Replaced a few things on the 1 series. Suspension (M3 control arms, M3 sway bar, shocks, and bump stops), front turbo oil return line (sucked), and rear diffuser. 20 psi in a small car is fun.

I bet that thing moves. How do you like the M3 part swap. Looks like it’s sitting nicely on those big wheels. -
I’m very happy now the it’s been aligned. It was one of those instances where upgrading the suspension was the same price as replacing with stock parts. The stock bushings had worn out so went ahead with something that added a little camber.
With the thicker sway bar, solid bushings, and new shocks it feels a bit firmer up front. Feels more supportive and planted when turning. I’ve never taken it to the track but may have to soon.

Well, I finally got into something other than the WRX... big enough to fit the family, and still quick enough to make the wife complain (at least from 0-30mph)
Is it exciting? Hell no, I nearly fell asleep the first time I drove it. Not hyperbole... that actually happened.
Is it fuel efficient, comfortable, and packed full of quality of life features? You bet... I really dig the interior on the new Hyundai's.
The warranty on these cars is insanely good. The powertrain warranty is 150k miles (100k MFR + 50k from the dealer). And, hilariously, it seems their AWD has surpassed the "trail rated" Jeep Compass.
...and I still have the WRX. For a little while at least.Paintball Selection and Storage - How to make your niche paintball part idea.

My dad bought one of those a couple years ago and I was blown away how nice it was for the price. Fully loaded with all the tech and toys and they drive great. -
That looks sweet!
My wife has been hounding me for something with 3rd row so she can move other people’s kids around. So we been shopping around the Hyundai have come a long way. -
Thanks, guys! It has been great driving it around. Chuck E Ducky my wife was in the same boat last year after her Buick shit the bed. We needed a 3rd row, sliding doors, and AWD - which narrowed the options down to just the Toyota Sienna. I've become a huge fan of it. I kept borrowing it for trips to Lowes so that factored into me up-sizing to an SUV.

Finally got my NSX up and running properly. I been troubleshooting it for a while pulling my hair out trying to source a high RPM misfire that pulls timing and put it into limp mode. Completely random after it warms up. Had me nervous driving it so it’s been sitting. Replaced some relays that can cause odd random issues and it started misfiring all the time vs random misfire. Figured I had a dead coil so I replaced all 6. Finally got the parts I needed in from japan after some new plugs and coils its running like a good Honda again. $1200 for 6 coils but happy to have it running proper again. I got a bunch of non-compliance parts and hardened billet motor mounts. Still need to do the taillight gaskets. Might put some KW3 coilovers in it when I do the new steering rack but I got to find a quality alignment shop to get its corner balanced. But for now it’s drivable.Comment

I probably could get it into AG but I camp out of my Q5 and I got a bunch of gear for our northern members and my tent + gear won’t fit in the trunk ( there’s an engine there) it basically will hold one golf bag. A small one lol Dave at OSG said he would let me park up front in the employee lot (he wants to see it) but it’s a few miles on dirt roads and she is way too low for those roads. I want to drive it a bit before I take it on a 4.5hr trip it sat all of last year.
