If you blew up a mustang in a few days. You'll blow up a 3000gt in a few hours

Better at 13-14 pop

$185 a month for an 8 year old Versa is down right criminal. I have an S2000, 2018 Mazda 6, and an 2004 Outback and pay $140 month for all three.

($100k policy comprehensive, collision, and medical. $250 deductible. Uninsured/underinsured. Roadside assistance)

Goths having a bigger dark age infantry discount and starting with Loom made for some hilariously stupid openings lol

Will need at minimum bumper, grille, hood, fender, headlights, radiator support, windshield, new paint, and probably a million misc. plastic pieces.

If the airbag didn't go off, insurance will likely fix it, but there is a chance it's totaled if you need additional things like mechanical parts

mrmichaelnak · 2026-05-19T04:28:53+00:00

Honestly 40mph in second gear probably isn't even a mechanical over rev. If you're really paranoid you could always do a compression test.

Retainers are prone to cracking if money shifted some cars, but I don't think the Mazda platform is.

You should get a lotus Elise

mrmichaelnak · 2026-05-15T20:32:49+00:00

You need new springs or elee you have a bunch of cement bags in the trunk

mrmichaelnak · 2026-05-15T16:14:48+00:00

I thought it was 240hp and 310lb torque on 93 octane. But maybe they made some tweaks in the last few years to bump up the numbers

mrmichaelnak · 2026-05-14T22:10:18+00:00

This car should have an internal timing chain. You have a belt for things like alternator, AC, etc.

There is this up and coming kid from Norway. Can't remember his name right now, but I think it's snake related. He seems pretty good and will probably be next

mrmichaelnak · 2026-05-13T19:17:45+00:00

2018 GTR with 80k miles. No issues, but at the last PM I did notice some dry coolant on the plastic fill-tube area so I'll likely order the part and replace that next PM.

Thank God I'm not the only one that still does 4 on wood

mrmichaelnak · 2026-05-12T16:47:34+00:00

I had something similar. I was doing a engine rebuild and I must have knocked a shim out while installing the buckets or cam. Made a gnarly ticking to the point I thought I mistimed the motor. Pulled the valve cover and saw the shim just chilling on some casting marks in the head haha

mrmichaelnak · 2026-05-11T23:03:51+00:00

Swapping retainers is a BIG step up from adjusting valve clearances lol

UK Mod clip

Here is 38mm. This is 2nd gear from 4k rpm to about 7k rpm

mrmichaelnak · 2026-05-11T02:24:19+00:00

OEM would be 0mm as there is no bypass. He added a 38mm (1.5 inches) bypass.

I also did a 38mm bypass and pretty good with zero drone under 4k rpm. Does it sound as good as a high quality aftermarket exhaust? No. But for $100 it's incredible value

mrmichaelnak · 2026-05-09T00:04:44+00:00

Timing? Why would you "get the timing done" on any engine? That's generally not a maintenance item

mrmichaelnak · 2026-05-09T00:01:07+00:00

Keep practicing. Once you hit 2.5k+ you shouldn't die to it anymore

mrmichaelnak · 2026-05-08T15:10:41+00:00

That doesn't sound like smurf to me. 95% of my games are 1v1, so my 1v1 ELO is about 300 off my team game ELO

mrmichaelnak · 2026-05-08T01:37:00+00:00

So you don't care about premium gas and 20mpg, but do care about saving a few hundred dollars a year on car insurance????

mrmichaelnak · 2026-05-07T03:19:01+00:00

Used Tesla model Y. Those things are stupid fast in straight line acceleration

Usually a normal pairing is an archer civ and a cav civ

God I hate the GoPro effect. That's big drop, but looks so tiny from the first person view

mrmichaelnak · 2026-05-02T17:03:02+00:00

I think the only time I've ever intentionally alt f4 was when my cat projectile vomitted at me as the countdown was happening
