I met him once or twice, I remembered that his car was also white and has that plate frame. We chatted about e85, I was thinking about the track when I filled up with petrol today (until they get the Berkeley pump working again)
Welp its gonna be a lot faster. New clutch, ELH, EWG, much bigger TMIC, bigger turbo, and stronger pump went in on Sat.
I'll be re-tuning it this week.
Nice! I've read the N54s have forged rods from the factory and the N55s don't. From what I gather the stock N54 rods are good for north of 550wtq, hence the fanbois calling it the German 2JZ.
Unrelated but this is the only thread on Mt.net I ever post in.
I really want a 2019 ND but something about paying 36k for a Miata feels wrong. (RF with brembos package)
me and @@sonofthehill had a ton of fun at the drag strip today.
my OE STi spec exedy clutch absolutely hated life and I had to set LC real low to actually allow it to hoold lol, but here are my results:
Left slip I actually caught a really good launch, but then it slipped so the trap is lower.
SOTH's miata is also just as fast and impressive as always, clicking off I think low 12's at 119?
Overall a ton of fun, really happy with the trip overall.
Girlfriend just started her work from home job. I go into the office 2-3 days per week. Such that the 135 has seen about 2100 miles in town for daily use in the last 9 months. I have some lingering debt from the divorce/layoffs/moves/new house, that I would like to hammer out. So I'm thinking sell both the BMW and the girlfriends '15 Fit (yes I know it makes more sense to keep it, but if we are going to have one car, it needs to have a better stereo and a bit more room for the dogs), and find a slightly used, or new CUV.
My initial though is the CX-5, since they seem to get hit harder with depreciation than Honda or Toyota (I wouldn't consider a modern Nissan unless it was Godzilla).
What else should I consider?
PS: This would be temporary, pay everything off. Pay off whatever car I buy, then I'd go back to having a pure fun car. Use the CUV as my DD while shes at home.
