    ENM @ MDC 3 Beer sharing thread

    Agreed on all counts. We almost did 2 nights last year except the second was super informal and included moonshine. Let's have a set time and place for Friday this time, and multiple beer taste/share sessions. And I personally support an expanded scope. Please, please someone bring Weller, Van...

    ENM @ MDC 3 Beer sharing thread

    1. Are we considering this mass-beer-downage type sharing or are we thinking to do a "tasting event" like last year? Assuming the latter... 2. Is this happening Thursday again? Since we don't even have a weenie roast scheduled... 3. Who brought tables last year, assuming we're doing it at the...

    GenPu 2010-2013 Dash separation

    No problems here on my 2013. Night garaged, and generally the majority of days in a parking structure so minimal sun-loading. And this isn't exactly the state with moar hot.

    Slug's Genpu Newb Chronicle

    Not sure if facetious so straight answer. 67k miles including 2 trips to the Dragon, though only one run at 85+% attack. as I mentioned, I suspect that this year's squeal is actually warning squeal. I neglected to look when I went to winters this year... it might be a necessity before this...

    My stockers squeal but only in the winter.

    Slug's Genpu Newb Chronicle

    Did you replace rotors, or turn them at all? How was their thickness/condition etc? My car has squealed a few times recently, making me think I'm going to need brakes soon, probably fronts. Does the dealer make you return the old pads to get new? Do they only give you new ones if you pay them...

    a Mazda enthusiast has sinned

    Haha 200 miles in a few weeks LOL. That's about 5 days of commuting for me so I'd be done in less than a week. I like that FiST too. The price is right, good mod stuff available too. Power addition has got to quickly have an impact on a light vehicle. Though for me Detroit is completely choked...

    Which Clutch Should I Get?

    That part seemed obvious so wasn't stated but is assume in my comments. Hmm yeah I guess I could save some cash with a SPEC kit @Edge but people say SB know what they're doing and lots of happy reports about them. Seems worth $200 extra for a critical long-term component. Also ratings on SB are...

    My first Focus RS Dyno Tune

    Yeah agreed if I got one I'd probably choose the grey. I'd be unhappy that it still came with blue brakes though. I want those gray like the car.

    Becker Performance Coil Packs

    Standard spec says 0.6-0.8, new plugs should be 0.6-0.7mm. So 0.8mm technically in spec if you're very accurate with your feeler gages. I wouldn't expect blowout at that level given it's still in spec though, until the gap widens after a while. Someone will have to push above the spec to really...

    Looking for design ideas

    The problem is he needs axial symmetry so he can lathe turn it. It would have to be an evil M spun around its center, and then solidized through the middle. You could always leave a bit of a pocket in the bottom between the bottom end of the M and the center post though. Either way I'm not so...
