MrH's BRZ Thread

[giant_mtb]

Maybe you'd make a profit and have money for FRSBRZ and tirez.

[Raza]

I doubt it.  Insurance is pretty cheap.  I'm only paying $411/6-months!  I have USAA though, which is the shit and super cheap.  It's the best ever.

Get snow tires and drive a BRZ all year.  That's what I'm doing.

You have USAA?  I thought they only insured veterans and their families.

My dad's a veteran.  I was an army brat growing up.  That's why I moved around so much.  I actually grew up in California, but try and keep it on the down low so people don't think I'm like Benz Boy

brz forum is absolutely unbearable. Guy claims he has an ECU flash netting 18 hp over stock he couldn't even find where to get a feed for the tach for the dyno, so the x axis is in MPH. There's no torque curve either. People are throwing money at him left and right. The skeptics are being blocked and called trolls

[r0tor]

Well without a tach input, the dyno can't convert the power into torque... So that is legit

Do the engines have spark plug leads or are the coils mounted directly on the head?

It's been my experience (with one exception) that all marque and model specific forums are filled to the brim with douchenozzles.

I'd be seriously surprised if it was anything other than coil-on-plug.

Pretty sure you can just change out the points and condenser on that and get 20 hp.

[Secret Chimp]

Toyota's been doing COP for so long you can do a Toyota COP conversion on old Miatas for like five bucks.

They're normally ok if the car is 20+ years old.

The SHO forum when I was on was actually filled with good people. The owner did heavy moderation though.

When mine blew up someone offered me a free shortblock to keep it on the road. (Couldn't afford $800 UPS wanted to ship to Germany, and USPS max is 70lbs...    )

I'm sitting at work.  Got a ton due by Monday/Tuesday that I need to get done.  This is brutal.

I gotta get my Sirius subscription transferred over too.  I cleaned out the miata last night, and found the title and keys.  I was going to try to get it at lunch, but 4:30 today sounds more feasible.  Picking it up with the plastic on it, so the few pics I get up today will be kind of ridiculous.  Once it gets detailed and controversially tinted this weekend, I'll put up better pictures

[MrH]

THIS IS PURE AND UTTER AGONY.  GET ME OUT OF THIS CUBICLE!

BRP? BRD? BRG? BRV?

Stop posting on the SPIN and get your work done so you can leave.

[Raza]

Post on SPIN and stay late!  It's Friday the 13th!  You can't pick up your car on Friday the 13th!

The whole rest of the evening would be like a Final Destination movie for your car. 

[MrH]

Well, just got about 6 hours of work dumped on me....they want it by Monday.  Behind on 4 other things too.  I'm about to just get up, yell fuck it, and go get my car at this point.

[Laconian]

Drive now, work over the weekend. It doesn't matter how you structure your time between now and Mon.

[Rupert]

Aye. Aren't you dropping it off at the detailer, anyway?

[MrH]

Tomorrow, down in Cincinnati.  Turns out my brother won't be around tomorrow to pick me up, so I might be stuck sitting there for four hours, watching him detail my car

Guess I'll bring the work laptop or the Kindle or something.

Video tape it.  It's like car porn.

[MrH]

Alright, I've had enough.  I'm out of here to go get it.
