Yay I finally got around to doing a clean lap of the Nordschleife with the Aztek. Unfortunately the Xbox DVR only captures 5 minutes at a time so I'd have to make multiple clips of the replay to get the whole thing but it's not really worth watching it all. It's just for fun :P

Rhyno you should buy an M3. Seriously any generation M3 and the nicest one you can afford. You can then sell both your MS6 and Miata. I sold my MS6 over three years ago for an M3 twice as old and twice the miles. The MS6 was a good car but the E36 made me an M3 idiot.

You wanted to mantrans swap it right? Used nv4500s for diesels sell for 1300 or more... in junkyard pull condition. I sell gas v8 ones that won't even fit the diesel for up to 1200 when I find them. You dodged a bullet, really.

Nah, if I had bought it I would've just run it with the slushbox. Don't need a third project, I need a vehicle that will last until I get the cruiser done because the Mazda has failed me.

I just thought it would be a good choice because I work with a bunch of mopar guys and could've probably unloaded it on one of them after I was done with it.

Seriouspost for a sec :

You know what I'm feeling the real lack of? Mates who want to at the very least point and laugh as I repair another loving Subaru. I cant complain about life too much, putting everything in perspective I might be broke right now and been having a hard time getting on top of injury and sickness fitnesswise but you know I cant say poo poo is bad. I'm sure curveballs are coming so I'll enjoy it while I can..... but still, 47 and I just dont have much in common with men near my own age. I had my divorce much earlier, I dont have kids, I'm not really career focused and I prefer spending time after work on the bike or swimming rather at the pub or home wrangling children stressing out over mortages and the other billion things a family gives you. I have this absurd freedom where I can just choose to ride 100kms whenever I feel like it, I can play with my cars, I have my cats and stuff.... but I have so little in common with anyone close to my age. I cant BS about families and that side of life (and I have no interest in it) and there's so few on the other side that can or do share my passions in life.

Hell, the men of my age that are reaching divorce and relationship problem time are more interested in hitting the piss or trying to delude themselves in thinking they can bang young secretaries... or try to relive a misspent youth that they are too fat and unfit to really do anymore. I just look at that and I'm just....ugh. No bloody thanks.

I dunno, there's something so genuinely relaxing and carthic about talking poo poo while spannering cars. When I got my own place about 15 years ago there was a group of us that would sit around the VR4 and do a few odd jobs but the main point was always talking poo poo and hanging out. We eventually built a pretty formidible car as an aside too :)

I even have one hell of a project that can do with some spare hands. Or just a few people sitting around pointing and laughing as I gently caress something up. Kinda a pity I'm doing this one on my own, it would be fun to share with a few fellow idiots.

Stock ones are already starting to climb at a pretty good rate. I'm half tempted to buy a 100% stock, under 100k mile one then drive it once a month and see where values go. I'm sure the girlfriend would love another vehicle getting garage space instead of her truck.

I'm near hoarding status on old BMWs...E21, E28, 3x E30 plus the other several E21s and E30s I've had to flip/partout/race&destory


Has anyone found a link to the last ~45 minutes of the 2017 Bathurt 12 hour race? I didn't finish watching the stream when it was live and the link that pointed to that stream now has all but the last 40 or so minutes. Cuts out right after Ferrari passes Mercedes in the grass

Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.

I swapped an SR20 into an S12 one time and it was much better to work on than the RBs I was used too. Better access and less stuff to go wrong and more power on a stock bottom end most of the time.

Buying a house can be a complete ball ache and moving house is too stressful for what is essentially driving a van back and forth. Also gently caress decorating.

But congrats, hope it's all structurally sound and gets sorted quickly. Summer BBQs are where it's at.

The pressure plate itself? Usually have to have it sent off, but the tolerances for resurfacing are really thin, its why most people just treat the pressure plate as disposable if its damaged.

Meh, not bad. Today I drank a fruity shake thing from an overpriced company called Upbeat and it's causing my stomach to cramp up something rotten. I'm now recalling having something of theirs a year or so ago which had a similar effect and kinda tasted like vomit. Probably won't buy anything of theirs again. Hopefully I won't poo poo my pants on the drive home.

I spent three hours over the weekend working on a coding challenge for an engineering position at a hedge fund. I fundamentally disagree with the idea that long coding challenges are at all useful, but I also can't back down at an opportunity to gauge how smart I am. Oh, and I need to knock out a 90 minute coding challenge for $ONLINE_RETAILER by Wednesday.

So, kinda good but also busy?
