars. 690hp/700tq ... and 7.4L/100km at 90kph. :D Not a hint of boost at that speed.

I daily it during the months where there's no salt on the road. It gets use in light snow, rain etc. when I'm in the mood. The 911 Turbo (and Turbo S) have been AWD since the 993 (1993-ish). It's "good" AWD in that it is highly rear-biased and it's possible to slide the rear of the car...

Eh, I used to supercharge smallblocks with no intercooler (or aftercooler) and push 8-9 PSI, good for around 500hp at the wheels in that application with supporting mods (exhaust, etc.)

Right in all cases except that I decided not to do them straight in for a few reasons - A) I really have no desire to mix them and yes I know that I could turn the volume of the ones I'm not using to 0, B) I had all the equipment in question, and C) the amp is not pushing any power to the mixer...

I've been remiss. I added a 1960 watt loudspeaker system along with all my old stereo gear to my workshop. Now I have enough sound pressure in there to make myself completely deaf (not kidding, rated at 127db at one meter at full power). I filmed a brief video of it from the day I got it...

Downtown Kingston today. Turbos loving 13C air. Hope everyone got out either in their sporty car or on their bike. I spotted a couple of friends today on their ADV bikes, South Frontenac Cruisers having their BBQ just a few houses down from me tomorrow.

I drive my car pretty much anywhere including the Cataraqui mall. Just takes some planning where to park to avoid door dings. FYI I'm not parked on much of an angle in this shot, the rear is a pretty good amount wider than the front. As for power, I find that nearly 700hp is a nice way to...

There are some good, and not so expensive fixes for the IMS issue. The best one absolutely bathes that bearing set in high pressure oil. It's unfortunate that this issue has been a problem. Fortunately I have a 9A1 which is an evolved Mezger motor, and it will survive just about anything...

This bike is owned by a fellow in Texas, so probably not.

185hp/105tq even better. :D Just about right, in my opinion. Leave traction control on. ;) That said one of the best times I had at Deal's Gap was on a CBR 250RR. 18K redline, I seem to remember... but it was panting for breath at that point. That bike fit into those corners like a hand...

The thing is, that extra 20%+ RPM range of the 600 at similar power output (at the wheel) would mean you could gear the 600 20% steeper, and that translates to a similar amount more torque (20% more torque) delivered to the tire at the same road speed. There's more to acceleration than just a...
