Do we still need to do your brakes? My school schedule is freeing up. Let me know and we can knock it out one afternoon.

If you can find Hankook RS4's in 195, they might work on 15x7's. They run a bit wide in 245, perhaps the 195s are really 205?
They last hilariously long and they do pretty good in the wet. They...
Hmmm, funny how things change. Looking at buying a Spec Miata and parting this guy out. It would hurt but it's the cheapest way to get into the wheel to wheel game from where I am now.
I had similar issues caused by an ECU coolant temp sensor. I think it's on the back of the head. I replaced mine, but in hindsight the sensor itself might have been fine. The connector was very...
I'm sooo tempted to swing through this event on my way home from Iowa. But it adds a few hours to the trip and I'll be in a Civic loaded with all of my worldly belongings. Not a great setup for...
Does the car have an aftermarket steering wheel?
Replace your heater hoses! You don't want them rupturing.
If the car is handling fine, no noises, tires wear evenly, then I would stay hands off of the suspension. Check the tie rod and ball...
Sad trombone?
You had the perfect conditions for Torsen testing!
Above are not my welds, I found that on google.
Just a thought. I guess if you are not smashing curbs or bump drafting, it's not under an abnormal load.
Any thoughts on some quick tig welding to reinforce the diff carrier? You're making good power and spending a lot of time on track, probably not a bad idea for reliability. On the other hand, Mazda...
I've actually found some decent ones in the Cedar Valley area. It's not as hilly as Raleigh, but it's not flat. The dirt roads here are amazing. Dirt roads in NC tend to get muddy and bumpy really...
Life got a little busy. I moved halfway across the country, to this place:

Waterloo, Iowa. This is a prairie preserve in front of John Deere's Product...
Sounds like a weak battery to me, but if Autozone didn't try to sell you one, it must be strong as hell. Alternator would be my next guess.
Since you have a multimeter, do what KFJ said, check...
I will be at Morrisville, 100%.
Are you talking about trimming for aftermarket brackets or the stock striker plates? I seem to remember the trim is already cut from the factory for striker plates and has a little plug that you...
Welp... I'm having bad luck lately.
Got rear ended at about 15mph. It bent the impact bar and pushed the trunk in about 5 inches. I happened to know the person that hit me, since I know where...
After driving with DTC-60's on my Miata for 3 years, daily, I am immune to brake squeal and incredibly spoiled when it comes to pedal feel and bite. I put some track day pads on my Civic, I just...
Update time for this masterpiece. I love this car, I can't wait to drive out to Iowa this summer, it eats up the miles. After daily driving that Miata for so long, a long road trip in this is no big...
Yup, Chump race at VIR tomorrow. How'd you know?
Let me know what's up, I'm on spring break next week and planning on putting some more hours into that project.
I'm going southwest of Asheville, maybe NC 215 and 276.
The standout roads are borderline secret, you have to go find them by Free Bird cues. That makes it a little more fun in my opinion. It adds to the adventure, you just have to stuff as much fuel in...
I should, I'll do it Monday before I leave for an 800 mile road trip. I had a '95 with the d16z6 and the valve clearances were out of spec when I bought it, but I've never seen the clearance wonder...
I learned a few things last night during an oil change. I took the time to fix the dipstick from the previous owner's improper assembly after replacing the timing belt. It looks like he chose...
Just saw you on 54 by Airport Blvd. Looks good.
I've been really afraid of the spark plug issue on my mom's Navigator. It has the 5.4L InTech DOHC rather than the 5.4L Triton SOHC. I think the DOHC is not as bad if I have researched correctly,...
