    just topped it off with 14.5 gallons at a cost of $38.38. estimated mileage: 19.34 mpg. looks like it's gone up from an average of 16.7-17 mpg after i installed a full exhaust system? driving conditions haven't changed, could also be weather i suppose. our tanks have an 18.5 gal capacity...

    I was just answering your question "have you seen a quality Japanese wheel do this?" While I'm not sure if it was JP or not, I'm pretty sure it was quality. You put it out there.

    I'm positive I've seen a picture on here of a BMW cornering and its wheel is shattering. From the look of the picture it doesn't look like they'd skimp in the wheel department. Anyone know where to find this pic?

    what the hell is hoodride? pointless?

    only time i've heard of E3 is that electronics expo: http://www.e3expo.com/ I can see the appeal of rat rods, but at the same time he took a great looking paintjob and screwed up just the trunk. Apparently, people trying to make cars look like shit can't do a halfway decent job anymore. This...

    Agreed. I like their Gravel and Tarmac selections too, wish I had a Subaru to put some on.

    what the hell is hoodride? pointless?

    Flipping through some of Mazda's exhibited tuners brought up this red 92 miata. I wouldn't mind owning one of these myself (think they're a great little track car) but why the hell would you take a nice trunk lid and sand the hell out of it? is there any point or history I'm missing...

    I would argue that most of the wheels in Enkei's 09 race lineup are able to be labeled "real". And if that fails:

    The thing I like about RB is that I've seen almost none of their wheels on anyone's car (save the Stern and a few other popular ones).

    i don't mind the enkeis, i was going to look at the evo5s way back when but i'd kill for some of the wheels on RB right now. Anything by stern or toms (like these http://www.rbwheels.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=17_21_23&products_id=2604) would be cool as hell.

    n/a ma70 fuel usage

    I'll get around 280-300 miles (450-500 km?) each tank. Works out to be about 18 mpg, 23 if I drive mostly highway. I guess this just has to do with my 4.30 LSD running the engine at 3400rpm at 70 mph

    Toyota HG arrived at my door with a dent. Ok to use?

    You'll have to weigh the options of time it takes to wait for a replacement head gasket and time it takes to do another head gasket job.

    Very lame news indeed!!

    i remember fighting with mine. either a 26 or a 36mm deep socket replaced mine, but i'm not sure about the longetivity of the fix. when i torqued to spec i could feel it start slipping.

    look at what i found while at work in my garage

    had something similar happen minus the trashcan. working in my shop one night and a mouse shot out across the floor. since my 12" adjustable wrench failed to stop him, i brought out a polish technique.

    Energy Suspension poly bushes - who's used them?

    hahahaha, i thought i was the only one with an energy susp quality issue. i got a full set of black front/rear control arm bushings from driftmotion and was not impressed with energy's packing proficiency. on the fronts i was shorted two each on the lower arm, and on the rears i was given eight...

    i used all duplicolor 2000°F rated paint. new blades are definitely a must.cuts great, and you can feel when the blade tip gets dull (starts to require effort to cut through the tape)
