One of Tommy's favorite quotes is:"----"Hey have you seen Amanda?" BINGO"
--"To Roam is to search for something new, on local trails in your home town or half way around the world in a place you've never been. On a mountain bike you can cover a great distance in a short period of time, or a short distance in a great period of time. They say that the journey can be more important than the destination, in mountain biking there is no destination, just a bike, a rider, and a place to ride..."-----
----"Some Choices are easy, some aren't; those are the important ones, the ones that define us as people"----
----"There are so few truths in this world, cause when you see one you know it"----
----"Follow your dreams..."-----
----"I reject your reality and substitute my own"----
----"There's a point when you've got Xenon lights ahead of you, heated leather behind, the open sky overhead, and a little Knopfler on the stereo, that you suddenly realize something monumental. One doesn't need hundreds of horsepower, neck snapping looks and a machine-gun exhaust note to enjoy the open road and experience of driving."----
----The Grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for----
----"It really is the most exciting time to be alive"----
----"Most of the time, most of our plans don't work out as we hope, so instead of asking our young peo...Expand for more
ple "what are your plans, what do you plan to do with your life" maybe we should tell them this "Plan to be surprised"----

----"FRANKENSTEIN RETURNS?
The K24A is more closely related to the K20A3 and K20A. While it uses the same i-VTEC tuning as those engines, it's the long stroke design that's intriguing. The difference is in the block. The K24's deck height is roughly 19 mm higher than its smaller siblings. It's also slightly bored, with 1 mm larger cylinders. The compression ratio is also down slightly from the non-Type-S engines, 9.6.1 vs. 9.8:1. So what? Well, the natural temptation is to throw the K20A2's efficient head onto the K24A1 block, raise the redline and have a torquey, ultra-powerful i-VTEC stroker Frankenstein monster engine.
The actual bolting on part wouldn't be too difficult, as the heads should mount right up. However, you do run into an issue with piston speed. At its 7900-rpm redline, the K20A2 in the Type-S has a piston speed of 4464 feet per minute (fpm). Thanks to its long stroke, the K24A1 comes close to that, running at 4225 fpm at its much lower redline of 6500 rpm. By the time you've spun your K24 up to just 6900 rpm, you're already at 4485 fpm, and at the 7900 rpm redline of the K20A2, you're at a crazy 5135 fpm. For comparison, even the hyperkinetic S2000 with its 9000 rpm redline doesn't exceed 5000 fpm (it maxes out at 49% fpm). And the Integra's B18C1 only reached 4573 fpm. Translation: If you're going to plunk a K20A2 head on a K24A1 block and redline the concoction to 7900 rpm without seriously building up the bottom end.. duck."----
