Heh, I still firmly believe that the majority of Americans are actually Libertarians at heart, they just have been tricked into thinking otherwise. What part of, "leave me alone to live my life how I see fit, and I'll do the same in return," doesn't resonate with people the world over? No...

The Silent Hipower has an interesting method of sound attenuation, before the tip, it allows some of the air to get cycled into where the packing material is. It's tolerable at speed, and I don't think my specific case is a fair review of it, because my rear floor pan is a fairly thin sheet of...

You know, a C6 Z06 would have been a smarter car for me than my Mk3, they fill very similar missions, and yet the Vette would have been done and reliable, out of the gate, for probably half of what I have into my Mk3, and an S2000, as I'm sure you're well aware, is a better Miata. Yet, here I...

Mark, very cool of ya to post up the schedule this far in advance. It would be a LONG way for someone like me, out here in the desert of northern nothingness, to visit any of these tracks. They're all so far away I honestly don't even have the slightest clue which would be closest haha. Still...

Pretty sure old VW's can be fixed MacGuyver style, but your insight about the Cayenne might explain the depreciation I see on those. Every once in a while, I think to myself, if I HAD to have an SUV... ...it'd be a Land Cruiser. :p Yeah, Photocucket's greed really boned the internet... I'm...

Heh, I was about to say, that is wholly inappropriate to be teaching to high schoolers, but then I google'd BJJ... Whew! :p This is true, I have a buddy who works(ed?) at the Pentagon in a similar field. It's interesting to see his opinions on things. Seeing folks like him in our government...

Hmm, my belt is always on the smallest hole, since I didn't think beyond, "hey this fits on the last hole, it'll work," rather than buying a belt I was in the middle hole on... amusing way of saying I could easily expand on the belt front. However, it's a fairly substantial leather stud belt...

Abe, i looked into that type of holster, and tried a rudimentary test to see if the idea would work for me, but trying to get a gun that's nearly an inch wide out from between my body and the pants seemed like it would be rather difficult. Either I wear fairly baggy pants and they don't stay up...

Got to have steak and eggs (and hash browns!) for breakfast this morning. Turns out, that's way tastier than cereal! Yet... I still ended up needing my second breakfast a few hours later. Go figure. :p

Running a dry sump 1jz here actually... only one in the world that I'm aware of, because most people who dry sump Supras are smart enough to do it with a 2j haha. I'd consider a sequential, or a twin clutch, but deep down I really like manually shifting. It's a lot more involving. Electric...

I certainly wouldn't worry about it on an NA, if one were to start seeing excessively high EGT's, then there might be cause for concern. When my car was tuned, I was seeing AFR's between 11.5 and ~11.9 to one. Runs great and temps stay quite reasonable. Ahh, good catch 3P! I forgot that the NA...

Never saw you as being one to work for the government bud... solid job though.

Well that's some happy horse shit... no surprise though, and yet one more reason IL is one of the states on my "will not visit" list. Shame too, you guys have some fantastic pizza, and Galloping Ghost arcade. The E-Rod engines, you're speaking of. Certainly not a bad option, even if the LS3 in...

Count me in for support on restoration products. Personally, my list of things I see as problems on a lot of cars: -Window trim -Side / belt line trim -Window seals -Tail lights and gaskets -Hatch gaskets -Cowl panels -Dash and all other interior panels I would seriously put mine back to mostly...

Mario, Mike pokes his head in once in a while, I can't recall the last time I saw Teresa or Ian, unfortunately. Place just isn't quite the same without them, I must admit. Glad to hear you're doing the ranch life. Not really my thing, but I do have a lot of respect for those that can and do...

Trouble (if you can call it that) is that I'm fairly skinny. It's difficult to conceal much of anything on me without wearing a jacket. I'll find something eventually, but for now the 1911 suits the need.

Smart move. ;)

What bummed me out about RMNP was that the fun, relatively safe portion of the road was cursed with poor visibility. Trees man... trees everywhere! I'm not used to that in southern Wyoming haha. Lot of blind corners, behind which the occasional idiot in a minivan or SUV is pulled over in the...

Hard for me to say, I prefer analyzing graphs plotted against rpm, rather than power against speed. That second one always seems weird to me. Either way, looks like peak power is around 4000 rpm? That is really weird. OP, you say, "AFM 6teeth adjusted" and I'm not sure what you're referring to...

I know how that goes, I blame my buddies Andrew and Clint for getting me into these cars in the first place. My project is a fine line between street car and track car, so it is a LOT heavier than yours, but it makes a great road trip car to get to far away tracks, so it works out. It's...
