    The most pretentious goth ever.. On YouTube!

    I was browsing the SomethingAwful forums, and came across this guy. He really is pathetic in everything from his over done facial expressions, to his fake accent, his word choice, everything. I feel bad for the guy, it must suck to be so insecure that you need to publicly make yourself that...

    No Spark, Oil and carbon all over plugs (pics)

    So I'm driving on the freeway heading down to go to a party and help WeezL out with his car, when all the sudden, the motor just dies. No sputtering, weird noises, puffs of smoke, it just dies. I pull over (mind you while its pourding down rain, windy, and bigass trucks are roaring by), I've...

    How to test the wastegate?

    Ok so I've gone over my intake with a fine tooth comb, and the only thing I (and pete, WeeZL) can think of is a bad wastegate. I can build boost only to 2 psi. My BOV works fine, I've got no air leaks at any couplers, or gaskets, or anything. The turbo is still VERY much spooling, but the car...
