So, it's 32 degrees this morning and foggy. This afternoon it is going to be 60+ and sunny. I have a meeting across town after work, so I decide I will suffer through the morning ride to have my bike in the sun. I load up my gear, strap on my backpack, and take off thinking the cold will be the worst part of the…
There is no NP option in this one... I even posted nearly the whole ad so people wouldn't think it was a typo in the title price.
It's raining and windy here, but I needed to run to the body shop. The only vehicle I have handy right now is the Ninja and I wanted to get her out and about again anyway so I grabbed my gear and went to fire her up. She sounds a bit puny on the starter and won't spring to life. I assume it's just a low battery and…
This revised HKS supercharger kit would be amazing for the wife's BRZ... too bad it carries the HKS name tax and probably would make me do internals on her engine to use it's full potential... but still...
It's a bit spendy for what it is, but I understand the guy trying to get some money back out of the mods. Obviously it would have to be raised up to be practical for much, but it would be so much fun for sliding around in the crap weather when I don't want to worry about the paint on my Z.
I apologize in advance. I started writing this as a simple observation and analysis in order to help people understand the importance of perspective differences, but it got away from me. It is very long and delves into far more detail that I had originally intended and maybe mostly rambling trying to explain things…
After driving it home, I'm convinced I must have been very bad in a past life. I think I may do a review of it out of spite.
I had to chain the BRZ to get home. After a Californian goober freaked out and stopped in the middle of the road killing everyone's momentum it was time to just do it and make life easier.
You know the one. During a normal scan of listings you find one of the cars on "your list" and it's in an acceptable color combination. You open the ad and see it has acceptable miles and has been well maintained. It's well priced and you start to get excited. You start scrolling through the pictures while trying to…
Well, the day is off to a great start. I was sitting at a light, waiting to make a left hand turn. Behind me was a woman in an SUV with a huge disabled parking pass hanging from her window and a bunch of other random cars behind her. As the light turns green I take off and make the turn, but just as I cross the…
I just saw this come through my Facebook feed and thought I would share since there was just a discussion on compound boosting applications. This appears to be BorgWarner's attempt to merge a compound turbo system into a single turbo. This one is designed for BMW's new diesel applications.
WARNING: This will be very long and have very few pictures. Due to the length of this post, I will discuss the only one vehicle and try to not to give specifics that may identify the owner (I don't want to embarrass them about their purchase further).
I don't have pics of the final paint job yet, but it looks really white in this pic sanded down ready to be sent to final paint. We were installing the engine before hand so that we didn't have to set it in the car over fresh paint.
It may not be my favorite car, and I may make fun of it a lot, but it was good fun in the snow. Bald OEM economy tires aren't great in the snow, so I think I maybe placing an order for better shoes soon.
... and I got a chance to see it in real life. Someone bought it and brought it down to the shop I work with on my cars. Here's a link to the post I made about the CL ad:

This guy did the same swap I'm doing and it looks to have been done well. Price is fairly reasonable. If I didn't have some much money and time into my car, I would have had to seriously consider this one.
I only followed you a short distance from the freeway to a surface street, but in that time you proved your worthiness for the prize. Even though it was light traffic and early in the morning, you cut me off twice without a blinker, made 4 more lane changes without blinkers (one of which was into a lane for less than…
I know it can't be real, and part of me is thankful of that. I would feel really bad if this were a real 432 that had been customized... but it's a great piece of art. Wish it were possible to actually get mags like that on my car without going broke in the process.
Edit: I think it's the center locks I really want.…
This is just painfully bad. I really hoped someone would accidently fix the FP design before it leaked over here. Why are you trying to dump all the information to text like it's the 1990's or this is a basic school web development assignment. You can simplify the whole thing with very simple tab simulation or sort…
to someone who had no idea what it was or what the update cycle was like. Then I realized that I had heard a very similar one before...
