Saw a real winner out here at the casino today. The license plate is spot on and if you cant read it the sticker on the back window says "Real Camber".

What's funny is that the freaking Scion **** boxes have torsion beam rear suspension. What that means is that the owner cut and welded the rear beam for camber... Oh yeah, the Miata wheels too.

https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-trouble-shooting-95/k-n-typhoon-possible-power-loss-questions-231173/
OK, I just got sponsored by K&N and i installed the K&N Typhoon i got and i think i lost power after 6k. I have a the stock exhaust manifold, RB Duel Resonated Delete pipe, and a Borla Cat-Back. But before the Typhoon i had the stock K&N Replacement filter, and had a nice smooth power feel. now i feel like i hit 6k and my car hits a 30mph head wind. also i kinda go def once i go WOT with a vigorous rattling sound under the hood. i haven't gotten to a dyno to check but im getting much more lb/m then stock. Just want to know if the intake is adding the 11hp gain and 7 ft/lb to the lower rpm range like the dyno graphs say or adding an increase at all. if anyone else has the same symptoms with a similar set up, or any ideas on it would be awesome. also i added a rotor shaped cut for the intake ducting and im seeing 10 to 15 degrees IAT over ambient air temp. i was seeing upwards of 30+ before so in racing days that will help but im not a fan of mods that cause a loss of power or toque. Thanks

From what I gather he is still using the VFAD, he just hacked it all up so I am assuming a filter is still on that end

Those fog lights are baller.

Bet he has no issues in flood waters...

Getting women, that's a whole other story.
