Coat your cams!

Back when I did a lot of work on Spec Miatas here in California there was always talk of "coating" engine, transmission, and differential internals. I never knew what this coating was, and I doubt anyone else did either. I'm sure some of you are aware of it, though. Anyway, I'm doing a Rhe...

Re: $450 for a parts car?

I'd say yes if there is enough to salvage, or you want the chassis. The engine alone is practically worth it. If the front diff has gone back I would be highly suspicious of the entire transmission just based on bearing contamination.

Re: Contemplating about a replacement car

If you hang on to the legacy and your impreza, do you really need to worry about maximizing storage capacity in the commuter? Maybe just get a Thule box for when you need more room in the fiesta.

I don't know whether to be happy or angry...

Gotta vent this somewhere... My Fiance and I have been living in the city of Sacramento, CA for about 4 years and have never had a problem with someone messing with our cars until this morning. We normally carpool to work, and as we walked up to our soft top Miata we both notice at the same time all...

Re: Contemplating about a replacement car

Or VW... Or anything with a flagged Takata airbag, or Kia SUVs, or Hyundai Sonatas...

But since you want a wagon and MT, why not look for a used Impreza wagon? Where I live there are always a few on Craigslist for ~$6000 or so, but I don't live in Texas.

Re: Contemplating about a replacement car

I agree with Mr. Conte. So many good cars out there by other manufacturers. I like to poke around on Car and Driver's website to get an idea of various cars in each category.

Re: Team Conte

Well... I read you compete in Open Light, so you have an NA engine, is the chassis from a turbo model? I'm not too familiar with the rulebook so I am curious how extensive your build is. Also what seems to fail most on the chassis due to stress/fatigue?

Re: Hypothetical question about handling dynamics.

Have you been reading the manga series of Initial D? I can see how this transfer would be interesting for a drift car to experiment with, but for grip racing it seems like a bad idea. Now I wonder if you could do the opposite; have this mass set in to motion in a direction opposite of weight transfe...

Lost connections: Previous Owner for Current Owner

I've been rummaging around on legacycentral lately, missing my legacy I used to have. I ended up finding the old build thread I made about 5 years ago. Getting all sentimental and whatever I started to wonder how the car was doing. I sold it a few years ago out of desperation, as I was going to scho...

Tire prices what the sh%t?

Ok maybe it's just me because I've been out of the loop for a while, but have tire prices jumped up quite a bit? I just went looking for some 205/55/16s for my 240sx and I can't get a decent set of tires for under $350-400 shipped on the internet.
