Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, I promised my brother I would never own a Scion back in like 2005 when my Suby made 346whp & he was driving a riced out tC. -_-

What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

Or drive in this case.

I detest the latest Acura family look; especially from the rear.

Absolutely nothing... but society creates its own views/stereotypes/etc. It's like building a master piece and naming it something terribly derrogative & offensive, yes it maybe one of the greatest things ever made but all because of a name or even previous reputation people aren't going to buy it in quantities it should. That's society.

But all in all, think you took my post a little too serious/literal... its supposed to be humorous

I felt the same way about a jalapeño bagel the other day. I almost broke down and used baby wipes.

What made you think I took your other post too seriously? Quoting and awful play about two horny teenagers?

Maybe I'm just in a phase at the moment but people who are incompetent are starting to really annoy me. And guys at the gym who try to 1up me when lifting weights. And when women are present it just exacerbates the situation.

I think it's because I've been in a dry spell for a couple of weeks due to my current job. Shit, my ass needs to get laid.

Okay yesterday I took a video of the grinding sound that my car makes when it's lugging, but you pretty much cannot hear it at all...I'm not even going to bother posting it to Spyderchat because the guys there are going to hear my 2300rpm shift and scream "YOU ARE LUGGING THE ENGINE" and "GROW A PAIR OF BALLS, THIS ENGINE IS MEANT TO REV" (yea that explains the 6700rpm rev limit, toothpick rods, and 91.5mm stroke right?)

It's uploading to Youtube, will be up in a few minutes.

However, the good news is that this morning I pulled the PCV hose and had my engine drink a few cups of water (people on bobistheoilguy seem to think this is the best method?). Misfired and spouted tons of smoke for a while, but after it stopped misfiring I took it for a little drive...lo and behold, the noise is gone! The car shakes if I intentionally lug it, as it should, but no more noise. It was still spewing smoke when I pulled into the driveway, so it's probably still clearing some stuff out.

So happy to have a noise free car now ECU still can't make up its mind about idle rpm but oh well, not a big deal.

WOW the cluster looks really red on camera. It's actually orange. But nevertheless, red=badass. Also behold the beautiful rev matched downshift at the end.

That 'whirrr' kind of grinding sound?

Don't know what 'whirrr' means. In the video I said something like "Okay so I'm going to put it in 5th even though the speed is really low, and just show you...there it is...Okay I'll do it at the next stop...or maybe now [press on gas, sound commences once more]"

Yeah, same thing I think. 00:22, 00:38, 00:54.

Most of my room stuff is packed... Now for bathroom & kitchen stuff to pack...

I'd help you if I was closer, Ichitaka. I'm kind of a pro-mover since I've moved so many times and helped other people move.
