Some days I really miss my TDI. My immediate family has owned 5 of them. (All pre-PD era, thankfully)

I'm relatively new to firearms, but one word of advice seems to have stuck with me: get what fits you best. The best-built gun on the market that you aren't comfortable with or can't control is not the best gun for you. I happen to like Glocks. They fit me. They're simple and easily...

My vote is Weatherpack or Deutsch

Do those heat sleeves protect the piston tops against detonation?

Makes sense. (though the ARPs I used on a VW head DID have a retorquing schedule)

Could you explain your reasoning? I'm not arguing, just curious.

That's my commercial account

I'm in no hurry. Might give you enough time to find those flange caps ;)

Pricing on rear u-joint shaft & HD drive flanges shipped to 17557?

Exactly my thought

Don't know. They stay in the heated garage.

I have an acquaintance that is convinced battery-powered cars are the only way of the future. He is so convinced that he has converted a Miata over & butchered a vintage Saab to be powered by motors. Overall, I have to admit that he did a pretty good job of it (much better than a Ranger with...

So much great stuff on this page alone

Front half-shafts and hubs are certainly getting pricey. IME you don't need an iX. My brother and I made it back from Detroit in the blizzard of '96 through 10" of snow in his Blizzak-shod 325e with very little drama. It is a wonderfully balanced car and completely predictable when it gets slick.

Driving the back side of West Maui did have its tight moments, but really wasn't that terrible. I do think the warnings are warranted for most rental car drivers though. The south side of the island was tight as well, but I managed to follow a local who knew the road and kept the speed up...

Done. Thanks for keeping this place alive!

I saw that yesterday. I didn't realize that they distributed each others product as much as they did
