To say they were ahead of their time is a bit of an understatement. About the only thing I appreciate on my parent's ~$50k+ newer Chevy diesel that my car never had the option for is adjustable pedals. How much easier would heel/toe driving be if you could adjust where your gas and brake pedals...

Bwahaha, glad I'm not the only one who thought to do that. Speaking of which, Clint... I'm pretty sure I still owe you and the missus a turkey baster. :rofl:

Comparing apples and cucumbers here aren't we? I thought the 240 had a completely different suspension type up front? Either way, thanks for clearing up the geometry question. :)

C4 Corvette had one at the time. You know what it also had? A chassis about as stiff as a noodle. If you jacked up the car with said roof in place, you'd break the targa panel because the car wanted to fold in on itself. :nono: C5 Corvette also had a glass targa option, but I'm pretty sure they...

Mike, if you are planning on replacing the setup next year, why not save the money now and do it how you want sooner than later? Given that any money spent on a turbo upgrade now would keep you from that goal... it's what I would do. Remember, having a solid plan will save you a lot of time and...

I think I must have misread, I thought he meant running a taller tire than stock. Nevermind. :)

Anyone else irritated that the plugs aren't just a little bit longer? How the hell is one supposed to get these things plugged back in easily? :p Inbeforeoneofthegrumpssays"don'tunplugitinthefirstplace". :rofl:

You do when your name is IJ! You should see some of the stuff he's built over the years... :rofl:

Rather a fan of the Greddy knob that came with my car. Wanna talk weighted? I dropped mine once, there were reports of minor earthquakes... ...not really, but it did chip out a nice chunk of concrete from the sidewalk. :p Only problem, it's pretty much solid steel (other than the hole in the...

$9900 at the end of the auction it seems. What's funny, I can almost swear a friend of mine (he has a knack for finding crazy clean 80's/90's Japanese sports cars) almost bought this very car after selling his immaculate 89 240sx... Hope the new owner takes care of her. :)

Sorry to hear this bud, I still remember the first time my 88 was hit, my stomach about sank to my ankles. Was enjoying an otherwise great evening with friends at Village Inn, texting the girl I was with at the time, and my ears perked up when I heard the staff mention, "I wonder who's Toyota...

That is the color I've had my heart set on for a long while now. Color code 6L9 I believe. If anyone wanted to see what purple-blue-black looks like, here ya go, my car:

Make a table out of it. ;)

No worries man, I have enough CF parts I could probably build a plane at this point. :p Same here man, but I honestly can't think of anything that I'd really want in carbon at this point... which is a good thing I think. :) I've kinda noticed that too. Hopefully they move a bit up market as a...

2005-ish Corolla had a similar wheel, you won't pay an arm/leg for it, and they're common as all hell. Airbag compatibility I have no idea on (and really after being hit with one a decade ago, I have no desire to meet one again haha), but the horn part is fairly easy. Should just be a one wire...

So, does this plan do irreversible things to suspension geometry? Meaning, would the car be of any use outside of a track, or are you pretty much converting your car to a toy? These are things that people might want to know. :) I'll be up front, I really have no need for this, as I've always...

Reminds me of my custom plate... that arrived the day after the head gasket went on me. :p As for me, ordered the Tial Q BOV and Tial MV-R wastegate from THMotorsports (hit up Jonathan there, has done quite well by me!), and picked up a US-made 3" v-band clamp from work, Caterpillar part #...

Could be a dragging parking brake. Wheel bearings and differential in good shape? I'd check the car with the rear wheels in the air to make sure things spin freely, things that are supposed to be tight are, etc...

I'm still confused on the not boosting in overdrive talk. What about salt flat cars? I'd be surprised if anything but their first or second gear are anything but an overdrive gear... yet you don't see them blowing up every time they make a pass. Sure, a lot of them are dedicated cars, but I've...

So... what you're saying is that it probably isn't the best choice for a steak marinade? :dunno:
