    *Project Cheap Street*

    Wow! What a steal for $400 bucks, kudos to you for saving that girl from the crusher! Those rims look almost exactly like mine, think you could do a nice closeup of the center caps? My rear ones have long since left and I need to find a replacement. (hopefully Discount Tire sells centers...

    Anyone into C++ progamming?

    main() stuff while(1) { cin >> answer; if( (answer == 'y') || (answer = 'Y') ) do your stuff; else if ( (answer =='q') || (answer == 'Q')) break; else cout << "invalid response"; } cout << "ciao" end

    Anyone into C++ progamming?

    you have some extra brackets in your code (line 102). leap year doesn't work, check your isLeapYear() code. For example, year 2000 was a leap year and 2000 modulus 4 is 0. So your check for for != 0 is incorrect if you're trying to find out if the supplied value (i guess it's a global /handslap)...

    TobyCat's winter buildup

    Good to see you again John! So after driving my car around for a month now a few things have crept up on me. 1. Clutch master died - replaced that and the slave last weekend 2. Front end 'creaks' going over bumps. It's driving me insane. I think I need to get it up on the hoist and lube up the...

    Canadian Turbo Rebuild Shops

    Just got quotes back from both of them, different guys so far ;) Kinetic: $400+ for rebuild, $200 upgrade ADP: $400-$600 for rebuild, $150 for upgrade. That seems pretty decent for rebuild/upgrade, especially since it's semi-local. Does anybody have any thoughts or advice on upgrades...

    Canadian Turbo Rebuild Shops

    Thanks for the link Black_Beauty - I fired off an email to ADP for a price quote. Arizzle: how long do you think until you pull out your turbo? I'm not in any sort of rush as I can limp a dying turbo for a while ... I drive like a grandma ;) fujimoto: I think the place was called Kinetic...

    Canadian Turbo Rebuild Shops

    Hey Guys, I'm looking for a Canadian shop to rebuild my turbo. The last turbo I got done was from Driftmotion - and was great. But between all the shipping costs/fees/exchange rate, it gets a bit pricey. Is there anything in Victoria/Vancouver that does good work? Potentially a honed out and...

    need coilover advice

    Excellent, an attempt at intelligent conversation. See, that wasn't so hard was it? I still don't understand how preloading a linear spring lessens the coilover's ability to absorb shocks. If I place 500lbs of force on a spring to compress it 1 inch, how much additional force would it take to...

    need coilover advice

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but pre-loading your springs is only an issue with non-linear spring rates. Since most (if not all?) coilovers I have used and read about have all had linear springs, then preloading them shouldn't make a difference. The only issue arises when you lower your car too low...

    Spring meet Vancouver!!!

    I had the same problem with coolant down the passenger side of the block. Check the rubber cap on the back/passenger side. It's where the RHD heater core hooks up...Mine was all gnarled and cracked from old age :) As for the meet, not sure if I'll be able to come out. I'll wait a bit for the...

    TobyCat's winter buildup

    It sure has been a long time since I've even thought about Supras, that's for sure! Anyways, I finally got rid of my little beater tercel and insured the Supra. It's been nearly 2 years since I parked her! Anyways, here is how she sits now. I pulled the car out of storage and looking pretty...
