    Fastest Piston Fighter Of WWII

    What a hot rod. 400+ kts at altitude, right?

    Thank you for yours as well, Blue. I appreciate that. Thoughts and prayers to you, your dad and all who currently serve.

    Fastest Piston Fighter Of WWII

    Not personally - in fact, I'm only 22. Many in my family's previous generation were Cold Warriors in Europe though, split between the Air Force, Navy and Marines. Before that, mostly the Navy in WWII.

    Fastest Piston Fighter Of WWII

    Sorry to hear about your dad - sending good vibes your way. If you don't mind me asking, what branch was he with?

    Fastest Piston Fighter Of WWII

    Wow. Some very, very hairy places to be. What incredible fortune to make it through basically the entire war.

    Fastest Piston Fighter Of WWII

    What do you mean? Requiring your heavy bomber (He 177) to also function as a dive bomber is a totally logical and not at all insane requirement ;)

    Fastest Piston Fighter Of WWII

    I'm a big fan of WWII aircraft as well, thanks for sharing. Haven't gotten a chance to see the surviving Do 335 at Udvar-Hazy but would like to someday. This is a really interesting subject. They were in one sense - developing flying wings, early jet engines, guided bombs, etc with 40's...

    Credit card principal question.

    This is what I do. They’re all out to get you so why not get them first?

    Credit card principal question.

    This exactly. In my understanding, charging things to your card and then paying in full every month is also a good way to build up credit, which is important for a young guy like me who has no credit history but hopes to someday have the credit for a house for my family, newer toys, etc. The...

    Is Redline Good For Your Car's Engine? Italian Tune Up

    Exactly. Maybe I should have been more clear - what I do is roll onto it from cruise (≈1800-2000rpm) up to about 4500rpm, not bounce it off the rev limiter. VTEC comes on between 3500-4300rpm iirc, and I want to make sure that circuit receives oil pressure and actuates regularly to keep it...

    Is Redline Good For Your Car's Engine? Italian Tune Up

    That's a fun way of saying that Atikovi :LOL:. IMO it's a balance, ripping up to redline on every onramp isn't great, but neither is just tooling around town at 1100 rpm all the time. Maybe once a week while driving, once my motor is up to temp I make sure to rev it high enough to get into the...

    Post your latest oil change

    Does yours have the ZF 9-speed or the Honda 10 speed? How do you like it so far? I've heard some reports of rough/notchy shifts and trans replacements under warranty. On topic - as of 2 weeks ago: OUT: Mobil 1 Adv. FS 5W-20 (6 months/5,259 miles old) and Mobil 1 EP filter (11 months/10,959...

    Am I Paranoid? Honda J35 Stripped Drain Bolt

    Makes sense, thanks for the info and video. When I first read "lift the engine up", I had visions of needing to get a real engine lift, etc. But it looks like if I had the van on ramps, I might be able to lift it up enough with just a jack?

    Am I Paranoid? Honda J35 Stripped Drain Bolt

    Gotcha. I'll have to get under it this weekend and take a look. I've been smelling a little bit of oil lately, but it never seems to use any. I wonder if I have a problem down there. Edit: Also, further up in the thread you said something about needing to raise the engine to drop the pan? I...

    Am I Paranoid? Honda J35 Stripped Drain Bolt

    This exactly. It's my vehicle, and only I will touch it because that's the only way to know for sure that a job was done right. And if something breaks or there's a problem, I know it was my fault and I can own it. It doesn't help that my area has a severe shortage of good shops.

    Am I Paranoid? Honda J35 Stripped Drain Bolt

    Good point, I didn't think about the oil pump - as far as I know this one is still the original. No problems as of now but nothing lasts forever, right?

    Sounds like a good plan, Kawi. Thanks for the help

    Am I Paranoid? Honda J35 Stripped Drain Bolt

    Thanks for the link, Hall. The next time I have the pan empty, I'll be able to look at the (new, larger) threads and make a choice about whether I want to stick with the Autozone plug that seems to be holding, install a Fumoto, replace the pan if the threads are really trashed, etc.
