Derek Does Pikes Peak - The Carmudgeon Show with Cammisa and Derek from ISSIMI Ep. 59

[@nicholasc1781]

I'm so glad this podcast didn't end with Jason's departure from issimi. This is the only show that cares about cars in the same way I do.

[@OpenBarGarage]

I feel that way too about caring about cars. Other channels or groups on Facebook make car enthusiasts seem childish and lack class.

[@Thaiseaweed]

I went on a big road trip in my (now departed) MKVII GTI in April 2021. Pike’s Peak was one of my big destinations. It was closed up above 12,500 feet. It was such a great experience, with the 2.0T you can really feel the lack of power above 10,000 feet. What was really interesting was feeling the difference of power when the turbo isn’t really active vs higher RPM. The GTI is the ultimate road trip car, especially paired with the Vredstein Quatrack Pro tires I had. They’re an incredible All Weather tire that holds the road well enough when driving enthusiastically, yet is extremely capable in snow. They’re also good for 50,000 miles. I feel that a big National Park Tour road trip is something every car person needs to do.

17:26 As a german I believed the whole world thought that Walter Röhrl´s run was the most iconic, without any doubt. Well, seems I was wrong.

[@burnttoast9890]

[@jameswhitehead6758]

Jason talking about the ITR reminded me of a guy in my hometown in Michigan who put almost 180k on a ITR as his daily before "upgrading" to a AP2 S2k. His car was sold to a local Acura dealer owner who, last I knew, was doing a complete restoration on the car. Legend.

There's actually a couple Ford cars (s550 chassis GT350/500s, Focus RS, & the current gen GT) that all spec 5w-50 oil as standard. The 5.0L Mustangs also recommend using 5w-50 for extreme performance/supercharged applications over the stock 5w-20/30 oil.

[@HandsomeAlex25]

Loving the "soft filter" in the studio. Glad the inserts are clear, which is why I watch, not just listen. Great show as always!

[@jimiverson3085]

In a Miura, would a "Zippo without a cap" switch be the one you use to set the car on fire?

[@surrealtom]

No, that would actually be every switch in the Miura

[@Wydarr]

We missed you! SO Glad we're back to Monday fun with you two!

[@Strike86]

Just to add to the oil discussion, multigrade oil doesn't get 'thicker' when it heats up. Taking 10w30 as an example, the 10 and the 30 are measured differently so the 10 is still thicker. I don't remember all the nuances but basically they're measured from different temperatures. The point of multigrade oil is just so that a 50 weight oil doesn't have the consistency of tar when it's left overnight in lower temps. The reason many people in vintage racing use SAE 50w oil instead of multigrade is partly because they don't care about start-up (where most engine wear occurs, due to thick oil taking longer to circulate), and also because multigrade can thin out or degrade if repeatedly exposed to extreme temperatures and pressures, particularly if the two grades are very far apart (like 5w50). A single grade synthetic is much more robust. Also many modern engines use such thin oil partly because of clearances, but also because thicker oil causes more drag and reduces engine efficiency slightly which contributes to increased emissions. It works fine for most applications, but can be fatal. BMW (among others) has had issues with engines seizing when driven hard due to the high temperature causing the tiny bearing clearances to close up and squeeze out the thin oil. Looser clearances with a nice, thick oil leaves a lot more expansion room in extreme conditions (such as racing), but then you may get more oil escaping past the rings and burning when running at lower temperatures. It's always a balancing act.

We figured Paolo wasn't there by the focus on the wallpaper texture! Ahaha you guys are great!, loved the oil topic and I too use Motul in my 77 Spider, 20/50 high zinc

[@THMSKA]

I was there and go every year with some friends, mind you up at Glen Cove. I definitely learned early on to pack more warm clothing, handwarmers, etc than should ever be necessary.

[@derekb5749]

.... Also the mixing board in the front and the difference in audio from both mics is somewhat funny too.

[@coreykononchuk]

Bummed I didn’t see DTS at Pikes this year - I live here, and I’m always surprised at how cold it is on the mountain! Jason, if you find yourself at Pikes Peak next year or any of the following years, and I meet you, I’m sorry in advance if I totally fangirl the way I did when I met Lieberman, and Farah, and Klapman. I appreciate your understanding.

[@revrdr600ho]

The Diesel Performance podcast has had folks from Amsoil and HotShot Secrets on explaining a lot of what you guys talked about and more regarding oil. Also, there is supposed to be a new standard coming out in a few years. The biggest contributor to oil longevity is filtration, and maintaining your TBN. If both of those are met, the oil can go great distances between change intervals.

[@AlainSTO]

I was right there with Eric on Climb Dance. It's the first thing I thought of when I saw the title, too.

[@WillowDailyShorts]

Thank you!!

[@jessemaassen9478]

Am I the only person wondering if Derek's fear of clapping is a real thing...? Whatever it is, it's funny :)

[@JK061996]

I've never been to Pikes Peak but since 2007 I've been going to the Trento-Bondone, which is my local hillclimb and is comparable to PPIHC in age (since 1925) and size (17.3 km/10.75 mi in length, 1,350 m/4,430 in elevation gain, ~180 corners). Thankfully the weather is much less extreme and it's easier to reach the various parts of the track. There is a wide variety of cars, both modern and historic. You'll find vehicles from WRC, DTM, F3000 etc. but there is no "unlimited" category like Pikes Peak.

[@anastasmateev]

Speaking about long gears...My 1998 306 GTi-6 made 115 km/h in second gear at the 7 250 limiter.

