Is Your Car Coughing? Bluechem Australia's Throttle Body Cleaner Can Be the Cure

Imagine cruising down the open road, only to be met with a sputter and cough from your car. Rough idling, hesitation on acceleration, and even increased fuel consumption can all point to a clogged culprit: the throttle body. Here at Bluechem Australia, we understand the frustration of a sluggish engine. That's why we offer a powerful solution - our high-performance Throttle Body Cleaner.

Understanding the Throttle Body and Its Importance

The throttle body plays a vital role in your car's engine. Think of it as the air intake control center. It regulates the amount of air entering the engine, essentially acting like the gas pedal you press. The more air that flows in, the more power the engine produces. However, this crucial component can become a victim of its own success.

The Enemy Within: How Throttle Bodies Get Dirty

Over time, the throttle body gets exposed to a constant stream of air, which carries not only oxygen but also unwanted contaminants. These can include:

Dirt: Road dust and other airborne particles can build up on the throttle body and its components.

Carbon Deposits: Incomplete combustion within the engine leaves behind carbon deposits, further restricting airflow.

Oil Varnish: Engine oil vapors can condense and form a sticky varnish on the throttle body, hindering smooth operation.

The Consequences of a Clogged Throttle Body:

When dirt, carbon, and oil build up on the throttle body, it can lead to a range of issues:

Rough Idling: A dirty throttle body disrupts the smooth flow of air, causing the engine to idle unevenly.

Acceleration Hesitation: Restricted airflow can cause a delay in engine response when you press the gas pedal, resulting in a jerky driving experience.

Loss of Power: If the throttle body is clogged, the engine struggles to breathe, leading to a noticeable decrease in power output.

Increased Fuel Consumption: A dirty throttle body can disrupt the optimal air-fuel mixture, forcing the engine to work harder and burn more fuel for the same performance.

Bluechem Australia's Throttle Body Cleaner: The Effective Solution

Our Throttle Body Cleaner is a specially formulated weapon against these performance-robbing contaminants. Here's why it stands out:

Powerful Cleaning Formula: This potent cleaner effectively removes dirt, carbon deposits, gum, and other contaminants, restoring smooth operation of the throttle body.

Fast and Easy Application: The convenient spray format allows for a quick and effortless cleaning process, getting you back on the road faster.

Safe for Various Materials: Our formula is safe to use on a variety of throttle body materials, including aluminium and plastic, giving you peace of mind.

Restores Engine Performance: By removing built-up grime, our Throttle Body Cleaner helps optimize engine performance, leading to smoother idling and improved acceleration.

Boosts Fuel Efficiency: A clean throttle body allows for a more precise air-fuel mixture, resulting in better fuel economy and potentially lower fuel costs.

Cleaning Your Throttle Body: A DIY Guide

While it's always recommended to consult your car's manual before starting any cleaning procedures, here's a general guide on how to use Bluechem Australia's Throttle Body Cleaner:

Safety First! Allow the engine to cool completely before working on the throttle body.

Locate the Throttle Body: Identify the throttle body, typically found near the air intake hose on the engine.

Disconnect the Air Intake Hose: Secure the hose away from the cleaning area to prevent cleaner contamination.

Follow the Instructions: Carefully read the specific instructions on the Throttle Body Cleaner packaging.

Target Cleaning: Spray the cleaner onto the inside of the throttle body, avoiding the butterfly valve itself.

Wipe Away Debris: Use a clean, lint-free cloth to remove loosened dirt and debris.

Reconnect the Hose: Ensure a secure fit on the air intake hose before restarting the engine.

Let it Idle: Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes. You may notice a slight increase in RPM as the cleaner works its magic.

Preventative Maintenance for a Healthy Engine

Cleaning your throttle body periodically can help prevent issues and maintain optimal engine performance. Bluechem Australia recommends cleaning your throttle body every 12 months or 20,000 kilometres, or more frequently based on your driving habits and the severity of symptoms you experience.

Sea Cows and Koalas

Oscar Piastri x Reader

Summary: Oscar just wants to impress his girlfriend, but those stupid sea cows keep stealing your attention

The South Florida sun beats down mercilessly as Logan’s sleek speedboat cuts through the turquoise waters of Biscayne Bay. Oscar leans back, soaking in the warmth and salty sea breeze while fiddling with the wakeboard bindings. Out of the corner of his eye, he catches you gazing wistfully over the side of the boat, peering into the depths.

“Looking for something, babe?” Oscar asks with an amused grin.

You turn towards him, eyes lit up with anticipation. “Manatees! I read they’re really common around here.”

Logan chuckles from the driver’s seat. “Good luck spotting one. Those sea potatoes are sneaky.”

“Sea potatoes?” Oscar snorts. “Is that an American thing?”

“What can I say? They’re fuzzy and they float.” Logan winks at you. “Like your man’s ego after a few drinks.”

“Hey!” Oscar reaches over to playfully shove Logan’s shoulder. “I’ll show you who’s all fluff out there.”

With a devilish smirk, he secures the final binding and stands tall, wakeboard in hand. Logan revs the engine, kicking up a spray of saltwater that has you giggling. Oscar shoots you a roguish wink before plunging into the azure waves.

Moments later, the corded rope connecting Oscar to the boat grows taut. He rockets out of the water, carving through the air with effortless grace. A wide grin spreads across his face as the wind whips through his hair.

“Woohoo!” Oscar hollers, riding the wakes with the confidence of a seasoned pro. He slices through the swell, spraying diamond showers that glisten in the sunlight.

You watch in awe, your face bright with adoration. But then something in the water catches your eye — a gray shape moving just below the surface. You gasp, scrambling to the edge of the boat and nearly tumbling overboard in your excitement.

“Manatee! I see one!”

Oscar’s brow furrows in confusion at your sudden outburst. His distraction costs him, and with a yelp he loses his edge, slamming into the unforgiving surface in an unceremonious belly flop.

Logan cackles, easing back on the throttle as Oscar bobs up, sputtering saltwater and treading water in a daze. “Smooth moves, Pretty Boy!”

Your face falls as the manatee disappears into the depths once more. “Oh no, I missed it!”

Oscar doggie paddles over to the boat, his ego more bruised than his body. “You just had to get distracted, didn’t you?” He grumbles, reaching up with pleading eyes. “A little help here?”

