  1. Bod Pod/water displacement testing? Who did you do it through? Tempted to see where I stand right now.
  2. - Go here: http://www.bodybuilding.com/exercises/ - Make a plan for yourself, i.e. Chest/Triceps day, Back day, etc. - Figure out how many calories it takes for maintanence +200/300 per day more for bulking
  3. You would think so, but I have driven other similarly setup cars with equally heavy stock flywheels and it's not the same. I doubt I will have to replace the clutch/flywheel while I own the car, so I guess it's hard to comment on that. FWIW, I did the balance shaft delete mod hoping to get rid of some of the rotating mass and it really made next to no difference. I'm convinced it's in the calibration of the throttle.
  4. The only problem I have with my car's DBW throttle is the immense lag during throttle closure. When I want to shift, I have to lift off the gas, pause until the car begins to engine brake, then put the clutch in. Otherwise, the revs take forever to drop, and sometimes they will go up when I put the clutch in. I have never had this problem with any cable throttle cars, or even my friend's DBW cars. It's all the calibration, and much like a lot of other aspects of this car, Mazda did a really shitty job.
  5. Fox News: Fair and Balanced :gabe:
  6. This. The last time I got a speeding ticket, I was being careless with my radar off (80mph on the interstate). Vigilence and road awareness has saved my ass more than any technology could ever dream of.
  7. - Protein shakes - Ham & cheese sandwiches - Chicken & rice - Jug of water
  8. SO. MUCH. WANT. I <3 the old Honda CB bikes, and the X takes the cake. GLWS.
  9. I bought ebay replacement's for my buddy's birthday for his 2005 Accord Coupe which had the typical Honda fade/clearcoat destruction. They look/fit exactly like OEM.
  10. I have 6k 35w on my car, it looks "OEM blue".
  11. A 6k 35w HID in a non-projector headlight wouldn't be that bad for oncoming traffic at all. A couple of my friends run very similar setups in their non-projected housings and it looks fine. Now 8k+ and a 55w will piss off everyone. A neighbor has that in his Scion and it's brutal.
  12. Those Australian V8 touring cars are total monsters.
  13. As silly as this sounds, GTO. - 5.7 cars can be had for that money - They ride well, get decent gas mileage - Fun to drive - Plenty of torque for hauling - Come in auto if need be. Or, a bit less ridiculous, try the Mazda5, it's a minivan with the driving dynamics of a car half it's size.
  14. Looks like he doesn't even need that steering wheel
  15. Hello, my car is rubbing pretty badly in the back with my 235's. I've got $20 for anyone who will let me borrow their fender roller for a couple of hours.
  16. This. My coilovers feel great at the track, quick transitions/responses with nice stiff springs. But since 99% of the time I'm just DD'ing it, it's fucking awful.
  17. That looks so difficult to manuever. Look the rider is wobbling to keep it upright when going slowly.

  19. Would you recommend the Sonax for cars with a soft clearcoat, or is it better suited to Euro/American tougher clears? (Asian car)
  20. Are those year GS' supercharged as well?
  21. Please tell me that you bought the 200sx with that awful paintjob, and you are planning on painting it all that nice red color of the fenders.
  22. Exactly. Anyone ever heard of the warrior diet? Effectively, one large meal per day.
