How in the hell do you compare the Cruze and the Malibu in size? Maybe some of you should sit is both before agreeing with this dumb ass article. They are not fantastically attractive hot cars, but they aren't supposed to be. Besides the fact that I have driven both and the Cruze is a smaller car with a smaller engine and its a dog with a horrible transmission. The Malibu is much nicer, more room, with better engines to tool down the road with. Now the transmission isn't a ton better then the Cruze, but none of GM's 6speed autos are very nice IMHO. The 2013 Malibu has much better ergonomics then the 2012 if you ask me, park them side by side and its noticably improved, but thats my opinion.

I've had the Cornwell 1/2" and 3/8" impacts (newer style composite which are basically Air Cat) for almost 2 years. They are nicely balanced and light but the 1/2" has been sticking again after being rebuilt once, overall good guns. So I recently bought the Snap-On 1/2" which is an excellent gun with a 2 year warranty. I had an Air Cat when I started into the trade and it worked well and still works, just lost a good bit of power over a few years. If I were going to buy a gun for home use it would be the old style Ingersol Super Duty gun, which was made under many different names, but its the old style all metal heavy ass gun that lasts forever. Its not light and balanced but it doesn't have to be when you don't use it all day at work.

Just because the few of us involved figured this would be the easiest event to get people out to. There are obviously other events we will go to as well for the guys who can't make this. yes

I may roll through, got a lot going on this week, but I'll likely come by for a while.

I'm willing to bet theres no power at the OBD2 port, so check the cigerette lighter fuse and see if you can get codes. That would be a good place to start. I doubt the IAC valve is bad, as I'd be looking for vacuum leaks or a hanging throttle.

Well in the past week I've swapped transmissions in the Camaro, tweaked the tune, and done some cruising. The Miata got new hub bearings in the rear, and driven to work every day. Need to get the bike out damnit.

Again I have to agree with AJ, taking away surface area and weakening the surface with holes and slots is such a waste. Even if you can machine your rotors, on a car that is driven hard it's just much simpler to get a decent set of blanks. Less likely to wrap again, and will stand up to more abuse without cracking.

This. Just get some cheap "blank" rotors, don't waste your money on drilled and slotted shit. I have hawk pads on my Camaro and I don't think they're all that great, but they work. If all you're going to do is cruise and drag race I wouldn't spend a lot of money on pads either. If you want Hawks this is the package I bought. http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetails.php?PartID=321&CategoryID=90&ModelID=7

nice intro welcome

I guess I'm not sure what you mean by deisel, you mean while its running there is a sound? every 10 seconds or so? That sounds pretty odd, the engine should turn over more then a few times in 10 seconds. Is there any other way to describe the noise?

Sounds good I'll be out.

guess thats why you have fast cars :fuckyeah: Stuck working FML, at least I go on vacation as soon as my day is over.

sounds like you have some nice stuff, but we can't see it This intro will not get you into the site without some editing.

Paul I'm down for something cheap, I'm going to be stretching our budget the next few weeks, so if we can do something around $20 I'm down.

I'd suggest you show up early to guarantee a spot, plan on working the course, and stay till its over. These events rely on everyone's participation.

Okay cool,but I didn't sign up.

What would a MAzdaspeed Miata with treadwear100 tires sign up for? Everything else stock.

No, rain, and just no.

So far I'm the only one actually racing mine. Guess it's solo Miata.

You give me the dates and I'll update it. If I go autocrossing sunday it will be at Ackerman.

Stock pushrods bend easy, was it a rich or a lean code?

Good answer, makes me want to come :fuuuu:

hmmmm, Tom wants me to go to Kilkare for a different SCCA event, my wife wants me to pack some shit for our move next week and go to a party, you guys want me to kick...I mean race with you. Really not sure what I'm doing this weekend, gotta work saturday or I'd have more of ths packing done.

Did you guys sell this? None of your pics are working. Not that I need it, I'm just curious and giving you a free bump.
