I got a new camera in the middle of the winter. This is the first time I have had the camera and car in the same place. The car was brought out of storage yesterday and will soon undergo some minor cosmetic changes. The setting isn't very creative. I moved in with my uncle for the summer and...

Well it has been snowing like hell here for the last few days. Before tomorrow morning we should have an additional 30 cm on top of what we already had. I took some pictures cause I am bored as hell. lol I am glad I don't have anywhere to go tomorrow until after 5. So hows the weather...

Well I just got an American one in mine. For the first time in my life I was on the negative end of it. Normally I would be kinda cheerful about it and think "sweet...I got more change than I deserved". Well I just got another quarter in my change and guess what I...

I'm looking to buy a torque wrench for the rebuild I have planned but I don't know what range of torque capacities I need. I would assume the head torque would most likely be the highest but I don't know how low it needs to go. I was hoping to only need one wrench but will get both if need be...

Ok, I guess it’s time to make one of these. I’m basically going to use this thread to show where I’ve come from and where I’m going. I will start off with my first car. 1992 Civic…I know what you will all say but hey, I was 15. I bought the car with 100&#37...

I just ran across these on ebay and I had never seen them before. They are priced @ ~650 and are certainly bright and shiny. lol I was wondering if anyone was currently running them and could provide their impressions. Also, any of the members on here with alot of knowledge about coil overs...

I just want to see what they look like on red Mk3's. I'm trying to decide which 89+ lights to buy and it comes down to which set looks better on a red car. So please post up pics of red Supra's with JDM lights and a few USDM lights just for comparison purposes. lol I would also prefer grey...

Well I took my car to get an alignment today. All bushings are seized. I have now ordered poly bushings to replace the stockers and the shop has started to rip it all apart. This is going to be one VERY LARGE BILL. lol On the upside, the car will handle better, stop better and get better...

Oh hell ya! This guy came out to a local mini meet here in Toronto last night. This car was probably the most popular car of the night. Clean body/interior as well as install. He is running the twins at stock boost but that is more than enough for this ~2600 lb car. He is using a R154...

Well I have had the rims on for a few weeks and have been driving around and enjoying them. Figured it was about time to post up some pics. These were taken a little too late in the day because I was driving around randomly looking for a decent spot. Didn't find this place till after 6:30. I...

Disclaimer: This was probably just a really vivid dream I had. :) My car: 7M turbo, DDP, exhaust, intake and MBC with 10-12 lbs depending on gear. The engine is also low compression in 4 cylinders. The 1JZ: LHD TT, 3" exhaust (cat back) We each had a passenger and overall passenger...

Hey guys I need to know what tire would fit an 8" rim with no bulge. I have 225's on my Mk4 N/A wheels and there is a slight bulge but my friend has 245's on some wheels and they fit with very little bulge. I am looking at either a 245/40/17 or a 225/45/17. Please let me know...ordering the...

Hey guys, I need to fix my camber issues before I spend $1000 in tires just to have them wear out. The problem is that my alignment bolts are frozen inside the bushings and can't be adjusted. I want to know what my options are. For example, what stock components need to be replaced...

Well, now that I have paid for the wheels and they have shipped I figured I would share my newest purchase with you. Stern 5 spoke 17x8 +25 front 17x9 +39 rear These should sit 4mm further out than the regular 8.5 +35 that many people are running. I think they should fit well and be...

I think I have found some wheels that I am ready to buy, just need to make sure this front offset will fit. I crunched the numbers and this looks to be right on the edge. The wheels...17 x 8 +25 offset on the front. The rears I know will fit because they are +39 and 9" wide. I would prefer...

I found this site while trying to compare different wheels that I was considering. It doesn't have every wheel or every size but it's certainly a good start. Hope this helps somebody. http://www.wheelweights.net/

I bought a set of slotted rotors last year and have just gotten around to installing them. My question concerns the rust that could possibly form on the rotor hats. I would like to know if Brembo rotors come with a zinc or similar coating that prevents such corrosion from occuring. It would...

Just took the car for a drive...noticed oil burning. When I would decellerate to a stop light I would leave it in gear and let off from ~3500 rpm to 2000 rpm. Doing this would cause the car to billow blue smoke. It is my understanding that this is the result of worn piston rings (220,000km)...

I just bought a set of traction arms off ebay for 250 CDN including shipping. After a week or so they show up and tell me I owe 82.79 in border fees and delivery. Is it just me or is that a little much? I've paid border fees before but they have never exceeded $20 or so. Is there anyone I...

I needed a vehicle to get to and from school in the winter and to work in the summer. I feel bad piling all the miles on my Supra and I don't think it would remain reliable if I used it as a daily. So... 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP Teal Green on black leather, Heads Up Display, polished 16"...
