I did.. on my dad's '89 BMW 535i .. probably withstood almost a dozen neutral drops b4 I realized none of the forward gears worked

that's how I got my bro's Max in '02.

Btw I forgot to mention I was supposed to get my bro's max back last fall but being a hoe-a$$ b*tch he is of not giving it back to me, I now have an '04 Jeep Grand Cherokee Special Edition, loaded, which I got a gr8 deal on.

sorry fellas, but I'll be in here from time to time to keep in touch, and I will post pics of the Jeep.

What the hell do I care if he said that? Fact > opinions. Just because he built a turbo maxima doesn't mean he knows his *** from his elbow when it comes to cars. And the fact that he said WARPED ROTORS from torque braking means he's a MORON.

FACT: You warp rotors from excessive heat and then immediate cooling. How do you propse you're going to heat your rotors up and cool them down so fast when you're going about 1/2mph?

FACT: It's not the BRAKES that do most of the work from torque braking, it's the torque converter you twit. As I've said numerous times in this thread.

You're wrong, Y2KevSE is wrong, 90% of the people in this thread are wrong. I've been up and down everything automotive for 5 years now. I've built 3..4..and 500hp cars. Turned 17 second cars into 12 second cars. Honestly, I don't give a damn whether or not some internet punk on a one of the least technical automotive forums on the internet doesn't believe me. I build fast cars, you don't. End of story.

good for you

i dont care and i still disagree with you

formz

You also don't know a damn thing about cars so it doesn't really matter. Remember, out of the pair of us, I'm the only one that has given any facts.

SXN

i said i didnt care what you said...thats a fact. i said a disagree with you, thats a fact. I dont know a damn thing about cars? i would tend to disagree, but i guess im biased.

formz

Post some facts then about how torque braking warps your rotors. I told you how rotors get warped, now show me how I'm wrong. Or can you not?

SXN

i said it was bad for the car, did i say it would warp your rotors? nope

Very thorough indeed. "It's bad for the car but I don't know why."