[@eichler721]

Great show and the Pikes Peak stuff and Muria stuff was great and interesting. Keep these coming

[@kubakozal9544]

I may be a little late to comment on this show, but I'm just making up all Carmudgeon shows I've missed... The Peugeot 405 Turbo 16 from Pikes Peak is basicaly a revised version of LWB 205 T16 from Dakar rally, with engine bored out to 1905 ccm and some other upgrades. It scored two wins in Dakar as 205, then two more as 405, and then... another four as Citroen ZX Rally-Raid...

[@Michael_Lorenson]

Throttle House experienced huge rev-hang in the Integra. Does it vary from car to car? If so, the problem is fixable.

[@nirfz]

The stories about Michelle Moutons first and second race at pikes peak are just epic. (Comming second in the first try with injection problems and Fabrizia Pons on the pasenger seat, and the Audi engineers calcualting that with the weight reduced by the little of the codriver weight, she would have won... And then the whole "she isn't allowed to drive outside of the race" where the mechanics had to push her in the car to the startline ect. in the second attempt wheres she won overall and was setting a record.) But to me as a european W. Röhrls race there also is iconic. Winning and setting a new record in his first attempt!

[@dan.r9220]

I was camping about 30 min south of pikes peak that same weekend. It rained and was cold all weekend, but that's not unusual weather or temperatures for that time of year and that elevation.

[@94Greenbean]

Yes, yes yes climb dance!!!!

[@PigglyWigglyDeluxe]

This and TST. Goats.

[@stevemartegani]

Jason: About oil weight and 0w20... Several common motors/vehicles have very different recommendations in different markets. The EA888 which almost every application in the US recommends 0w20, over seats there are recommendations for 5w30. The Subaru FA20 is the same, especially with the WRX and BRZ where in Japan they actually recommend 5w30 instead of 0w20. If you are in a warmer climate (like here in Cali and not going up to the snow in the winter) running the 5w30 is a smart idea.

[@thekeytoairpower]

I think you are misexplaining oil viscosity. A 10-30 acts like a 10 weight when it and rhe 10 weight are cold. It acts like a 30 does at temp. If you graphed each oils viscosity against temp you would have two basically parallel curves for the 10 and the 30 with the 10-30 crossing both at the respective Temps. As to modern low oil viscosity recommendations... smaller clearances sure but iirc stuff like DoD or the chrysler version thereof won't work with thicker oils.

[@OpenBarGarage]

What are the top three automotive podcasts that are above these guys?

[@mattstakeontheancients7594]

Really kicking myself for not going up to watch the hill climb knowing so many car KZbin guys were there. Live 20 mins from the mountain and completely forgot it was that weekend and Derek just say it’s the Pikes Peak Hill Climb. Hope you didn’t have any high altitude issues.

[@captialstupidity2187]

[@NO3V]

That "stock" 992 Turbo S, btw. was running (besides race seats and a cage) on race gas with a custom 100 octane ECU tune (+80hp allegedly) and a non-stock traction and stability control setup. Just sayin'.

[@spacepxl]

Stock hardware though, which just goes to show how much of a monster that car is from the factory. You could put a 100 octane tune on pretty much any turbo engine and make +10% hp, but that won't get you up the mountain in 10:XX minutes.

[@Blustride]

It was still remarkably close to cars weighing half as much with similar power and gobs of aero. It may not have been quite stock, but the fact that it was as stock as it was and still posted the second fastest time this year is incredible.

[@douglasshouganai2516]

I visited Mauna Kea. Similar elevation to Pikes Peak. Stayed twice as long as minimum recommended time at the base visitor station and then drove to the top. That thin atmosphere fucked me up real good. Don't feel like you're super out of shape, Hyphen. If you don't live in Denver already, year round, for multiple years, you'd inevitably feel like shit up there.

[@calebcaperton9459]

The focus rs called for 5w-50 oil if I remember correctly

[@TML34]

Was that before or after they blow their head gaskets?

[@calebcaperton9459]

[@sr420det]

If I remember correctly and this may not be true anymore but the higher the spread in oil number the more additives and the worse for protection. Prob came from amsoils q and a 20 years ago

[@TYAC_red]

Which cost less in the long-term: blueprint of the classic cars vs the actual one. With the blueprint, we can use modern manufacturing or custom work to make a reliable car with probably the same flair.

[@panavhulsurkar1260]

There's a better way to watch the hill climb. You sleep in your car at the base of the mountain on Saturday night, and hike up to the Devil's Playground on Sunday morning to watch the race for free... I heard it from a friend.

[@IanCharlesPearce]

Subaru does 5W-30 in JDM WRXs and 0W-20 in USDM WRXs.

[@CarToneHK]

That's why JDM Type R is the shit, much shorter gears

[@sofielee4122]

mobil also does both piston engine aero and turbine aero oil edit: they make a "storage oil" specifically for aircraft, its like 200w or something obnoxiously high like that, specifically to prevent corrosion: it leaves a coating on cylinder walls to keep them from corroding. does a similar thing exist for automotive applications?

[@idokwatcher2062]

The mythical BMW B58 which was supposedly "re-engineered by Toyota" (false statement) is burning oil so much many Supras were returned under lemon law. Nobody knows for sure why yet (e.g. are the arc jet coated cylinders scoring too easily?) but the oil from factory is very thin and so far owners have no other solutions but to change the grade of oil immediatelly and hope for the best.

[@coreygolpheneee]

Quite a few toyotas are known to burn oil, the Tundra comes to mind immediately, I wonder if it'd something to do with the cooling capacity as these very old engine designs essentially are having to move heavier and bigger vehicles every year.
