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

@vetali yep it's never getting messed with because "i don't see the money value in fixing it" but here's the worst of the damage:

 

Fender was was starting to bend in half. So it's all offset now

 

no idea how you fix that; bodywork is a dark art to me

I could fix that for free.

Provided you pay for my flight and a hotel suite.

 

In other news. Booked the time for when cammy is going in for a rear axle repair at the performance shop. Its in June. 

So i should be safe from the bad thread juju.

Ordered my immobilizer-not-required japanese ECU today from the UK. 

Got to get up early for this stuff.

 

BTW if you guys ever need hard to find japan parts ask for Jack at Nippon Auto Parts in the UK, awesome guy. I had a really great experience talking with him through email and he's the one that made this happen for me even though it's not something they typically do.

Which TCB car?

 

CTMP was fun aside from the intermittent rain all weekend. Torrential downpour made Sunday afternoon... difficult.

#37 Green Mazda 2. 

Saturday race was a dud because of the incidents. Think they got 7 laps in or something then the race was red flagged and ended early. 

Sunday race looks like he was having some fuel issues and didnt finish.

Something as amazing as a heated toilet seat should not cost as much as they do. I'll just stick to setting mine on fire when I need it warm.

Make an aluminum one with water ducts in it, then connect it to your computer. Bam! Cooler computer temps and warmer butt.

Hmm. Ducktape a heating element from a heated blanket to it. Then it's adjustable to your liking. Seems entirely viable.

You know I've never actually wanted a heated blanket because the thought of catching on fire while sleeping isn't something I want to find out. :D

Lol. So sticking it near a bowl of water should be entirely concern free.
