Thread: Whats your Cylinder Index?

I got this idea from a radio show "Garage Logic" over in Minnesota back when I lived there and I thought it would be cool to do here.

Basically your C.I. or Cylinder Index is the total of cylinders in all of the cars/trucks/cycles/lawnmowers/etc that you personally own. No company vehicles or whatever. As long as you own it(or you & the bank) and it has a piston. Rotaries don't count either.

A good C.I. should be equal to your age.

For example, when I was 25, I owned 2 vans, 2 small cars, and a Kawasaki (V8 x 2, + I4 x 2, + 1cyl) = 25 CI.

Now my CI is 6. My age is 34 so hmmm, not good.

Whats yours?

me personally:

CI: 9 (4cyl scoob, 4cyl CBR1000, 1cyl lawn mower)

my household (considering i work on all of them) goes up by 6 for jackies jeep and 4 more for her ninja250.

Bonne 6
Regal 6
Truck 8
Mower 2
Weed killer 1
Leaf blower 1
Power washer 1
Quad 1

I'm at 26

GP = 6
P.O.S-10 = 8
if blown up motors count, i have 10 more... i have 24 pistons but only 6 are in use at the moment, i'm failing

Yes blown up motors count, as long as there is a piston in a cylinder.

If you had a V8 missing a piston then it would count as 7. Running or not.

And most of us won't come close to our age in CI, but thats the target

well, their out of the cylinder at the moment, but i have two blocks. but one block only has 5 useable cylinders.

i'm making a calculus equation out of this b!tch

CI:17
I'm 17, pretty close i'd say. lol

ive got a whoping 6

14. The GTP has 6, possibly 5 since it's been parked and found a smashed plug, and I have a Fiero in a field I own with 8.

GA-4
truck 8
gp 6
harley 2

So im at 20 and I turn 20 in 3 days.

ci-30 age 20
(gtp-6
(05gto-8
(72gto-8
(73GA-8
(skateboard-0

6

so an 18 year old should have 2 to 3 cars? 10+8 or 8+6+4. or be badass and have 12+6

GP-6
Eclipse-6
im 32

GTP-6

Might have more after this tour...

Lets see, I'm 30

Grand Prix - 6
Stealth - 6 (x3)

So thats 24 for me personally. If I still had the other 2 3000GT's then wed be at 36. If we added all the cars we have ever owned it would be ridiculous.

Now if you add the rest of the household

Neon - 4
Neon dirt track car - 4
Grand Cherokee - 6
Cherokee - 6
Caliber - 4
G5 - 4

and we are now up to 52.

comp=6
Altima=6
Lawn mower= 1
Yamaha=2
Weed wacker=1
Various motors in my shed =14

So I have 30 and am a few years from that. Woohoo I'm doin ok
