    The shitboxster

    Been without a fun car for a while. Sold my ND almost a year ago for a Tacoma. Got the itch real bad for a project. One of my friends in California got a decent 2000 boxster for like $3500 or so. He was having fun. I decided to look into it. Ive always wanted to try mid engine. The boxster...

    Black Bullitt

    Haven’t been on here in a minute but still keep in touch with a lot of the guys. In April I picked up a 2019 Bullitt. I was looking for a 18+ PP1 GT but this Bullitt has literally every option from a GT Premium - 12 speaker B&O, heated cooled seats, blind spot, digital cluster, mag ride shocks...

    Joined the "Club"

    Well, I have a problem. The correct number of cars is always n+1 so I just added another to the list. I originally bought a 2002 C5 Z51 to be my toy. But shortly after I bought it, made a life change and moved across the country. I now live on an Indian reservation, which is pretty remote. I...

    Fantasy Builds

    Well, as most of you know I sold my Speed3 and have moved on. I'm getting the itch for a real project car, but would like to save a bit more money first. The C5 I'm just going to keep at my parents and I'll probably just give it to them. It literally will not clear the speed bumps out here, it...

    Mango gets a 5.0 V8

    Well... My time with my Speed 3 is coming to an end. It's been a very fun car, but by far the best part were all the friends I've made along the way. I remember walking down the street shortly after I bought mine and saw a matte silver gen 1 with a tirerack banner, and some wicked street tires...

    Best all seasons for straight line grip?

    Most of you probably have a dedicated summer set up. I used to. But it's time for new tires (summer set was killed by a pot hole, my all season set that came on the car are reaching the end). For various reasons, I'm not going to spend on 2 sets of MS3 tires this year. So I've decided I will get...

    My Maisonvi knob

    I requested a somewhat unique knob from Ken. I've owned metal knobs in the past and hated how hot they got in the sun and how cold they were in the winter. Ken said he has done like plasticy derlin material before, but I still wanted to be different. So I asked about wood. Ken had a block of...

    PSA: OEM brand compression tester from Autozone

    While talking about it in shout today, I figured I'd make a thread to let others know. Autozone has a compression tester, the brand is OEM. Do not use this. @SharksInSpace, @VoodooJef, and myself + @MS3brohanna all used different ones, from different autozones, across the country, around the...

    60-100 times

    Rules: 4th gear log on a straight, flat, closed course. Start at 2.5-3k rpm and go to 101 mph at least. Do not brake boost. Post the log and your modifications/turbo/fueling! Please use a similar format to everyone else so I can just copy/paste into the OP. If you have 2 or more cells saying 60...

    Everything Motorcycle

    Well.... I've got a '99 Speed Triple I'm super proud of and want to show off in our motorcycle section. Bolt on wise, it's got a pipe, K&N filter, ECU tune. Dunno how much power it makes. I'd guess 115 hp/75 ft lbs at the crank. It's a torquey thing and an absolute monster from 0-90 or so...

    Power steering pump programming

    Hi guys. My power steering pump needed to be replaced after an accident. Insurance and the shop decided on a used power steering pump. They got it installed, and I guess there's some sort of module on the pump that needs to be programmed for each car. I was told the dealer downloads the data...

    Peculiar noise after rmm install

    Disclaimer: Tried to search, but there are SO many threads on weird pop/thud/clunk noises I can't comb through all of them. I installed a used street unit RMM recently a mazdaspeed bro hooked me up with. It's in good shape, rubber is intact. It was a bitch to get in, felt like it was too...
