Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

The AFM can be turned off in the tune, which helps keep the lifters alive. I had it turned off on my 2008 Silverado and had no lifter issues through 125k when I traded it in on the GTI.

Cruisin' Down teh Street in Mah Six-Fo

That’s a sexy look! That orange plays nicely! 10 out of 10 would fuck! I was always obsessed with painted valve covers growing up. Idk what it is about them, but it just pops to me compared to chrome! As always with a classic, you have to tinker to find the right setup, but that’s part of the fun r...

Once the welding was finished, it was time to drill the covers for the Chevrolet script emblems I purchased. These are actually dash emblems for the 53-54 cars, which I selected because I like that the script is different from the typical Chevy script, and my grandfather had a '54 way back when. I m...

Cruisin' Down teh Street in Mah Six-Fo

My dad decided that he wanted to change things up a little in the engine bay. He asked if there were any different valve covers that we could get as he wasn't too keen on the fuel rail covers anymore. I told him that there are valve covers that come with a faux cover for the coil packs, and showed h...

Jaws is my favorite movie of all time. Last summer, I went to the Mahoning drive-in to watch it and got Carl Gottlieb to sign my poster. That's badass! I really enjoyed the 3D re-release. I missed the 3D release and saw the IMAX version, which was enjoyable. The drive-in experience was cool because...

Congrats on the new ‘fake truck’, I love that color. In4 G8 pics as well, sounds like fun. How easy was it to turn in the Frontier and how did you like it? Initially, I loved the Frontier, and towards the end of the 18-month lease, I was thinking I'd just buy a Pro4X since it was within my budget. ...

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

How about the AP2? Either way IMO it's somewhat splitting hairs... They are very similar in performance right? Wind out or not. If the BRZ had 260-300hp I don't think it would get that much heat and it is certainly not "too much" power. This is claimed to be a stock AP2 pull: https://cimg...

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

I think the point of "underpowered" is more of a function that a 2.4 N/A engine with roughly 228hp isn't exactly fast. This thing has LESS power as a 24 year old Honda S2000 which stood at 240... technology has moved on and this particular car has remained pretty low HP compared to any ot...

A big problem these days is that all of the internet br0s think that anything with less than 600 horsepower at the wheels is a waste of money. They spend too much time on YouTube watching hero dyno runs where someone took a junkyard 4.8 and an Ali Express turbo and laid down 800 HP. The videos never...

Meanwhile these clowns have access
Well, the truck was conjured up by an assclown, so it seems rather on-brand to use it as a backdrop for a group of clowns mumbling about washing your ass.

Interesting that they have it roped off when all Musk wants to do is rabble on about how tough the thing is.
