2019-2022 Hyundai Veloster N Oil Change How-To

This is a how-to for the 2019-2022 (Gen 2) Hyundai Veloster N engine oil change. This is a very straightforward job, and I imagine it would be the same for non-N Velosters of this gen as well. My plan is to use Amsoil SSO 0W30 for the non racing season, from November – March, and…

Sequoia New Tires

My Michelin Defender LTX MS’s served me faithful 60,000 miles, of which a significant portion of it was spent towing. To be fair, it probably shouldn’t have seen the last 5,000 miles, but given I wasn’t going to see snow for a few months at that time, I decided to wait until Black Friday 2024.…

FP 71HTA, ETS Intake, Artec Exhaust Manifold

Lime Rock Park Proving Grounds Autox 6-1-24

I have not done one of these for quite some time, wow. I had to look back at some previous posts on how I usually formatted these. Some background: This is the 3rd time I’m attending this event, but in a way just my 2nd. After doing this event for the first time last year,…
