Power's fine. Needs more curvy roads and a bit more seat time. They're momentum cars, not really power cars. Don't slow down and they're plenty fast. ;) I've owned all three (Miata, Supra, 240), driven various examples of each. Pros and cons from my experiences: Supra pros: -Comfortable -Good...

Bwahahaha, that might be the first time I've ever seen something ill compared to an RX7 for reliability. :p Honestly though, that's kinda what Mazda was going for with the FC if I recall. They're nice cars as well, and not completely slow NA if you know how to drive. Definitely not slow if...

Sorry to hear of your loss bud. Losing family always sucks when you're close like that. Hopefully he went as peacefully as possible. Well, hang in there and keep your chin up, eyes open looking for your next place in life. If you need anything, you know we're here for ya. :)

I can't say I've ever been down for more than a few days for much of anything bud, but Ian is right. 6-8 weeks will fly by before you know it if you have any hobbies or catching up to do, which it sounds like you have that covered. ;) Hell, it's already the end of JUNE. Feels like just...

Just read about this tech in GRM this afternoon, rather cool stuff. Might look into it on a future clutch swap, perhaps if the Mk2 ever needs one. :) Thanks for the review man. So if I understand it correctly, you dump the clutch, and it doesn't bog or rip the tires to shreds, it modulates how...

Did that thread ever happen to materialize? I bought a set of Tanabe's last year, front and rear. Looking at the chart seems to suggest to my understanding that they really help the car turn in and/or rotate. This could make for an interesting setup on my car once I put them on...

Were you referring to me? If so, I haven't put even a single mile on it yet. Hoping to have this car running and driving in a couple months. When you guys see what all is involved, it should make sense why it's taken so long. ;)

Trust me man, even if it is Miami, I'm sure there is LOADS more to do than we ever have around here. :) And yeah, I know the feeling. Growing up a bit, you start to lose some interest (or rather time for) the hobbies you have had in the past. It really is a challenge to stay focused on hobbies...

Shaeff, you WOULD be ready. :rofl: Jeff, how much longer before we can check out this car at the local museum?

Pardon the pun, but I think this is just what the Doctor ordered. Teehee. That out of my system, I'll be keeping an eye on this thread, being a fan of both the FR-S and the JZ platform. Anything more to share, being that it's been a month and a half now?

I can say this much about them from living with a friend who owned one: -They're really well built, and -they're really, really finicky, as pointed out above. Save yourself the money and buy a Miata. Spend the money you *would* have put into maintaining the Porsche on a Flyin' Miata turbo...

Hit up the gun show that comes around every few months out of Idaho last weekend. Managed to get my hands on a few boxes of .45 acp, but the price is still a bit on the high side. On that note, I think I picked the wrong gun haha. Bought some 7.62x54 for a friend of mine so we can shoot his...

I seem to recall a similar infestation of grasshoppers when I was living in Arizona, if I recall, it was during the early 2000's. MILLIONS of them. Really is a sight to behold, and fortunately, they're not quite as noisy as cicadas. :)

You happen to get any pics worth sharing Damien? About the closest thing to a con I've been to was the Motortrend auto show in SLC a few years ago. Neat, to see that many people into the same stuff that growing up, we were considered "geeks" because of. :)

Nice pass there OP, shooting for the 8.50@165-170 range? :D

You know the old Field of Dreams saying... "Build it, and they will come." I know I would LOVE a facility of that nature to be built here, or even within an hour or so (nearest track to me is nearly 3 hours away :( ), but that will never happen. Sounds like a nice facility, but I wonder who's...

Honestly, given what you've mentioned, I'd say that isn't *that* bad. I've been with Progressive for nearly 8 years now, no complaints here. Just don't tell them if someone ELSE hits your vehicle, because you'd be going after their insurance, and the one time I did that, Progressive was all too...

Next up, assuming my dad ever finishes it (I lent it to him since he likes to read), is Ron Paul's The Revolution. Until then, unless another GRM or Motortrend issue shows up... nothing.

Wow, I just uh... totally lost my boner after reading that. Thanks JAY. :nono:

You know, I used to fish, then I just started getting sunburnt. Not sure where I lost my touch haha. :p Seriously though, the money you guys are talking about, I would hope this stuff either floats, or you're smart enough to get a wrist strap to keep things from becoming a lost investment...
