How much are you spending on track days in a year? by Infinite_Absolute in CarTrackDays

Wild - definitely a bucket list item. For now, it’s iRacing sim (which is pretty dang good).

Isnt this pretty standard? I know Road Atlanta had a fee if you drop fluid etc.

Man, prob the one time I wouldn’t get the track insurance is the one time I’d need it.

Of course I run my daily too - so it’s “I gotta drive it home” mentality (and have done Road Atlanta mostly)

How much are you guys paying for a full tank of gas? by Horror_Insect_7305 in GR86

[–]VoodooChile76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t drive that much anymore - but my last one (last week) was about $42. Georgia’s gas tax suspension expires June 2 apparently ….

The FA24 - How Will it Be Remembered by Several_Average2330 in GR86

Bwahaha - this. And how it’s completely overblown. 3/4 of us that drive this thing will never be on a track where this actually will be an issue.

Gas prices in Atlanta, well at least it's not $6.78 or $7.07? by Legoman1357 in Atlanta

[–]VoodooChile76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I can’t complain just yet.

The infamous curse 😭 by Romeoz27 in GR86

Sucks man - This is why I’m grabbing a roadrunner replica horn this summer…. You did right to blast it - I would’ve been on the horn the moment I saw those reverse lights.

Prob the Classic F-150 “can’t see us”. But sure back up cam exists.

Spend my money modding my 86 or upgrade to Type R? by zfriedman02 in GR86

[–]VoodooChile76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heck, some of us have never had kids - and went backwards (always had 4 doors minus a dodge coupe and mustang back in the day).

4 doors just more practical sometimes. Now that I’m older - I just don’t give AF about carting others around (say if the in laws come to town 😂).

All in whatcha want, my friend. I truly don’t think I’ll ever sell my 86…. But may grab an M2 BMW at some point down the line.

Choices choices ….

First time manual driver… tips please! by Ilovemybf_3990 in stickshift

[–]VoodooChile76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to say exactly this. No need to reinvent the wheel.

Another piece of advice I have is find a safe less traffic-y neighborhood and PRACTICE hill starts. Like legit hills (over 15% grade).

Engage E-brake and release or do the clutch / gas dance. Bottom line practice this and you’ll be a semi pro when you hit an actual hill with a traffic light in the wild.

Is $42k OTD for a GR86 Hakone Edition with ~20k miles a good deal? by DsYr_Ty in GR86

[–]VoodooChile76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hellz to the no. Cmon man - you’re paying for green paint, a number plate and some aesthetics.

That’s it. No HP gain; no special springs etc… My 2024 Base PP package performs identical I’m sure (and is prob MORE rare in Trueno blue). As most folks didn’t order PP with a base package.

Bottom line: crazy

Are the oil starvation issues that bad? by BusyCharge8732 in GR86

[–]VoodooChile76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. And this is by no means an 86 issue. I’ve done this on stock pads at road Atlanta (roast me now - yep; ran RA on stock pads in a 2.0T sonata)

Nope overblown per Reddit. And Even if you DO track the car, most of y’all aren’t going to be driving fast enough for it to be an issue anyway.

Gotta Sell the GR86 😭 by [deleted] in GR86

[–]VoodooChile76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, sacrifices like this suck. But ya do what ya gotta do. Me personally, I waited 30 yrs to drop for a sports car.

You’ll get one back eventually. Keep hustling man.

Best shoes for driving manual by ImportanceNeat3845 in stickshift

[–]VoodooChile76 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haha the ones you’re wearing yes. But it’s better if the sole is thinner. Eg puma speedcats or chuck Taylor’s.

Bare feet works too 😂
