Did you change the drive shaft? There is a video of the v6 losing its drive shaft at like 120. It seems the stock one isn't engineered for speed.

Yeah, I already have a 1-piece aluminum driveshaft int he car, but I can't use it with the new motor. I have to have a new one made.

I loved my first car as well: Lancia Beta HPE 2000 in silver and rust... It was an ex company car, and was three years old.
Lovely car to drive, horrible car to work on... And corroded if you mentioned the word "rain"...

Pretty irrelevant, you can exceed the speed limit easily and safely in a 1.0l Ford Ka. Having a crazy car is for the fun of getting from 0 to 60 and round corners in a much more exciting way, not pure speed (you can't legally exercise the full speed of even a basic car on public roads).

I think that was my point.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

A "crisis" would be indicated by a lightning decision made on a spur of the moment - this motor swap has been in the planning stages for more than a year.

So you mean the plate should be 427 MLC

We've got a guy in our lot with the plate MMLCRX on his MX-5.

Sweet! That should be plenty of horsepower for towing your RV when you retire.

I doubt he'd ever retire - from coding. Maybe retire from a full time job. But he's the kinda guy who'd take Visual Studio to his grave.

There's a shooter cocktail of that name. But I believe you don't drink.

Here you go: (the link won't work, so you need to replace those *s with the proper letters)
http://www.1001cocktails.com/recipes/mixed-drinks/100100/cocktail-adios-motherf*****.html[^]
I made this for a friend's birthday party. It was the shooter drink for the night. Was a huge hit!
- 1/2 oz vodka
- 1/2 oz rum
- 1/2 oz tequila
- 1/2 oz gin
- 1/2 oz blue curacao liqueur
- 2 oz sweet and sour mix
- 2 oz soda (7-up, sprite)
We did not drink it in glasses, instead made it in bulk and everyone had multiple shots.

That's half a TGV[^] and half a ladies drink.
By coincidence TGV[^] is quite a fitting name.
Also known in Australia as rocket fuel, but that recipe is without the blue wimp juice.

YEah, I'm aware.

cid = cubic inch displacement?
We've been metric all my life, so I've only ever seen cc (cubic centremeters) or liters displacement.

That's a hair under 7 liters

My first WPF/MVVM based application is ready. Only glitch is that I have to send entire PasswordBox since Password is not a DependencyProperty. I don't really care much about that one odd instance.
Time to add "WPF (Beginner, Self-taught)" to resume.
