    REIGN's REBUILD! Its a beautiful thing... (THAT IS FOR SALE) =(

    Just remember, its a car. It can wait. Like most of us on here even if you had it running last year you would probably have put it on jack stands to do even more shit to it. You've got nothing to prove man so dont sweat it.

    Check your lines. If your going back into the gas tank check the hoses on it, or maybe you did what i did and forgot to plug the harness all the way in until it clicks.... From there i'd just double check your rail.

    Over Drive lamp blinking and speedmeeter is dead!

    Well are you 5spd or auto. I had the exact same issue and thought it was just one of the two pieces. But theres actually a 90 degree fitting coming off of the auto tranny connecting to 1st section of the speedometer cable. Go under the car and disconnect the cable from underneath there should...

    If less than 100k miles with no major needed repairs (including head gasket) 5k. Otherwise it would just drop from there.

    A dump

    You eat a lot of protein IJ? I must not get enough because the brown dragons dont leave much of a trace. Except for my butt cheeks. Havent needed to use air freshener of any sort before. Just think though, that steaming pile of shit you've left behind, you ate all of that at one point.

    CNC career advice

    Worked in a machine shop for a while and less than a third of the work actually involved a computer. You really just design the part you want in solidworks (or its designed for you by the engineer) and export it to something like fiji i think it was... The program just picks tool sizes and tool...

    Wow...Just turned 18 (Does that still make me clueless?)

    clueless until you move out and get a job. Welcome to the beginning of the yellow brick road. You've only made it to the stage where you get your training wheels taken off. The rest is what you make of it.

    What in the heck is this growing in my head?

    That is one clean head by the way. Are those elevated in the back? if its bumpy aluminum sticking outwards it looks like a casting defect. Not too familiar with how toyota had their heads cast but i know that with the sand castings if a tiny bit breaks off the mold then you'd get a small...

    When did model years change over?

    registration dates and production dates are very different things. What is your point of reference for this, do you have an actual production date or is it just when the car left the lot and was registered to an owner in a certain state?

    Targa people, would you be interested in...

    Dont take it so personally, I dont mean disrespect. The man asked for an honest opinion and that was it. If a giant dildo on my hood actually managed to add a slight amount of rigidity to my car that isnt enough for me to go out and buy it. I'll rest my case there.
