Enduro Crash - Video

Please, someone tell to this driver that this is Real Life, and not GTA, Need for Speed or other Arcade Game... Very unfair and horrible action, by the red Miata Driver... This kind of drivers, should have their racing license retired! He clearly take a look at his mirror before push the incoming driver to the wall!

NC - Throttle Body Cleaning

I remain astonished when i see so much dirt behind the NC throttle body, after 60000Km... Idle had become quite irregular when cold, so i decided to clean the throttle body. Surprise, now the idle is absolutely regular just the day after! That was strange, because idle always become unstable, on the days following a battery disconnect operation! Mah...
