Exactly ! I've been using a similar pan for decades. I hate those pan/container combos, just pour it into your container of choice, and there's no need to "wipe dry" the top. The pan I use has a lid,...

Thanks, though the Super Sports aren't an all-season, but a very good Summer street tire. So possibly a bit less than 3-4 Seconds ?

I'm a pretty good road racer, but I really struggled at the Pocono Solo a few weeks ago, like 5 Seconds off the pace IIRC. It's was only my 2nd Solo, and I had the most trouble with slalom cones. My...

Some places have a holding tank for you to dump your container into, I doubt he's going to all that trouble to dump it on the ground............

I've done it for 6-7 years with no ill effects. Do you see Porsche dealers putting every car in a heated garage for the winter, and forbidding test drives.....I don't think so. The article even...

I drive on my summer tires in the winter, as long as there is no frost or snow. It's not that big a deal, as long as you respect the lower traction limits and don't drive like you would in warm...

Sand & Gravel can have the same effect. I have to be careful driving in PA in the spring, they use gravel/cinders with the salt when they treat the roads. This is especially bad on a motorcycle......

IMO no, you can have a llarge variance in actual applied torque by having dirty threads, oil, or anti-seize vs. dry threads.

I would vote for the middle ground, you don't have to pop for Snap-On, but I wouldn't use harbor Freight either. I have a 3/8" Craftsman and a mid-priced 1/2" Proto.

Common 987 problem. I had my fixed twice under warranty, they did in fact sew it in place. Do some Google searches, I know I found pictures of the procedure somewhere....

That picture doesn't look the same to me. I agree with Racer, the 3 pictures by the OP look like the rubber is worn through to the carcass. Look at the strip of heavy wear on the outer edge. Chunking...

How do these engine swaps get registered and inspected ( legally )? In N.J. it looks like I'm SOL unless the engine is from a newer car, by the same manufacturer, and class of vehicle. I'd love to do...

You can shift mid-corner, you just have to be aware of the results, which will vary depending on the car and corner (speed). At Summit Point in my Formula Ford I pull 2nd in the middle of 5A /5B,...

I don't have the answer to that. IMO, they've already made the cars ugly, so you might as well develop some sort of solution. Though of the recent open cockpit-related deaths, probably nothing would...

This really isn't a technical problem, but one of the open wheel (open cockpit ) culture and tradition, which resists turning them into sprint cars or prototypes.

Yup. I just slapped a set of EBC red on mine a few years ago, next time it gets new rotor and pads. I didn't even use the anti-squeal pads and they've been as quiet and strong as ever.

Mostly good hard racing, but that pass in the grass was just stupid. At some tracks that would get you a talking to by the Stewards.

I wasn't speaking of just engines, which are crazily expensive for a Boxster. My point was, you generally end up "upside down" when making performance modifications. No need to be a di*@ with the...

It's no different than most older cars, I could easily dump $30-40K into my '65 Mustang coupe, and it would be worth $20K if I sold it.
