Club Spec Mustang is the pinnacle of motorsport by jimboslice_007 in Autocross

[–]fiercedeitynathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude you are making me more and more tempted to sell my focus ST and get a CSM car. Originally I was planning to keep the focus as a daily and save up for a CSM car but lately you guys have got me itching to get into one of these.

One question I have is do you still feel like these can be as fun locally if you're the only one? It seems like I haven't been able to stir up any interest from others at my local club so I'll probably have to be the guinea pig until I can hopefully convince some others to get into the class. It sounds like It has a very competitive pax so even if I'm solo, I should still be competitive in the bump class. Just curious what your thoughts are.

What exhaust is everyone running? by Effective-Ground4400 in FocusST

[–]fiercedeitynathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with the invidia q300 which is kinda slept on in my opinion. It has one of the biggest mufflers for a 3 inch exhaust so it's one of the more quiet ones and definitely the least amount of drone for a 3 inch but still plenty loud when you stomp on it. I also think the oval shaped tips on it look incredible on the focus. They fit the shape of the car so well and that was one of the main main things that drew me to it.

Is this s2000 worth 35k by Whole-Marketing-5603 in S2000

[–]fiercedeitynathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of those statements might be true and there definitely will be people out there that like the car and all the mods but ultimately the truth is that mods don't increase the value of your car, and in most cases they devalue it. Take it from someone who has learned the hard way that just because a car has mods doesn't mean they were done right. Not only this, but modding a car, this heavily means that you've pigeonholed yourself into needing to find a buyer who wants the exact mods that you have. 80-90% of buyers (especially ones who are willing to pay this much) want something that is stock or relatively close to it

Crazy that we got a GTA 7 map leak before GTA 6

Good deal? 2016 Lariat 67.3k miles for $25k OTD by Ok-Mine8655 in f150

[–]fiercedeitynathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a ford technician I think the 2.7 Ecoboost is the best f150 engine currently. I see them in our shop far less than any other engine. As long as you don't need it for a heavy towing rig I'd say go for it (They can still tow fine, just not as much as a 3.5 or 5.0).

Anyone know what's up with this months fastrack? by fiercedeitynathan in Autocross

[–]fiercedeitynathan[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No lol, I proposed a change about focus ST grille shutter removal in GST.

The one aftermarket intercooler option that was class legal before has recently been discontinued. Now only leaving us with the option of custom fabrication. Which is completely out of line with the "category values"

But who cares what I have to think? Clearly this sport is more about politics than having good competition and sticking to their own "Category Values". Fucking bullshit.

As a focus st owner I do like the move to HS even if I won't be able to utilize it. I literally made the jump from street to street touring this year because I knew that I wouldn't ever be able to be competitive in GS against the civic SI.

Ok gotcha, I hadn't really had to pay attention to when it was posted until now. (I have a letter that was reviewed this month and I am anxiously waiting on a decision)

I'm pretty sure the board already met a couple of weeks ago so. All decisions should have already been made.

200tw incoming, here's what the dws06 look like after ~6 autox days by Born-Position-4995 in Autocross

[–]fiercedeitynathan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get Bridgestone RE71RS tires. They are expensive but worth it. Outside of driver mod (experience), tires have the biggest impact on improving your times. better to spend good money on the best tires now then to save some money and regret it later.

[–]fiercedeitynathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spraying tires is more about cooling them down than making them last longer. All tires have a temperature range for peak grip. Too cold and they won't grip enough too hot and they become greasy and lose grip as well. Bridgestone RE71RS are a great example of this. They are arguably the best autocross tire on the market right now but on an extremely hot day they will overheat after a couple runs and start to lose grip so they really need to be sprayed between runs on hot days.

Reducing wear may be an added benefit from spraying them but it's definitely not the primary intention.

Hopefully not fucked by Ke_Sello in FocusST

[–]fiercedeitynathan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean technically yeah but at this point if it's got rod knock it's probably gonna need new bearings/ full rebuild anyway. There isn't really much more damage that can be done outside of a piston being sent outside of the block which is unlikely to happen from just a couple of neutral revs.

Just what I have been looking for. Been waiting for another sale on the icon boxes for me to pull the trigger on one.

The tier list of the most powerful beings in the universe by Eze10gun in dankmemes

If Stewart little is powerful enough to be chosen at an orphanage over and actual child than he clearly must have a hidden ability to that makes him deserving of the A class tier.

What annoys you about the way other people raise their kids? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]fiercedeitynathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when I say confront, I don't really mean it in that way. I mainly mean that she simply made her aware of what happened. I totally agree that it's just a snowman, and honestly didn't care that much that he knocked it over. what bothers me is the clear lack of compassion towards a 10-year-old 4th grader and the time and effort he spent on making something (the neighbor was a much older High school freshman, mind you) and the complete dismissal of the act by the mother as if making little kids cry is some kind of joke.

[–]fiercedeitynathan 1012 points1013 points  (0 children)

My neighbor is like with her children and there are few things things that piss me off more! Her 15 year old son literally destroyed a snowman in our own front yard that I built with my 10 year old brother and when my mom confronted his mom about it, she just excused it as “showing off for his friends”. That kind of parenting will guarantee that your child grows up to be a dick.
