WoodsWagon Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Don't do it on less than a 1/4 tank of gas. I was out trying to reproduce a steering problem that my mom's outback is having, and I was whipping right hand nuts in a parking lot. Well, enough gas sloshed to one side of the tank, and the pump sucked air. Car was choking and sputtering for a bit. So I went and filled it up:grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyhorse001 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 It's NEVER a good Idea to whip nuts... there are serious side effects to it. The choking & sputtering indicate just a moderate whipping, whereas swelling & a REALLY strange walk would indicate a severe whipping. Either way, you'd be reaching the upper rev ranges for a sustained period of time. This can produce high pitched squeaks. I'm not sure what effect gas would have on whipping nuts, but I'd guess that it would allow it to be expelled very rapidly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OB99W Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Maybe I'm naive, but I've never before heard the term that 91Loyale used. I think I know what crazyhorse001 is writing about, but it doesn't seem to be at all the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OB99W Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Okay, I really do know the term "doughnuts" or "donuts", but what fun would there be in that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Yes that post title is enough to make one double over. Nonetheless whilst whipping nuts without much fuel it must be that the fuel pump suction pulls air. Perhaps a foam/baffled fuel cell would work better? Or a full tank. Even then whipping nuts should be done with great care. Was this forward or reverse nut whipping? mmm....Timmy's donits... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uberoo Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I have never whipped a nut,but I have flipped a b*tch.Does that count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodsWagon Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 Reverse nuts = borked CV's I was doing forward nuts. Am I a hick if I call making extremely tight fast circles with the back end of the car swung out in a parking lot whipping nuts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artistic_gore Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I thought that was donuts.And a really fast U turn is flipping a b*tch...weird. I flipped a b*tch once; I then flipped the outback over down an embankment and into a tree. That was a bad day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Hm...didn't know that about the cv's if whipping nuts in reverse. * The Triple Chocolate Donut is currently only available in Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frag Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Another reason to invade adanac nipper Since Canadians are in fact Americans on rye, no invasion needed. Just paper work should be enough to put 9 more stars to your spangled banner... And, yes, a box of chocolate doughnuts to sweeten the pill. Edit = , just in case...
