Upgrading brake fluid is another good idea but it won't 100% cure high RPM clutch lockout. I run DOT 4+ in my car primarily because my shop keeps it in stock.
I don't mean to sound condescending but all this has been well known for years. I was one of the first people to install a stainless clutch line back in early 2011 and while it was a great upgrade there were still people experiencing issues with the clutch pedal sticking to the floor at high...
I see what you're getting at and agree, I just don't let it worry me a whole lot.
I've recently watched a few videos on Remington's V3 TAC-13 semi auto 12 gauge 'firearm' that looks very interesting especially for home defense. 4+1 or 5+1 semi auto in a very short form factor and loaded with...
Sometimes I think about building an integrally suppressed 300blk bolt gun just to see how quiet it could be. I think building one in .308 instead and just using subsonic handloads would be the more practical choice as it gives the option of using full power rounds if I needed more range. Make...
Oh I definitely agree and I hope to get a suppressor soon mainly so I can shoot on my family's property out in central VA(edit: I can shoot there now but I'd like to be nicer to the neighbors). My opinions on the Judge stem from Paul Harrell's testing and obviously it would stop an aggressor far...
Other than point blank ranges the spread from the Judge doesn't look very promising compared to an actual shotgun(duh). Not saying it wouldn't ruin someones day but so would a .22 minus the recoil/noise and pellet spread. If I were using a Judge for home defense I'd load it with .45 Colt.
I'd like to say the same to you as well. A manual trans requires the driver to operate it directly whereas an automatic trans operates itself with minimal driver input.
If you're talking about the Taurus Judge, ballistic testing has not shown favorable results IMO as compared to dedicated defense pistol calibers.
Care to elaborate?
I'm not sure I understand your question. Have you ever shot a short barreled rifle/ar-pistol? Ever done any carbine training courses? They are fun as hell to shoot IMO. Yes there is tremendous blast compared to a 16+" rifle but that can be mitigated with muzzle devices. Of course there is the...
There are autos on the market right now with wet clutches instead of torque converters as well, including Mercedes AMG. They are identical in every other way to their standard autos.
My opinion is don't bother. The intake manifold is contained under the hood along with the rest of the engine so will attain the same temps when the engine is running whether is has a heat shield or not. Radiation is the least effective method of heat transfer compared to convection or...