You bite your lip, trying to stifle a giggle as you grab his outstretched hand and haul him aboard with a grunt. Oscar flops down beside you, leaving a puddle on the immaculate deck. Water streams from his hair and board shorts as he shoots you a petulant glare.

“Really? Sea cows over me?”

You can’t help but laugh at his childish pout. “Oh, don’t be such a baby! You were amazing out there.”

“Was I?” An impish grin plays across Oscar’s lips as he inches closer, leaving a trail of water in his wake. “Prove it.”

With a mischievous glint in his eye, he snakes an arm around your waist and pulls you into a sopping wet embrace. You squeal in surprise as the cold lake water seeps into your clothes.

“Oscar! You’re getting me all wet!”

“That’s the idea,” he murmurs, drinking in your flushed features.

Logan shakes his head in amusement. “Get a room, you two.”

Oscar is only too happy to oblige, capturing your lips in a searing kiss that steams up the air around you. His fingers tangle in your damp hair as the passionate embrace deepens, banishing all thought of manatees or wakeboarding from your mind.

At least until a crashing wave erupts nearby, dousing you both in a shock of frigid saltwater. You yelp, breaking the kiss with a sputter while Oscar sits back with a sheepish grin.

Logan cackles from the helm. “Easy, lovebirds! There’s no lifeguard on duty.”

You shoot the American a playful glare, then turn back to your breathless boyfriend. Tenderly, you brush a stray lock of dripping hair from his brow, cradling his chiseled jaw in your palm.

“You know, as fun as watching you show off is ...” You lean in until your lips brush tantalizingly against the sensitive skin just below his ear. “I prefer my Oscar humble and pliant.”

A visible shiver races down Oscar’s spine as your breath ghosts over him. He swallows hard, brown eyes darkening with unspoken desire. “Your wish is my command.”

You can’t help but smirk at how easily he surrenders to your whims. With a soft giggle, you trail a line of feather-light kisses along the sharp line of his jaw, relishing the way his breath catches in his throat.

Logan lets out an obnoxious whistle. “Alright, alright! Keep it PG over there!”

Reluctantly, you pull away, leaving Oscar dazed and slightly flushed. He watches you with a wistful smile as you return your gaze to the gently lapping waves, ever vigilant for signs of the elusive sea cows.

The hot sun soon dries the lingering drops clinging to Oscar’s reddening skin. He leans back with a contented sigh, idly toying with the wakeboarding rope while studying your rapt profile. The salty ocean breeze tousles your hair in an enchanting dance that has his chest swelling with unabashed adoration.

How did he ever get so lucky?

Oscar isn’t sure how long he sits there mesmerized before Logan’s laughter shatters the peaceful reverie.

“Hate to break it to you, man, but I think your girl likes manatees more than you!” Logan teases, slapping the throttle with a cheeky grin.

Oscar blinks, bemused, until he follows Logan’s gaze to you — still transfixed on the glassy waters below. A fond smile tugs at the corner of his lips. Of course you would fall under the spell of such gentle, unassuming creatures. His beautiful weirdo.

With a dramatic huff, Oscar flops down beside you, draping his head in your lap and batting his lashes up at you imploringly.

“I’m sorry, what was that?” He asks in an exaggerated sulk. “When did sea potatoes become more interesting than me?”

You giggle at his playful antics, giving his chiseled jaw an affectionate scratch. “Don’t worry, buttercup. There’s enough of me to go around.”

Oscar arches a skeptical brow. “Is that so?”

Without warning, he rolls over and nuzzles his face into your stomach, peppering your cotton shirt with sloppy, pouty kisses. You can’t stifle your laughter as his ticklish stubble assaults your sensitive skin.

“Oscar! St-stop it!” You squirm and swat at him halfheartedly, breathless with mirth. “We have company!”

Logan shoots you a roguish wink from behind the steering wheel. “Don’t mind me, love birds. Just pretend I’m not here.”

Oscar grins wickedly, ignoring Logan as he continues his relentless assault, until finally you cry for mercy between gasping peals of laughter.

“Okay, okay! You win!” Tenderly, you cup Oscar’s face in your hands and guide him up until your noses are brushing. “You’ve got my full, undivided attention. Happy now, Mr. Needy?”

“Getting there,” Oscar murmurs, drinking in your flushed, breathless features with unfiltered longing. He leans in until your foreheads are touching, savoring your intoxicating closeness. “All I need is one more thing ...”

You regard him with an arched brow, unable to resist playing along. “Oh? And what’s that?”

Rather than answering directly, Oscar closes the scant distance between you, claiming your lips in a searing, all-consuming kiss. You melt against him with a contented sigh, cradling the back of his neck as you lose yourself in the embrace.

Logan whistles again from the helm. “Not gonna lie, I’m a little jealous over here!”

Reluctantly, you break away with a breathless giggle, nuzzling your flushed cheek against Oscar’s. “Okay, okay. I think you’ve successfully reminded me who has my heart.”

A smug grin tugs at Oscar’s lips. “And don’t you forget it.”

He punctuates the smug remark with another lingering peck. But just as he’s withdrawing, you catch a fleeting glimpse of movement beneath the waves — a sleek gray shape growing closer and closer.

You gasp in delight, headbutting Oscar as you scramble upright. “There! Did you see that!”

Oscar blinks owlishly, rubbing the spot on his forehead where you clocked him. “I … what?”

“A manatee!” You exclaim, bouncing excitedly on the cushioned deck. “It was right there! Oh, they’re even more adorable than I imagined!”

You shoot Oscar your most imploring puppy dog eyes, bottom lip protruding in an irresistible pout. “Can we … get one?”

Oscar’s brows climb toward his hairline. “Get one? As in … you want to adopt a manatee?”

You nod fervently. “Why not? They’re the sweetest things!”

A chuckle rumbles up from Oscar’s chest as he regards you with a blend of adoration and bewilderment. Leave it to you to fall head-over-heels for a three-ton marine mammal.

“And just where do you propose we keep this … pet manatee?” He asks, struggling to keep a straight face.

You open your mouth, then falter, momentarily stumped. A crease forms between your brows as you ponder the dilemma. After a beat, your eyes light up with your stroke of genius.

