Does anyone have any insight into heat conductivity/retention of different metals? I have tried googling and all I get are results talking about cooking pans!

What I'd like to know:

Does aluminum hold heat longer than steel? I know it should heat up quicker, but I am not sure if it will retain heat longer or lose it quicker than steel.

aluminum will dissipate the heat faster. Think muffler heat shields and inter-coolers

I would assume that if aluminum heats up quicker, it should also lose heat quicker.

Got it, I did some more researching and came to the same conclusion, thanks guys

My subframe is steel on the 899, the 1199 is aluminum. My bike seems to be a lot hotter... I blame it on the steel staying hotter.

Evan will enjoy this...

Had a call about a customer named Randy Watson and I blurted out Randy Waston & Sexual Chocolate!?! The Customer service rep had no clue what I was talking about.

Holy crap a Coming to America drop in. I lol'd, for real.

I'm bored and either have to get some sort of conversation going or I'm going to leave work. Sooooo...

You have $5,000 to build a fun street/auto-x/track w/e car what do you buy and do to it? why?

In before someone says, "the answer is always Miata." LOL

 

[pmartz16]

Well what would you do to it?

 

[Evan9999]

Well what would you do to it?

I'd keep the motor stock and wouldn't do a whole lot to it. Then install adjustable coilovers, roll bar, brake pads that are good for street/track/autox, and some grippy summer tires.

This car would be very fun to drive and pretty capable on the track/autox. It would be an awesome car to learn on and improve that driver mod. Not to mention, racing the damn thing wouldn't cost an arm and a leg.

 

[pmartz16]

You learned the hard way.... But I like it

 

[XCLR8TN]

$5,000 isn't much if you have to buy the car with that and then mod it.

Sorry thinking on a college kid budget haha

Not to take it off of Patrick's subject but I saw this video on Jalopnik and thought it was hilarious.

Doesn't everyone feel like that when they get new tires?

 

[Lewis7789]

Will especially does.

I've been looking at tires for my 5Zigens for street/auto-x and am going to sell the Enkeis with the Conti's. Looking at tires on TireRack is safe-for-work porn.

Jordan has some funny videos. He done a intergalactic remake that's pretty good.

1. WTF
2. Are those actual drivers? If so, hilarious
3. WTF
4. I don't think Will was thrilled with his tires on Sunday
5. WTF...
6. Will can keep the tires, I'll keep the Conti girls
7. Seriously, WTF

YES I DO!!!!
FINALLY, a video that sums up my feelings for sticker tires...

That is my new favorite video ever.

A couple questions though....
1. Where do I get sweet plastic flip up sunglasses like that?
2. I want to slide down the tire roller like a boss like Jordan does (that's not really a question).
3. Why is Ricky Taylor in a trash can?

At 1:30 I love the C360 guy jumping up and down with his hands in the air while Jordan is hugging the tire.

4. I don't think Will was thrilled with his tires on Sunday

Sticker slicks/r-comps are heavenly.

Sticker Rivals can go suck it. They were terrible.

I owed Phen a beer, so I told him to stop by the Bier Haus to collect. Last night he came over after a rehearsal dinner, got his beer and stayed for a while. It was a bit busy so I talked to him in short periods, after a couple of beers he left. When I was talking to the girls (servers) while we were doing the closing duties, I mentioned "my friend who was here earlier". Then they say "your friend? we thought he was your dad!"

I.... *******.... lost it...
