    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    Barrel is a bit long for home defense IMHO, looks at the 88 security. From what I've seen, the model 88 is a cheaper version of the mossberg 500 made in Mexico (but assembled in Texas so it says made in Texas). Many of the 500 parts fit from what I've seen as well meaning abundant spare parts...

    Clutch release hub clip problem

    Yeah, mine is from personal experience as well. Personal experience that most shops suck ass and don't have a clue outside of ALLDATA. Mine was a huge fiasco. Bought the car with a new clutch. Clutch snap ring popped off. Get the clutch repaired (they said it needed changing so me being...

    Anyone think of a good reason the 1j wasn't put in USDM Supras?

    Completely different price point though. While the miata is nice, it's very much a stripper car with very few things to go wrong.

    Are coilovers really worth it?

    Most of the stock suspension travel is droop when you jack it up anyway.

    I bought another Geo Metro

    The reason plastic headlights yellow is because the clear plastic they use is UV sensitive (and can oxidize as well). To protect them, they apply a coating that protects them from UV and stops them from oxidizing. Get a rock chip, and it's like getting a chip in your paint, you lose the...

    I bought another Geo Metro

    Incorrect, larger reflector and better lense, but as they're plastic they yellow when not taken care of leading to lower output.

    mk4 brakes to mk3

    So far as I know, yes you can bolt up the MKIV hubs, but they move the wheel's position in a non-ideal way.

    Sounds like you only got the turbo? It's supposed to have an adapter to bolt it on, a new exhaust elbow that will bolt to a stock downpipe, and the oil/coolant lines.

    Anyone think of a good reason the 1j wasn't put in USDM Supras?

    There's not a whole lot of people on these forums that owned a MKIII when new, but any failure AFTER the warranty isn't covered unless it's a safety issue. Also, most HG failures I've seen are from age/milage and/or bumping the boost up. Was the torque spec a bit low? Sure. Was it the HUGE...

    OMG yay SNOW!!

    Generally speaking it's a compound issue. - Not enough infrastructure to deal with the rare winter weather (plows, salt/sand trucks, manpower). - Temperature isn't cold enough to keep it snow, so it melts and then refreezes as ice. - Snow/ice is rare, so people don't invest in snow tires, and...

    mk4 brakes to mk3

    Or wilwoods, which are better. Hence the wilwoods. Same price and the wilwoods are lighter and arguably more modern. Not saying the MKIV brakes are bad, they were the best brakes in their class back then (beating out Porsche, etc)