“The bathtub!”

Oscar barks out a laugh, loud and uninhibited. “The bathtub? Seriously?”

You level him with a deadpan stare, completely serious. “What? We have a big tub.”

Shaking his head in disbelief, Oscar pulls you into a fond embrace, lips brushing your forehead in a gentle kiss. “You’re certifiable, you know that?”

A contented hum rumbles in your throat as you snuggle deeper into the circle of his arms. “Maybe. But you love me for it.”

“That I do,” Oscar murmurs, resting his cheek on top of your head as the sun begins its descent over Miami’s shimmering coastline. “That I do.”

[korrasamibottles]

any hints you’d be willing to drop on this jet ski wip👀

Umm huh hmm mmmmmuuhhh how about a little excerpt??

“That was fast,” Korra mutters, quiet, as if talking to herself. She turns toward Asami. “I guess you'll be heading back then?” Asami should be heading back. She really, really should. But– “I think I still owe you a ride.” Korra swipes a hand through her hair, and the shining dark strands feather back down to frame the dusky rose blush blooming across her cheeks. “Well I'd hate to make a liar out of you,” she says. “You're not too busy?” Asami thinks about the mountain of expense reports wating for her back in her sweltering office, about another night spent doing math–and not the fun kind–until her eyes glaze over and she falls asleep at her desk without eating, and she briefly entertains the idea of walking into the sea right here and now. Instead she swings a leg over the side of the jet ski and checks the kill switch, feels the corner of her mouth twitch up into a smile and beckons Korra over with a quick jerk of her head. “Hop on.” A wide grin splits Korra's face, and Asami suppresses a full-body shiver when she feels Korra settle in behind her and rest her hands low on her hips. “You're not worried about the weather?” Korra's breath ghosts across the shell of Asami's ear, raises little pinpricks of heat across the flushed skin of her neck, and Asami knows she should be worried, sees the unspent fury in those roiling, purple-gray skies, but something about being around Korra makes her feel a little bit giddy, a little bit reckless. Like maybe the version of Asami who used to steal her dad's favorite car to go racing at night while Ishi pretended not to notice wasn't actually dead, just buried. She reaches out to adjust the mirrors and flashes Korra a smile when she catches her bright blue eyes in the reflection. “I think we can handle it,” she says, then she kicks the engine into gear and squeezes the throttle back nearly as far as it will go, and with a spray of saltwater and a rush of air they leave the shore behind.

OMG IT TURNS OUT I CAN ACTUALLY BE AT THE SLEEPOVER AND I'M SO EXCITED

I'm sooooo sorry if you've received this request before I'm not sure if it went through because my tumblr was a bit fucked up but it seems to be working now!!!!

A blurb where Jake and the reader lose their virginities to each other would mean EVERYTHING to me I have had the worst week 😂😭😭😭 but so happy to actually be at the sleepover!!!

lying in the twin bed in Jake's room, panting as you blink up at the ceiling in amazement, you swallow hard. there's a Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle taped to the ceiling and Lucy Liu is watching you try and compose yourself.

god, if you didn't love Jake as much as you do, you'd hate to be staring up at this poster right now. it all feels so boyish--like finding a porn magazine tucked under his mattress or a peculiarly stiff sock. but you know that he keeps the poster on the ceiling because he genuinely loved the movie--dragged you to it four times--and likes to say, "good morning, angels." when he wakes up, much to his roommates annoyance.

if you went back in time and told your pre-teen self that you'd lose your virginity in a stuffy dorm room in the middle of Christmas break, tangled in Crate and Barrel sheets, beneath a Charlie's Angels poster, you think that the younger version of yourself would pepper spray you.

here you are, though.

you're both still coming down, skin slick with sweat, bodies still prickled with want. you're lying mostly on top of Jake's warm body and he's absently tickling his fingers up your arm, a grin eating his face.

"so..." you breathe, glancing up at him. his eyes gleam as he looks down at you. "that's sex, huh?"

"sure is," he says before pursing his lips. "was, I guess."

nodding, you return to staring up at the poster. he's watching you, though, your warm body weighing him down to the mattress perfectly.

"are the reviews in yet?" you ask, yawning.

"we literally saw it four times," Jake says, nose wrinkled and eyebrows furrowed. "I'd hope the reviews are in-!"

but then you're scoffing and looking back at him with a grin.

"I meant the sex, you dummy!"

"oh," Jake says, cheeks a touch pinker than before. "uh...you go first."

Jake's only saying this because he's afraid of giving his honest review--which is dropping to his knees and bowing down to you.

"it was good," you tell him, brows raised. you're not lying--it was good. a bit uncomfortable for a few minutes, but enjoyable. sweet. "okay, now you."

"I raise your good and give you impeccable," Jake says, even including jazz hands. "like, mind-blowing."

humming, you nod.

"it was pretty mind-blowing," you agree, chewing on your bottom lip. "the most mind-blowing three minutes of my life."

Jake scoffs, offended. he sits up, points an accusatory finger at you, and dodges your pinchers when you go for his flushed cheek.

"hey!" he complains. "it was three and a half and you know it!"

[notf1obsessed]

I’m going to start posting my fic on here so here’s the first chapter! It’s a CharlesxCarlos f1 fanfic about them fake dating so here it is!

Chapter 1: Bahrain

Adrenaline courses through Charles' veins as he speeds down the straight. His hands held a firm grip on the steering wheel, as if it would run away. He felt the G- force pierce through him, he was sure he'd fly away if he wasn't wearing a seatbelt. His heartbeat sped faster than his race car, the anticipation of winning growing by the second.

His sixth win is in reach; and at the beginning of the season.

I might just have a shot at the championship.

He decides not to get ahead of himself and focus on the track in front of him instead. One last straight he needs to travel, mere seconds from the finish line.

He catches a glimpse of red pulling beside him snapping him out of his thoughts.

Carlos.

The car beside him activates DRS and pushes hard on the throttle, an attempt at overtaking.

Charles pushes harder.

The car beside him inches slowly in front before dipping in front of Charles, swerving to block off any attempts from Charles to take back his position. And in the blink of an eye, Carlos had overtaken Charles and now speeding down the straight in front.

