Haha, I think I took it from 25sec to 23 who knows...

I built a "TT" Subaru Legacy in 2 hours: http://videos.streetfire.net/video/08f9a6a5-566f-40e1-a330-5ef28fa7057f.htm "TT" = Trunk turbo... Its only pushing like 1psi so far, got leaks to fix.. Please keep in mind this is just sh1ts n giggles.... Nothing serious, just a silly experiment. More to come..

If you are talking about MY last one, yes, it is Italian..

Yep

nope

You COOOOUULD go to Wally world and get some 100% naphthalene mothballs. Actually, from what I read, naphthalene has a octane rating of about 90. So waaaay back in the day, the mothball trick would work on crappy 60-70 octane gas, but with modern fuels, it may actually LOWER the octane.

Here's a good one:

Got a version without music? Not that there is anything wrong with the music, but I want to hear that motor!

LOL, I was going to post a BRM V16 photo, but you beat me to it

I think I found it... ~1953 Ferrari 250 V12? http://www.autodrome-cannes.com/ferrari_250_mm_engine_1953_s.jpg

My 92 Legacy (FWD, 5spd) averaged 31.8mpg the entire trip from WV to Utah. Averaging about 80mph, 90+ through wyoming... 195,000 miles and climbing fast

Not quite... "When this baby hits 88mph your gonna see some serious ****" -Doc Brown

I think you're right on the constant acceleration. However i get 23hours and change when I use the following equation to figure distance with constant acceleration: D = .5(Vf+Vi)T D=distance Vf = final Vel. Vi = Initial Vel. T=time

I think you misunderstood me. A train that accelerates instantly from 75-->80mph at the first second of the hour will travel FURTHER in that hour, than the train that accelerates gently from 75-->80mph during the entire hour.

Im in a debate in a training class at work. Here is the given problem, WORD FOR WORD: "A train is travelling from boston to los angeles at 75mph and increasing its speed 5mph every hour. It left boston at 3am, what time will it get to LA." Assume the distance is 3000 miles, and you do figure the -3hr time difference. Seems simple enough. Others in class came up with answers and gave equations, etc. However, I feel this is unsolvable, because we do not know the rate of acceleration of the train during the hour, other than average over the hour. So, the train could accelerate instantly at each hour, it could be accelerating constantly, or it could take 2 minutes to get from 75-->80mph. A train that accelerates instantly at each hour would get further than the train that was constantly accelerating. Any math buffs around that can help me out?

If anybody here has computer junk laying around, most harddrives contain a pair of kidney shaped Neodymium magnets... Strong enough to give blood blisters if they pinch you just right. I have also personally rigged a pair to a harness, and proved in a friend's science fair experiment, that they can hold 160+lbs off the ground. So rip apart bad or old drives, and you've got your self oil magnets for free... Another note... Neodymium magnets are very brittle, make sure they arent located in a place that will get a lot of shock or vibration. They also tend to lose like 50% of there strength after several months of heating up and cooling down in an engine. I replace my magnets at every oil change because of this

Just happened to run into this vid on streetfire: http://videos.streetfire.net/hottestvideos/0/F11CFA5A-0121-4092-AC7D-2D6318B48E4D.htm 3rd car on dyno.... few 300z's too apologies if this is a repost

Here is the page with more pics, and a vid of it running 10.489: http://sanyarcomotorsports.com/flyswithjunk.html

Mine is smaller built from pieces of a runt bike, 31cc ryobi engine, and goped wheels http://videos.streetfire.net/player.aspx?fileid=A59B6BEA-F236-49EE-BC97-CB855AD6EFBE ....although yours has a much smaller motor.. holy crap, think it has enough power to take you?

Here's a great one: http://www.fuelchief.com/ $150 for 6 stickers that you place on the fuel tank.... Check out the science behind this one: "The fuel chip is placed into an “accelerator†which charges it with photons. Photons are infinite and continue to provide energy without any additional exposure to the “acceleratorâ€. They are then placed into the energy elevation chamber to further elevate and energize the fuel chip. When the device is located at the bottom of the fuel tank the radiance emanating from the chip elevates the frequency of the sub atomic-particles in the fuel and hence results in a more complete fuel burn " I've actually reported this company to the FTC

Depending on what kind of kart it is (Shifterkart vs huge offroad machine), you MIGHT be able to ship it via UPS.. I've shipped some pretty large and heavy packages before, for less than you'd think. UPS has the cheapest prices on larger packages. If its a shifter kart, remove the seat, wheels, steering wheel, and motor, and you can probably squeeze it into a UPS allowable sized box. Then just ship the rest in seperate boxes. I shipped this: in 3 boxes, ended costing about $150 total from WV to UT
