In a nutshell, knock is when conditions in the cylinder becomes to hot and the air/fuel mixture detonates on it's own before the compression stroke is complete. Also refered to as detonation, or "leaning out". Too much boost is the major cause of knock. This is why the higher the octane we can get our hands on, the better. The higher the octane, the less likely it is to detonate before it's lit. Not a dumb question at all, the majority of people have no real idea of the intricate relationship between knock and octane. {thumbup}

Are you a friend of Arthur? Do you have an e36 m3 as well?

^ lol, who are you?
I am Arthur's friend, but not the one with the e36.

I'm from nasioc, I met him a couple mondays ago and he was telling me what you guys did with the DRLs.

Haha cool. Did you get a chance to ride in his car? lol

Have you seen my pic before on FB or something is that how you recognized the car or something?

Ya I went for a ride in it, and ya I did see your car there, lol.

welcome samurai!

what kind are those gauges?

edit: thanks for the brief explanation jay! :)

those look like Defi on Gruppe-S triple pod.

Hey samurai! i got the Evo home safely, you were great help, in passing on any tidbits you gave me to others who have expressed an interest in picking up an Evo :D

Yup those are the Defi BF gauges I had left over from when i parted out my old turbo RSX. :)

Good to hear Vince. Actually i was scrolling back a few pages, and saw the pics you posted. Damn white looks so nice. Too bad i wasn't able to find a good clean white MR when I was looking for the right price. Enjoy the car man!

where did you get them from samurai?

defi cost an arm and a leg online. are they the ones that needs a controller?

Yeah they need a controller. I"ve mounted it under my radio now but wasn't on at the time of the photo :p

I actually got them off a member on nasioc a couple yrs ago.

I get my car in a few hours :)

Pics to come tonightish.
