Sweet! I drove an Allroad for years. Loved the thing gave me 300k miles before I lost 2nd gear. 220k of them on a Malone tune with the usual Rs4 / S4 bolt ons and some APR goodies to handle the extra boost. My wife still has hers 2002 with only 65k on the clock. I love a good AWD Wagon! Use to dust newer tuned S4’s in the thing car seats in the back and everything total sleeper.

[screwloose45]

Haldex.

That's awesome, yeah they can be sleepers for sure

[cockerpunk]

finally got my m96 back into the car. just some practice for this weekends icecross (to insure i put it back together properly):





i like the last one even though its less dramatic cause it shows just how loaded up the rear is on a 911 when launching out of a corner. strange car the 911.

Wow that looks like a Blast! Is the ice racing more less or about the same wear and tear? Is it super expensive to get into?

[Carp]

i mean we'll take anyone with a safe car (or truck), who paid their money, and has a helmet.

its always cheap/easy to get into it, its often more expensive if you want to win.

The fun car.

[WORR13]

rhd?

[hot karl]

Indeedy. Brought it home from Japan.

I prefer it from a driver perspective. Strong hand on the wheel. Weak hand on the shifter. Plus Mazda never moved the parking brake handle so on the RHD cars the parking brake is on the passenger side which frees up some space.

RHD isn't the best on US roads. But manageable in a car this small.

Changing gears with the left hand is easy to get used to. The hardest thing to get used to is the turn signals. They're operated with the right hand and flipping it up is left and down is right. Most American folks when they want to signal a turn hit the wipers when they drive a RHD car. We called it the "oki wave". A buddy of mine came up with a great way of getting over that. Hold your right hand on the wheel and stick a finger out. Whichever way you turn the wheel you will bump the signal in the correct direction.

Although this was my daily for almost 2 years and now I daily a Corolla. Sometimes I hop in the Corolla and hit the wipers when I want to turn lol.

some good FPS video from the icecross last weekend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86706Fh4uNY

alan was wheelin' that shitbox!

Latest project: 1986 Goldwing GL1200 Interstate. Rescued it from a buddy's barn where it had sat over 6 years. This pic was taken after I stripped most of the painted plastic & polished it along with most of the chrome. Had to rebuild all 4 carbs, rebuild front forks, replace timing belts, clean the gas tank & some other odds & ends to get it rideable. Since this pic I've also replaced missing/damaged marker light covers, cut down the windshield.
Edit: that's not me in the pic but my daughter

My ride is actually becoming a ride, rather than a static display. First start, and running after several years, after a little wire smoke from last years attempt at starting.
Click for sound I think

[JeeperCreeper]

We have one at the shop, I dont fit in those. I have to imagine stepping on my left foot with my right foot to hit the brake without the throttle.

[moonweasel]

Yeah not a lot of room in the foot well, work boots are not an option for driving

[JeeperCreeper]

A Jeep in it's natural habitat, the shop.

[Carp]

Are you adding a snorkel?...😆

[JeeperCreeper]

No fun parts, I had to replace the oil cooler / filter housing because they are made of plastic from the factory. Any mechanic here knows the job, hell this was the second one I did this week.
