Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

You're worrying me man

Woke up around 7:30am with a headache, caught some more sleep and I feel all good now. Legs are a bit sore but that's to be expected.

 

All good though. :)

Well pushing an suv you risk more in the area of a hernia. 

Feels like I was more likely to pull a muscle around my ankle. Shit's not possible uphill with the calipers kinda seized and the wheel bearings are kinda bad too. Broke to the tow rope three times too, that made for a fantastic night of freezing on the side of a highway.

Nobody got it right while I was away.

 

It was a stuck open EGR valve. 

What does that do?

miata with paddle isn't all that fast... Miata with turbo LS motor and a paddle is a different story.

Hey, about to get a Nissan Skyline R34 GT N/A (no turbo version because stupid laws say that when you are on P plates, you can't have any type of forced induction) anyway, im planning to put some body kits on it to make it look like the GTR V-spec, but down the track I want to know if its possible to convert the drivetrain from RWD to AWD?

 

I would buy an actual GTR V-spec if they didn't cost $70,000, so I'm sorta planning to make a "poor man's" GTR V-spec.

 

I can get an RB26DETT and the original dashboard computer for $9000 and the car for $12,000 and the body kits and respray for $7500.  So is it possible to convert this RWD to a AWD with $10,000 to $15,000?

 

Thanks and sorry for huge post xD

In the Spring I need to do a coolant change anyway, so I figured. I might as well go hard

 

 

 

Gonna follow his superclean tutorials for the entire exterior of the car, and the inside of the windshield. The Saab will be so mint by spring time. I'd do everything sooner but the high today was 45. So no.

Have my only clip from Roadkill Nights I still have

 

Don't know why 1080P Superview 60FPS footage looks so odd on Instagram. If you guys want me too I could still record a walkaround of my car. If you guys would even want to watch that

Gonna be doing a new headunit next year with my buddy AJ (Stereo and subs man)

 

Gonna be a little more involved than other cars, and obviously not going to be doing the ipod stuff, but I want a general nice bluetooth Pioneer headunit. Preferably doubledinn but I'd take a single. Want to keep everything working, including my steering wheel controls. Speakers are all already upgraded so the headunit is one of the nice upgrades I want to do. I want to keep this car for a long long time and want to make it even nicer than it already is. We should have a easier time with this than we did with the TC, but this is also just a headunit swap, not adding subs and stuff while at it

maybe get a pioneer double din unit that has apple carplay/android auto? those seem pretty sweet, integrating new age tech into an old style car.

I'm not going to be dropping more than $150 on a headunit. Maybe it's just me, but I don't see a point to Android Auto. I want to put money into other goodies too. Suspension, wheels, tires, sway bars, exhaust, intake. I want to do a lot with this car. It only has 111K on the engine and I want to have a fun time with it for a long while.

 

Probably going to go with this, AJ has installed this in both his Camry and TC and I love this headunit. It's perfect for what I want really
