stroker kit?

[njaremka]

much simplier than 12 inches = 1 foot. 3 feet = 2 yard 2000 yards = 1mile

Actually, it's more confusing than that!

12 inches = 1 foot / 3 feet = 1 yard / 1760 yards = 1 mile

Don't forget, 220 yards in a furlong, and 8 furlongs in a mile.

Hehe, my car does the 2furlong in 15.7@86

quick question...off topic but how do they measure ocean distances in metric... I know there is nautical miles...is that what everyone uses...i know its different than and SAE mile. just to get those noodles working.
oh and about the stroker...if anything u would want to de-stroke the fs....but none of it is worth it in my opinion.

 

[Gen1GT]

I believe they just use KMs at sea.

 

[ahb11m]

the only sea measurement in metric is... surprise surprise.. KM!!!!

the only other measurement is knots, but you don't be mesauriung distance with that one

 

[akhilleus]

gen1gt and ahb11m are the winners!!!(first)

gen1gt and ahb11m are the winners!!!(first)

Do you sail/boat? I have a question though...how do you know how far you've gone, when there isn't solid ground under you?

Talk about a warped thread......(jacked)

Today its GPS...Before I have no idea...and what do they do in currents...If a ship is traveling against a current, they are traveling at a much less velocity relative to the sea floor than relative to the water...that was a physics problem in high school...But do they correct for that, or just never travel against a current???

Instead of miles/hour, they measure in leagues/week....

1 league = 3.45233834 miles

 

[ahb11m]

sea and air travel is measured in knots (as far as i know), heights are in feet, and blah blah blah... can you imagine trying to change every airliner in the world to metric? while it would be sensible, something would get ******

a nautical mile is a measure no where near a mile, but is in fact some thing that is taken from longitude, and latitude


and while we are on it, what is 0 and 100 farenheit relevant to??
celcius 0 is freezing water, and 100 is boiling water
kelvins are just a shifted version of celcius, whereby 0 is absolute zero, ie you can't get colder than absolute

 

[p5sundevil]

0 and 100 are pretty much meaningless in F measurments, there is a formuls for it i learned 6 times in chem classes but am too wasted to remember it now...basically 32F is freezing and boiling is somewhere in the 2xx or 3xx range, damn i cant remember s*** right now =) good night

0 C = 32 F
100 C = 212 F

X C = X * 9 / 5 + 32 F

X F = (X - 32) * 5 / 9 C

see my previous post

vote 1, america START TO USE METRIC!!!! hehehehehe

 

[Gen1GT]

Ya, Celcius is easy too. 0 frozen, 100 boiling, obviously based on water too...

 

[Glowspeedp5]

certainly did

i think the best thing of the metric system is that it's easy - everything is in groups of 10/100/1000 etc.

10mm = 1cm 100cm = 1m 1000m = 1km
1mg = 1g 1000g = 1kg 1000kg = 1 tonne

much simplier than 12 inches = 1 foot. 3 feet = 2 yard 2000 yards = 1mile
i have no idea about weights or volume measurements (ie gallon etc)

Measurement
1 pint=16oz
12oz=355mL Coke Can

 

[akhilleus]

Another vote for metric!!!

 

[ahb11m]

so 474ml is a pint of guiness, and 375ml(?) is a schooner
hmmmm so why does ted come in 345ml ?? americans you'll never know.... umm its a metric beer

The world challenge cars upped the bore to
84.5mm Bore (compare to 83mm) gave them 2064cc displacement
would it be worth it to do this with maybe 10.5:1 comp ratio?or would this be a waste of money?

Totally worth it. A larger engine is more power AND torque. Personally, I've changed my mine, and I'm getting 11:1, 85mm pistons now, instead of the Miata 83.5, 10:1 pistons. Displacement won't hurt.....

 

[twilightprotege]

i'll eventually go for 85mm pistons too. the best part about doing this is you're getting the bore to stroke ratio up
