You're either a liar or don't know the facts. Tesla borrowed once on an energy dept. loan made available to OEMs that qualify. People like to say bail out but they were never bailed out. Tesla then paid back the loan early with interests, and, possibly early penalties. GM got bailed out and...
You don't need to sign its praises to me. I love mine. But there were some oversight in implementation. And while it did well (especially for its price), it was not dominant. E.G. the Supra (I hate that thing) 2JZ motor was built like a rock. Ppl boosted the crap out of it and not a...
Except for the 2008 M156 6.3L. It was designed with a faulty head bolt. It stretches and allows coolant to seep into the block causing hydrolock without warning (personal experience). They replaced the bolts, didn't tell service to notify owners, and when it blew, tell owners "well, if only...
My 1st car was a 77 Civic and I owned nothing but Civics for a bit (81 , 87) then 89 CRX Si. Loved the old Hondas...had nothing but them (88 Prelude 4WSi, 93 Prelude (forgot which model but had the VTEC-yo thing), 91 Integra. Hondas are great to drive!
That may have been what you perceived but that's not how it can happen. It's all in the dyno graph. The 1st turbo gets out of breath when the vac lines start to open the gate to the 2nd one. So it dips a bit before both power up to 8k rpm. That's also why lots of inexperienced owners spin...
That's not entirely true. In theory, the sequential twins is supposed to allow a more linear band but, in reality, it went to 4500rpm then dipped when the plumbing spooled the second turbo. That drop and subsequent ramp up in power caught a ton of unexpected owners off guard. Ahem. Going...
Sadly, my Cayenne is too old to have the Burmester as an option. The Bose is OK but nothing to brag about. I think with the optional cost for the Burmester, I should have just added on aftermarket components. It's easier to tie into the CANBUS or other OEM system to integrate fully. Even a...
The kit comes pre-cut into 3 parts. IIRC, the outer ring goes around the front of the speaker; outside and not over the mounting holes. The middle ring goes on the back. And the inner circle goes on the door to kill off some standing wave. They have double-sided adhesive so one just sticks...
Sorry, I have to interject. MDF is a no-no for car doors. People use HDPE or other plastic since it won't absorb moisture. Same deal with spray foam. There are other brands of dampening besides Dynamat (they were the originator but lots of alternatives). Applications to outer door skin and...
I believe the people who inspected it says it still transfers heat effectively even when it's dried out or absorbed into the heatsink. Delidding is too scary a proposition for me. I see lots of Conductonaut application over the stock IHS. I guess one can slather on some Conformal Coating to...
FWIW, a lot of gamers/overclockers use Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut for better heat transfer: https://www.thermal-grizzly.com/produkte/25-conductonaut
It is liquid metal so it has excellent heat transfer property but it's very running and is conductive. So careless application will short...
