Ironically, today, a random guy in a JDM RHD RX-7 popped by to chat about our cars as Me, Dave, and Ryan were standing outside Dave's house. I was driving behind him on the way there and he said that in his rear view mirror, he thought my car was either an NSX or a Ferarri. :D I was right and...

It would be interesting to know the logistics and feasibility, even though it wouldn't really be worth the trouble :) Considering our cars just spin the wheels over 500hp, it would be nice to fully hook up 800 on street tires!

Funniest vid I've seen in quite a long time!

One way to get a bunch of customers is to join your local Trade or Barter exchange company. These are usually very large groups of business owners who buy and sell each other's services using a virtual, legal, taxable currency called trade dollars. For example, I run a mobile DJ service. When I...

The TSRM has a procedure where you can check the wiring and resistance of your stock temp sensor at the ECU, to see if it is OK or not. Mine checked out OK, but the plug is a little loose, and I get a check engine light and code if it is not connected.

Is this happening with the stock gas tank with the stock baffles?

I'll bet that many of these cures have to do with this hypothesis. Now it makes sense to me why holding my breath works so well. Perhaps a frog or two are in my family tree. :D Whacky!

Good track Travis. Definitely good radio potential. Maybe we should make a new thread for other people to post up their stuff so we don't clutter Travis's? I am also a producer with stuff I could share. Cheers - Brad

I have not had a single case of hiccups for over ten years straight now, because of a technique I learned to stop them. I figured some of you might find it works for you as well. As soon as I notice a single hiccup, I immediately breathe in as much air as I can, and hold my breath for as long as...

Looks way too small at 2.4 inches. But I like the idea of these, and the Motec style ones, since my small Momo steering wheel makes the stock tach and speedo hard to see.

I agree, and find it odd that women have such a massive desire for this, while I never have. Is it because I operate on logic and they operate on emotions/primal instinct?

Ryan, you're best off with a really effective catch can. I'm in the middle of redoing my catch can. It's an older GReddy model and I will add in a 2nd inlet, and polyurethane tubes that will force the gases to the bottom of the can, and it will be stuffed with Bull Dog stainless steel wool, and...

Maybe you wired it up incorrectly? This diagram gives an idea about the proper starter relay bypass wiring. The signal should come from the starter wire at the ignition key area. Just be sure to tap into this wire and not to cut it off from the original circuit, and then just tape up the...

I drove 225 miles just yesterday. I guess I have a lucky 7M!

I added a 2nd muffler (Vibrant brand) instead of a resonator (pic below). With the cat and 2 mufflers, my exhaust is not too loud. It does drone if the cruising RPM's are low, so sometimes I cruise at a lower gear to raise the RPM's and then I get no drone. Apex'i makes a cool silencer for my...

I asked my friend who is an electronics teacher what he had to say about electric fans vs mechanical, since many debate that no power is gained due to the extra load the fans place on the alternator. He replied: "In my (never humble) opinion at mid to higher RPM's electric is more efficient...

Essentially a BOV into the exhaust to keep the turbo spinning?! If this works, why isn't it seen more often? Any street cars doing this? Or is a huge Tial BOV "good enough"?

Cracked subframes are very common, and most people drive with them like that for some time. Mine is cracked in two places right now but I plan to repair it soon. I guess I should be asking, has anyone had a cracked subframe fail on them? I don't drag race the car but street drive with 375+...

It seems that OEM are the best and only choice for proper HID output. I'm looking for a set that will fit my setup but 99% of them are designed to be mounted behind a housing/lens and are not water resistant.

Mk2's are much much more reliable than Mk3's overall. I've had a Mk2 as a daily driver since '93, both well over 300,000km's.
