    Run petrol through the I/C, then leave it on its end for a while. The I/C works as a giant OCC

    And if you're renewing the snoot boots - use stockers. Aftermarket ones split easier, causing boost leaks


    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs
