Totally stealing this from Jalopnik but it’s a very neat question. After getting some neat responses in previous questions it should be neat to see what you guys are up to now. Us being gear heads we always have something to learn about and are always learning it. Whether it be a history of a car, difference in models, super car specs, researching next project, learning about track driving or track days, how turbos, fuel management or transmissions work etc. At this time I’ve been looking into suspension geometry and trying to make sense of longer control control arms behavior vs shorter after seeing the difference on Mr2’s first hand after Toyota redesigned theirs in 93 as people couldnt safely control short arms of 91 and 92 by going into snap oversteer and crashing. However first hand the 91 definitely has a more go kart like feel and is a lot more solid on the road surface. Anywhore, Question is - what is your current automotive curiosity? ---

Given that I just got the JRZ coilovers for the M3, I’ve been reading up as much as possible, for example if the car does X (which is bad), then you say, take out or add rebound or compression. ---

Flatheads don’t make shit for power but they have that distinctive sound. if its a modern hot-rod, put whatever you want in it. Thats what its all about. But I like the traditional rods, 100HP flatheads, narrow tires. Those will never go out of style in my eyes. ![http://www.jobomoco.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/l_2048_1536_693F76BA-FAC1-4973-BB63-2129291209C41.jpeg](http://www.jobomoco.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/l_2048_1536_693F76BA-FAC1-4973-BB63-2129291209C41.jpeg) ---

I want to throw one of my detroits in a stretched out dropped 32 roadster sooooooo bad. edit: as to answer your question… my current curiousity is how to make these 2 strokes make power.
