I think it will be you moving on in the end. If a post is out of your understanding because it is beyond your understanding.........just move on. It obviously wasn't meant for you to read! Just because you can't handle the power of the Condrad, dude... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M 800STD 586 Posted January 27, 2017 @IronSights If your comments are for me then read on, if not ignore. Your hilarious. Calm down before you give yourself a heart attack. No I don't get it, so what? No one has crapped in any ones backyard. "Get ready to deal with the consequences" Are you for real, we're not at school. Or are you a school kid? "I think it will be you moving on in the end." I am a newbie and may move on, but it will my decision and certainly not influenced by you. A Forum is a Public place where people with similar interests share their knowledge. It would appear that you have a lack of understanding of this concept. Have a good day! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mad Ax 9329 Posted January 27, 2017 That won't save you from the Curse of the Conrad, @M 800STD. You think you'll be sprinting down the road in your Nikes, you won't be ready for that Conrad ripping up the tarmac behind you like a loose stone saw... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pumesta 407 Posted January 31, 2017 I heard that BMW originally planned to fit a Conrad in the I8 but the traction control couldn't cope with the tyre shredding power 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shodog 1835 Posted May 23, 2017 I can't believe it. After 14 years of searching on eBay I've finally found one. It's being shipped from Hong Kong as I type Now I have to decide what car to put it in. The power is going to be explosive and I need to figure out which of my cars has a transmission that can handle the torque of this motor. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buggyjam 144 Posted May 24, 2017 This thread is so curious. Started in 2003! I've been reading and still can't work it out, is this the chuck Norris of motors or something? :-) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen's discovery of the electromagnetic radiation in a wavelength, harking back to 1895, plays a vital role in the construction of the Conrad 240826. Due to the tremendous power output for its small size, this motor was named in honor after the nobel prize winning physicist. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The odd thing is that if you run it backwards, it sings a message from the devil..... want to know what it says??? It for-tells that in late 2005 a rare and sought after model will be re-released......the motor claims this model to be.....the Most Holy Sand Scorcher.......... I have since surrounded the motor with garlic and sprayed it with holy water. Its still sings to me. Finally, I burnt it at the stake. This is an evil motor and all examples should be sent back whence it came. What voltage did you use to run it backwards? The Conrad got the message right just the wrong year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
