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

Guys, I’ve honestly been patient with this covid thing but it’s like all of a sudden today I like... just want to be done with it. 
 

It sucks :/ 

Tel me about it. New York Just removed Gyms from it's "Phase 4" list of businesses allowed to reopen (there is no Phase 5) leaving gyms closed indefinitely. 

 

Just gyms. Hair salons, shopping malls, restaurants, etc will all have limited availability as early as July 1st in some parts of the state (it varies by county).

Here a lot of things are open but I’m very hesitant to go anywhere if I don’t have to because people here just don’t care. Also cases are increasing.

NY took it seriously, our cases are still declining on a 3 day average in most areas (except the Albany region I believe due to BLM protests) which is good. I'm glad we're also mandating Floridians quarantine for two weeks if they travel here, because thats what they did to us when this all started.

Well on a technicality it'd be more dangerous to be in a gym than a restaurant.

I dont disagree, as there many piece of equipment being touched. The gym I follow though (local founded and owned) has been working extremely hard to get cleaning station and supplies ready and were basically told no.

 

Gotta invest in a home gym I guess

There's worse places, were you on our expressways with the center entrances and exits or in loop traffic? Trust me, what it is now is nothing like what it has been.

 

One night, I had to swerve to avoid a couch on the ramp from 90/94 the 57 south.

Not even the contact, the exerted breathing alone is a big problem.

It's really not that bad in Chicago compared to what I hear from friends on the west coast in large cities there or somewhere like NYC. Generally our drivers pretty much follow the signs and rules, just watch for the 'Chicago roll', low speed stop signs are more like yield signs at lot of places in the city but honestly that seems to have been getting a lot better the past few years where people are making complete stops and almost getting right of way correct. The worst stuff would be the weird left lane on/off ramps but those are being phased out with new construction for better traffic flow. Just uh don't be a dick and keep checking your mirrors and drive like you're invisible to everyone else and you'll be fine lol.

Not sure if you've seen this but... active wing struts? On their GTR I believe.

 

 

 

 

@MEC-777 @bcredeur97 @warmmilk

That’s pretty awesome! I remember seeing aeromotions had a kit like this like 10 years ago, they also had one that the wing was split in 2 so it can set different angles for the 2 halves of the wing. Kinda like lambo’s ALA system that does aero vectoring. But that setup was like 10k. I wonder if that company is still around...

 

Flyin Miata also did some home brew testing with the setup, he said it was a huge difference in braking

Pulled out the passenger side drip channel molding on the roof of the Celica, turns out just the rear part I could have sealed without pulling it out was cracked. Oh well, new one was already ordered and shipped. I need to get a new tube of Windo-Weld urethane to seal it up and tack the new channel trim in place.

 

Also going to make a small sanding block out of some aluminum stock once I polish one side down flat 100% I can use it to blend touch up paint into the existing paint better in some places that had some bad etching that need touch up, mostly a spot on the roof and I may try to tackle one on the fender too. Not thrilled about going at the car with 2000 grit, feel bad enough with 5000 grit or a harsh compound.

Just bought this bike from a guy a work with, have been asking him nearly every month if hes ready to sell.... well he finally did and I love it. A very enjoyable ride and not what I'm used to coming from a HD Sportster.

"Easiest" option would be air ride, but that can be anywhere from a couple grand upwards depending on the car

Needs money for car parts :P

The kits are usually around 3-4k then another couple hundred for fitting and everything.

Presumably yours is the newer G series 3er?

You'd be looking at five grand plus for a decent installation. One begs the question why you'd bother really.
