    What was the very first car you ever owned?

    A Pinto! Dude, could you not have just let someone lightly bump into your car from the back to have solved the entire problem with the rusty gas tank!? (They were the car notorious for exploding on minor rearend collisions were they not? Or is it the Gremlin that I am thinking of, or Pacer? Damn...

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nAj2KzJoK8 1984 k-car. Except mine was a four door and a total POS, but it never did die on me ever. Felt like it had all of 23 HP. Make that ground shaken gerbil wheel burning 23 HP!

    H&R Springs for drag racing?

    I drag H&R and honestly like em. I am running Bilstien's for struts. They need to be rebuilt. I also had bad camber but was unable to do anything about that up until now. I just got my new camber bolts. The old ones were stuck. But when everything was fresh and just installed I really loved...

    Would you wear this?

    I would, without the &m part though. Even if I was 7m I wouldn't want that part on it, just from a design point of view it looks out of place to me.

    Wilwood caliper creaking sound?

    Here's a link to the stock MKIII front brake assembly. I know you have Wilwoods, but I am betting they have something very similar to the "sliding bushing" depicted here and that would be the part I am betting needs some gentle careful lubricating.

    5 years of Supra ownership... How long have you been in the game?
