The whole thing is a bit misleading, but not the fraud people were talking about on the lake bed. The real races, Everyman Challenge and King of the Hammers were Thursday and Friday. Top Gear was done and gone by Tuesday before the races so there’s no way they were entered in or going to portray themselves as entered… Read more

Because there’s enough friction to bind it up or the part of the key bound it up after it rotated a little bit. Im pretty sure this is what happened. Your intake valves appear to open a ways after the piston is down in the hole. I bet its off. Set crank to TDC(not the pulley) and see what the cam and valves look like.… Read more

Mechanical timing. No way the cam is in the right place at TDC. That’s the only thing that could ruin all 4 cylinders and not ruin any metal. Read more

Let’s start Waterworld! Link those ships together. Build a huge caterman platform between them with a giant city on it and run it off the gas! WATERWORLD LIVES! Read more

I want to see the bearings that thing turns on! Read more

The entire Top Gear cast was gone on tuesday. The only races before tuesday was a bouncer hillclimb and king of the moto. So I don’t see how it could have been a real race. The whole thing must have been made up for TV which is kind of sad. The other bummer is they didn’t get into an unlimited KOH car. The Legends… Read more

The stratton pays for itself if we get to sell the cocaine... Read more

Very cool car! But the moveable wings are actually pretty easy to make. We built one for our lemons car using an Arduino board and the window actuators... Tied it into braking and adding a trigger on the steering wheel for certain corners. Read more

He needs to get better so he can jump the shark!

Yeah if they trailer it, they should definitely take the higher and faster route in. Part of me thinks I should grab my scout and head to Moab to see this mess reach its final destination! Read more

As much as everyone talks about diversity, you’re better off racing with like minded people. I’m a rally guy. Im very comfortable in a car that appears out of control. That means when I got bored at my last wheel to wheel race I drifted two corners by the stands where my girlfriend was watching. I couldn’t catch the… Read more

The northern route across is better but I don’t think you’ll pick up any advantage with the 75 mph speed limit... Read more

I suppose a VW drift bus would be the most appropriate but living here in southern california I have to agree with you on the E36. Read more

Agreed. There are tons of races in the netherlands. And I don’t think that many series drug test but didn’t BTCC start breathalyzing drivers before races a year ago? Thats kind of interesting. I wonder what scenario led to that being a concern? And would Formula Drift even exist with random drug testing? I bet they… Read more

Agreed! Danny George is one of my all time favorites to watch race! His video series DGAF is amazing. Im pushing him to do another this season... Read more

That’s interesting. They can’t use the regular banking system? I can see a billboard out my window for a place called Zen Weho, I just called and you’re right! No VISA! But they do take debit cards. I know its a different system but it still flows through the banks? Read more

This is why you don’t mess around with OPP! Read more

oh wow. I mean I see what you’re are saying. But you must really hate the internet? Read more

How is this click bait? A driving instructor is suing a track after two people were killed there. Its also the same track that Top Gear USA announced as their home 5 days ago. What part of the title is even slightly misleading? Read more

The nuts on the e30 starter motor can be a huge pain. you just weld a little allen key or stick of metal to the nut. Allows you to hold the nut down there while you turn the bolt and then the allen key binds on the engine and you don’t need a wrench on the nut to tighten it. Read more
