We still have NO SNOW up here in Toronto... looks like its gonna be a green Christmas!
Same here on the east side, although there was this one time where it dusted the ground but then again, if i cant plow it, its not a snow storm.rex2nr said:Same on the south side of the lake.coldtotouch said:Sucks to hear about the starter!

I got to plow a couple weeks ago... it melted by the next day though. We got a whopping 2.5." I could really use some money... start snowing!!!!Dodo said:Same here on the east side, although there was this one time where it dusted the ground but then again, if i cant plow it, its not a snow storm.rex2nr said:Same on the south side of the lake.coldtotouch said:Sucks to hear about the starter!

did someone say REVERSE DONUTS!!!!downest said:(but you might go do some reverse donuts in the CRX).
I hope you realise that reverse gear at 6000rpm has a 7 minute life span... Anything after that is luck that it hasn't been destroyed. I took a class on nothing but gears and how to calculate life. Pretty sad sometimes what you hear about how poorly some companies design there gearboxes.downest said:but you might go do some reverse donuts in the CRX
Depends on the tranny. But the reverse gear is designed around low speed (thus low power and low rpm) use. It's a spur gear ontop of it all. They aren't the strongest nor most efficient. They usually are rated to use half for the average horsepower giving by the engine (D16A6 would make around 50hp average, so 25hp in the reverse). Now you can slam all 108hp thru that bad boy, but don't come crying to me when all of a sudden it doesn't engage properly and that whining sound is a lot nastier....that's the sound of your gear failing. Gotta remember that the reverse gears are designed to be used for 5% of the transmissions life on average.mattminerDOTcom said:my empircal data states that it must have a much much much longer lifespan then that.
either that or im the luckiest guy on earth.
