Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Yet another person on the toyotanation forum has a stalling corolla from topping off the gas tank beyond what the pump stops at. 

 

Don't do that guys. it ruins your EVAP system! 

Yeah, don't go past the first click. Otherwise the charcoal canister gets soaked in gas and has to be replaced. Sometimes a solenoid or sensor can get ruined too.

Plus you look real stupid watching your car puke gasoline all over the place. :(

Well, at least they've done it gracefully. The cars today still look just as good or even better than the cars of yesterday

I'll find a way. By that time someone would (I hope) have invented an alternative to unleaded petrol that just runs in a standard engine with slight modifications. They did it to leaded fuel.

there's always hydrogen gas...

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

But that stuff's pretty explosive if treated incorrectly. Remember the Hindenburg?

Actually i've seen cars run on biomass (cow plops) without much modding

lol really? That's a thing? I'm guessing the methane gas is the explosive part not the plops

Top gear converted a Rover into a biomass fueled car. But yeah, if plops were explosive, we'd be in a wasteland by now lol

IMO, Nissan has had the best looking cars throughout their history.

 

Can we forget about the Nissan Puke?