No, no, no, no

The chequered flag waves in front. He feels a surge of disappointment pulse through his body as well as hints of anger. His first win of the season thrown away because he wasn't focusing. He only has himself to blame for a mistake like that.

"That's P1 Carlos" comes through Carlos's radio as he crosses the white line.

He feels an empowering burst of confidence and happiness. Only the kind that winning at the beginning of the season provided. He felt the sweat of the racing and nervousness drop down his face. He tried to hide his immense excitement on the radio.

"Another smooth operation, he's a smooth operator, smooth oper-" he began singing his hype song as a way to truly infer how much this win meant to him.

A small chuckle was heard from the other side of the radio, "That's enough thank you Carlos."

He and Charles both went to park their cars in the designated spots before getting out.

Charles takes off his helmet and balaclava to reveal his sweat glistening face,"Nice job, mate."

He tries to hide his bitterness to congratulate his teammate.

Carlos does the same, revealing a wide smile on his face, "You too, eh"

Carlos goes to fulfilll the journalists never ending questions, but his mind was too preoccupied with the satisfaction of winning to care.

Charles on the other hand, found it much harder to try and hide the bitterness in his tone, but alas he must've succeeded at it if none of the journalists showed any particular signs in their expression when talking to him.

After they had both finished their interviews, they went to the cooldown room to take a break before the podium celebrations started. It just so happened that Lando was also there, his expression wearing one of tiredness and excitement at the same time.

His eyes dart towards both of them, widening his smile.

"Nice job mate, you deserve it," he says, shaking Carlos's hand.

The both of them continue talking for a while. Charles wasn't eager on talking much, so he stayed quiet for the most part, observing.

He notices the happiness in Carlos when he's talking to Lando. The kind of happiness only he can bring to Carlos. The kind of laugh only Lando can bring out in Carlos. The genuine one.

���—————————

Finally, they go out to the podium celebrations.

Standing on the step, Charles saw all of the gleeful faces staring up at him from below, easing him slightly.

Finally, they pick up the champagne bottles. Being Bahrain, the champagne was replaced with rose water, not quite offering the satisfactory pop and spraying. Alas, they managed to make it work.

Charles attacks Carlos with rose water, drenching his suit in coldness. He lets out a sound mixed with laughing and pain. He still manages to retort back and attack both Lando and Charles with his.

They both turn to face Charles, teaming up on him with the rose water. It absolutely drenches him in coldness but still feels refreshing.

He thinks he can let go of his disappointment for now.

STATE SOVEREIGNTY: If you live in TENNESSEE and are concerned with federal overreach please show your support for HB441/SB479 (most of this bill is a good lesson in the Constitution with the 5 pathways described starting in Sec. 9 bill). This legislation will create 5 pathways in which to invoke nullification (notice one of those pathways is a petition of nullification by the WE THE PEOPLE).

Art. 1 Sec. 8 of the US Constitution clearly states the small number of delegated legislative authorities the states and the people of the states gave to the federal government. The states and the people of the states created the federal government and their original goal was to keep the federal government in a very small bike lane while the states and the people owned the rest of the highway. We have allowed the federal government to step outside of its lane and it is time to rein them back in. Tennessee hopes to start the spark that creates a brush fire of other states to follow our lead. So, if you live in TN or know people in TN please help us get this bill across the finish line. My organization “TN Citizens for State Sovereignty” has been working 3 legislative sessions to pass this bill and each year we make great strides toward the finish line. Lets make 2025 the year we are successful. If you live in Tennessee and would like to keep up to date with what is happening in your state please join us at: tncss.substack.com, visit our website tncss.weebly.com and join our weekly show tninformer.com (weekly show on Mon. 7-8pm CT) - THANK YOU - EMAIL LINK

Hello! Congrats honey on the follower celebration I am so proud of you! I was hoping to request 🗝 with Enzo Ferrari? The aesthetic / inspo being a F1 principal and maybe some adrenaline fuckin?

F1Principal!Enzo Ferrari x f!Reader

word count: 1.2k

warnings: 18+ MDNI. F1 terminology, google translated italian (I’m sorry). Aggressive sex, nipple play, protected (clap) P in V sex, exhibitionism.

summary: Enzo thinks victory tastes far better on your skin.

AD masterlist | main masterlist | follower celebration | taglist

It crackled through your bones when you pushed the throttle to the car's floor, the g-force tilting your neck back against its support as you hurtle towards the chequered flag. The fans that screamed for you only saw the blur of crimson chassis speeding down the racing line, your grin disguised by your helmet as you threw a hand up in victory.

Pyrotechnics sparkled in the sky as the commentators roared, declaring your triumph. Mechanics hung from the fencing of the pit lane, thrusting their fists in celebration as they cheered your name.

The Grand Prix of Singapore had been brutal, a wet racetrack acting like a skating rink as $15 million cars slid into the barriers and burst into shards of carbon fibre that threatened to slice your tyres open. Somehow, with sheer grit and determination, you had brought it home, a flood of red uniformed mechanics rushing into pit lane to watch you on the podium.

The champagne stuck to your skin, wetting your race suit through and burning your eyes, but even with the record-breaking crowds cheering your name, you could only focus on one person while standing on the podium.

Enzo stared up at you with an indecipherable expression. His eyes were hard, gazing up at you with an intensity that made your elated heart plummet into the depths of your stomach. Had you fucked up? The car drove fine when you made it to parc ferme- had there been a failure when you turned off the engine?

Stumbling into the Ferrari motorhome after the hours of interviews you were contractually obliged to complete; you swallow your nerves down as you glance around. It’s quiet, the mechanics having rushed to the first bar they could reach to celebrate the win.

You rub your eyes with the backs of your knuckles, still stinging from the sparkling wine that had sprayed into them. You unzip your race suit, revealing your white fireproofs. The champagne had soaked into the fabric that clings to your body, the white material opaque and revealing your red lace bra.

When you open the door to your rest-room, a hand grasps the back of your neck and steers you away from the bed that calls to you; muscles battered from the g-forces of the car. You flinch, letting out a gasp of surprise at the chill of a signet ring pressing into your sweaty skin.

You smell the cologne before you see him, his body behind you as he pushes you towards the Team Principal's office, the prancing horse dancing above the silver plaque on the door. It’s vetiver, heady and expensive. Enzo opens the door, swinging it open again and turning you around to face him.

