Anybody else get paranoid about unidentified cars? So I live in a cul-de-sac type street. Pretty quiet neighborhood save for sometimes I'm working in the garage until 2am or later. Not a lot of loud noises, kind of a safe area, except robberies happen every now and then, but generally low crime...

I don't see a threading lip on the block though, I guess I'll ask the dealer tomorrow. Thanks:icon_bigg.

The freeze plugs on the block were removed during the hot tank, and I am going to order a set from Toyota. However, a couple of plugs (Well I'm assuming they're plugs) with a hex shape key in them in the back of the block are also gone. Does anyone know what size plugs these are, or maybe a part...

^ I need to get me some of that... :biglaugh: Yeah, I wish I had a longer temper. Wait, what? I usually go to either the shooting range or driving range to get frustration out. See? First 2 posts and bam! My spirits are lifted. I love this forum, that is why, I must: :runaway:.

Something that shouldn't get to you but does. Something that you're supposed to let go but can't. Former friends who do nothing but remind you of mistakes of past. Which is why there are former friends. They do nothing to support, only break you and others down. I don't need that kind of...

I work at Hard Times Billiards in Bellflower. I run their tournaments. I play a LOT of pool (too much sometimes) and know quite a few top notch player's. Compared to the people I see down at Hard Times on the tourney side, I'm a half decent player only. I shoot with an Al Romero Custom Cue, 60"...

Oh man. It was so much simpler just 3 years ago. Here's what I know: Processors: Even though an older, single core processor is rated higher, a dual core or quad (or 8 or whatever) has the GHZ frequency rated per core. Simple way to think about it is to multiply this figure (dual core 2.6 is...

If the mods have a problem with any of the information contained herein, please edit or remove as necessary or let me know to do so. Although this is specifically for you guys in Los Angeles County who get tickets, some of this can be used if you are elsewhere, here is some advice that helped me...

Win.

As much as that sucks for the owners, I always thought the Skyline was an overrated car. It never really made my blood boil so much as made me roll my eyes...

I'll work on that. I want to clean it up before I take pics. And in the meantime at least get some touchup paint on the spots in the bumper that got gouged to the plastic.

Suddenly the guy I have loathed for so many years for making me reach for a barf bag every time a New BMW design came out is being seen in a new light: innovative. Kudos to Mr. Bangle for pursuing such radical design, however impractical it may be. He always seems to pursue radical design...

So I just got my new car the other day. Okay, it's not "NEW", but it's a nice car. 1998 Lexus GS300, high mileage (like 145K). So I take a couple hours to clean the dirty interior and it's starting to look cleaner. A buddy of mine says he'll fix the bumpers and paint them for fairly cheap. I get...

How do I park at Wal-Mart? Between the lines :biglaugh:. But honestly, there's a back entrance at my local Wal-Mart and it always has close spots to it, so I park there. I rarely go through the main doors anymore. Also, the car stuff is near that back entrance, as I only go to Wal-Mart to buy...

ROFL... Paraphrased from some show I saw awhile back: "Save the Polar Bears? FUCK the Polar Bears! PEOPLE COME FIRST!"

Like I said, it had to be something me and my mom could drive. Sometimes she totes my sister and my nephew around, and a 2-door car would be impractical. Same reason I overlooked an SC as well. I don't think it's as bad as I described it, I just pointed out what I nitpicked about. Only the...

California law states that the legal limit is 95 dBa. I once got a ticket for my Neon for having modified exhaust. I had put on an SRT-4 rear section. I went back to my OEM muffler (which actually wasn't all that quiet), and it still registered 92 dBa at the BAR examination station. Cops can...

Some people are jacking up the prices of Hybrids and small 4-cylinder cars to more than they're worth to try to cash in on the fuel craze. I try to plan ahead for up to $10 a gallon gas. In the end I'd probably just buy a motorcycle (a 600) and hope that I don't get blindsided by someone. I just...

I bought it for $6200... Maybe not the best deal, but I like the car. A lot. Plus, I didn't even notice a "other cars" section. Mods are on top of it as usual..
