uhh, I live in the desert that is commiefornia.
No rust here boyo. Well not frequently.
So, went bike part shopping for my RGV 250
Probably won’t mean much to non-motorcycle non-2 stroke old school GP replica bike nerds but…
- 1x 17,000 km jap import motor from a VJ22 (91). looks genuine… very clean, etc. (could be parts washer but hey, not scratched up, etc.).
- 1 set of cougar red billet power valves
- 1 set of Tuning Works power valve pulleys
- 1 set of replacement fork stanchions
- tyga upper fairing stay
- tyga clear screen
- pro-bolt black bolt kit
- VJ22 SP mirrors
- New oil tank sender unit
I seized the engine on it in 2014 and its been sitting in the shed waiting for some love for a while…
Just over 3 grand in parts for it in the past 2 months…

So my brother’s car has a rattling passenger seat.
It’s not loose, and it’s intermittent. It never happens when someone is sitting in it.
Any diagnosis clues?
It’s a 2013 elantra gt.
spring inside the seat?
Seatbelt?
Not the seat belt. Tried taping it and buckling it. 
That’s my thought. I don’t want to have to tear it apart…
Unrelated, project cars is incredible fun. Anyone else have it? Might be fun to set up some races.
Yup aging… my car has roughly the same issue.
Just deal with it or have a bad time

Thought you were asking if we had project cars, like IRL.
I don’t have either which one are you talking about, the first or second one?

Online real life racing 
Perhaps ice racing with a designated distance and direction between cones…tho ice conditions can vary. Could do the same concept on pavement?
can confirm. I’ve got pc2. Unfortunately no time to play it for the next few months… I suck anyway lol

If you guys end up racing together I’m down to buy it.
I have assetto corsa.
I’m playing the second one, but it seems like they’re backwards compatible. (it was on sale for like $15 during winter sale)
So do I, but I figured it would be some good community fun.
I’ve got this as well. Haven’t played too much of it with the wheel yet, only just got my windows box up and running.
I mean, PC2 has a “heavy snow” track condition. That would be fun.

Finally recovering after a tough 24. Thursday was a fun day after setting up the tent. Friday was pretty easy with a warmup for Michellin Cup, all skate for Rolex and then the Michellin Cup 4 hour race. That started off with a bang… with a Camaro trying to knock down our wall early on eventually leading to a FCY because it was being such a pain to get on the tiltbed. Most likely because after the hit the car was a teeter totter. Numerous incidents as we had 9 FCY’s total with 2 being ours, ended up over at 5A for the last 75 minutes or so.
The start of Saturday dawned sunny and decent… and quickly went down hill. My shift was from 1830 to 2230 and then 0630 to 1030. Temps dropped throughout the day until the start. It was either cold or nippy depending where at 5 you were. Got off corner, went back to camp and got some sleep until about 0430 when the alarm went off and pitter patter was present. Shift started in the heavy rain, which then turned into a red flag. I think it was about 0800 they tried to go green… and failed miserably with a two car wreck in the tri-oval. This led to more circulating and me waving either white or yellow depending where the sweepers and blowers were. Ended up getting off station seeing about 15 cars come through in green flag conditions, total, for the 4 hours. Went back to workers compound then watched all the chaos as racing finally returned… sorta. It was more like sliding demolition derby at some points. NASCRAP spent 400+ million and couldn’t do shit about the draining, or lack there of leading into turn 1, all through 6 and the bus stop.
Overall glad I went down because I got to see a lot of friends who I don’t get to see that often… but man I would have killed for some more non-rain time.

I was confident I could finish work on my mom’s HHR today.
The exhaust manifold begged to differ.
The split goes almost completely around. Now I get to go wrench on a car in the junkyard in the morning!

looking forward to people dumping their R32’s in the US when R34s are legal. Always prefered the 32 and i plan to take advantage of the price fluctuation.

Is this something that could be brazed together or does the manifold get to hot for the braze to stay?
34s are holding their value pretty well (nowhere near as cheap as you can get 32s and 33s), i doubt people will be dumping their 32s either as plenty of people like them.
(in australia where all 3 have been legal since forever).
there’s already people selling 32s to get 33s and the 33s aren’t even that popular. Do i think it’s going to be a massive drop? no but it’s probably going to be the best time to buy.
