    "The Faithful" vs "The Nation"

    Please vote in the poll before reading the rant below... You voted? Good. Last night I went to the 49ers/Raiders Game at Monster Park in SF. My first thought as I walked to the stadium was - "Geez, what a ghetto spot for a stadium." Seriously, WTF. Got lost trying...

    7M N/A Burnout (short)

    A quick burnout in my 86.5. Had to stop because there was an incoming car. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tq2hcjDuwI0 The Aftermath:

    The best way to shut your boss up.

    My boss has been talking crap about my car since I got it. Every penny I've spent is called into question. Spending money on the engine, the suspension, intake and exhaust, etc. Also the countless hours I've spent tinkering with it, replacing parts, debating over what's next, planning what to do...

    Anal Probe (LOL)

    So I took a road trip to LA this week. I just installed the Megan Track Spec coilovers and was feeling pretty pleased with myself. My fiance and I were on I-5 late Thursday night going about 90. Just to see what it would feel like, I pushed it up to about 120. The car felt ROCK SOLID, no nose...

    Smoke when ACIS valve opens?

    As many of you know, I have an 86.5 N/A. This evening, while on the freeway, I was being tailed by some moron with his high beams on. I was cruising 80 in 5th. I dropped it to 4th and hammered it. As soon as the air valve for the ACIS opened up (VTEC just kicked in, yo!) I saw a FAT cloud of...

    Drifting Suspension

    Okay, I'm definately looking to replace my suspension parts. Definately going with the ST sway bars, also front and rear tower bars. Here's my question: Should I go with Tokico Illumina IIs with Eibach Springs, Tein SS coilovers, JIC coilovers, or the Megan Track coilovers? This car will be...

    Signature Request

    With my new username, I was wondering if anyone would mind making a new sig for me. Nothing really fancy. I can provide some medium quality (6.1MP) pictures for it. I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

    Should I get this as a project car?

    1990, Turbo, Burgandy with Grey interior. 5-speed transmission, TEMS suspension. Hood needs painting. His kid overheated it, and it's got a BHG. Guy wants $1000. I'm actually considering it. Either call me an idiot, or tell me to jump. Just asking for advise here.

    Pwned a Bentley!

    :owned: Totally owned a Continental GT wangan style! Car has great acceleration, though. If the driver has some skill I would have been blown off the road. I've always said that power alone does not a fast car make.

    JDM engines = AWW CRAP (NO 56k!)

    So, a few months ago I did an oil change. Fired it back up and I heard my engine say "knock-knock." I was curious, so I responded with "Who's there?" My engine then very loudly screamed "ROD KNOCK, BITCH!" It was at that point I began my hunt for a short block, or long block. Picked up a...

    86.5 vs ITR vs 87 Turbo

    Cruising at 80 on 880 South Saturday night. It's late, I'm tired, almost nobody else on the road. A glint in my rearview, a ricer charging hard behind me. He blazes by at 100+. So what does any Supra owner do? Damn right I chased him down. Stuck it to forth and dropped the hammer. RiceMan...

    Need fast advice!

    The guy right down the street from me is selling a 90 turbo 5 Speed. Good interior, CLEAN paint, rims, etc. I called him up and he wants $3,500. He wasn't home when I called so I haven't test driven it. He said: New motor, runs flawlessly. Replaced due to rod-knock. No turbo smoke, boosts...

    What's that clickin' noise?

    Here's a question. I have an 86.5 with mild mods. Intake and exhaust mostly. Lately, I've been getting this strange clicking sound right around the ECU (under the glove compartment) when I decellerate. Also, when it DOES make that sound, the car will stall if I depress the clutch. Also, it seems...

    How much should I pay for this car?

    I've been approached with an offer I really don't want to refuse. A friend of mine works at an auto parts store. An MKIII Turbo got the OMGBBQBHG in front of his store. The driver has requested a certain amount, but I heven't seen the car yet. What should I expect to pay? Doesn't seem like he's...

    I need a sig.

    If anyone here has any free time, I would really appreciate some help with a sig. I'm not very good with photoshop and I definately suck with paint. I'm not going to cry if nobody helps, lol. If possible, I'd really like a red/black theme. Thanks to anyone willing to help. Here's a few pics...
