Only if he has to stay in the Russian modules.

England is weird.

If you’re gonna spend Type-R cash, you can just get a new STI. Unless you’re dumb like me and insist on a hatch. Then you have to spend the better part of a year finding one which hasn’t been abused or built to hell and back.

That’s usually how it works. PBTF will likely send the winner a statement certifying how much of it can be written off.

Canada has a 15 year law. I have considered renting a warehouse in Vancouver and storing a bunch of late-90s/early-2000s JDM cars to import to the US later. Could probably make a fortune, actually.

In principle, yes: there’s a clause in the law which says if the manufacturer certifies they are “substantially similar” you can bring it in. It’s primarily in there so that people who buy cars in Canada can bring their cars here if they move — CDM and USDM are essentially identical, except that CDM cars have the…

There are exceptions to this rule. Sometimes well constructed homemade clones of highly desirable never-USDM cars go for significantly more than the stock base. We never got an M5 touring here, and I saw an E39 525i Touring with a 500+ hp LS7 swap and a bunch of handling upgrades go for close to $40k last year. It was…

The 86/BRZ is mostly a Toyota product. The engine is the only part built primarily by Subaru, and it still uses Toyota’s direct injection system instead of the one developed for the WRX. I don’t know how much to trust it, but if you read the Toyota design team’s account of how the 86 was born, they claim they got to…

I assume you also want a flathead engine rather than OHV? Or would you prefer a two-stroke?

Money can’t buy happiness, but it can sometimes save you a lot of hassle, which is often just as good.

I know my fair share of racists. Without exception, it’s a product of either upbringing or mental illness. Normal people don’t take the kind of negative interactions we tend to have with others (particularly negative ones) and extrapolate them to make judgements about whole categories of people without some…

That’s a tuning issue. Get an Ecutek and talk to a tuner.

Agreed: if you’re gonna clamor about needing more power, you shouldn’t be satisfied until it’s got more than a Demon!

If you have both though you are really lucky, not many can design and build a system, it is usually one way or the other, design it or build it.

Everyone in a technical field that involves equipment, whether that’s science or engineering, should be getting hands-on experience.

What was her day job?

Do you mean Kingsport? Kingston is just west of Farragut on I-40.

Highway 20, between Cedar Falls and Sioux City. Especially the part west of I-35. Three hours of the flattest terrain imaginable, no landmarks, nothing to look at all the way to the horizon (if the corn isn’t so high that it’s basically a tunnel), no decent radio stations, and big areas with no cell service.
