      <description>The second-gen CRX: small, light, revs to the moon. The first Honda on the grid, because a friend who owns one asked. It went up complete in a day.</description>

      <description>The boring work nobody claps for: thousands of dead links gone, lost pages recovered, and a search index half the size that stopped guessing wrong.</description>

      <description>Everything here is free and it stays that way. But servers and source manuals cost money, and we have a documented tool-buying problem. So there is now a way to chip in.</description>

      <pubDate>Mon, 15 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>Every drift scene has a starter car. In Portugal it is the E36. Rear drive, cheap, and beloved by everyone with a welder and a dream. The first BMW.</description>

      <title>Flowcharts and wiring that actually read well</title>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://sucatisse.com/blog/diagnostic-flowcharts-wiring-diagrams/</guid>
      <pubDate>Mon, 15 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>Diagnostic flowcharts now read well on a phone. Wiring diagrams are the harder nut, and we will be honest: they are still a work in progress.</description>

      <title>New Manual: Bug-Eyed Rally Champion</title>

      <pubDate>Tue, 02 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>The GD bugeye. Round lights, an EJ boxer that sounds like nothing else, all four wheels driven. A club member&apos;s car, and the hardest manual so far.</description>

      <title>New Manual: The Smallest V6 Ever Made</title>
      <link>https://sucatisse.com/blog/mazda-mx3-manual/</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://sucatisse.com/blog/mazda-mx3-manual/</guid>
      <pubDate>Thu, 28 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>The MX-3 runs the K8-ZE, a 1.8 V6 that once held the title of smallest mass-produced six in the world. Of course a club member owns one.</description>

      <title>A new homepage, manuals first</title>
      <link>https://sucatisse.com/blog/manuals-first-homepage/</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://sucatisse.com/blog/manuals-first-homepage/</guid>
      <pubDate>Tue, 26 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>The homepage used to bury the point. Now the free rebuilt manuals are the headline, with a shelf of free tools next to them.</description>

      <title>New Manual: The Answer Is Always Miata</title>
      <link>https://sucatisse.com/blog/mazda-mx5-na-manual/</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://sucatisse.com/blog/mazda-mx5-na-manual/</guid>
      <pubDate>Tue, 26 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>Ask the internet what car to buy and eventually someone says Miata. They are usually right. A family MX-5 I drive most weeks, and the first Mazda.</description>

      <title>New Manual: Nissan&apos;s Undervalued Toad</title>
      <link>https://sucatisse.com/blog/nissan-100nx-n14-manual/</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://sucatisse.com/blog/nissan-100nx-n14-manual/</guid>
      <pubDate>Thu, 21 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>Nobody remembers the 100NX. Pop-up lights, a T-bar roof, and a shape that looked like the future in 1990. A club member&apos;s car, and the third manual.</description>

      <title>Every torque spec, in the units you actually use</title>

      <pubDate>Fri, 08 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>The feature that started the whole project, done properly: a torque page on every manual that flips each spec between Nm, kg-m and ft-lb.</description>

      <title>From the procedure straight to the part number</title>
      <link>https://sucatisse.com/blog/oem-parts-catalog/</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://sucatisse.com/blog/oem-parts-catalog/</guid>
      <pubDate>Thu, 07 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>Reading how to do a job is only half of it. The manuals now carry an OEM parts catalog, so a procedure links straight to the exact part numbers.</description>

      <title>New Manual: Snoopy, our budget track car</title>
      <link>https://sucatisse.com/blog/k11-the-second-manual/</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://sucatisse.com/blog/k11-the-second-manual/</guid>
      <pubDate>Tue, 21 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>The second manual is the club&apos;s K11 Micra, a track toad called Snoopy. We were going to live in this book anyway, so we rebuilt it properly.</description>

      <title>Why I rebuilt a whole service manual for one bolt</title>
      <link>https://sucatisse.com/blog/s13-the-first-manual/</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://sucatisse.com/blog/s13-the-first-manual/</guid>
      <pubDate>Mon, 16 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>It began under my own S13, phone balanced on the strut tower, fighting a scanned PDF for a single torque spec. So I rebuilt the manual as a web page.</description>
