Re: Ignition on engines with two plugs per cylinder

The bits about misfire aren't unfounded! They are right on the money. Good thinking :-) The bit about "no upside seen" is a nice way of putting what I was thinking too. I also can't see a benefit to them being staggered, but someone else might :-) Fred. They used to stagger them on the As...

Re: Road rage incidents/idiot driving thread

Tips. Stay well back, and the best place for an idiot, is in front of you.. Strongly disagree, behind and going slower is better, if you push hard they won't keep up :-) In Motor Sport the winner will have the best brakes...

I am pissed - but i am trying to keep my sense and drive normally and he does it again third time - i hit him in the back. If you were driving normally, and he had already done it twice, amazed that you hit him, and did the amount of damage that you state. Perhaps we need to add an accelerometer, t...

Re: Low quantity pcb manufacturers

Yes the Chinks all seem to boast about how cheap they can supply you. Having looked at a number of things that have been produced there can indeed confirm that yes they are very cheap... Interesting the quality is often good... This normally applies to the first batch, but rarely to the subsequent b...
