Are you sure your name isn't Moog?

Aren't we playing Twenty Questions?

Gearhead here... "NOS" is also Nitrous Oxide Systems...a company that makes nitorus injection systems for engines. We can thank Hollywood and Vin Diesel for this "car's got NOS" garbage.

I like the pic, but just wanted to throw my $0.02 in - and to clarify a bit. Maybe I'll get one less person to say "cars got NOS"

NOS is a company that makes equipment. Nitrous oxide is what is sprayed into your engine to make your car 'go faster'. Anyway, don't mind me...just being a car geek. Nevermind.

Maybe he really is just a big pu$$y.

Maybe a racing sticker and rev your grips at stoplights.
Wear a fullface helmet cycling in the city.

Oh and a clear tubing to run from the 'NOS' can into your 'carburetor'.

In psychiatric diagnosis, NOS means "not otherwise specified."

As in, "Psychotic disorder, not otherwise specified."

If the shoe fits. . . .

fair nuff. it must have just come to mind because of all the people on this forum, you're the only one who seems to have 9 lives.

I think I'm down to 1.
I'm pretty sure people here do stupid stuff all the time but are too embarassed to admit it.

busted. it's cause my stupid bike stuff doesn't have any razzle-dazzle to it. it's just ordinary clueless stupid.

when i see NOS, i think of stuff they use in cars. not bike shop terms or crazy people term.
i guess most of you guys missed the joke.

Oh yea, I missed it because my head is up my butt. I fart nitro.

NOS is not garbage. It's the biggest bang for the buck upgrade for any car. I've been in Honda Civics with a wet shot of 100HP. Let's just say WOW!

uhh...wrong. I'm not going to go into the economics of installing a nitrous system and NO2 tanks vs. something like a turbo, or even an engine swap, but you are wrong.

Also, read the post more carefully. He called Vin Diesel's "Car's got NOS" statement garbage, not NOS.

NOS= New Old Stock, of course.

What makes me wonder, is that it might be a 20 year old can of Pepsi, pulled from some old warehouse and relabled for resale.

YUMMY!!!

Not saying a (properly set up) nitrous system is garbage. I was just saying that this saying of "my car's got NOS" is garbage. It's a sad sad little saying that stuck because they used it in a movie....and it's wrong. That's all I was getting at. I've ridden in/driven my fair share of hooked up tuners and old school bigblock straightliners, and for the money and time nitrous is worth it. I'd still pick a supercharger over any of 'em though.

20 year old pepsi? could be good.

Who needs NOS?

I ride a POS!

Somehow your near death stuff is more entertaining!

Did you try that drink?

You'll be hearing another near death story from me if I drink that whole thing.

I might want to try it, but I want you you to test it for me!

So ... let me get this straight. The rash was caused by the improper adjustment of NOS fuel mixture resulting in a burst of uncontrollable acceleration?

Yes... I blew my piston rings..

yeah, my cat won't touch the pet-store version either. it looks like some nasty stuff.

That's what I did NOS bottles run dry. Superchargers are always ready!

Nah, single best upgrade for a car would be if the car ha a speed/rev limiter, to gut it.

Most mustangs have one around 115....gutting it will get your average 5.0GT up to around 130mph on the track, a cobra more like 140. Three cheers for govt nerfs.

My old 2.3 n/a project had to hav it's gutted since it's governed around 95mph....sucked haveing to drop 500 on a reprogram (I don't trust store bought "chips")....at least I played around with the rest of the settings a bit...especially where I removed "limp mode"...that was really nice...the 4-bangers would go into this mode if it detected anything out of wack, whether it really was or not....actually limp mode was extremely dangerous since the car hadd an 0-60 of 50 seconds (no joke)...it wasn't fast enough to even use on the road....runners could outrun it from a stop.

Yeah NOS is nice for a dragstrip upgrade. Also a quick way to be left with a cracked block. IMO the single best upgrade for a track driver is LSD.

NOS? I'll match your NOS and raise you a turbo w/intercooler:



I'm currently working on a twin-turbo Lamborghini Jalpa project... should be done this next week sometime... heh, heh...
