    89+ lip on pre 89 ???

    garden liner i believe is a plastic (abs?) that you use to contain a garden, commonly a garden near a walkway or lawn that would spill over. you put it in around a bunch of fresh dirt...or any garden for that matter... and it makes a clean looking border to hold your dirt where you put it...

    emphasis on the EMPTY part...somehow i see someone forgetting this and getting a 30 gallon load flopping down on their chest.....:runaway:

    Where did the Mk 2 & 3 get their styling?

    what year camaro and what year firebird? 85 ish? if so then i think i like the camaro. but somehow the personal image of the firebird/trans-am seems better. cameros are everywhere. i saw a firebird the other day...i really liked it. so maybe the firebird? it all depends on the color and...

    89+ lip on pre 89 ???

    yeah i like it to...but would it be a bad idea to go to that over the stock one? i have a decent stock front lip but i like that one. weezl - did you lower your ride height at all? u can PM me so the thread stays on topic.

    drilling the trunk

    why should there be? more room would either sacrafice ground clearance or trunk room anyway.

    drilling the trunk

    well think of it this way, you're removing weight from the left and moving it to the center, therefore increasing the ratio between the weight on the left and right sides. I dont know the stock weight distributions, much less the left-right ratio... i would think an engineer would take...

    Where did the Mk 2 & 3 get their styling?

    3000gt? how? aside from getting them to make a competing car that could stick with the supra...what else? i guess the whole shape is similar but the front is so much more round...as is the whole car. mitsubishi did give theirs that black strip though... makes it look like the front is...

    89+ lip on pre 89 ???

    mine is bent. :( or someone attatched it wrong. i need to repaint it...i was driving out of a parking lot to fast (very steep exitway) and scraped it... yeah i think i like the older ones as well. i still can't decide on the taillights though... dunno which year i like most on that one.

    Where did the Mk 2 & 3 get their styling?

    I agree on that firebird and the corvette as well. There is a local corvette that i've been looking at and its body lines remind me a lot of the mk3 supra. the front doesnt, neither to the taillights, but the general shape and angles of the car save for the steeper slant of the vette in the...

    drilling the trunk

    you could use a crapload of super sticky double-sided tape, and i mean a lot. I cant take responsibility for it if something goes wrong but you could at least consider taping it down to a freshly washed surface with some sord of permanent adhesion. I still wouldnt reccomend doing so without...

    89+ lip on pre 89 ???

    since we're talking about the front end... what about the whole front bumper? not the frame inside, but just the front plastic parts that got changed. i'm assuming that you could just unbolt the plastic front bumper and replace with a newer year with the new styling and split front grille...

    What should I do while the head is off to prevent more problems??

    What should I do while the head is off to prevent more problems??

    well i dont think i'll risk complication at this time... i can wait. i wont be racing or anything and i'd rather do it later anyway. i want to hear her run and that will only slow that process down. I lost the feeling of having a car...i'm to the point where getting it to run again will feel...

    What should I do while the head is off to prevent more problems??

    lol...sry man. chances are we will finish around the same time... unless this impound thing is serious and might actually happen...to a crippled car...? heh...you could take it apart and deny that you have a car... "I have a pile of metal...that's it, i swear!" I'd get a new starter but...

    What should I do while the head is off to prevent more problems??

    coolio, thanks a lot. I'd try using the belt for leverage but i dont want to risk damaging it. i'll try the wrench thing.

    What should I do while the head is off to prevent more problems??

    yeah by what you guys are telling me i dont think i'm going to do it. and the starter thing is a good (albeit risky) idea. I like the tranny thing...i was trying to move the crank to get to TDC and couldn't...then my dad said; "Is the tranny in gear?" yeah...i felt kinda silly. jazz- what...

    What should I do while the head is off to prevent more problems??

    yes i see the assembly of it all. thanks IJ, and jazzsaxman, i've looked and based on what i see and confirmed by IJ i dont think the belt can be removed or replaced without removing said parts :( if there is a good tool i could find to hold the main pully or "dampener" i will do a timing...

    What should I do while the head is off to prevent more problems??

    dampener? i'm guessing that's the little plate that's behind the bolt on the main pulley? I wasn't even thinking of how to pull it off, i was thinking of the SST that allows you to hold the pully/shaft steady while you proceed to unbolt the thing...without it the driveshaft will just spin...

    Can you start it?

    do you just have an itch to hear it run or what?
