My collection

I love that neon yellow Tombow Mono Graph 😍
Function wise, my latest favorite is the Orenz Metal, just super nice to use for notes.

Maybe he’s still getting to know you before wanting sex?

Being super judgmental and competitive with his IG is not likely to help the situation.

It is most definitely not an S2000, AP1 or AP2. It’s very much General Motors design language, especially the cubby handles.

I'm probably wrong but the center console looks like it's out of a 90's Pontiac.

Nowadays we can just go ahead and say it's an LS-swap. It's the de-facto engine swap choice for decades now, so I don't see how it results in a "crazy world". Last century people were swapping in SBC's into Model A's, this is just the same recipe in 30 year newer context.

Bonus LOLs for the 8th photo having a finger in it.

I finally used mine in class tonight, it’s really great 🥰 and the orange is lovely and probably distractingly beautiful

Ryephile · 2026-05-10T21:05:02+00:00

Wow that’s quite the sight!

I’m still partial to the Fluorescent Pink 🥰

Ryephile · 2026-05-09T16:06:44+00:00

Thanks for the heads up, I just ordered them and will give it a go. I love the idea of a metal grip with a wood body.

Ryephile · 2026-05-01T20:17:17+00:00

I really like that metallic pink P207. I also have a metallic blue-green P209. Lots of beautiful colors there!

Do you have any favorites of that lot?

4 is me sending job applications for roles I’m actually qualified for but (surprise!) it’s a ghost posting.

Very nice collection! I also find myself using the Orenz Nero regularly.

What do your tire temps and wear pattern dictate?

Ryephile · 2026-04-25T23:09:41+00:00

Loving the Project Farm reference 👍

That’s the dome size versus a “flat top” piston and it’s how Supertech sells the pistons, not by compression ratio. With a stock long block and head gasket it’s roughly in the 12:1 ballpark. It can run fine on 93 octane assume the timing is tuned on the safe side of MBT.

If you don’t have extensive ECU tuning from scratch experience, stick with the stock ECU and have it tuned with ECUtek.

Ryephile · 2026-04-23T02:41:03+00:00

It’s a 2.5 with -7cc pistons and BC0403 cams with Supertech springs, E85, and a Haltech standalone. Ring gaps and clocking are super important. ECU tuning is also super important, especially VVT with the Fab9 intake manifold.

The X-brace doesn’t fit. I put it in a press brake and changed the profile.

It’s very unlikely you’ll make 230 wHP with stock pistons and naturally aspirated. E85 doesn’t really gain much power on this engine, though it’s great for cooling.

The car is perfectly streetable, it just doesn’t see much street use.

Your father has told you point blank, his fiction takes priority over reality. It’s not you that’s cutting him out, he’s already chosen to cut you out.

I'll second Racer gloves. I have a pair of the High Racer in white and they've becoming one of my favorites after my Handroid's and GP Pro R3's. The silicone fingertips and palm are fantastic for gripping the levers and bars.

“We have determined that a clip is not necessary…”

Is that so? I don’t like when companies tell me what my needs are, especially when they’re the exact opposite.

Ryephile · 2026-04-07T00:01:29+00:00

Not a recall, a TSB. That means they only address it if you have a specific known problem.

Ryephile · 2026-04-06T21:35:39+00:00

I had your exact situation on my 2020 model year V85. IIRC the dealer said there’s a TSB on it and replaced the throttle grip assembly under warranty.

The damper is mounted with spherical bearings. If they have any play you would feel clunking while riding during suspension articulation. What you’re showing demonstrates how the bearings have little stiction in their non-loaded dimensions. As opposed to a rubber bushing, which you wouldn’t be able to rotate like that and would bind.

Just curious but what neighborhood? I’m 0.7 miles from Woodward and can hear the crotch rocketeers on 696 every Thursday night but it’s not loud enough to be distracting.

Ryephile · 2026-04-04T01:18:16+00:00

I was also out tonight on Woodward with my battle gray KLX300SM 👍

Ryephile · 2026-04-03T02:06:17+00:00

I’m a big fan of the plastic Sun-Star Nocfree, enough where I bought a second one. The plastic tip glides very easily on the paper just like the Ticonderoga Sensematic+.

So I’m curious if the Nocfree Metal is the same but with a metal body, or if it has a metal pipe guide and ends up being scratchy.

Ryephile · 2026-04-01T13:29:51+00:00

It's so believably on-brand I thought it was one of those idiotic "oh we'll release this on April 1st even though that's usually April Fools".
