Just make sure the pistons, rods, and bore remove the weight you're adding with the super. Exhaust makes the torque go away though.

I have a Fram or something that's an absolute bitch to install compared to the HKS one I had previous. The HKS filter just needed some wiggling to get in, the Fram I had to take the inlet hose off.

First off ...... ya gotta install the new filter correctly. Try turning it 90 degrees clockwise and see if it fits better.

We can collect all the filter weights to see how much they will throw the steering off.

That got me thinking, how bad is it in the winter with the boots and the heavy jacket?! That's gotta be why it's such a horrible handling car in snow! It's not the summer tires it comes with in North America at all!
@humfrz close your eyes, take a deep breath in to the count of 10, let it out over 20. If it helps, imagine you're the wind, and ruffle some hair and fabric on that exhale.

And remember, if the air filter is in backwards, it doesn't let air in. And if it's not rotated right, it sends air to the cylinders in the wrong order, and the power loss is dramatic and obvious.

Now THAT reminds me of a back-in-CT-story. We had a neighbor lady that went to a local hypnotist to try to quit smoking. It worked for her!

So, I ask her who he was and she told me and I made an appointment.

She also said that he liked men more than women.

I thought ..... no problem ..... and I went. He reclined me in this chair and got awful close and started saying some sort of voodoo shit. Needless to say, I didn't go under his spell (that I remember at least) and therefore the session didn't make me quit smoking ......

So, no ..... no more of that deep breathing and counting stuff ..... my mind is rather fragile and I fear that I will drift off to somewhere .......and never come back .......

Exercising the lungs is key to long life. They say my grandpa found an extra ten years because he was in a harmonica band. The toll of WWII and years of smoking still had him on oxygen toward the end, but the insurance didn't even want to cover that because... he'd live too long?! Maybe this is why men die before their wives... who gets more lung exercise? In the stereotypical relationship, at any rate, the wind typically only blows in one direction.

Also, we like it when you bring back the memories these little stints dig up. I'm sure my grandpa had them, but never shared. Closest we got to a sense of things was when my sister was telling a story of an ex that had fleeced her (credit card company's poor security at fault, but she got left with the bill to the tune of $26k...) and he got up and had the phone in hand, and my grandma freaked out and convinced him to... not call someone... and return to the table, and another solid game of hand-and-foot. No idea who he was going to call, but... he was first gen American of Italian descent. So my imagination goes a little boggled crazy.

Carry on, after your nap.

Maybe you'll have a tale of fabric blowing in the breeze to your advantage next time 'round.

At the old job, we never interacted with end users, they were local IT's problem.

New place, we do everything from end user to back end system support... remotely. First time talking with an actual end user today. Monitoring software allows us to watch them as they do whatever they do for their company.

Now I didn't see any NSFW internet browsing going on (not yet) but wonder if they know we can see all...
