He passed away last year but I remember being a kid in my dad’s garage. He had this huge wooden step with reinforced metal corners that he made for me to stand on so I could see what was on his workbench.
The concrete had a crack just like that photo
and there was always half an engine on that workbench.

Music makes the driving experience 10x better. Engine sounds + djent = fun
I love everything about the brz except for how painfully slow it is in stock format. Also a bit too small imo

There's always a fastener that breaks, or a specific pulling tool I don't have so I have to try MacGyvering a different one with a C-clamp 3 different ways...
I am not a car guy, but I have to say that I like being able to reach places I couldn't without one.
My Seat Leon saloon in the mountains in Austria. A very practical choice that can also withstand the wilderness that is the German Autobahn, and the sound system is decent so I am happy.

I reflashed my MK7 GTI's ECU and TCU with Simostools open source Android software and SL1 bluetooth dongle. Should have now like +300hp & 500nm. Moves quite well and weighs around 1400kg's. ECU has speed limiter removed, static rev limiter off. TCU now has the stupid kick down in manual mode off, so it's "true manual" now, and the torque limiter is off with raised clutch pressure. You can do start and stop off in the starting which I will take as option after tuner has inspected my TCU logging file. This is how it should be straight from the factory.
Also did resonator delete a week ago just for the DSG farts, and looking for another rear silencer because stock one is pretty meh. Clubsport S back box sounds pretty good but price is on the expensive side...
Software I used is from Russell Road & Racing and they're based in Norwich, England. They have good instructions how to do flashing and logging with Simostools and I also got further advice when he sent me the products.
Highly recommend this method if you have Volkswagen group vehicle with EA888 engine.

Not sure if this belongs here or FWP thread.
I wanted to use KTuner to disable VCM at the PCM in my new Honda Odyssey, but it's like the only Honda vehicle they don't support. Now I have to decide if I want to basically use a resistor inline with one of the ECT sensors to fake the PCM and risk running a little rich... probably not.
I guess not enough people are tuning minivans.
