i saw a blue s13 hatch with a side exhaust (two pipes or something) and it had a ‘v8 hood’ but stock rims and tires LOL so I doubt it had a v8 underneath, it actually said V8 on the side of the hood (huge camaro/89/90s mustang GT cobra style hood) ---

This is way off topic but I noticed andrew you mentioned a Kaaz 1.5 way. Am I the only one who didn’t know until yesterday that the diff oil needs to get changed on a clutch type diff (ie: Kaaz, Nismo, etc) every 8000 kilometers or less? Apparently Kaaz recommends 8000klm for street driving and 3-5k for track … and to think I almost bought a Kaaz when I did a group buy a while back… SCREW THAT ---

I don’t own a 1.5 kaaz yet, but even my VLSD, I use to change the oil at least once a season, sometimes twice. Andrew. ---

Of course Kaaz recomends you change the oil ever 8k… they also recomend that you only use their oil. Do you see a conflict here? ---

But still, having to change the diff oil 5 or 6 times per season or more for some people does not sound like a good time. I’m _way_ too lazy to be dealing with something like that 😃 ---

> [@a\_ahmed](#): > > with the ocassional startup to keep her from rotting ☹ Thats actually worse for it then letting it sit. As with my bike, I’d recommend filling the tank and putting in fuel stabilizer, driving it to get the stabilizer into the lines, then run it only if you need to move it.

Got some more work done. Cars back on 4 wheels after putting subframe bushings in, which was a big pain in the ass.
