Yes! and add in one of the off the shelf tunes that give a decent power/torque bump to that turbo 2.0

I drove a 1992 Prelude for a couple winters in Bend, OR and even with snow tires that car was pretty bad in the snow. With summer tires (BFG Sport Comp2) it couldn’t even get out of of the tiny uphill exit from my flat apartment parking lot with 1" of snow on it. My family’s CRVs were 100x better, and my brothers…

5-mile is awesome, did my first ever track day there a month ago

Thunderhill West, just spend all weekend there!

Only one car on this list retains it’s factory warranty for track use: the SS 1LE. Not sure that matters much to Ben, but worth noting. It’s also track ready out of the box, but given his level of experience it would be wise to upgrade the brake fluid and install the track brake deflectors and rotor dust cover which…

6 gen Camaros are very competitive in D street, specifically the 2.0T. https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=477232
I’m specifically omitting the CAM-C class for obvious reasons but it is funny to see 2.0T Camaros beating out GT350s in that class. I’m also 100% biased since I love my V6 1LE Camaro more than…

I don’t believe the factory tails are actually reflective (at least my Gen 6 Camaro tails were not and neither are the factory dark tails), hence the need for reflectors in the lower bumper. The factory side marker lights are also reflectors, but I don’t know if the aftermarket side markers are. Legally there need to…

I did almost the opposite, I put on the GM dark tail lights and 3rd brake lights, but kept the reflectors (rear and side) to serve their legal purpose. I don’t like to give LEOs an easy excuse to pull me over.

The Beyond update definitely extended the fuel supply for the mining laser and terrain manipulator.

According to the configurator, the performance exhaust and intake from the P51 package adds 495 horsepower. That brings the total up to 990hp, not too shabby, hahaha

2nd Gen (82-88) Toyota Tercel

0-60 the Automatic is faster stock because no boost loss on shifts. If you find a manual transmission Sky Redline or Solstice GXP with a tune (Trifecta or GMPP) it will give you no-lift-shift negating that advantage. The main disadvantage is the inability to cage one for proper track driving without hacking the…

I use them, they don’t catch much wind but because they are built more like a standard wiper with a rubber boot over it they don’t handle severe cold weather very well. Went to Lake Tahoe during a storm and the water that gets up under the boot froze and prevented the wipers from making clean contact with the…

One time on a long motorcycle trip I started to get a really awesome helmet-opening shaped sunburn through my helmet visor so I started putting sunscreen on my whole face. Everything went according to plan until I went through road construction where the road turned to dirt and dust got in my eyes, which made my eyes…

I also feel like this would scratch the surface of the visor over time, plastic visors are not nearly so durable as glass.

Having tried many different helmets over the years my Shark helmets have been the best at remaining fog-free, and if that isn’t enough certain models like my Speed-R include a pinlock insert. The only downside I see is that I get slightly funky point light source reflections since you are looking through 2 panes of…

I recently put a set of General Grabber AT2 tires on my 4x4, They are all terrain, severe snow (snowflake mountain symbol) rated tires with a 60,000 mile treadwear warranty. They meet the requirements of a severe snow service tire and are studdable as well. Would a dedicated snow tire be better in the snow?…

I wonder if they blue themselves, or if they met up ahead of time and blue each other...

The FZ-09 actually has rear preload and rebound adjustment. Both need to be near maxed out for me at 185 lbs fully geared up. The factory rebound settings front and rear are so close to minimum that it’s scary. That said, even properly adjusted the factory suspension is only good up to a moderate street pace, once you…
