Yes. I was originally leaning toward staying true to the swap with a K24A2, but I think with so many more successful K24Z3 swaps up and running now I may join that bandwagon...if I could find a decent engine to get my hands on anyway... The Z3 will work better with NASA Time Trial and Super...

Got a TV out of necessity a couple weeks ago...wasn't in the budget so nothing fancy, but still feels nice having something newer than 8+ years old. Wife recently got a new kitchen. I'm still financially recovering from my new Super Duty I finally picked up last month. On top of that I built...

Yesterday I filled up my Super Duty at $3.79/gallon for 87. Not fun with a 48 gallon tank. 89 was $4.29, 91 was $4.49, and 93 was $4.79. Of course my other car takes 93... I'm starting to miss my beater commuter car that I sold right before prices started skyrocketing. And yes, those...

zilvia.net - until it died. miataturbo.net - even though my Miata is not turbo'd it's the best track-based Miata forum. Lots of good info there and plenty of well documented N/A track builds. K-swap builds currently prevalent, which is what I'm leaning toward with mine. mazdaspeedforums.org...

I just took delivery of my new Super Duty last week and was poking around the dealer looking at the couple Mustangs they had. Unfortunately they were both lower end Ecoboost models, but I was trying to get some information on the 2024 refresh without much luck. I had driven a rental Ecoboost...

My short list requirements: - RWD - Manual transmission - Under $60k So pretty much the Z or a Mustang. If the Audi RS3 hatchback was offered in the US that would trump all of those other requirements though haha.

It was an excellent end to the race in GTD Pro. Wish Vanthoor hadn't spun and had been able to go side by side down to the finish, but excellent driving by both him and Jaminet.

I was going to go, but with the new DC COVID guidelines in place as of the 15th of this month I am no longer able. And of course the Richmond Auto Show that I normally go to every year (and where there are less strict COVID guidelines) is cancelled this year due to convention center...

Well damn, I was planning on going to the DC Auto Show to see the new Z but the newest COVID mandates no longer allow me to attend. Oh well. Hopefully there will be a bunch of new pictures circulating after the shows get going! I'll be patiently waiting for them to arrive at dealers for me to...

Oh, I agree 100%. I'm not one to go anywhere close to the limit on the streets. I truly believe that the track is the place to go all out. I have a 400hp Mazdaspeed3 that I drive like a grandpa most of the time haha. I do take it back roading every once in a while, but if there is any other...

I have a dedicated track car, so I'm not sure if the Z would ever see the track. I usually try to keep my street cars on the street and track cars on the track if I can. I will most likely have the Z more set up for back roads and cruising. Though, if my wife lets me, I may try to sneak it...

Currently tracking in NASA TT6 in the Mid-Atlantic region. Car is prepped for wheel-to-wheel racing, but honestly I have so much fun just trying to beat my own times that the open track time in Time Trials is good enough for now.

I miss the car that started it all for me and got me into working on cars: 1990 Nissan 240SX S13 hatch. Bought it completely stock when I was 18. Learned how to do an engine swap on my own and dropped in a SR20DET in my parent's garage. Sold it when I decided it was time to "be an adult."...

Virginia Commonwealth University - Bachelor of Science in Business Management with concentration on Entrepreneurship. It was my fallback for getting waitlisted for the Architecture program at Virginia Tech. I decided to take the early acceptance at VCU and stay local as I would not have been...

I've named most of my cars. Don't know why, it just feels right haha. Usually the name just comes to me randomly, I don't put much thought into it once it sticks. If one doesn't have a name it just means it wasn't around long enough. Current: 2009 Mazdaspeed3 - Carolyne 2022 Ford F-250 Super...
