    Deals on Triumph motorcycles

    Decent deal, if they were offering it on the Speed Triple, I might bite.

    Help Request from Japan

    Do you have a fuel pressure gauge on the car, or a Schrader valve on the fuel rail to attach one? Even w/o a gauge, opening the Schrader valve with a small screwdriver will verify you have fuel and some kind of pressure at the rail(watch your eyes). Tuned Port Induction Specialties...

    Heading to Havasu

    Watch out for the brain-eating amoebas: http://phoenix.about.com/od/health/qt/Ameba.htm Looks like a sweet boat - going fast on water just seems so much more exciting than going fast on land.

    driving on DRs

    As long as you air them up, it's not too bad (the driving, not sure what it will do to your tire life). One thing to watch out for, with the sidewalls being so soft, the ass-end kind of sways back and forth a bit when changing lanes at freeway speeds. Other than that, just pray it doesn't rain.

    This Makers Mark is for Jake

    Ever tried Knob Creek? I prefer it to Maker's Mark.

    Wife's new car.

    The regular WRX is only rated at 224 hp; they're quick-ish, but certainly not fast. Though like most turbo motors, they respond pretty favorably to engine bolt-ons. An old room-mate of mine had an '02 WRX wagon that dynoed 270+ to the wheels with headers, up pipe, down pipe, turbo back...

    Fully custom pre-runner Lightning

    This truck belongs to a friend of mine - he just bought a house and can't afford to keep it. Fully caged, all custom built, it started off as a real Ford Lightning. When we were measuring for the limit straps, we hooked an engine hoist to the rear bumper and started jacking, we got the rear...

    Isn't is odd, that we're all here because of a silly truck?

    SoCal Fires

    Good to hear he will be OK. It's almost become a cliche this week "They're just material possessions". While that's true, once I knew my girlfriend, our pets, and myself to be physically safe, the stuff that panicked me the most was the little stuff we tend to take for granted. For whatever...

    SoCal Fires

    I'm so sorry to hear that Boss - will he be OK, obviously not short term, but long term, with insurance, FEMA, etc? If there's anything we can do to help him out, thow it out there and one of us will step up, you know that.

    SoCal Fires

    I just got back into my place this morning - looks like I dodged a bullet and everything is OK. Several complete buildings and individual units burned in the complex, and of course all the buildings look more or less alike - so I was sick with panic when I saw this video shot in my complex...

    SoCal Fires

    Just checking in, got the call to evacuate at 4:30 Monday morning. Thankfully, my GF Somer is out of town for the week. Thew the 2 cats into the truck and booked it out of there. Somer's parents own a condo in Ocean Beach they're letting me use, so I'm reasonably comfortable for the moment...

    How A Triumph MC is made

    That is possibly the greatest video ever made. British/Monty Python-ish humor combined with bikes = perfection. I want a new Thruxton quite badly.

    STS: Is it just a bad system.....?

    So do all STS systems use the same/similar piggyback tuners that seems to be the root of most of the problems? A friend of mine has a newer F150, STS is offering him a pretty good deal on a prototype system. Should I tell him to wave off?

    Pre-runner Lightning

    I know, I know - some damn thing always comes up that keeps me from making it. That, and I never scroll down to the bottom of the page to the "Events" section:o

    Pre-runner Lightning

    For those of you who might be interested in such things, this is a friend of mine's truck. He just bought a house and can't afford to keep it, the thing is an absolute monster - completely custom built, about the only stock things left are the cab, motor, and some of the frame. Honestly, these...