His eyes are wild, jaw tight as he stares down at you. You’ve never seen him so amped up, a vein springing from the skin on his temple.

“E-Enzo-”

“You-!” he raises his voice, shocking you into silence as he rips your race suit away from where it had hung from your hips. “You look good on a podium.”

His accent is thick, but you’ve never had trouble understanding him until now. Surely he didn’t say that? Your jaw hangs loose as his eyes drag down your body, eyeing the scarlet lace that teases behind the white fireproofs. “Do not make me wait so long for another, Bella.”

Stepping forward, Enzo’s body pushes you back towards his desk as you stumble to get out of his way. The edge of the polished oak desk hits the backs of your thighs, and Enzo’s hand darts out to splay across your chest, shoving you down onto the surface.

“Così fottutamente carina,” Enzo rumbles, his hands tearing at your pants to remove them. You moan softly, hearing the fabric rip before falling around you. He wastes no time, unbuckling his belt with a ‘clink’ and pulling his cock from his pressed slacks.

He doesn’t have to tell you; your hands are already fishing inside an open drawer for the collection of condoms he leaves precariously lying around in his office. There’s a reason he kept it locked when he left. You almost drop the packet when you grasp ahold of you, his mouth wrapping around your nipple, having pushed the soaked material of your fireproofs up to your throat. He sucks on your nipple, groaning as he tastes the champagne that clings to your skin.

The sensation of his tongue against your breast is heightened by the crackling adrenaline that still courses through you, elation dripping from your nerves as the echoes of the Italian anthem still ring in your ears. Your pussy flutters at its emptiness, begging for his attention.

Ripping the foil open, Enzo doesn’t need to remove his lips from you to roll the rubber onto his swollen cock. Instead, he nips at the fullness of your breast, sucking a maroon bruise against the underside of your tit in what had become somewhat of a routine- Enzo’s version of a branding, the bruise and indication that you belonged to him, despite the red suit with the dancing horse on your chest giving a pretty good indication itself.

“Fuck,” he chokes, sinking into you with such ease it makes your eyes roll back. The filling sensation sparks arousal across your skin, goosebumps rising on your skin as Enzo throws his composure out of the motorhome window to drag his tongue across your clavicle and taste the mix of alcohol and sweat. The cold of his pinkie ring bites the backs of your thighs as he practically folds you in half to hit the deepest parts of you when he finally rocks his hips forward into you.

“Enz-oh!” you choke on a cry of his name as he suddenly slams into you, the skin of his hips slapping against the flesh of your ass loudly. His body trembles when you clamp down around him, driving him forward. Teeth sink into your collarbone, causing you to yelp at the pain that blooms there.

With each crash of his hips into your own, the legs of the desk scrape against the floor loudly, adding to the symphony of your wails of his name and the clap of your flesh striking. You have no doubt it’s floating down into the paddock for your neighbours, Mercedes, to hear.

“Enzo, Enzo,” you try to capture his attention, fingers sinking into his silver hair and grasping the strands to drag his mouth from your skin. “They’ll hear-”

“Let them, Bella,” he insists, interrupting your caution. He’s utterly pussy drunk, not thinking about the consequences of his actions when your walls grip his cock just right. “Want them to know you’re mine, Bella Ragazza.”

You sob out at his expression, the way his thumb presses into your swollen, desperate clit. Enzo’s brutalising you, his punishing pace shoving you up the surface of the table so hard he finds himself having to pull you back towards him with a ditsy chuckle.

“Enzo- Enz-ugh-ah-hah- Enzo, fuck. I’m gonn-aha, ah-ah- I’m gonna fu-ughh!”

It was a sprint to the finish line, your wails of pleasure filtering down into the paddock and ultimately into the papers in the morning in a rumour that none of the staff were willing to authenticate.

Since there has been some interest in my current intake, here is it broke down. I have tried numerous setups but this custom OEM+ version is the best and passes stupid SMOG visual check.

I also intensely studied the 2.5RS forums and looked at dyno charts showing that this IS the best when combined with a 2.25" cat back exhaust and equal length headers. Trust me!

This was a lot work as well as trial and error and willingness to start over again and redo it again several times. I think this was also the lightest combo if you trying to reduce weight.

One of a kind custom intake for the naturally aspirated Subaru EJ25D....

First up is you need the intake tract/duct and hoses from an earlier model Subaru Impreza or any Subaru that has this intake tube vs the stock version with the "torque box" behind the throttle body. Junkyard is your best buddy.

I had expensive high performance mandrel bent blah blah blah intakes which I constantly struggled with keeping the metal tubing cool (I used a laser temp gauge). This plastic is basically the same but rarely gets too hot to touch. So, actually a cold air intake if you keep reading.

Since the entire manifold needed to come out, I painted it wrinkle red and polished the runners and throttle inlet.

The reason I removed the manifold was to install stainless studs to make installing the 10mm thick teflon spacers and 2 sets of gaskets easier. Similar to 8mm Grimmspeed phenolic (previously installed) but thicker. This mod makes a big difference, the entire manifold now stays cool. No more engine block heat soak, only ambient engine bay heat.

"For every 5 degree reduction in temperature, increases power by 1%"

You have to extend the EGR tube and possibly grind your ignition coil pack mounts lower. Because the entire manifold assembly will be sitting ~12mm higher.

I was fortunate enough to work with the gasket maker. So he made 10mm teflon intake manifold spacers and a matching prototype 10mm throttle body spacer! Again 2 gaskets to ensure no leaks. Not sure if these were ever made available afterwards since I was the first car.

This spacer combo increased plenum volume as well as helped to keep heat transfer drastically reduced.

Using my custom ported, polished and knife edged throttle body that I did myself with the coolant hose permanently bypassed and the cruise control bits removed. Keep in mind you will need longer bolts if you use a spacer here. Definitely improved throttle response after just the throttle body swap.

I scored this GC8 v3 factory resonator/cold air intake inlet from the UK. It's what goes with those fender plugs. Grabs cold air from inside the fender behind the corner light up high, so no chance of sucking up water. FWIW, You really shouldn't just delete the "snorkus", seriously, it's just gonna mess up your MAF sensor.

I was also able to make the resonator from a SVX work in the 04 Outback with some persuasion. It too takes air from the same location but the box was hard to cram in the fender.

The intake tract will work with whatever air filter box but in order to use the EUDM WRX intake inlet/resonator you will need the matching filter housing box from an earlier model or have to drill a new mounting hole. You will need both halves!

BEST panel filter on the market IS made by Grimmspeed! Don't waste your money on any other filter! I also added a Filter Wears waterproof inlet cover/pre-filter to the resonator just incase of water spray. The factory option fender plug fills that hole.

And I'm not sure if this was an upgrade or not but here is the JDM JECS MAF I am also using. Used DEI gold heat reflective tape to keep it cool and extend the life. Possibly more consistent/accurate readings?

The only other things installed are a Weapon R catch can to the PVC, which DOES keep some crap out of the intake tract and off the throttle body but probably no real performance advantage. Plus a heat/flame resistant "sock", same as around my fluid reservoirs, over the bendy/flexible bit of the intake tract just after the MAF. That area is prone to splitting/cracking with heat and age!

Now for treasure at the end of the rainbow! I am actually gonna give you nerds the mother fucking part numbers! These can be life savers when searching for parts.

*You might have to make or reuse your PVC, crankcase, IAC valve hoses. So grab whatever is attached if your at the junkyard or hit up the auto parts store.

Refracting lights in the hour glass behind vision

Chaotic movements of the body amid its reflections

The light again in so many partial births through out

With no one law of motion to declare what it's about.

Tongue half, and half a flower, then a stout,

See through that latter half in lateness,

So much for order to the strain of playfulness.

Interiors of our lives, the only blossom a spray of hydrangeas

It beckons from inside, from inside

It sidles to the doorstep of being, to hang drop gentle pedal,

The visions themselves of creative amorphous beginning,

Taking up with, the reflections of re-assemblage,

These pure manifestations of the process of reasoning.

Human, drag yourself out of the mud,

Human, flag yourself down by the road-side lights,

The pure creative flower of your opening

That up which around you, you are in your transformation.

Your chaotic origins in the synchronicity of thought

As passages of your subjectivity,

As passage of your mildness and meal,

The requisite parish of your interest in yourself

Which blossoms into dream like chrysanthemum,

In the head of the aster, blackens into pointed coals

Of internal flame.

Growing up into the face of the light source

Which reflects and plays off the surfaces of life

While some of life comes in in pairs.

Watching you the watching of you in one's love for one's

Love of one, refractions of the chaotic surface of the same

Splintering into guiding beings, like Christ or Buddah.

The cracked drink-hub carried across throttled deserts,

Where wind stops at the brink of creativity,

If given the right voice, that of the poet.

If jaw-bone waivers with the light inward of self, what of that, It is divined inspired, creative utterance.

Prelude of the self in traditions of its formal contrivance,

It shades the girlish charm of a wizened morning projection

Of the sun, sometimes referred to as the aster.

Had one fear of such amorphousness until naught

Strove in the pattern with one's reflection,

The waves of heat above the pond in which stood one's reflection.

Rippling with that which wove the frame of reference

In which there was self hood in secondarily

That self bloomed in the rhythmic interference of its fringes,

The poem in which that was brought to light.

In the face of a desert wind, utterance to thrust a hand

Towards energy, it propels one on,

It interjects the pen, it retorts the lyrical wantonness of prelude.

In winds of chafe, then exposure, the isle of exposed internal tendency all alight

And the beacon of a chalice which hummed with air's passage, like a boat's horn,

Tolled the bourgeoning interior, the wakefulness to autumn's naught, yes,

But the fragrance of a trans-temporal plant like the surface of one's lost leaf,

The interior all withstood of those reasoned negotiations,

It swung open a gate of creativity in the vortex of one's entreating the wind oneself,

As something less than solid, an earthen dryness in the chasm,

That of metaphor, in place of plain speech the gentle fragrance of becoming.

To thwart the stink of reconfiguration amid destitution and of destitute reasons-

For-being, like the sight of chaos as its traces of name may scatter amid

Dented volumes unopened, where the swinging ones emerge with a guidance,

The guide, the beloved husbandry of a winged spirit in the eve of revelation.

That interiority of its mantle, the bud, and subsequent, interest of one's face,

As blossom, jaw falling with awe. Jaw fallen with the souls of the guider's

Complicity. It stings one like sweat of the day in which sight grooms one,

As it is wont to.

It listlessly graces one's interior workings to appraise the chord and mixture,

The verse extends into a broadness of feeling which it has for rhetoric.

The lace of a day's worth of scent which one awaits an evening

Of one's own sweat where to absorb it is one's focused longing in

Late hours of dis-abilitude and longing for the internal being

Where what one wants is a fixate interval of the energy in

A sun-shielding hand which covers what one occupies.

That is why,

In love, all is grief and bones of chickens, along which teeth

Run in the cold uncommon to the grease of pink-fingered dawn, lay out, bemoaned

By a fervid evening in love in which the acquaintance is of chaos at that pique

Of the interpersonal sense in which one even is at that point

For which at any rate

The language dries of one's wind tunnel in that fixture,

There is the most earthen alcaloid in all of brain chemistry,

The one which is most terrestrial of any astronomy known or unknown,

As the posture of a ghostly planet can for certain guard the temporal.

There is the precedence of sight, it is rather the elipsis in self-creative

Interlude when one takes on the energetic probabilities...

...Which darken into fear, interior of one's losses, that alone one

Suffers the onslaught of the sun's belly-up tergiversate intellect.

Where it guides, in Guinea or else-wise the light-being arises,

Torn holes off where of living guardian in the flesh who move

Amid his legion, as beings of light themselves are named

Of no internal step in its reasoning, in actuality

Light adorns the essence of the apostasies that are

Wholesomeness in one's expression of longing,

For one would die without one,

That floral companion of a late-evening appeal of the brow

To tighten in one's arms, a thought might protect it's communist platform,

Or it's social impetus in material reality, for that degree of metaphor

Is negligible to the sound of its issue-forth whom is ubiquitous Internally, and bloomed fully of that issue: touch.

It spirited off in haste around the sight of unity, dualism

It hinted for in the outcome of the wind and one's metaphoric pregnancy

Hung fat with child are the caldrons of awaking and chaos from the other

And parentally triad, its nature, thus a blindness that is origin of antithesis

So much so by chance or fate, the ratio it yields

So much that it stands to rend

So much from the direction sunward of a stalk

Yielding before it the guidance of the word,

God's son, who crept In shielded proclivity from deluge on towards judgment day.

Prayer in her heart who awaits my return, it is not known otherwise than

As repair, backward turning emotion, or as withstanding, henceforth

Nowise of that ripening one-sided energy an ability of the lover

Whom one awaits.

Working in changes of tense amid the grammatical precision of a subject clause

That oneself is in chaotic thrown in question-ness for otherwise it is elementary

To call oneself aged in the moment of birth, but such sun's of the interior,

Are the dayspring of God's will and well-being.

Yield the revelations of Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John.

It is a magnetic un-relinquishment of the taxidermy in which teeth break

With the hum of the proverbial tunnel, that renders interiority its fast

In the spirit of desert prophets, in the spirit of the frog who elates with

The sound of its own stifled limbs, in otherness, liken to the life of

Amphibian stigma alone, that passionate of interiors,

To christen inside of one's church the chastity of embrace.

Magnetically chaos hangs together with the lost soul,

Magnus rule decides the proliferation of the voice towards corners like tradition,

The point subsides but where it aligns itself, Orobyrus,

Like utterance the reflection from off a dried leaf of waxen meal like necessity

It takes its pattern from there and winds up within itself, observed like the line

Of verse, to the tendency of need.

It can be written to the tendency of many different energies,

Roaming for home...

...Fearing God

In person to fear and to withhold, that which is learning for one, is often

That which reverses the vision upon one's wishing it so, reverses

The vision upon one's most nearness to vision of mental

Reflection, that point called to stop at nothing.

Thus render one's self to one's beloved, and be one's own guarantee of success,

Like the thing itself, fall of petal onto one's place of rest,

Interior as a tongue is to the jaw, vibe along

The surface of pointillist render, where in between,

Of that artistry, deify one's ancestry.

tw blood, gore, body horror

you think you'd act differently. 

horror of any degree is comfortably scrutinized when caught in 4K. the commentary is uninventive when it's wholly based in fiction, the million dollar rhetorical question moreso. distantly, mockingly: why, how, could you be so fucking stupid?

fight or flight is easy to pick apart, too. when broken down into an innate act of biology, it feels matter of fact. with enough of those cylinders firing overtime—there's a suggestion that this, too, can be tamed. weaponized even.

but here's the thing though: this is nothing like the movies.

it's so, so much fucking worse.

because as wren runs like she means it through the double doors of the building and out into the spill of the streets, she's not thinking about how all this looks from a bird's eye view or up close. she surges forward with the escaping crowd, sight caught through the view of horse blinders, tunnel vision narrowing with the blinding course of adrenaline.

the memory loops on in flashbulb bursts: the blow of the door, the flood of bodies, the howling screams, one wave after another in a tsunami of mutilation. 

the worst hadn't been the spray of blood, or the popped rupture of skin into the tear of muscle. it'd been seeing the teeth as it chewed: pearl white. blunted. terribly, undeniably human. 

she wants to be sick. wants the throttle of nausea. wants something—anything—to expel it all out of her. but the vision continues to stick, sinks right below the skin like a parasite.

and of course, this isn't the end of it simply because she wants it to be. it never works out that way. instead,  she cuts a corner, stumbles headfirst onto ground zero: in the midst of the rubble, a wiry woman shoves off a hulking man-shaped weight off of her.

wren's presence is registered in an instant. no spoken language is needed to know what the woman wants. it's in the dilation of her eyes, the hoarseness of her voice as she drags herself towards her—sheer mercy. there's an unmistakable flow of crimson that drips over her knuckles. a whimper sounds behind her, the face by her back small and solemn. 

ditch the mom, save the kid. ditch them both, save yourself. any armchair spectator is already debating the odds and the ethics like this is just another run of the mill trolley problem. no matter the conclusion, the tagline is the same:

it couldn't be more obvious.

but how obvious could it be? when there's a flash of a microsecond to think, to choose? the thing moves and wren can only think to move faster. her hand shoots up at the sleeve and pulls—hard.

RUN.

Waves of heat rolled up off the desert sands, the hot summer sun scorching all it laid its rays upon. Vegetation among the dunes was sparse. The plants that did dot the desert were all dangerous in their own right, evolving and changing to acclimate to the harsh, almost otherworldly climate. Thorns and poisons alike were the main make up of the flora, and even the most innocuous flower likely packed a poison that could take down even the largest being.

A low drone rumbled steadily through the dunes, dust and particles lifting in the air around the hoverbike. A lone figure was perched on the bike, screaming its way through the scorched landscape.

Saya readjusted the scarf around her face, ensuring it was still secured over her nose. She had dampened it before she took off for the desert for a cooling effect, though it was mostly dried by now in the heat. At least it had done its job, protecting her from getting pelted by sand, and from ingesting it.

Her control over her bike was no less than expert, commanding total mastery of her vehicle. To watch her ride was almost like watching an art, a dance of master and machine that was both daring yet exhilarating. Most people who rode the way she did would be sure to meet an early grave, but she knew her bike better than she knew most people - even herself.

There was no other sound she could hear besides the roaring, white-hot engines behind her. They rattled her entire being, shaking her teeth with the ferocity of which they operated. As she twist the throttle, it only grew louder. Sand particles pelted the red lenses of her goggles, dotting the bits of hair she had still exposed.

The bike screamed up a tall dune, cresting it with ease. Saya slowed her bike as she reached the apex, steadying it as she put her feet down into the sand. A long breath left her as she lift her goggles, peering out into the desert horizon.

A wall of sand was what greeted her to the north. It was dozens of miles high, rolling quickly across the landscape. She could feel the hot winds hitting her face from that direction - such a wind was impossible to be considered 'refreshing', feeling more as if it were a rolling heat from opening a hot oven.

It was what she loved the most about the desert. In all of its glory, it was cruel, and it was unforgiving. There was no respite to be had in such a volatile land. It was why she couldn't stay away for too long - it called back to her like a siren's song. Part of her had to wonder if this was how sailors felt about the ocean. A cruel force of nature with an almost tangible allure. Dangerous to fools, but rewarding to those who could fight and survive. Her rides out into the wilderness were common these days, especially with how slow the League always was.

