The trick about low back pain is that the cause is your hamstrings pulling on your pelvis, which isn't intuitive. When you're sitting, this happens because your hips are flexed (bent forward). A good...

Your test might be easier just to pull the hand brake half way, and step on the gas half way and keep it there. The car should start to accelerate as the brakes start to overheat, although I've never...

Why are expensive brakes better?

Seems like an obvious question, but I can't find the answer. Even if you have a very nice braking system, your car's stopping ability is limited by traction, right (tires, downforce, car weight, and...

How is the corner entry ability of the FR-S or BRZ? (I haven't driven one yet) This includes braking and the initial turn-in through a corner w/o understeer. You can somewhat say that it's the car's...

Huh? I might not be understanding you correctly, but the way you explained it, you're missing the whole point of having a clutch. And yes, the gears will be ruined and shifting will be very noisy

It's funny, nissan has never really had a lightweight (and FWD) concept. They're more rwd/awd and high power inclined

Ok. This acceleration/deceleration thing is ridiculous. It's not for accelerating. It's not for decelerating. It's for shifting.

But the weight is low. If we're just talking about weight and $, lightweight battery is better since the weight is on the front and high (although headers can increase engine power)
