TRACK DAY BRO

That's like saying, "why buy a Zamboni when I can but a Cessna?"

I love those little buggers! I work for a university in PA and we have several of those for our housing staff. They have a gazillion miles on them by now I'm sure but they are universally loved by everyone here. They're all stick too, of course, and for many of the same people who now love them it was their first real…

Can't we just try to get a UN decision to merge Japan and Italy? The would get along so well.

An engine torque mount (or rear motor mount) from the e-focus really improves the feel of the transmission.

Every day after work. My entrance ramp has a stop sign right before it, and you bet your ass I punch it Han Solo style.

See those ramps that are folded up at the back of the platform? They should be folded up at the front, too, but they're not because there's some long wood planks in the way. This is what you get when you hire amateurs who don't know rigging and tiedowns to lift your car.

You know why your coilovers' instruction manual says the recommended drop is 1.5 inches? Yeah, there's a reason for that.

You must know my friend Icarus.

Made this from garbage

Here's one I made out of a carboard shipping box

Here's the plan:

Non-turbo Volvo 745s: function, function, function. No fashion, no pretense. No gizmos. No doo dads. Four cylinders of rear-drive, live-axle transportation, and did I mention function?

Volvo 740 wagon.

"Oh my God, it's still running! Can you believe it? I CAN'T! The fact that my car can still move under its own power has restored my faith in a higher power! Those four rings? It's like the four signs of stigmata! Owning my Audi is like being a real-life Job- minus the lucky bits. But it's all worth it because when it…

BMW, yeah that's a good one. But I never hear the end of it from Tacoma or Jeep owners. In the the off-roading community, anyone who doesn't have a Jeep or Tacoma "should immediately sell your ride and buy a Tacoma or Jeep".

I remember the first heater core I helped a friend replace on an Aerostar. I think I bought every shape and size of needle nose pliers available, and ended up bending the tips after heating with a torch on a pair about 18" long. Still have those pliers!

He means that while it's rear engined it's shoved so far forward in the engine bay that it's almost mid-engined. Like how a Nissan 370Z/G37 Coupe are "Front-mid-engined" because the engine is shoved back behind the front axle and right against the firewall. This thinking by the way also led to the inaccessible spark…

If your newish VAG car has a V6, prepare yourself, because the front will have to come off for everything. twelvehappymen:
