Lately for carry, I'm really happy with the FN 5.7. 20 rounds in the mag, light and easy to carry, no metal on the outside, it's completely polymer covered. The 40gr "sporting" ammo I use is not going to over penetrate, has little recoil, is absolutely accurate at ranges most pistols don't...

I've shot Chi-com rifles, pistols and they are fine. Many thousands of rounds of 9mm submachine gun rounds in my old PT99, prior to that ammo being banned from sale here. It was hot, never failed to fire, and IIRC, about 3 to 4 cents per round. (Think buying .22LR ammo cheap, 500 rounds for...

Yep, adding a turbo or two to the S8 sounds like fun, and who knows? Perhaps one of these days I'll create my own setup. (I think the best option is a rear mounted turbo, replacing a muffler, using a modern turbo with no pressureized oil supply needed, and the intercooling needs would be...

:) Nice to see you to IJ. :0 It has been awhile, but this site is still one of the best, if not the best on the net.

Nobody can guess mine! LOL 16 years now of this "career" has indeed shaped who I am, and how I look at the world in many ways. If you think life is fair, just wait, reality will be along soon to right that apple cart of yours... :)

I was tempted by other AWD vehicles, but I'm getting too old for the STI/Evo ride quality, and while I love the turbo power, you can't discount the instant response of a nice V8. :) Nearly bought an RS6 twice now, but the price/value/reliability just does not add up. (They are 30k for a nice...

Traction: It's why I drive an S8 now. :) Too bad they don't import the latest 4.2 TDI diesel into this country. With a chip and some mods, 700lbs of tourqe is easy in a 4000lb sedan that looks like your Grandma could be driving it.

Hey Theresa! :) I was cleaning up some email, and hit up a link, since I still get emails from here on threads I've posted in, and I keep in touch with a few folks I've met in the Supra community over the years.

So, parted off my MK3 after reaching the zenith of what I could get out of it, and finding as I've become an over 40ish dude, that I like stealth, AWD and comfortable rides along with the ability to throw my two kids in the back without sending them to the chriopractor after a short ride... :)...

Looks great Chris! I really like the Alcantera dash cover. Do you have any left over to do your upper door panels with? (Where your arms go with the windows down.) Just a thought, but it would look awesome, and feel great too.

That is looking great! I'm looking forward to seeing how it all turns out when you get it back in the Supra again.

I've been looking for a stainless Mini 30 to enjoy using the cheap surplus Russian 7.62X39 stuff. :) (Sure, it's corrosive, but the stainless seems to hold up better I have been told, but still to wash them out with a mix of amonia/water and a drop of soap, then wipe off the gun, and oil as...

Have you tried the M&P9? I have large hands, and found that with the Crimson Trace grip, that I really liked the ergonomics of this pistol. Now that they have thumb safety's on this gun available, I'd go that route, and cut the right side one off, and still use the CTC grip. (I like, and am...

I've seen a 350SBC with a Whipple in an Oldsmobile Bravada AWD system. It eventually wiped out the transmission, but was amazing. (Think homemade 4door Syclone with a V8 v/s the 3.8 V6 turbo.) Last I heard, it met up with a telephone pole when the owner/driver was slightly DUI, and has never...

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, there are mods for my gas 4.2 V8 as well.... PES has a roots type supercharger setup that is very tempting. The price they want however is not.
