So what you’re saying is, the Resistance is futile?

Spend $25 and do it yourself, knowing it gets done right, or spend $60+ and have no real idea whether it was done right or not.

Do you just deliberately pick misleading titles or do you not read your own blog?

I choose to believe that George Lucas has a secret underground lab beneath Skywalker Ranch where a man from a crashed ship has been locked up since the 70s... & that the entire universe and story of Star Wars is just the man recounting his and his peoples history. Of course Lucas made a few changes to polish it up…

that is the best sounding 4cyl I’ve ever heard.

That’s just not true. Sorry differ but there are people getting stupid amounts of power out of VW GTI’s with just a bit of software updates and some minor parts changes. There’s an entire industry built around ECU flashes. If the car has a Turbo and a modern ECU there’s LOTS of things that can be done without even…

You’re assuming an unlimited budget and perfect conditions. Factory cars are under-tuned from what their components can handle to decrease issues and increase lifespan. It’s not that they’re designed with the aftermarket in mind, but they are always designed to have lots of headroom. For example: http://jalopnik.com/ho…

That’s funny because here is a dyno comparing a high end high flow cat to having no cat. That’s gain of 23hp and 27tq through the powerband...

Meh depends on the car for example, on certain GT500’s there is a power cap that you can hit before the engines melt the cats into useless slag and cause engine failure in certain situations. Generally on the earlier cars (pre knock sensor and wideband) its around 600 wheel horsepower. The later model cars don’t…

This article is horribly misleading. What did you do for your research a few Google searches?

The loudest “enthusiasts” tend to be the stupidest. I hated how often at car shows I would see grand prix GTPs or regal GSs with “short ram” intakes that were basically a cone on the throttle body. On the 3800 with a supercharger, this basically puts it right on top of the motor. Do NOT try to inform them that it is…

While I agree with the content of your post, I disagree with the tone and idea. Cars are uniquely personal and if Jason stuck with his this long, than by god it’s the car for him and I’m glad they fixed it.

I’m calling bullshit on that self-serving statement. On the 2000 Saab 9-3 I had, it was well known that you can chip it and have your 185HP/205HP (depending on whether you have the base or SE model) 4cyl engine make 240HP. But doing that also meant that 91 octane fuel becomes mandatory. Also upgrading the upper engine…

You didn’t mention the area where it has huge benefits. When you tune a forced induction engine you will tune it for more boost pressure typically. This is usually done specifically for premium gasoline. A tune designed for 93 octane, and in some cases 25-50% more boost will have a very significant increase on engine…

I’ve owned two examples of the 2nd best handling e30, the ‘91 318is. Saying it handles better than the MINI platform that the FWD BMWs will be built on is HIGHLY debatable. Differently, certainly, better, not so sure. BMW certainly knows how to make fine handling FWD cars, they have been doing it for almost 15 years…

I’m an associate attorney at a large family law firm. I spend an inordinate amount of time (for which I’m billing) combing through facebook and instagram profiles looking for bad shit my client’s ex and my client post on the internet.

They are bringing the anime outside Japan so that’s their call. This censorship is obvious - children can’t go to the beach or pool till they are 21, so they won’t see muscles on bikinis until then, no matter what.

So anime is only to be judged by the amount of time and money spent on animating it?

Gotta go against you on that "don't bring your own helmet" thing. Don't know where you're at, Alex, but there's no way in hell I'm sharing a helmet with the general Los Angeles public, especially after I spent good money on my own. I say bring your own helmet and don't talk shit.
