Dyno'd the bird today. Results are in the sig. 13.8-14.0 A/F. 3 pulls all for 50 bucks. Note that a good 85% of the parts that make those wheels turn are from the factory.. and 10 years old.

Pay it off and store it. I can't get rid of this car; not after the yarn I've built up while owning it. If I need something to drive, gonna buy an 80s K5 M1009 CUCV for a DD.

2010s aren't all that interesting after seeing pulls of one with a TVS next to 4-5 4th gens with head and cam packs. There's just this magic about them, not as refined, rattles and clunks like an SOB..

But it's fast. And you can feel it, moreso than on a 2010.

The 5th Gen is deceptively fast. You don't feel as though you're going fast as you are and it'll get you in trouble.

And therein lies one of the issues I have: I feel to disconnected from the road at times. With the 4th gen you know when s**ts gonna go down a good chunk of the time while on a 5th gen it's kinda muted.

Granted after a while you may be able to pick up on things with a 5th gen but a 4th gen's feel is just.. well, less refined. Visceral. Obvious.

I like my 4th (and the 5th aside from the muted feel) gen for the reasons people hate it.

Heat and Mechanics.

A diver springs upward with an initial speed of 1.8 m/s from a 3.5-m board.

What is the highest point he reaches above the water?

So the final velocity of the diver at the highest point is zero, acceleration is -9.8 m/s/s, initial velocity is 1.8 m/s.

I keep getting .16 m but that's apparently incorrect...

EDIT: ****. I'm an idiot. 3.5m + .16 m = 3.66 m. Wow. Just wow.
