HAHA We had the cheaper Plymouth Voyager when I was a kid...

Agreed...hell in my 190D 2.2 that put out a whopping 72hp brand new (it was 25 years old when I had it) required some serious pre-planning when attempting to merge onto I-95 or the Capitol Beltway.

Kinda hard to repair/replace a Picasso...you can easily repair/replace a car.

Top Gear did it in an ND with all seasons already on the John Dalton Hwy. http://www.topgear.com/car-news/adven…

94% !!elvendy11! tax rate on income over $200K under FDR...

Unfortunately, this is nothing new. I-95 between Balto and the Capital Beltway as well as the beltway- primarily in the summer - has been a proving ground for these guys at least since the late 90’s. Then there are the roving gangs of ATV riders who fuck around on DC streets...http://dcist.com/2015/12/more_a…

Ant Man hands down....no longer need to use the wifes delicate skinny fingers for those tough to reach spots. And talk about easy to diagnose engine issues....

Unless its DeMuro!

Not too crazy, but fun and funny. Was around 10pm at a stoplight with a 90’s Mustang to my left and me in my 5 speed‘94 MX-3 (with a whopping 98hp). Jokingly I look to my left and wink at the girl driving the mustang and give a light rev on the throttle. Light goes green and I do a fairly quick start up to the 35mph…

Yes. They are fouling their turbos, exhaust valves, and egr like no other. Not to mention wasting fuel that generally costs as much as premium.

Let me tell you, it’s a daily occurrence where people try to change lanes into me. I’ve become hyper aware since I started driving the MX-5.

Is this the model with the Self Leveling Suspension (SLS) - hopefully not...those are a bitch to restore.

No! At least not with all ECU’s, a lot of more modern ECU’s don’t work well with piggyback systems. Think of the piggyback as a Game Genie to give you more lives in super mario, and flashing as recoding the game itself to give you more lives.

Most emissions tests are ODBII, so not really an issue if you’re flashing. Not that I encourage that type of behavior for street use.

This. If i recall correctly my ‘13 NC ECU has over 300 maps with double that number of cross references between them. VERY COMPLICATED. Requires some dedicated folks and a donor car to crack it and piggybacking isn’t typically a viable option for this ECU either!

Further are we making a distinction from flashing and piggybacked chips?

There are some other things tuning helps with though. For example: In Mazda’s stock NC ECU there is a torque adjust “feature” for 2nd gear that uses the drive by wire to limit torque in that gear. That drove me bonkers! Deleting that feature was a huge improvement for me, while Mazda has that feature to make the…

I had this one with my brother growing up...pretty sick

I spent HOURS organizing my cars and creating crazy ass tracks...crashing shit together. Ah the memories...need to find out where my collection ended up - had over 100 combined hotwheels and matchbox cars.

Yea right...Santa can’t fit those down the chimney (according to my mother when I was 5)
