Peformance fans are a waste of money. They have a steeper pitch on the blades,which in turn puts MORE of a load on the motor thereby ROBBING power!  If you have a heat problem, it's better to make a scoop for the fan inlet ;D |

- $500 for a scrapped car - $120 for plastic rims - $80 for aluminum foil - $100 for gold paint. Ah, it's less worth than a chinese scooter  Probably rusts quite quick too. Probably fades yellow to silver because of the elements Is illegal to ride in some places, there's a treshold on how much reflective surface a car may have. In some states they don't care about the law, but in the majority of the western world, you can't chrome your car, because it reflects headlights, and can blind or confuse drivers at night. It can only be sold in a Ghetto like that... Nowhere else in the civilized world will they sell one like it. Because it's illegal in many places. And if they do sell one, then the owner will have to take it to a body shop and spend extra $$$ to paint it with non reflective paint. You forgot the $40,000 for those ridiculous wheels and tires, and the suspension and body destruction required to mount them |

First off, it's a Camero. Not like it's a good sports car or anything. Not a 'Vette or Pony or even a Firebird. Second, seriously, if you're gonna' bling your car, then might as well do it to the hilt. The whole point of doing something like that is to get attention. And you have to admit, that's gonna' get EVERYONE'S attention! >'Kat The camaro WAS the original pony car. The Mustang was fords attempt to capture the market from GM. Camaros are among the most desireable of the restored classics . Many sell in the 6 figure range |

If there's a silver lining(pun intended) to that build, it's this: At least he did'nt take a classic camaro and rape it!That's a new model. Still plentiful.Even so, in my book, it's a mortal sin to destroy a car like that. |

Because the media does'nt care about responsible, intelligent broadcasting, only ratings and revenue.Just watch any BBC newscast. and you will see how stupid american media has become.  trash heaps like Kanye West and Kim Karadashian get better coverage than real matters of national interest  |

yes, uncover as much of the engine as you can ( or feel comfortable doing). Wipe it down, paying more attention to the area where you see most oil. Leave the seat off, and start the motor on the center stand. Watch carefully and rev the engine a few times. Look all around and pay attention to the hoses.shut it down and inspect it thouroughly. You should find the source ;D

Thanks Leo,
The reason I asked is because I prefer to use this system with the expansion chamber, but I am concerned it won't handle the 50mm BBK & cam I put in the new motor. actually, I'm a bit reluctant to put the new motor in as the factory motor, with a koso variator & sliders is running beautifully. Only complaint is hillclimbing really. But the variator mod improved that too. The motor I built has A 50mm BBK, 50mm head, a9 cam 20mm carb, I got a couple of extra jets (larger),iridium plug,orange coil, The variator (which i put on existing motor) and 50/16 gears.I would like to use the stock airbox & exhaust. (drill airbox if needed) I like the idea of porting the header.

I really wouldn't lose any sleep over it.You should be just fine.Change it when you can get some good gear oil & than, just check it every so often, No Worries mate!!  |

We have one of those Swing bridges in New bedford mass. It's well over 100 yrs old. The mid section has a metal grate roadway. I crossed that bridge on my scooter one time and one time only. NEVER AGAIN! They have cobblestone roads in the historic district too. I stay away from those ;Dand I use nothing but soap and water on my tires. I had to smile when I read you comment. I took the Chesapeake bay bridge on my scoot (also a grate) about 5 miles long and 18 stories up at it's highest point, you'd look down and see the the waves, whitecaps, and salt spray!  Is that the one with a tunnel too? |
