Serious question: why don't we milk horses?
We milk cows, sheep, goats, and probably some other large mammals that I've overlooked. Horses are just as common as, and much larger than, sheep and goats, so you'd think that the economics of breeding them for milk would be just as viable.
And yet I've never eaten horse cheese.

Presumably it is not consumed by western countries due to the small quantities produced per pound of body mass. Horse breeds used primarily for milk production simply haven't been developed in the same way that cows and goats have.
It could also be attributed to preferences in flavor or an unwillingness to drink milk from an animal with cultural significance or pet status.
In addition, horses have a very long pregnancy period (nearly a year) which limits the milk production time.
Regardless, it is not uncommon in some Asian nations and regions in Russia to drink horse milk.

Oh man... It's been a couple months away from the forum but I came back as I always do and will... anyway I see "turbo 1.6 ??"
Thoughts:
1) Same stupid questions I guess they will infinitely come.
2) This should be a quality read
3) Hmmm this dude didn't get raped by everyone
4) If this dude does search for 1.6 turbo he will find more threads like his then actual build threads.
5)He will find even more threads that tell him to swap motors xD and lots of posts by brain saying what a limp dick his 1.6 is...
Thread wasn't what I thought it would be. I'm so proud of everyone for being so mature.
Advice to OP: Just as 18psi has mentioned several times (he has mentioned it several times for good reason). Take your time, read, and educate yourself. I know you are turbo in hand and anxious. That's cool you're excited but you will feel so much more confident and have a massively better time and experience with patience. Highly recommend dealing with someone like fm and spending the extra $1000 or more. If you have to save an extra 6 months or whatever it is worth the wait. You will get to spend a lot more time driving your car then staring at it parked
