    Confirm my diagnosis

    Since I don't drive the wife's car often it's always a surprise to find out what condition it's in when i do. It's an 06 Mazda 3 hatch with the 2.3 liter engine. While running an errand I realized the brake peddle was loosing pressure while I sat at a stop light. The car stops fine, but once...

    Why does oil turn black so fast

    I have a 1800cc, dohc, turbo engine that I just rebuilt. Yea, GTX, or BP 26 with a vj20. After the rebuild, I noticed the oil turn black really fast. Black means carbon, right? This is conventional oil. Anything thoughts as to why.

    Maybe it's midlife

    The thread about Richard Hammond on my regular forum got me to thinking; we all gotta die sometime right? I really don't think crashing in a jet car is that bad of a way to go. It's better that giving it up to a heart attack or a drunk driver. If you could choose how you were going to cross over, ?

    Nonviolence doesn't pay.

    I have been thinking about nonviolence lately so I did a Google search and came up with this. I found it spiritually nourishing in a time of Holy Twinkies. http://www.hindu.com/mag/2005/07/31/stories/2005073100090100.htm It's a bit of a read with comments from and about Gandhi.

    Something to think about

    Something to think about. Downer though. The Budget Deficit Death Spiral by Robert Freeman Lenders talk about a debtors death spiral. It occurs when borrowers get so far in over their heads they begin borrowing money just to cover the interest payments on past borrowings. The borrowers have to...

    About clutches this time.

    I still have a clutch to buy for the engine swap project. From what Ive been able to gather, Act is good but, stiff as Bacardi. Spec is more user friendly but, is over rated as far as torque goes, i.e, starts slipping under continuous heavy usage. Exedy gets little if any attention so theyre not...
