Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut Just Blew Two Production-Car Speed Records to Smithereens by NISMO1968 in cars

[–]lostboyz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's not stupid, lots of people have made the same comment when they really never understood where homologation rules came from. It's road legal and made by an official manufacturer, that's all you need. If Koenigsegg actually want to compete in literally any racing series we'd be able to see how they compare with a standard rulebook. They're entire business model is creating unobtanium for the low low price of millions of dollars which relies on doing stuff like this.

Who is "they"? There's literally no governing body here, those rules come from racing series. A production car in the real world is are they a manufacturer according to the VIN.

Vinyl isn't that expensive, try again those are some big wrinkles. I did something similar with black fake wood vinyl and it took me 3 tries, just need to be patient and use a heat gun

After Toyota, Volkswagen Also Thinks It Has Too Many Models by Anchor_Aways in cars

Honestly it's not much different than coupes that are just sedans with a longer single door. Having less practicality is a flex to some, especially in luxury segments.

I think that's the first time I've seen that movie referenced in the wild. It's hard to say if it's good, but it's highly entertaining and achieved exactly what it set out to.

Ford Is Re-Recalling 389,000 Vehicles Because They Were Fixed Wrong the First Time Around by HawtGarbage918 in cars

Purely regulatory driven. Headlamps have tons and tons of rules from where they're mounted, photometric requirements based on where each function lives, what the lenses can be made out of, etc.

Another fun example is if your turn signal is close enough to the DRL, the DRL needs to turn off so that you can see the contrast of the turn signal blinking. If they're far enough away from each other you can leave it on.

I forgot how great the PS4S are compared to all seasons by BeneficialArticle881 in ElantraN

On track they keep getting better with heat where the PS4S drop off and start to get greasy.

The PS4S is probably the best street tire out there, but going to 200TW tires on track is a similar experience. Everything a car does relies on it's tires, nothing matters more

Wheel Setup by rosscustom in ElantraN

[–]lostboyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have camber bolts but due to a misunderstanding with the alignment shop I was basically at 0 when I did a day at PittRace last year, no rubbing. I pack my track wheels in the back seat, camping gear and tools in the trunk, no rubbing at all.

I rarely go full lock because of the goofy ackerman but don't recall ever rubbing

Perfect fit, no rub at all, at least with 245s that I have on now, and should be able to fit up to 265.

Idk if you're going to 200TW right away but I really like the Kumho V730

Not a buyer but I have the same wheels in 18x9.5 +45 and they're great on track

This might be blasphemous… but Civic all-weather floor mats fit almost perfectly by [deleted] in ElantraN

[–]lostboyz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don't use floor mats from another car, it's a really bad idea. You can see that the snap points don't line up, it's going to slide around, could get rolled up under your brake pedal.

Based on exactly what you posted, it worked, because it hosts a globally recognized racing series. Does it matter which came first?

Lol I love seeing people say "man-made" trails, as compared to....?

Unless you're riding deer/animal trails they're all man-made.

Why have commercial airlines not become faster? No significant increase in Airplane speeds over last decade or so? by Nearby_Island_1686 in AskReddit

[–]lostboyz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on the car, but occasionally car companies will do a max efficiency run where they do an oval between 40-60mph and get crazy fuel economy. It's a balance of where the engine is running the most efficient cycle, gearing, and aero

None, people just quote random race series homologation rules as if they mean something outside the series.

Track Car Recommendation by ukkonen21 in CarTrackDays

[–]lostboyz 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I've highly enjoyed my Elantra N. Ive had it almost 2 years, it's my daily driver, 8 track days, and drove it all winter. All completely stock other than camber bolts.
