The main watering hole for the hobbyist community around these machines vanished from the internet a while back, taking the forums and info around porting software with it.. I gues…

I mean, it would be surprising. In what world does Hyundai want to build a multi billion dollar plant in a foreign country and subcontract to a 'sublegal operation' which still has…

Had a mobile mechanic unable to change the timing belt on our 10 y/o Volkswagen Golf because the balancer is now secured with a proprietary lock-ring instead of four hex bolts. He …
