End of year Porsche Club race - PCA AX8
This was the last autocross event of the year for the Oregon Region's Porsche club of America club.
It started out super foggy but that quickly blew away to a beautify day out racing the Audi RS5. Today's race i came in 8th overall in the RAW and 2nd in my class. That leaves me in 1st place for the season standings in All Wheel Drive Stock class.
Its been another great year racing with the Porsche club and I look forward to next year.

Porsche Club Autocross 7, Maintaining my season points lead
Просмотров 14014 дней назад
This was the second to last Oregon Porsche Club event of the year and it was a rather routine event until a Corvette C8 Z06 crashed into a concrete barrier. I'm glad that no one was hurt and this is a good reminder to keep up your situational awareness when you are at a car event. Cars can be fixed and replaced much easier than a person. My driving wasn't as consistent as it normally is. My fir...
No more tire shops - MayFlower 988 tire machine and 680 wheel balancer introduction
Просмотров 44321 день назад
After being told by my tire shop of 21 years that they would not mount my race tires due to their wear past the wear bars. I decided to just make the jump to owning my own tire changer and balancer. After reading a few reviews I settled on MayFlower. Ive changed 4 tires so far and its worked fairly well. This video is meant to be just an introduction to the devices and I will create more videos...

Today I am continuing project killer goddess. Prepping my C5 Z06 Corvette for her new LS3 stroker power plant. In this video I show how i designed and fabricated a mount in the trunk for massive 4 gal Aviaid oil tank and breather tank for my dry sump system.

C5 Corvette Rear Tub Cutout - Making it easier to do maintenance
Просмотров 286Месяц назад
If you have ever had the pleasure of removing a C5's torque tub, rear sub frame, or transmission you know just how much work it is. By removing the rear tub you can much more easily slide the rear sub frame straight back or even work on the rear differential without moving it from the car. In this video I cut out the rear tub and make preparations for my new rear mounted dry sump tank. - 1986 V...
Finally Making Progress - Mid Season Corvette Update

After blowing up the engine in my Z06 Corvette near the end of last season, I haven't made much progress until now. Since the engine failure I have installed a carbon fiber drive shaft, removed allot more weight, and made several orders to get the dry sump system installed as well as the next large pile of things needed for the LS3 stroker. - 1986 VW GTI - 2001 Chevy C5 Corvette Z06 Both cars a...
Checking out the Toyota Tacoma Tonneau cover

When we bought our 2024 TRD Offroad Tacoma we ordered it with a tri-fold Tonneau cover. Little did we know our dealer would mess up our order and our Toyota Tonneau cover, first a soft cover showed up and then after about 2 months the hard Tonneau cover would to be installed. Also it turns out that with a long bed Tacoma, its not a tri-fold. Ill show you around the Tonneau cover in this video s...
Racing my Audi because my race cars are all broken

If you have been following along you know that my Corvette and my wife GTI are both in states of disrepair. So to stay in the points race for the season I up classed my Audi into the XU class and raced it with WMC today and Evergreen Air and Space museum for their Autocross #6 event. I was only worried about my tires so I took it easy on the car and made some 8/10 effort runs. I still came in 1...
Another great autocross with the Porsche club AX6

The day started out with a few drops on the windshield but unlike the last event, it didn't turn into a torrential downpour with thunder and lightning. I currently sit in 1st in the All Wheel drive stock class but today i was 3rd. But i was super close to a car with considerably less weight so I feel great about the outcome. Also my first run was very close to my fastest so my practicing for na...

Unexpected thunder and lightning at ORPCA autocross #5

What is a summer autocross without crazy weather? Weather was beautiful when we arrived but soon degraded to thunder, lightning and down pouring rain. I guess i got lucky because i got to run in the afternoon session and our group had dry and warm conditions as if we never received any rain. I always say i'm consistent but ill let the times from this event show just how close i can get. Not cou...
Ceramic Window Tint for the 2024 Tacoma TRD - Needed for new trucks
Просмотров 6513 месяца назад
The first thing I do with any new vehicle is tint the windows and if you have never experienced ceramic tint, you are missing out. Not only does ceramic tint lower the heat, it protects your skin, it prolongs the lift of the dash and all interior components. No more cracked dash or faded materials. My local tint shop switched to using Stek brand tint. Its been 2 weeks with the STEK NEXseries Ce...

Removing the Badges and Stickers from my 2024 Tacoma
Просмотров 1,8 тыс.3 месяца назад
The first thing I like to do when buying a new vehicle is debadge it. Its day 1 of ownership of this 2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD Offroad and its time to start debadging it. Removing the decals is very easy to do when the vehicle is new and gets harder as time goes on. I didn't end up needing the wax wheel at all, just alittle time with the heat gun and gentle prying was all that was needed.

