Let me get this straight. Not only did someone make a faster BRZ (something that Toyota/Subaru alternately tell people they cannot or will not do), but they used a snowmobile motor AND it gets 100mpg? I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

*has note on house door that firemen are not to use axes in case of rescue attempt during fire*

Solid axles are still part of unsprung weight- only inboard rotors on IRS setups actually reduce unsprung mass. Rotors on the diff would mean less rotational mass- Which doesn’t matter here. Diff brakes are easier and better on these kinds of trucks for a number of reasons- less encumbrance on components on the…

I used to call that BRZ/FR-S syndrome. But now since the Dart is disappearing entirely, I think I’ll call it the Dart Paradox.

Where is the Dart’s answer to the Focus ST-style small performance car? The most FCA seemed to do was throw graphics packages and nostalgic variant names at it. I was very disappointed. I went to the NYIAS the year the Dart premiered, and I was super excited about its future....and then FCA let it fizzle.....like…

Noise? How the heck is noise a factor in the fix?

I want those buttons. Also that camaro concept. I want them nao.

Little did people know- this would be prettier than the 4th gen F bodies.

Upper port Incom engine was calibrated 3% off. In space, that’ll make you snap so violently that even Porkins would feel weightless.

Nonono. I’d rather deal with craigslist sellers, eccentricities, misrepresentation, and all, before trying to shop at a dealer. Poorly worded, sorry.

“Yes Cindy, I’m giving your asshole brother Bill a job here today. No, I think he’s useless. He was what? Drinking this morn- ”

I would pursue (and have) several dozen craigslist deals before I would step foot on a dealer lot. I usually leave infuriated and thinking I’ve wasted a few hours of my life. The inevitable call back the next day with “We crunched the numbers and came up with X more savings, if you’d like to come back down!” is even…

Crack Pipe! Which is figurative, because if this XR4Ti was a literal crack pipe, it would be one that somehow left you stranded on the side of the road every time you tried to use it.

This is Marchionne’s plan to literally crowd the other competition out of the market..and off the roads.

I count MAYBE 15k worth of parts, with the frontend bits and the transmission being by far the most expensive (if purchased new). The interior..the metalwork....the details..that is what costs $$$- not a junkyard LS. The current owner must be billing his time at $100/hr and including that in the estimate of his…

It’s so inconvenient to read those articles, though. I have to put on my BMW black leather keyboard typing gloves, wear my requisite BMW sunglasses, get on my lifestyle brand suitpants, and then prepare overly aggressive, deliberately vague comments talking about the ethos of the car and how the driving feel evokes…

The quality on this build is blowing my mind. To those who understand what this guy did, this is seriously quality work!

Professionalist Autozone Accessorization

The bigger issue is the ethanol that turns into orifice-clogging corrosive jelly. It has become a maintenance nightmare for older cars. I’m talking 1 month or less of letting it sit without stabilizer, and there is enough buildup to plug the jets on a carburetor....

Hope it goes better than my first water cooled performance endeavor.
