noob engine rebuild/ DO NOT USE HIGH OCTANE FUEL!

[Unnamed]

You guys know a lot of stuff.

Yeah, Nam era pilots are bad-ass   One taught my uncle through about 90 hours.  He gets bitched at all the time for making low-passes of the runway before landing   ( I'm talking like 2-3 feet at 150mph+ )   I get bitched at because I like to take my time recovering from stalls    So much more fun coming level at a few hundred feet rather than 1500-2000.  Gives the instructor a good wakeup

YEP!

I got to hit the controls of a t-38 once ( My mom was dating a training squadron commander, seems you can get away with shaZam! if you have birds sittin on your shoulder)    Nothing quite like 550mph   Military pilots are pansy these days though, they rely to much on their equipment and pay absolutely no attention to survival classes

whats the code of the cfi   "flying is many hours of boredome interrupted with moments of shear terror"

Wow, lots of pilots/student pilots here, cool! I have my commercial single engine land and sea and I'm working on my CFI right now. I fly skydivers most weekends to help build the hours.

The only thing about jumpers is that they don't really give a sh*t about the airplane (since they're planing on jumping out anyways) So you need to know when to say no and walk away from a messed up plane.

Once when I was decending at about 165 MPH the door rattled open, ripped off, and smacked into the tail, beding it about 30 degrees 
That was my scariest moment.

I've got over 30, but I'm grounded for the next 5 months for injuries I sustained landing out in a glider.  It's torture... but it could've been much worse...

I'd would've jumped out then.Emergency landings can be fun,if you know you'll survive.  I'm an adrenaline junky.

I'da been gone........right out the door

dude i run 130 at the track and 10k miles later i don't have any problems. that provably from you winding it out like a Buddha Loves You and thinking that the 101 oct fuel is going to keep it together.

don't blame it for your recklessness

like taking it to 9 grand every once in a while is reckless... wait... no you are right... yes... actually I would just sit in my driveway and redline it cuzz I liked the high pitched whine...

the name-calling is helping alot too... keep it up

[spc]

You gotta work to f%$k the GS engine up.  I've taken it to 12k several times and consistantly run it at 9k for extended runs.     Never flinched   The only way I know of to kill a GS is run it dry of oil

diito....ive taught people to ride on my bike....they have wound it up to as high as she wiil go and still held together.   Just face it dude you forgot to put oil in it.. I know the gs like to drink it. and if you had a leak that would make it worse. dont blame it onthe octane.

ohhh. and since we are talking about flight stories.. .one time i clipped a turkey on a short runway take off.    yea that was great....

Biggest noob comment ever, tuner cars in general, and people who think they're going to make their Hyundai Elantra a rocket ship...

"Octane" is a rating, combining several factors, that determines a fuels resistance to pre-ignition. So, unless your vehicle REQUIRES high-octane fuel, or you're using it as a band-aid for other problems in older vehicles, the only way it's going to make your vehicle faster is by weight reduction in your wallet...

If it existed, you could put 3,000,000,000 octane in the GS500, and the only thing that would have bought you is the assurance the engine will never, ever, knock...

Octane does not mean "more energy". (well, it does to a certain point, but, the differences are so minute, you wouldn't be able to notice them...)

Anyway, that is all...

Or ignite, in our weak ass, low compression, weak spark ignition system..

but dude it was like supper fast and now its not it had to be the fuel

[spc]

A turkey?   I had to pull up fast once because a f%$king deer ran out in the middle of the runway as I was coming in to land  

[rangerbrown]

easy there maverick watch that air speed, stalls are no fun at low alt

[spc]

hittin a deer at 80 isn't much fun either

[nastynate6695]

yea we used to have to buzz the runway back in pa and look for eyes late at night  b4 landing.. trying to avoid those damn deer
