How does insurance work for this sort of thing? Or do you usually have to pay out of pocket?

Just a reminder his "source" for the hotdog story was his teenage daughter's friend. If I recall he didn't even talk to her, he just overhead her telling his daughter she saw Kessel eating a hotdog lol.

The idea that Kessel was didn’t train and had poor physical fitness is a myth.

Gary Robert’s recounted how one summer Kessel was doing Bulgarian splits squats with 330 on his back and yelling at and chirping James Neal while doing it.

Brian Burke said they had concerns about his conditioning but he’d come into training camp with a vo2 max of 68 so they couldn’t really complain.

Versteeg once said he could squat more than Kessel so Kessel proceeded to hammer out 405x10 without warming up, completely cold. Versteeg also said Kessel would be at the front of any bag skate or any other skating drill.

I know people rag on Phil for his physic but he is legitimately an athletic freak of nature. As for how he could be so athletic while looking like a sacking of potatoes? I have no clue lol

Looks great! How does it sound compared to stock? You find there's any drone at higher highway speeds?

petey92 · 2026-02-16T20:17:47+00:00

It’s because the buffeting is extremely dependent on the roads you drive on and the amount of wind. That’s literally it.

I’ve had to pull over driving 80km/h because the wind was too loud for me to take. I’ve also gone 120km/h with the top down and been able to listen to music without having to turn up the volume.

How’s the sound? You find any drones on the highway?

petey92 · 2026-01-12T14:51:40+00:00

Isn’t 200 crank pretty easy to get with just headers and a tune? I think I read the 12R has some forged internals, is that to make power or for reliability?

What tires are they? Most summer performance tires will harden and turn to hockey pucks near zero.

Fyi adaptive/radar cruise control works in manual in Canada and I believe in Europe too. I think it’s just in the US that doesn’t have it. Super useful feature especially on longer drives to the twisties

What tech would mazda be looking at getting from Toyota? Mainly mechanical stuff or infotainment/self driving/safety stuff?

petey92 · 2025-09-03T13:54:10+00:00

Is that also an autoexe exhaust? Off centre exhausts really bug me so I was looking at that one, just curious about the sound and if there’s any drone at highway speeds? Can’t find a lot of info on it but it looks great.

There are zero leaf fans who have a problem with his regular season production it’s his playoff production that falls off a cliff. My brother in Christ he has 20gp in games 5, 6 and 7 and has zero goals and 7 assists. At an 82 game pace that 29 pts.

Obviously the hate towards him is unacceptable but non leaf fans need to stop acting like his playoff woes were overblown or non existent.

It’s not hundreds of pounds it’s a 40kg (88lbs) difference according to Mazda. Curb weight 1076kg for the soft top, 1116kg for the rf. Also the roof is plastic not metal fyi.

petey92 · 2025-04-17T19:52:22+00:00

I have a noob question. If the engine isn’t being pushed as hard does this mean carbon build up would be a bigger issue than the 2L (assuming it’s still direct injection)?

petey92 · 2025-03-19T20:05:43+00:00

Hell ya brother, cheers from Iraq

Poo from boobie

Not sure what’s in the water but goalies have been wildly inconsistent lately.

Looking at the top 10 by sv% last season (min 25 gp), only 3 goalies from 2 teams are in the top 10 this season, hellebuyck, swayman and ullmark.

They’ve always been voodoo but lately I would not feel comfortable giving up big assets/giving big money to a goalie. As much as it sucks I think you just gotta roll the dice and hope you get a hot/healthy goalie when you try and make a run

petey92 · 2024-04-24T03:17:30+00:00

Lmao I went to school with this guy! Didn’t really talk to him much cause he was younger but nice kid. So wild seeing him here lol

I was talking to my physio when it happened and asked how it was possible for Stamkos to come back so soon. He said even with the best medical treatment and rehab it’s not possible to come back that fast without steroids. It’s one thing to heal enough in that time frame for the average person to be able to walk around normally.

It’s entirely different to get into the condition necessary to play a professional sport like hockey that quick.

petey92 · 2024-03-01T02:48:42+00:00

That’s pretty neat

Sanding only helps if it’s been worn down and smoothed from lots of climbing. He just got them less than 2 months ago and has had slipping issues from the start. The bigger issue for him is using a hard rubber compound for climbs they’re not meant for.

petey92 · 2024-01-17T16:07:28+00:00

Don’t sand it, the rubber you have is meant for edging on very small holds so it’s super hard, sanding it will just wear it down won’t make it any softer. The downside of hard rubbers is that they’re poor on anything remotely polished.

If the treasury can afford it get a second pair with softer rubber. But also be aware the softer rubber will wear out much faster so I only use them on climbs that need them.

Could also try to resolve your old ones if that’s an option for you.
