    Its stuff I wanted to do but didn't. We talk about it and I start doing research lol No clue what those spring rates mean, I assume you're a little stiffer? I messaged Boston on facebook so I can set up that ride along.

    College Student First Car Build

    I wonder what looks like the best option for daily driving. Don't want to track the car until I have another engine waiting to go in lol. I believe BC is offering free shipping, I don't know if that's only on the main continent, but living in Hawaii must be a b**** when it comes to that. You...

    Miatas are nice though! I was tryna find one when I got the P5 but couldn't in my price range. I drove an NC Miata years ago and fell in love instantly. Unfortunately the only Miata I've ever driven

    The plan was to get a car after graduation, but the Mrs. is talking about going to law school after we graduate, which I'm fine with. Told her to go and if I get a good enough job don't worry about working. I really love the newer Mustangs, and the coyote motors LOVE making power with simple...

    Well, the car is still sitting which is even more upsetting because we had a few warm days down here in VA Beach (warm enough I actually took the motorcycle out a few days) and I actually feel encouraged enough to work on cars again. Talking to 323 is hurting the wallet again, as I've been...

    Well, I pulled the MAF and cleaned it and finally got it back on the car. Didn't help my issue at all. Whenever I get a chance I'm gonna have to pull the spark plugs to inspect them and try to repair the crack on the manifold again (I don't know if it is all the way through the manifold or not...

    So after finally finding my code reader, I have 4 codes, 3 of them being new. P0103 P0171 P0102 P0421 Oil is still getting by the turbo seals, so I need to redo the lines and probably get the turbo rebuilt. For now, I'm gonna grab some MAF cleaner and try to clean up the MAF and something to...

    Ironically, this happened not even 24 hours after I was telling Syd how nice it was driving the 2019 Camry all last week and how it is weird driving a car that I don't have to worry about lol I think I hurt her feelings. You and I. I think its a nasty vacuum leak. Sounds like its coming from...

    Well, coming on a year of ownership, and the car decided to break on me today. Was driving to school and noticed the car sounded different under boost when I was going to class, and then on my way back I went to turn into my neighborhood and the car stalled. Now it is idling anywhere between...

    Clunking ended up being the rear spring(s) banging against the struts. Seems the springs are too short or the struts are too long. Since the washers were already added, I don't see what options I have besides making sure the springs are lined up and to slowly lower the car in stages. 2018 has...

    It ended up being not enough tension on the spring. I have no clue how to fix it as, like 323 said, washers were added. Its a huge gap though

    Clunking still has gone undiagnosed as I have been working crazy hours at work and what little time I've had off is spent sleeping or doing other stuff. I did find some time today to grab some 2008 Mazda6 brakes from the local pick n pull today. (was a breeze since someone took apart most of the...
