    Poor TPMS advice from Consumer Reports!

    How many miles have you ridden this year?

    dang, that's pretty hardcore! I meant to do more riding over the winter, but I was walking to work, and on the weekends snowboarding every weekend so i didn't get much riding in. Keep it shiny!

    When to change to synthetic?

    coldest I rode last winter was 17.5* F but I might in fact be insane. I'm going to get heated gear for this winter though.

    here's a pic mocking up the new setup in the Galant to check clearance with the new manifolds & turbo. motor is coming back out so that I can do some tidying up (removing 4WS & ABS, among other things) and there are some other minor housekeeping tasks to be done as well. Already deleted a/c...

    So some guy attempts to bash in my window...

    Robert Heinlein said "An armed society is a polite society." I mean, honestly, if the low life thinks he has a good chance to get blown away if he messes with you, he's going to probably move on to someone else. Also, if you look at homicide rates, you'll note that few if any are ever commited...

    "For Sale: 1982 Continental, non-factory A/C, alternator inop, runs good."

    that JDM "new driver" sticker explains the massive denting in the rear quarter.

    A Manufacturer to Pull Out of NASCAR and Go Elsewhere?

    I agree, but are we going to start seeing GTO's, Mustangs, and Chargers in nascar? I sincerly doubt that anyone is going to want to race the front wheel drive garbage that 90% of cars out there today are... I would love to see some front wheel drive monte carlo's, and a bunch of OHC v6's with...

    GM goes Rice

    I think the key is to run a larger tubocharger on 2WD models that actually get roller emissions. After all, if you don't end up in boost at 3000 rpm, you're an N/A car as far as that test goes. My car just gets the plain idle/rev sniff test since it's AWD- though having a car with very few...

    homeowner's insurance doubled

    except for the fact that the insulation is 70 years old, and falling off. Knob and tube is incredibly dangerous, and the number of fires are a really big reason that insurance basically won't cover it. It sucks, but I've helped my dad, and some friends rip that garbage out and replace it. It's...

    When the fuel level light comes on...

    both of my cars have 14.8 gallon tanks, though i'm not sure how much is usable. Never run them out, and the most i've ever put in is about 12.8, but it was a long highway trip and I was getting great economy. gas light normally comes on with about 10.5 used.

    I have issues...

    My Outlook 2003 and XP clients all open links from emails in Firefox, or Opera, depending on what I have it set to. It's very simple, you simply need to make the default Web browser in windows the browser of your choice (i.e. Firefox) and then it will be pulled 99% of the time. Most of the time...

    NASCAR Camry

    True, though there are some changes. this series requires a flat tappet setup where the craftsman truck series allows rollers.

    shiney engine innards

    Drew: On the 7.8:1 (1g comp) with the evo3 I could run 19lbs on the supra sidemount, but i was MAXING out the RC550's i had in the car. The 3052 is actually a more efficient turbo, so at a similar boost level, it should be less of a fireball-thrower. Oh, and I'm going to be running a...

    shiney engine innards

    well, i'm going to be running 20lbs on 92 octane with the evo3. Boost @ 2300 rpm is nice. By the end of summer, i'll be moved over to an FP3052/tial44(recirculated), and probably going to a dsmlink, or AEM EMS setup. It depends on how funding works out as which direction engine management...

    This is sad

    white vineagar is a neutralizing agent, but you still need the antidote ASAP. I would not even consider getting into australian waters without a jug of it handy for "just in case" usage.

    GM goes Rice

    I've decided that it's pretty much worthless to post to this thread- Most of the people here are a more educated version of the idiots that hang out at the local tracks. "durrr, it wasn't made in 'murika, it's slow" as their trailered, drag slicked camaro cranks out a wopping 13 second 1/4...
