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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Ever since I wrecked my daily driver awhile back, I have been looking for a new car. My mom keeps helping me and has given me a $7K budget to buy a car. So I am trying to find a car that she would love to drive. I am currently looking at a 1998 Lexus GS 300 with high mileage. 145K, needs some...

Another Speeding ticket. So I guess I'll vent a bit here. I'm still in the middle of fighting my last moving violation. Going canyon running, I see a cop and I slow down, deciding it's not worth it to run. The car ahead of me has bolted, and it's gone. I know I could have beaten him down the...

Hmm. It's been awhile since I was back here. Most notably, the source for everything Supra, not just MK3's. Plus I'm still dismantling that NA Supra in my garage, haven't gotten around to it because of school :biglaugh:. Anyhow, I was going over my mental list of when I restore my 89 Turbo, and...

Did anybody hear about this yet? I did a search and no topics came up, but I just thought you'd might want to know that Colin McRae, passed away with his 5 year old son Johnny and 2 others when the helicopter McRae was believed to be piloting crashed outside his home in Scotland. He was a great...

So I work at a local pool hall, earn a meager income, but every now and then I get to meet interesting characters. Case in Point, a weekly regular who plays the tournaments I run. I feel you should know he isn't the typical rich-white ass-wipe who thinks their car is the shit. What he is is...

I achieved what I have never been able to do in the past. A great personal milestone. A cop writing me up at about 2am this morning, wrote me up on 4 violations! (I'm driving my daily driver Neon btw). Completely filled the front of the ticket. You could tell he was itching to write me up for...

Hey there everyone. I have a 7M-GE parts car that was involved in an accident that tore up the front and back. I want to swap the GE parts into my non-running turbo car, but am wondering if anyone here who has experience swapping (either GE-> GTE or vice versa) knows exactly what it entails. The...

Hey everyone, I like to go canyon driving from time to time and rarely see any Supras. After suffering a busted tire (sidewall bulging) after running over a signpost idiots threw onto the road (probably thought it was funny or something) I went home but my friends I went with stayed. They met a...

They sell crap that's broken half the time. Wouldn't accept my return of a Router. I messed up the box (on accident) and they said the serial number was tampered with (scratched a few times) and per their return policy, couldn't accept it. Well, now I have 2 Linksys Routers. I still hate Fry's...

Just a story. Venting if you will. Somebody came up tonight, and it wasn't me: Here's why you don't let idiots borrow your hand tools: They leave them out in front of their car for 10 minutes and go inside to bullshit around and come back out and they're gone. Yup. I let a friend borrow about...

As the title states, I hate the fact I am inclined to believe things that are outlandish. Especially too good to be true deals. Well, I work in a Pool Hall, so it's expected. A guy tells me he'll sell me a cue for $150, I say sure. He thinks I'm joking, I'm thinking he's serious. I come up with...

Hey is there anyone around southern california who know's of this road? I MAY have posted this elsewhere... Anyways, I take my daily driver Neon up there every now and then and (gas prices allowing) would love to see how good (or bad) it stacks up to a Mark3 since mine doesn't well, run. My Neon...

It's been awhile since I've been here. My Supra still progresses slowly (as in it doesn't). No this post is not about race. This is about engineering tolerances. I recently had a discussion with a friend of mine about some of the main reasons why GM can't compete in the current market in terms...

Well, the fact that my RKE system in my daily driver Neon is non-operational probably didn't help that my car was broken into. The thief tried what looked like a quick robbery but failed to do so. Door was still locked, and glass was all over the seat so he probably leaned in and tried to grab...
