orange lime posted:I can't figure out how the piston (or whatever) seems to just...materialize in midair. There's a bang and then something appears to shoot out of the side of the gas tank, but there's no leaking gas or visible damage to the bike. It almost seems like it's just some random piece of the intake manifold or something that cracked off when the engine backfired/exploded. Bingo. Some sort of backfire through the intakes because it was running nitrous (can't remember the specifics) that blew the airbox out and the tank off.

Hmmm, there's something not quite right about this photo... Hey, maybe this video will explain it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMN_ydMcvvo Ah, all is revealed.       The bike. What the builder has said happened: quote:Ok so here's what happened. Lack of oil pressure due to the scotts reusable oil filter trying to suck itself inside out. I did an oil change the night before the & found a little bit of poo poo in the filter when I opened it up. Said the famous last words "She'll be right",as I was planing to pull the motor down after the dyno day anyway, to replace a worn output shaft.

I'd put good money on Ford having wrecked a few Raptors in testing with poo poo breaking and decided to engineer some give into the frame and deal with the flak with some bending, rather than getting sued endlessly when morons roll their trucks jumping at 100mph and something actually completely breaks.

CalTrans had just installed a brand new metering light (this was the first day it was up and running) and the car in front of him had just got the green when he cleared the crest. Tell your friend he's a poo poo driver and a danger to everyone on the road in that truck.

Brake failure chat reminds me of the aftermath of one I came across a week or so ago. Pulled up to a red light on the bike, put my foot down and nearly slipped over after I put foot down on what was clearly the backing plate for a brake pad I don't even want to imagine how bad the brakes must've been for the plate to actually fall out on the road whilst stopping.

KozmoNaut posted:Voting CBR1100XX Super Blackbird engine, 140hp should make that little car hustle along pretty well. Alternately a 929 or 954 engine if you can find them would give you 150hp. I'd go 'Busa myself. It's the kit-car-bike-engine of choice, and you can hack and re-program/re-map the standard ECU, unlike a Blackbird motor.

Delivery McGee posted:My friend has a Honda Civic, and is from a mountainous area, so she reflexively puts the parking brake on every time she switches off the ignition. It's rather useless and I've been trying to train her out of it, now that she's in northeast Texas. That loving car will not move with the handbrake on, as I discovered the first time I borrowed it. Sounds like it isn't the handbrake that's useless.
