    Tires that leak...sometimes.

    As strange as it may sound, I have had a number of tires over the years that would leak, but only periodically. What the heck is happening? The most recent instance of this had me almost certain that I must have a small nail that I can't readily see when visually inspecting the tire. I...

    Canada - Octane Formula Calculations

    Great article for our Canadian members! https://www.autotrader.ca/newsfeatures/20171117/fuel-octane-numbers-explained/ [Excerpt] "...As an apocryphal aside, high-end VW tuner HPA has noticed that their roughly 500 hp turbocharged builds seem to do much better on US-grade 91 octane than on...

    Fuel Pressure Monitoring

    Hey guys! Who here has a Fuel Pressure Gauge and if so, are you using a simple analog gauge in the engine bay for monitoring while adjusting fuel pressure or do you have a gauge in the cabin connected to a sending unit in the engine bay? The reason I ask is, in the midst of this build, I...

    Fuel Rail Clearance Issue

    Subaru STI Type RA Special on "The Best Road in the World"

    Mark Higgins expertly pilots a new Subaru STi Type RA Special on Romania's Transfagarasan Highway. The Transfagarasan cuts though the Carpathian Mountains and came to fame after being dubbed "The Best Road in the World" by Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson. When I win the lottery, I plan to buy the...

    Engine Painting

    Who here has experience with painting engine components? Since I am in the midst of an engine build, I was considering painting a few things. I don't think I want to paint the block, though I have considered clear coating it, if I can find a good high-temp clear coat. However, I was thinking...

    ATP GT3071R Turbocharger for Sale

    The Batmobile is undergoing a full-scale heart transplant and I decided to go with a larger turbo. Thus, I will be selling my ATP GT3071R turbocharger. It has less than 25,000 miles on it and absolutely ZERO shaft play. It's actually surprising, just how good of shape it is in. Here is the...

    Baby Names

    I should probably just wait until next week before I really start looking into baby names, since next Wednesday is our first sonogram appointment where we *should* be able to tell the sex of the baby. That said, sometimes the baby is turned around a bit or has its legs closed and you can't tell...

    Looking for a new commuter car...

    Maybe "new" isn't the right word. Lightly used, MY2013-2016, from $18-22k is more like it. I'm not opposed to RWD, but the winters here can sometimes make RWD cars a terrible choice. Gas mileage should be decent, but I hope to not sacrifice decent power for the sake of a few extra MPG...

    Tales of an Asia Sailor

    This old salt's blog is rather entertaining. The language within might be a little much for the softer souls, but the Tin Can sailors out there should find this funny and interesting. Enjoy! https://garlanddavis.net/

    Vendors, are you authorized to order parts from AEM?

    I've discovered a problem with my AEM methanol system. I may need a few miscellaneous pieces here and there. Most AEM vendors just carry AEM kits and that's about it. I don't want to buy a kit, I only want to order some specific part numbers. Thanks! P.S. I will update this thread with a...

    WTB: OEM Fuel Filter for 2004 STi

    I was going to order a fuel filter online, but thought I should give our vendors a chance to do some business. Who's gonna hook me up? Note: I have a Walbro 255 fuel pump. If I remember correctly, that shouldn't make any difference in the filter I will need. If I'm wrong, let me know.

    World of Warships

    Tons of people got hooked on World of Tanks from Wargaming.net, but this year they released World of Warships. It's pretty entertaining and truly addictive...even if you aren't a Navy vet biased towards combat on the high seas. :lol: Who else here has been playing it?

    Transmission drain plug bolts

    Do either of these bolts have reversed threads? Because holy crap are they impossible to loosen!!! I'm afraid if I pull much harder, I could upset the car on the jack stands and that'd be game over.

    Ridiculous Conversations with Idiots

    I heard another few gems today that I just have to share with you: (* Them, - Me) * "I can't understand why that stupid militia flag is always flying with the American flag." - "What militia flag?" * "You know, that black POW POW MIL flag." - "Do you mean the POW/MIA flag?" * "Sure, I...