Mk2 VW GTI Delrin control arm bushings from Lella autosports
Congratulations!
Thanks
asssist arm is on wrong
Thanks, I plan on moving it before I mount my next set of tires.
Most likely bad injectors. The spray pattern is likely poor, contributing to the hard starting.
Good idea. We are looking for a good shop locally that can work on it.
Rushed out content
I'm interested to see how the balancer works!
Me too. :) I have yet to balance a tire yet. Apparently, there are no real instructions on how to calibrate it.
They work awesome ive had these two machines for a very long time. love them
Asmr at peak 1:32
Regarding Polar Moment of Inertia: I think since you have a front mounted engine car, the positioning of your oil reservoir is going to move your center of gravity closer to the center of the car which should help with understeer. I think there could be some issues if you don't fill the oil reservoir all the way as the oil moves around. One way you could reduce the amount of oil you would need to carry is by putting something light in the reservoir to take up space. That something needs to be able to be inserted through the top lid but not block any of the other ports.
J-B Weld FTW!
this video is so relaxing ❤
3:04 amazing sound
That's the best
@@oisforoffroad true asmr
Was fun watching that thing skoot around!!
I think half of the views will be from my side 😂
エンジンかけて暖房をつけてからの方が 氷が取れやすかったりするかな?
whats the process of ordering from toyota?
Keep your polar moment of inertial as low as possible. IOW, mount your oil tank as far forward as possible in the trunk area.
I wish I had this comment before I started fabing up the mount. I didn't even think about this. Thanks for the idea. I'll think about how I can modify things.
@@oisforoffroad For a drag car as far back as possible would be the way to go for weight transfer. You want your Vette to change directions quickly. Low moment of inertia is the goal.
@2manyturbos Great point. I totally should have been thinking about that. This will be the first of maybe many little mistakes I'm going to make, but I'm happy to be learning while making progress.
I'll be your weight distribution
Going big! Nice job man, can't wait to see it up and running from a guy with the same car on the lift for 3 years lol.
Thanks, Most definitely going big. I only hope I don't break something putting together this engine. I look forward to Shake and Bake hitting the road.
This was already a mean car, excited to see it come back!
I've got allot of learning to get it back together but I'm working on it.
Heck yeah, awesome to see progress!
Thanks. It's been a rough few months but I'm 3 days into working on the car and really making progress.
excited for future off road video!
Me too.
Good job wifey! She was fast last weekend
You could get yourself some tape to mark the top of the wheel. That might be a good quick visual for wheel position
Good idea. I don't know if I'd see it when whiping the wheel back and forth. But maybe id feel it.
Love seeing you race and D as well 🎉.
!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣. Ford , The problem is circled on the front , Steering wheel and the rear 🤣
Time for some new glow plugs or block heaters!
Thanks, Glow plugs were since replaced. It's better but still randomly does this. Block heater pulls amps and warms the black but maybe.
Buy the car!
Reviewing the logistics of that
Make the bad decision and buy it! 😂
Funny thing is my wife really wants to buy it even more than me, but she just bought the brand new Tacoma so it's a bad time to spend that much money.
You screwed up the dialogue 10 words in and couldn’t be bothered to start over? No thanks
I'll make it so dark for you......
SHOW ME YOUR WELDS!!!
My grinder says you're too late.
Doing a evaporator core on a 2008 vette . Getting everything un screwed wasn't that bad . Getting the HVAC box out will make you crazy . Shoved in a tight hole . Takes some spray silicone and a few cigarettes .
Great video bro! Can I find you on IG?
@oisforoffroad. I'm not as active as I should be though.
@@oisforoffroad Thank you!
Don’t know if I should do this on my 2024 Toyota Tacoma trd pro. We’ll see……..
I'd go for it. You can always put the emblems back on with new 3m tape and order new stickers. But it will look better and more unique without them.
@@oisforoffroad great advice and in the meantime, I’ll keep the badging just in case when the truck has mechanical problems then I’ll glue them back on and hawk it off to the next buyer/owner. 👍🏻👌🏻
@deantrainr Good plan. I always keep everything from a new truck. I have a storage tote for each of my vehicles with all their stock parts in them including the window stickers so I can literally put the vehicle back to the day I bought it.
@@oisforoffroad yes, myself as well. Not planning on keeping this new disposable/throwaway Tacoma for too long anyway; especially when the engine, transmission, and/or the hybrid system tanks out on me.
