Appreciate the love buddy ?

To keep this thread from getting too serious, here's a true story of my hot tempered wife: At the end of a wild night in downtown Austin, my wife and I were walking a busy street when we saw a flashy C7 convertible blasting annoying music, driven by two trust-fund looking bros. It was 2 a.m...

I carry a bottle of lube in the glove box at all times. Manual > Auto

For those with a pulse for real driving, manual transmissions are the only choice that matters. Mastering the clutch, slamming through gears, and commanding every rev is a thrill that separates true drivers from the masses. Automatics? They’re a lazy shortcut, coddling those who’d rather let a...

Here are the full, actual quotes: 1. Lewis Hamilton (7x F1 World Champion) (When asked about H-pattern manuals in racing) > "That would slow us down massively. Everything today is about milliseconds. Gear changes need to be immediate, not something you think about. And plus with all these...

This is great news as I'll eventually want 850whp ?

I once had sex in the back of a geo metro that was sadly in fact automatic.... you might be onto something.

A friend shared this with me on Instagram, and it perfectly captures why I only buy manual cars. Ironically, that friend drives a Prius. ? "The car scene isn't full of drivers any more, it's full of passengers holding the steering wheel" - this line made me erect.

No I mean I think in most cases you would be right. Automatics are no longer the slush boxes our parents had that's for sure!

I prefer manual transmissions because they offer a more engaging driving experience and force a large part of the results onto the skillset of the driver. Buying an automatic sports car contradicts the essence of spirited driving and is a bit of an oxymoron IMO. If you want a hands-off nannied...

No spacers, no rubbing (that I've noticed) in the thousand miles I've put on the car since installation. I will double check this next time I am under the car and report back if I find anything different.

No but it is ironic that I generated that image with AI if you think about it.

I have a 30 day subscription to super grok so I'm getting my moneys worth. It did some math on the whiteline vs stock sway bar stiffness and this is what it spit out. With all things AI take it with a grain of "this could be completely inaccurate": Table: Estimated Stiffness Comparison...

Bought a tire rack to store my OEM wheels, will also store my drift set once I figure out what wheels to get.

This is what Grok says: TL_ID Meaning: "TL_ID" likely stands for "Teilnummer ID" (German for "Part Number ID"), a common term in BMW and Toyota Supra ECUs (given the Supra’s shared platform with the BMW Z4). It identifies a specific component, such as the differential hardware, firmware, or...

Was thinking about this the other day... the car in factory form has a lot of squat, so much so you can feel the front end become floaty under hard acceleration mid corner (at least in my experience). Was looking at these as a way to help mitigate squat while allowing retention of stock shocks...

I installed the aFe front sway bar on my street car, I put it on the softest setting. Stock power levels, 275/40/18 square tire setup on EC02s. Verkline traction and toe arms in the rear, stock suspension. I have not installed the rear sway bar yet; although I did purchase it. Installing the...

You've peaked my interest on this... I've never used Protool as it doesn't appear to be available on IOS. Do you have any more info on this option? Wondering if it's worth emulating Android on a laptop for it ?
