Any moron can buy a pair of subs and an amp, then throw in a rap CD and be "king of bass". (Hell, my 4 year old daughter could "design" a system like that). It takes a whole lot more thought, planning, and install skills to create a well rounded system. When kids come into parking lots...

What bumper is that?

Read this, and make sure you have sticky tires and a LSD rear diff.

I swear, you never know what to expect when IJ posts. :)

I had a wrist pin come apart in the #5 cylinder of my old GE engine, and I can tell you that the piston DEFINITELY slapped the head. :D

Once you get the bolts out, you're going to have to separate the tranny from the engine. A pry bar or BIG screwdriver will help with that. Since you're doing this alone, I'd highly recommend getting your hands on a tranny jack to help you maneuver the tranny in and out of the car. You may...

Hopefully, you're not dropping this tranny by yourself. If you are, I'd recommend getting another hand or two to help you remove it from the car. Also, you may need to get the same hand or two to help you put it back in the car; as lining the tranny up with the engine isn't much fun under the...

...and it's still so slow that it can't even get out of it's own way..... :D

Call around. I called a local glass place, and they quoted me $75+ to swap the rear glass. The next place I called was a body shop, and they quoted me $50 so they got the job. They even used the best trim from both hatches when they reinstalled the glass. I'd call glass places and body...

I needed a glass for my rear hatch, and the lowest quote I got from my local glass stores was $460+ for a used glass! I found a complete hatch on ebay for $75 just one state over from me. I bought that hatch, picked it up, and a local body shop only charged $50 to pull the glass out of the...

No need for a lift to do an engine swap. A GOOD jack, some jack stands, and an engine hoist (a garage helps too) are all that's needed to swap an engine.

I'm an insurance agent at an independent agency, and Progressive just happens to be one of the companies that we represent. With Progressive, when it comes time to pay out a claim, they usually are very quick and efficient; and have a claims representative on his way to you the same day you...

There's some good pics on this site.

I pretty much followed this guide when I did my engine swap. It really was a time saver. In answer to your questions, the alternator can stay on the engine. Following the advice from the thread I linked, I took the power steering and A/C pumps off the engine and laid them on the frame...

I bought a turbo tach from someone on here when I did my GTE swap, and that saved me a lot of time. (I can't remember what I spent, but I know it wasn't much). The tachs are easy to swap, and are plug and play when done. If you decide to swap tachs, just post a thread in the WTB section...

^^^ If it sticks out THAT far, forget whether or not it drones; I wouldn't put one on my car anyway.

You own a Supra that you don't have to wrench on? Unbelievable!!! :D My daily driver isn't much to look at, but I'm buying one so that I'll finally quit dropping wrenches, sockets, and stuff down by the intercooler. It's a pain to try to get my big hands in there and fish my tools back out...

Well, that didn't take long. :) Waiting to hear back about the group buy.

A carbon fiber piece for $50? Count me in as well!!!

Does the Chinaman exhaust drone at all while you're driving down the highway?
