@theart: but by saying so you're assuming the cup isn't full, it has to have a bit of empty space on the top to compensate for the fluid leaning.
I can't come up with a formula off the top of my head but i think it's close to: empty space on the top = Tangent (lean angle) x cup radius.
@Alfisted: then why don't they just flip the engine.. this way two wrongs make one right and consequently they will lean the right way ?
just like reverse..
@Alfisted: i got you all topped, that 131 burnt my brother's face (nothing serious).
It overheated so he popped the hood to check the water.. and top it off.. pops the hood open and the radiator valve just pops out of place spraying his face with HOT water!
Dad traded it in for a Renault 5 alpine.. another mess..
@scroggzilla raids again: ahhh.. i had no idea, for some reason i remember a white 131, then remember he had a delta with martini all over it, and i put two and two together..i need more pre 80 rallye education :(
@Jinn: and that's the respect i'm talking about , you know your limits and you try to enhance them slowly rather than claiming to be the best driver in the world in your nannied launch controlled e46 m3..
@Josh Poage: my dad had a later model 131 (i think it was an 81) super mirafiori, he used to claim it was the volumetrico Abarth.... bah.. poor old man was dillusional..
@twitchykun (Level 1 Jalop-Knight): that's the whole point of a car without all those nanny electronics. separates the douchebags who claim to know how to drive, from deal drivers who respect the cars and know the consequences of pushing them beyond their limit.
