    A replacement for displacement

    For a given engine weight where you wanted to design the engine to make the absolute most power and torque...would you: 1. super/turbocharge it or 2. have larger displacement? Remember both engines would have to weigh the same.

    Your income to cars' worth ratio?

    Let's say my cars can sell today for about $20k total. They are paid off. I plan to keep them for 20 years and give them to charity or the junk yard after the 20 yrs service. Let's assume zero worth after 20 yrs service. So that is $20k/20yrs = $1k /yr Let's say my salary is $100k/yr So my...

    Italian design + German Engineering = Audi R8

    Although I love Audi technology, I have never been a fan of their supercar styling. I am sure the R8 is awesome tech-wise. However,, on the outside, it looks like a Nissan beat Audi to the punch, it looks like a glorified Z. My all time favorite wagon is the A3 with the dual clutch...

    Your income to cars' worth ratio?

    This is a CAR FORUM...so I want to know about car enthusiasts spend on their cars. For example, if I were at my home theater forum, I would ask how much their home theater costs relative to their income. Perhaps a "net worth" to "car worth" ratio might be a fun statistic too.

    Idea for a VVT/VTEC engine in a truck...

    Anything with variable valve timing and lift will have a similar or superiour effect compared with VTECH with only two lobes. BMWs variable valve lift and timing is so versitle and advanced that those engines don't even need a throttle body...it just reduces the valve lift when you want to...

    Do you more Rock? Hip Hop? or Country?

    A lot of us here enjoy listening to many types of music. But what is the type of music you listen to MOST? Rock? Hip Hop? Pop? Country? Classical? etc... I like all the above but sadly to say I listen to POP most of the time.

    Timken Machine Testing

    Please include Auto-RX in the testing. Semantics aside, although Auto-RX is not considered and oil additive by its inventor, in an engine, it is poured into the same hole that the oil is poured into.

    Why is mixing gear oils bad?

    If the cocktail improves shifting, then use it. The only unknown would be the long term wear characteristics but I think that since all three ingredients are from major companies, there will be very little chance of accelerated wear.

    Where is that ATF change calculator?

    Where is that transmission fluid calculator? I recall there was an xls sheet that told you how many transmission fluid changes you needed to do to get a certain percentage new fill. Do you know where I can find it? I tried the search but couldn't find it. Thanks!

    800 miles in with ARX got a ticking noise

    From a marketing perspective, I don't think Frank wants to state in the FAQ that his product can cause temporary additiona noises. I am sure Frank would have already put it into the FAQ if he had that desire. Perhaps Frank can put add a FAQ that sounds positive like this: Question: Will...
