So you race it? Where at, and in what class?
If you don't race it... why care about racing qualities on the street?

There's a roundabout-as-chicane on my commute.

Honestly broseph, you have no clue what it will do to how the ride will feel until you do it. Your springs and dampers could be sized right now, or you could move it to an overdamped system, or an underdamped system. Your suspension could be any of those three states and you don't know what way you are moving the needle.
Unless you A) model it and run simulations (LOL) or B) actually throw some on there and go driving you're just bullshitting.
Thats fine, by the way, absolutely nothing wrong with bullshitting. Just pointing out that unless you have data (which I kinda doubt based off the fact that you aren't looking for a specific wheel) you can't really claim anything.
If you got it for $0 it's the greatest car ever built. Don't listen to these fucks and their Yaris hate. They're just expressing their envy. Let them have their time in the sun.
I like a car I don't have to worry about. A free "economy car" that runs is awesome.
Too funny - I was going to say I drove a Toyota Echo almost into the ground about 7 years ago, then realized that IS a Yaris. Sold it to some dude for $300 who just wanted it for driving on the lakes, when frozen. That's a thing around here.

Anyone know where I can find these type of thread inserts for not $10+ per insert? I can find carbon steel for around $5 per, but I'm looking for maybe half that if possible?

I clicked the link even though I’m the last person that could possibly provide useful info and it seemed like a generic link to their home page asking me to create an account before I could see actual content. So maybe it’s only showing pertinent info to people that have accounts, or do they already know I’m a dummy?

Didn't even notice that the external threads were standard. Most of the ones I have found are metric-metric. McMaster just had the oddball
Example: https://www.carrlane.com/product/th...ts-thinwall/key-inserts-thinwall-steel-metric
As for the SAE fastener, everything else on the head will be metric, so I don't want to try and have to go back and forth between them.

Main reason is that normal helicoils are shit for anything but a field repair and I don't need to worry about them falling into the the lifter galley on my motor.

Went driving with the girl yesterday
Had one minor emergency - I lost two bolts on the driveshaft, but it has 4, so I just moved the remaining ones to opposite corners, tightened them up, and got on with it. I could have sworn they were loctited, and I know they were appropriately torqued, but I guess now I get to put new hardware in all around.

It seems that someone has indeed figured it out.

What You Won’t Hear Or See In The News On The Automotive Chip Shortage
The automotive industry needs to design new circuit boards for newer chips and replace the antiques. They are resisting the investment, and they are lacking the “in-house” know-how.

There's so much bullshit in that article it clogged the internet pipes it tried to come into my computer on.It seems that someone has indeed figured it out.

It did, however, show why Tesla's wiring harnesses are so expensive. Running every electrical component back to the "SINGLEBOARDOMGSUPERIOR" computer takes a shitload of copper. Sane manufacturers jumped on the CANbus architecture a long time ago, so they only have enough wires to support the network transmission lines.
