Aaron,

The motor in my car is seized. I tried to bump start it with my drill but the engine in the drill's not got enough ***** to spin it over. I'm thinking I need to re wind the engine for more torque to spin the motor over and crack the seals loose. Will that work? Or should I power the I use several hamsters and wheels to generate some juice for the drill engine????

Just demagnetize the magnets surrounding the armature of the drill's engine. They cause a parasitic loss of power on the armature. That should give your drill lots of *****. Another thing you could try, switch to the new lithium ion batteries!

As long as you don't overspeed the hampsters, you'll be fine to use them. Make sure to use a synthetic lubricant on the wheel bearings.

If the hamsters aren't moving fast enough, let them drink some NOS (energy drink).

Then once the engine un-seizes, you should really switch over to spraying NOS instead of water/alcohol! +100 hp for sure.

Some ATF aughta do it

I just brought my car out of storage. I've topped up the blinker fluid but I'm thinking of going with new Muffler Bearings when I install my new 8" cherry bomb. I had to cut the bumper a bit to make it fit, the plastic sits right on the muffler, but what's the worst that can happen?

On that note, anyone know a good place to get JDM muffler bearings ? I hear they're like totally way better than the regular ones. I need them for drifting, so keep that in mind.

Doug down at Rx7Heaven recommends that I get my valves and lifters replaced in my 12a. He must know what he's talking about, so I'm going to have him do the work. He says it should only cost about $2k, but it's worth it for the number of miles per hour my car will gain.

I wonder if CP Racing would do it cheaper?

You should inspect your cam bearings while you're in there too.

My alternator belt was squeaking. I fixed it last night by putting a bigger pulley on the alternator. Is that wrong?

yes....you've changed the harmonics and inducing more axial load on the magnets.....but your bearing should be ok sinc you topped it off with z max

its been proven before Gerbils are far more efficient than hamsters
the hamsters produce a bit more bottom end torque
the gerbils have a much more usable powerband