Work gave me a 2022 Toyota Highlander hybrid. That was the most unsafe and horrible vehicle I'd ever had the displeasure of using. That is why our Tacoma is not the hybrid version. We have an extended warranty so we are good for years.
I would take them badges off so when it breaks down its less telling.
So I should put Ford badges on it then ? :)
@@oisforoffroad you could at least Ford is replacing them engines with crate engines. Toyota on the other hand is asking 28k for engine repair and its not even replacing the entire engine.
You will love your tacoma i have 2024 Trd off-road with 8,500 miles on it now not a bit of trouble with it transmission is so smooth i do a lot of towing with it best tacoma i have ever had
Awesome, I have 112 miles on mine now. Just got all the windows tinted and it's great. Haven't towed yet but looking forward to it.
I use 25 lbs fishing line. Works great and no issues.
That's a great idea, I should have used that.
how is your transmission doing?
The truck has a whole 103 miles on it, doing fine.
@@oisforoffroad Sweet i hope you dont have issues im hearing more and more about trucks under 2k miles having issues GL!!!!!
Thanks. Whatever happens I'll have videos about it.
@@oisforoffroad Cant wait to see!
I have 3000 miles and my transmission shifts great.
That one is a unicorn. It’s got a six foot bed and the upgrade package, but they didn’t load it up with the bigger screen and the moon roof.
It has a sun roof and We specifically ordered it with the small screen. The large screen gets in the way and there isn't anything really important on it.
@@oisforoffroad oh ok. I’ve seen a lot of off-roads with the upgrade package and so much extra that you might as well have the premium package
mine is a long bed and the big screen. they are pretty easy to find. got one on anohter tab just under 43k. i might wait til the 25's come out idk. they are so expensive.
@jameskocks4734 I thought the 25's only come with the hybrid engine setup? That's why we got the 24 and not the pro or limited. Yes, they are expensive.
I love watching you get it hot then get it off
Beat the Crap out of that Thing !
Congratz, I really hope this trucks does well and lasts for you. I chose the 24 Frontier Pro4x over this because of the v6 but I do hope these engines do well. I might one day switch over 😂
Good choice. If we didn't need a long bed it would have changed our decision.
A Toyota engineer stated that the engine was designed and engineered to commercial duty truck standards.
You have something growing on your chin
It grows more each time I buy a vehicle.
The new truck model looks badass. I just can’t bring myself to buy it with the 4cyl and the price itself.
Agreed. This is better than the hybrid engine in the TRD pro and limiteds but it would be allot better with a v6. Truck prices are out of hand.
Drop that price 15k and put a good motor in it and your rockin
I aagree
There is a good motor in it. The best that they ever put in a tacoma. They tested this motor 3 years ago and put 350,000 km on it with no problems in the desert they drove it hard for 3years . That wy they put it in production for the 2024 tacoma. Valve had hardly to carbon on them.
My 91 Toyota pickup had been abused for years and it still did awesome. The transmission let it down after 285k miles of hard-core offloading.
Extended warranty?
Yep. We get one on every new vehicle.
Enjoy that overheating transmission!
That's what warranties are for. We bought this partially so my wife can tow her own race car on my open trailer. It will be right at the weight limit so if anyone is going to melt a trans, it will be us. Ill make a video.
You poor bugger! Let us know in 3 months with another video when you bring it back to Toyota under the Lemon Law. Lol
I hope that doesn't happen but you never know. That is one of the risks of buying a new vehicle.
I have the same ice cap white only in short bed 2024 tacoma TRD off-road you will love it they have so much torque 317 foot pounds of torque at only 1,700 rpms I've had my for over 2 months now your wife will love it
Thanks. She really likes it so far. Both of us were shocked that we liked it in white, we both normally don't like white vehicles but we didnt like the dark colors and Orange wasn't available. We shocked ourselves with how good it looks in white. Its also a good color to Plasti dip or wrap to change later. Enjoy your Tacoma !
@oisforoffroad yes this is my first color in white l never have had a car or pickup in white before but it was the only color they had in stock at that time but I don't mind the color it's growing I me now
IMO the frontier is a far better value for money. But idk if you can get the bed or whatever.
I looked at the Frontier and it was cheaper but we didn't like the way it looked and we needed a long bed. The real vehicle we wanted was a Porsche Macan GTS but didn't want a $90+k work vehicle so the $50k Tacoma was cheap by comparison.
@@oisforoffroad Nice. I had a 3rd gen trd off road 4x4 and sold it after a year. What a horrible vehicle that was.
