The original limitation of the rotary engine, and the reason it hadn't been developed for a long time, is the fact we lacked the technology to make a material to go inside it. The first wankel engines had a rotor and cylinder made of a conventional metal, and after not such a long time they'd wear down so when igniting the spark would migrate into the other chambers and f**k it up. Mazda's engines use some kind of ceramic, I think, which stops this happening. It doesn't mean it doesn't happen at all though, which is why they need rebuilding.

The only thing that puts me off rotary engines is the need to rebuild them every so often. There are cylinder engines with worse MPG, lol - the ford GT at 4mpg. Course, a RX7 or even 8 is too much to insure for me so that's the deciding factor really.

Yeah... I guess cause they've got twice the power, it makes sense. Isn't that the same as a 2-stroke?

I think the idea is to produce an entertaining car-based program, rather than a realistic car program. If you like dicking around with cars, watch Top Gear, if you want to know about a car before you buy it, watch Fifth Gear. It's a bit annoying when people pick holes in Top Gear... just watch it and enjoy it and laugh at it, rather than going 'Ehh, they set that up', it doesn't matter, the end result is the same: it's funny!

What happens is when you copy the BB code from wherever it is, it copies a second tag. You need to ideally find the image location and do your own img tags, then they won't be links either Cool zombie, lol, and the trials picture looks good, did you vectorise that or draw it? You've done some nice stuff!

The force produced from a rotary engine would result in a smoother ride... When an ordinary egine runs the pistons go up and down, this shakes the engine in the same direction - it's the reason 4-cyliners fire in 1-3-2-4 order, or similar - if they fired in 1-2-3-4 order the engine would shake it and the vehicle apart. A rotary engine will produce centrifugal force. As for gyroscopic effect, I shouldn't think it would be significant enough to make the bike unable to corner. Rotary engines are tiny, because they're so powerful. It would be interesting to see if you could take the engine from a mazda (I'm told they have two rotary engines that work together, around 700cc) and put it in a motorbike. Seeing as motoGP is restricted on engine displacement, a 700cc would be massively more powerful than a 2 or 4 cylinder engine They'd probably make it so you'd have to run maybe a 300cc engine for a rotary - think of the weight saved!

Sounds good... it makes perfect sense. I remember someone telling me about one a long time ago that was so powerful it wheelied whenever you came out of a corner.

I wonder why we don't see any motorbikes with rotary engines... The power to weight of one is better than an ordinary engine. It would give you a massive advantage in the MotoGP, and for road use the bike could be lighter with a smaller engine for the same power, making it a lot easier to ride.

Steel flexes more than aluminium. Advantages are, if you snap it or bend it, you can have it welded or bend it back really easily.

Heh, I know there'll never be one.

If they're so good, lets have a 24" one

Read the guidelines, read a dictionary, learn grammar. Done. Well, demonstrate your learnings by posting good posts, then done.

That means you're doing it wrong. Put brake in water Undo bleed screws Cover lever hole with finger fully, leave slave hole uncovered Press lever all the way in quickly. With the lever depressed, quickly cover the slave hole with your finger fully, and leave the lever hole uncovered Release the lever quickly Repeat many times.

Boo, mods are gay.

Pretty sure, try it!

WMP and Itunes are both capable of having films in their library... Try putting some in Itunes, if you've got the names right then they'll show up just like songs.

Is it a stock levelboss?

Sadly, no selling in NMC includes this.

Stand by for Anzo, he seems to be able to fix any computer problem posted on here.

First one - find device manager in the control panel, look for the network adapter section and find the proper name for the network card, then look on an internet-capable computer for drivers for it. Second one - find device manager in the control panel, look for the sound controller section and find the proper name for the sound card, then look on an internet-capable computer for drivers for it.

That was f**king epic.

There is no answer to this question.

No, I'll find it for you. http://www.bike4.eu/?cat=1&paged=2 Bottom of the page

Worst luck - either my chain snapping and me going over on a drop, or when I tried an up-to-front and hit the side of the wall and bent my lever on my leg. Best time on my bike - possibly when I rode in lboro with part of the POWER TRIALS lads and learnt to pinch gap. That felt good!

What IS the best frame? I vote for this.
