Please excuse the off-topic nature of this post, but I felt like sharing something with you all.

Colin, my first son and onzedge wannabe, got his then girlfriend and now fiancé in a family way back in December. They told us in January the big news that they are expecting -- with a due date of September 8. After congratulations and hugs went around the room, I asked him "how did this happen?". I caught myself just as the last words exited my dense skull. Anyway, I digress.

Today they discovered the gender and I am going to have a granddaughter. Hmm. With my other son Taylor (techfracture), also a gearhead and Z car fanatic, Colin, and me as role models, the possibilities of what she will become as a person make my head swim. Anyway, her name shall be Faye Allen Clark. Everyone nixed "Katayama", which was one of my suggestions.

Well. There you go.

mr.onzedge- congrats to your future granddaughter!

Good morning to the OFC

Good Afternoon Mr.Alchemy, Mr.happytheman, Mr.OFCGaleForce, Mr.m4a1steve, Mr.onzedge, Mr.ZMan8, Mr.gurneyeagle, Mr.JARblue, Mr.EasyD and holy-cow too many buds in here my fingers are falling off on the keyboard......

Good Afternoon Mr.kenchan!!

Such a busy day in the lab and I was reading posts from you guys and pages keep adding up.. LOL

It is very funny that a lot of manufactures setup the FWD car so it can turn in and reduce understeer and for those RWD manufactures they try to induce understeer therefore easier/safer to drive.....

It's good to be productive, though!

And while I have you 3 fans. here [and all the rest of you], happy 1,000 posts to me!

kenchan · 04-26-2012, 04:49 PM

hello, mr.alcheng!

yah, honestly some of the best handling cars out there are FF... like my old modded cooper-s and even the Fit i had that had coilovers, etc. would handle the turns faster if downhill touge than the Z.

once you start adding power (uphill touge) to FF it just understeers terribly even with lsd. hahahaha.
