hawkeye also had a revised dccd which incorporated a limited slip, and 07 brought a torsen rear differential. Interiors are slightly different as well. Yes its mild. Hawkeye also looks better :)
The Gymkhana Files is on Amazon Prime and basically goes through this.
The first one or two was like old-new Top Gear. Then it became like the Grant Tour
Srsly, tho. How ARE they going to fit it in that parking lot? LA has so much radwood, not sure this is the best venue.
Someone needs to drive the Amalfi coast mountain roads and reconsider his opinion. Especially when you have about a thousand scooters and small fiats on you ass and passing on blind bends.
I currently have Dunlop ZII Stars on one car that sees street and occasional track driving and another car which just had BFG Rival-S and now is wearing R888R’s for street driving. I also have an extra set of wheels for the second car with slicks on them. Some of us just like to have grippy tires for fun driving all…
Invest in the Miata? Like a really rich Aestheticsinmotion?
That’s my favourite track. That same day I managed a 1:39.74, also the driver not being so good.
You know what I experienced in Europe for intra-Schengen flights? No ID check at all, and automated gates at security and at the entrance of the plane. It was wonderful! Just scan your boarding pass and move along, more like a subway turnstile.
Or ban stupid people.
There is a MUCH easier solution.
Shhhh... Enough of us already have precheck...shhhh.
Rust...rust was an issue for the GD. I live in the rust belt and my car was starting to show signs of the famous rust spots on the front suspension/subframe areas.
Unmodified or lightly modified 2006-07 WRX. They have that excellent 2.5 engine, the transmission was designed to handle the torque by that time, and they have the 4-pot and 2-pot brakes from the 90's Z car. I rarely see one of these on the road for some reason, they probably have all been wrecked. I owned a 2007 and…
Working on someone else’s car is always less stressful and more fun than working on your own.
Either that, or we’ll ditch it in a junkyard somewhere and continue on in the Willys.
Car is equipped with LIDAR and multiple other night and day sensors to detect exactly that sort of thing. Those sensors are absurdly expensive and if they couldn’t detect a person in the middle of the road, then what is the point of those sensors at all? At first I was defending the tech, but from this video it was…
Have you tried the old “put ‘er in first before reverse” method? I picked it up with a ‘12 Impreza of all vehicles and have had it ingrained in my head ever since. Works well in the NA Miata and ‘01 Tundra.
Yeah DC is extra bad with the diagonal streets, Philly is nice to live in in the city because there are random car guys out there just working on their cars in the middle of downtown (since they don’t have silly “car must move every 72 hrs” rules or something like that). There was the guy around the corner always…
