    New Car

    Looked at the SC300, but its a bit too small for my purposes. I need to be able to swap cars with my mom from time to time, and she usually totes around 2 or 3 people with her. It's hard to find a 98+ GS in my area for less than 7K though. Well, the guy listed it at $6700, and I told him $6000...

    First Car, Favorite Car, Dream Car

    First Car: 1989 Toyota Supra Turbo Favorite car I've owned: Same as above, when it ran, only a matter of time before it runs again... Affordable Dream car: Very well kept 1992 Toyota Cressida with a 2JZ-GTE conversion, 1989-1992 basic model Supra stripped down with a 2JZ-GTE, 6-Speed in it...

    New Car

    Ever since I wrecked my daily driver awhile back, I have been looking for a new car. My mom keeps helping me and has given me a $7K budget to buy a car. So I am trying to find a car that she would love to drive. I am currently looking at a 1998 Lexus GS 300 with high mileage. 145K, needs some...

    BE ADVISED: New Phishing Scam (I got hit with it personally)

    Yeah the scammers are getting pretty fearless. Just the other day I deleted an obvious Paypal scam-email saying my account was restricted blah blah blah... Well it was obvious to me because I've seen it before. The link goes to somewhere other than paypal.com, hosting a log in page that looks...

    Easier Swap?

    :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: at this thread... Why? Because I haven't been around Supramania for a long time, and this made me laugh. I'm going to undertake a JZ swap soon. Because the Mark 3 is cooler than a S2K and IS300 freak-love-child. The 7M is cool, but not cool enough...

    2JZGTE MKIII Swap Info

    Hmm. If putting a 2JZ-GTE into a Mark 3 is equivalent to buying both the 1JZ-GTE AND 2JZ-GTE, financially 1JZ-GTE makes sense. So 1JZ-GTE for me it is. Just gotta get all the funds together and source it. I assume a 1.5JZ is a 1JZ-GTE with a 2JZ-GE block or something to that effect? Oh, and...

    2JZGTE MKIII Swap Info

    oOoOh... Great thread. I've been recently looking into doing a JZ swap since my car has not run for some 5 years now. Long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, I wanted to keep it 7M. I tried picking up parts over the years, piecing things together and all that, we all know how this ends up. I...

    Yay, Another speeding ticket.

    Sierra Madre.. Up near the 210? Around Glendora? Mine is an alleged 50 in a 30 in Whitter, Turnbull Canyon Road. Los Angeles County automatically gives you a 60 day extension that you can do online at lasuperiorcourt.org. There is an online guide somewhere (I can't find it right now) that can...

    Yay, Another speeding ticket.

    What's with the sarcasm? I KNOW I could outrun radio waves in a Neon :evil2:. Which is another reason why I stopped, cause if he had a buddy at the bottom, I'd be fucked anyway. So what's the point? He didn't, but again, I ran the calculated risk, and decided against trying it. But the road I...

    Yay, Another speeding ticket.

    Good point Grim.. But just looking over the politics, I start getting dizzy. Special Interest groups, officer associations endorsing red light cameras and lower speed limit bills, etc. Oyi..... Maybe I should run for a local office? Sometimes, since it is a revenue generator, the politicians and...

    Yay, Another speeding ticket.

    DISCLAIMER: Diatribe follows, read at your own risk: I've heard of cop cars having all this crazy stuff under the hood etc, Liquid nitrogen injection, Propane tanks for extra burning, etc, yet when the CHP (or LA Sheriffs I forget which) and Michigan State Troopers do their annual vehicle...

    Why are cops dickheads?

    Depends on what channel their radio is turned to.:biglaugh:. I just wrote about me being written up for speeding and how the cop LITERALLY said it was his ability to drive that made me slow down. What I should have said was "no, I slowed down so you'd feel better about touching yourself at...

    Yay, Another speeding ticket.

    Another Speeding ticket. So I guess I'll vent a bit here. I'm still in the middle of fighting my last moving violation. Going canyon running, I see a cop and I slow down, deciding it's not worth it to run. The car ahead of me has bolted, and it's gone. I know I could have beaten him down the...

    Transmisson Controller

    Hmm. It's been awhile since I was back here. Most notably, the source for everything Supra, not just MK3's. Plus I'm still dismantling that NA Supra in my garage, haven't gotten around to it because of school :biglaugh:. Anyhow, I was going over my mental list of when I restore my 89 Turbo, and...

    Colin McRae passed away.

    Well it was news to me.... I found out a couple days ago... You're damned right in saying there was little publicity..

    Colin McRae passed away.

    Did anybody hear about this yet? I did a search and no topics came up, but I just thought you'd might want to know that Colin McRae, passed away with his 5 year old son Johnny and 2 others when the helicopter McRae was believed to be piloting crashed outside his home in Scotland. He was a great...

    Favorite Cigar

    Depending on who you ask, as swisher is not a "fine" cigar. To me, I've smoked everything from Dutchmaster's to Cubans. I would prefer not to tear anything up at the level of or better than something low end like a Padron 5000 just to get high. That being said, my absolute favorite has got to...

    Test drove a redneck mobile today!!!!!!!!11111

    I heard (and I may be wrong) that C4's tend to be more fickle than other gens of Vette's. Especially since they were built during GM's not-so-golden years, build quality and longterm longevity are questionable. GM's built in the 90's had more engine problems than anything, but that was more...
