Got new tires. Decided to cheap out and get really cheap chinese tires. Total mounted and balanced was $380 out the door. Will be testing them out this week in this weather but so far they do really well in the wet but a little bit of slush and it feels sketchy.
Need to Shave n Shower, but I CANT STOP POSTING ON RS

Tires are literally the more important thing on your car. Are they at least DOT stamped? Although it could be fake, who knows.

Honestly, i dont believe what the media has to say. I see a lot of negativity towards chinese tires from the media but that is towards anything chinese. For the price for brand new tires, I'm willing to try. Came with 60,000km warranty as well.
Although I agree (and am also thinking about experimenting with off shore tires for hooning), from someone who handles all makes if tires... The difference is mental. All those no name brands feel like shit and are paper thin. Do they even have valid North American DOT? Lol.
It's like Safeway select cola beverage vs an ice cold can of Coke classic

Ya its DOT stamped lol. As long as my car stops, moves, and provides traction for most of the year, I'm ok with that. I don't track my car. I'm more concerned with longevity of the tires. I would like to get a few years out of these.
First oil change for the golf R (2600km) and I installed some wind deflectors/rain guards. Also installed a Braille g20 lithium ion battery in the evo.
Thanks for all the suggestions! I was going to pick up some stuff to try out today, but I had some magic erasers laying around. Just tried it and it worked
Bolted seat sliders into the new to me Miata. The drivers seat sidemounts were bolted onto steel bar then to the floor, no ability to adjust fore and aft. That wasn't going to go over well with Mrs. Snowfarmer. Gotta make sure all this car stuff works for her so she keeps saying yes when I come to her with more of my hare-brained ideas that we need more cars.
I guess this is applicable, first time doing a DIY video. Swapped out boring red stock tails for oem blackline tail lights. Planning on doing brakes + stud conversion too, feedback appreciated
I added sticky foamy strips to the ratrolla for additional comfort. Not sure why the hell toyota decided to use such garbage rock hard plastics but these foamy strips make a big difference.
Stud conversion came in, gotta get rear tires mounted (they're sitting in the garage) and wheels painted before i can mount these back on. Looking forward to seeing outcome.

Starter on my Taco was hanging up for a second after it was already running, so I figured the solenoid contacts needed replacing cause it wasn't pulling back right away. Went to get some tools and a jack and after I was all loaded up, the truck wouldn't start. The motor would spin but the Bendix wasn't engaging. Perfect timing, in the pouring rain, no less and I was just about to do it in the warmth of my garage.
Awesome. Bearing that holds the Bendix drive blew apart and separated from the starter motor. Good thing I had a starter ready to go. Since it's sunny today, I'll take the torque converter access cover off to retrieve the balls.

Good for you. I attempted that one years back when I had my E36. It ended up getting towed to a shop. I've got a little more confidence now, I'd like to try again. Ha
Took my car back to RG yesterday for another dyno day. Stock was 187whp/225wtq. Yesterday did 265whp/330wtq. Super smooth graph which I was very impressed with. Each pull it lost a little power though. It's still on the OEM intercooler so it's no suprise. Proper FMIC/charge pipes and a custom dyno tune (not off the shelf) and 300whp is doable. Easy if I add meth/water injection.
Very happy with the results, no hiccups what so ever
What did you do to the car to get those numbers? I think the gains become extremely marginal after the second or third pull due to heat soak, but otherwise, impressive numbers.
And stock intercoolers on any car almost always suck.
