    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    Got a gun question. How good is a Taurus PT 24/7 Pro 40 caliber. I went to a friend's pawn shop yesterday and traded my crappy Parker 40 plus $20 bucks. Altogether I paid 250 for the Parker when I bought it. It feels a lot better than the Parker and I do enjoy the thought of 15+1 rounds. I...

    trading a rx7 for a supra

    Alright another bama Supra. Welcome to the Forum. There are a few of us Supra owners around you. If I may suggest with any used cars look at rebuilding the motor if you intend to keep her for a bit. Hopefully this winter I can get started on building the other 7MGE I have. Slight thread...

    Greddy declared bankruptcy today

    Knock-offs did not bankrupt the company. Poor management and high prices did it. And with the economy in the toilet people are trying to save every penny they can. A lot of people are going to buy the knock-offs and use the money they saved for other purchases.

    Some Simple Tricks for Saving Money

    I few years back I started to make my own cigarettes. I calculated that I was spending between $180 to $200 a month on smokes. I went to a tobacco store and bought one of those kits by TOPS for $25 bucks. It takes me about a half an hour to make a pack of cigarettes and now I probably spend...

    New Job

    There's not a big import scene in T-town so I don't meet many Supra owners around here. I got an invite to Books-A-Million. I went once but it was nothing but a bunch of high schooler with too much attitude and not enough knowledge or brains. Also got a few invites to join car clubs. The only...

    New Job

    The shop is by Hargrove Rd and Loop Rd. Down the street from Mobile Electronics. I've been told Tracey is the guy to talk to about getting a good dyno tune. I'm hoping it works out because I'm about to order my .030 over 10.5:1 forged pistons and put my spare block and head into the machine shop.

    New Job

    For almost two years I have been working at Sears as a part time employee. I usually work from 32 to 38 hours a week at 5.50 plus commission which averages out to about $8 to $9 an hour without any benefits. About two months ago my friend gets a job as a manager at a shop. His job has been...

    Redneck Rebuild

    I'm keeping the offset so I can run slicks at the strip. As I said before the offset has increased the wheel stance giving me better traction.

    Redneck Rebuild

    I was running the same size tires on stock rims on the rear and the back end would lose grip in the twisties. The increased offset has widen the stance of the car and improved the traction considerably. I'll take traction and control over looks any day.

    Redneck Rebuild

    My car has been sporting the stock rims since I got her back on the road. Last week "Mid-Life Crisis" got a new set of shoes. The custom shop I hang out at had a set of rims and tires from a Chrysler Conquest sitting out back of the shop. The fronts were 225/50zr/16 and the backs were...

    Check under your hood before driving

    Squirrels are EVIL. I have Al-Acorn terrorist squirrels that blow themselves up on transformers and take out the power for blocks. Or they run out in front of you trying to cause you to have an accident. What's really sad is the squirrels on the U of A are smarter than some of the students....
