    Who else hates split shifts?

    Which is great; and I know other people who went from VERY well-paying union positions to management and made an even better living for themselves so there's definately the opportunity to do so. However, with that said; the unions generally due to provide more job security over...

    7mgte vs 600 Katana :3d_frown:

    He's on a stock turbo. With the mods done, he should be racing civics, not bikes.

    Who else hates split shifts?

    Again, not being pro-union as to be honest, it encourages laziness among some employees and an overly unjust sense of entitlement - But I think they DO have their place. The legal system doesn't work for everyone - That has been proven time and time again. Courts are generally speaking, a place...

    Who else hates split shifts?

    I'm not pro-union by any means, but they serve a purpose in some cases. Example; how much does say, a carpenter make where you live? Compare that to how much one makes where they're unionized(ie here) - For skilled trades, I believe they are necessary because you will ALWAYS have somebody who...

    Who else hates split shifts?

    I would hardly call it "hard" to find a job in the GTA right now. I see not hundreds; rather THOUSANDS of job openings here, so evidently it's a matter of being picky or not. And to the OP; Can't say I blame you. A unionized subsidiary of the company I work for just voted yes on a new...

    new camaro or 89 supra???

    However, maybe what - 1% of America follows that ideal? It's no wonder the country is in the shitters financially. Let's finance 150k worth of vehicles, a 300k home and maintain a lavish lifestyle, all while on a 50k income. It's ingenious, I tell you! Oh, PS: I'd never buy anything GM. Fuck...

    For starters, try spending more than $500 and I'm sure there will be plenty of cars available.

    question for people in automotive industry

    I used to be an apprentice mechanic. I got out of that after I realized there was no future and the "master" mechanic that had 30 years exp. was still only making 55k to work on shitboxes all day. And then there's times where you make nothing since you're not hourly per say...I wouldn't spend...

    Limit of Daily Driver HP??

    The owner/driver of the car determines what can and can't be daily driven. From power levels to basic maintenance to driving habits.

    Hmmm, go MKIV?

    I beg to differ. And no offense(me being an idiot and all), but apparently that mechanical engineering degree did nothing for you when it comes to any understanding of finances and investments. No wonder the world is in such an economic downturn, with wise folk like you making decisions like...

    Hmmm, go MKIV?

    My opinion...buying a 15 year old toyota for $20k+ is dumb.

    I'm just not happy with my Supra so far..

    2J's use metal head gaskets stock. And a big part of why the 7M has the HG problems that it does, is because of the torque specs - Not soley because it's a composite material. I've seen stock HG's torqued properly handle 400whp but they're very prone to failing under detonation which is why a...

    I'm just not happy with my Supra so far..

    Well put it this way... If you plan on going much past 400whp, you'll want bigger injectors - But on a 57 trim, your 440's will do fine if they're in good shape. You WILL want a walbro. And you don't want a lexus afm + safc combo, it's guesswork. With the AFPR you can tune past fuel cut...

    I'm just not happy with my Supra so far..

    The one thing that bothers me here is....not the poster, but some of the replies He doesn't need 550's, nor does he need a lexus AFM. A walbro might be a good idea though, and I'd say an AFPR would be a necessity People have been bashing our stock intercooler since I've been into these...