"Regis," her voice was dry and hoarse. Saya took a momentary pause to move her scarf, taking her hefty canteen from her bike's saddlebag. The water was like heaven, still refreshingly cool thanks to how insulated the container was. "Y'been towin' along this entire time?" Saya continued, recapping her water and placing it back into the bag.

The sand next to her shifted, rolling and slipping away from a titanic steel golem. The Registeel completely dwarfed both Saya and her bike, blotting the sun out and providing the woman with a bit of shade. Regis' red eyes slowly and methodically blinked, a pattern that Saya was thankful to understand. 'Yes. Ensuring your safety.'

There was a small chuckle that left her. Saya moved her goggles back over her eyes, and moved her scarf back over her mouth and nose. With a final check to make sure her low ponytail was stuffed properly into her jacket, she'd start up her bike again. It lift slowly, sending a spray of sand and dust away from the hover discs.

She'd reach her hand out towards the Registeel, tapping quickly along its body. The noise was shockingly hollow, something that Saya had been surprised by at first - but now she was used to it. The golem was a strange companion, one she had unearthed after a night trip out to the desert with Mags a long while back. Saya hadn't even done anything either. The Registeel was intent on tagging along with her, for one reason or another.

'My safety? Funny. Hope you're ready for a sandstorm.' Her eyes crinkled under her goggles, and though her face was mostly covered, it was easy to tell she was grinning.

Under the Hood: Exploring Essential Toyota Car Parts

Introduction

When it comes to owning a Toyota car, understanding the essential parts under the hood is crucial for maintaining its performance and longevity. Whether you're a car enthusiast or a first-time Toyota owner, familiarizing yourself with these components will empower you to make informed decisions about maintenance, repairs, and upgrades. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the essential Toyota car parts, their functions, and provide helpful tips to keep your Toyota running smoothly for years to come.

The Engine: The Heart of Your Toyota

The Engine Block

At the core of your Toyota car is the engine block, also known as the cylinder block. This robust metal casing houses the engine's cylinders, pistons, and other internal components. The engine block provides structural support and acts as a foundation for the engine's operation.

The Pistons and Connecting Rods

The pistons and connecting rods work together to convert the energy generated by the combustion process into rotational motion. As the fuel-air mixture ignites, the pistons move up and down within the cylinders, transferring force to the connecting rods. These rods, in turn, transmit the energy to the crankshaft, which ultimately powers the wheels.

The Crankshaft

The crankshaft is a vital component responsible for converting the up-and-down motion of the pistons into rotational motion. It transfers power from the pistons to the transmission, allowing your Toyota to move forward. The crankshaft must be precisely balanced to minimize vibrations and ensure smooth engine operation.

The Cylinder Head

Located on top of the engine block, the cylinder head houses the intake and exhaust valves, spark plugs, and fuel injectors. It plays a crucial role in sealing the combustion chambers and controlling the flow of air, fuel, and exhaust gases. The cylinder head also houses the camshaft, which regulates the opening and closing of the valves.

The Timing Belt or Timing Chain

The timing belt or timing chain synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and the camshaft. It ensures that the valves open and close at the correct time, allowing for efficient combustion and optimal engine performance. Regular inspection and replacement of the timing belt or chain are essential to prevent potential engine damage.

The Fuel System: Powering Your Toyota

The Fuel Pump

The fuel pump is responsible for delivering fuel from the gas tank to the engine. It maintains the required fuel pressure for proper combustion and ensures a consistent flow of fuel to the injectors. A malfunctioning fuel pump can result in poor engine performance or even engine stalling.

The Fuel Injectors

Fuel injectors are responsible for precisely delivering fuel into the combustion chambers. They spray a fine mist of fuel, allowing for efficient combustion and optimal fuel economy. Over time, fuel injectors can become clogged or develop leaks, leading to decreased performance and fuel efficiency.

The Fuel Filter

The fuel filter plays a crucial role in ensuring that only clean fuel reaches the engine. It traps impurities and contaminants, preventing them from entering the fuel injectors and potentially causing damage. Regular replacement of the fuel filter is necessary to maintain optimal fuel system performance.

The Throttle Body

The throttle body controls the amount of air that enters the engine. It opens and closes a valve, known as the throttle plate, in response to driver input. The throttle body is electronically controlled in modern Toyota cars and works in conjunction with the engine's computer to optimize performance and fuel efficiency.

The Cooling System: Keeping Your Toyota Cool

The Radiator

The radiator is an essential component of the cooling system, responsible for dissipating heat generated by the engine. It uses a combination of coolant, air, and the radiator fan to regulate the engine's temperature. Regular maintenance, including coolant flushes and radiator cleanings, is necessary to prevent overheating and engine damage.

The Water Pump

The water pump circulates coolant throughout the engine, ensuring that it reaches all the necessary components. It is driven by the engine's crankshaft and plays a vital role in maintaining optimal operating temperatures. A faulty water pump can lead to coolant leaks, engine overheating, and potential engine damage.

The Thermostat

The thermostat is a temperature-sensitive valve located between the engine and the radiator. It regulates the flow of coolant based on the engine's temperature. The thermostat remains closed when the engine is cold, allowing it to warm up quickly. Once the engine reaches the optimal temperature, the thermostat opens, allowing coolant to flow and maintain a stable temperature.

The Cooling Fan

The cooling fan helps dissipate heat from the radiator by pulling air through the radiator fins. It is typically electrically controlled and turns on when the engine reaches a certain temperature. A malfunctioning cooling fan can result in overheating and potential engine damage.

Conclusion

Understanding the essential Toyota car parts under the hood is essential for every Toyota owner. From the engine components that power yourvehicle to the fuel system that keeps it running, and the cooling system that prevents overheating, each part plays a crucial role in maintaining optimal performance. By familiarizing yourself with these components and their functions, you can make informed decisions about maintenance, repairs, and upgrades for your Toyota.

Remember to regularly inspect and maintain these parts to ensure your Toyota continues to run smoothly. From checking the timing belt or chain to replacing the fuel filter and performing coolant flushes, proactive maintenance is key to preventing potential issues and extending the lifespan of your vehicle.
