The Kaminari front bumper would be way sexy, almost doesn't matter what sides are used. But seeing at least part of the Kaminari kit revived would be awesome.

I was going to say the same thing. WANT!

I've isolated that to either a bad sensor or a short in my cluster. I can fill it with coolant, and the light will turn on a few seconds after starting the motor. It makes me paranoid about BHG, even though it never burns coolant or goes above 1/2 on the temp gauge. I've even gone so far as to...

Hey, if you want to check out Berryessa, I'm always down for a cruise. Should be like an hour or so to Fairfield from Stockton, then it's about 2 or 3 to winters, napa, then back. Just don't mind my slow-ass truck.

It really depends on how much you shoot. I go through about 100 rounds each of .308, .45 ACP and .375 Winchester every time I go to the range, which is about every three weeks or so; a single stage loader therefore works very well for me. It takes me about a day, working pretty slowly, to reload...

If you live in Stockton, definitely take a day trip out to Angel's Camp and cruise Calavaras county for a while. Scout it out on google maps, it's not far away, and check the topography map for some wicked elevation changes. I'll also second the Berryessa loop up here, and take 131(?) over to...

That's pretty much what I did to my ct26 elbow when I took it off to swap my exhaust...just clamped a belt sander in a vice and hit the mating surfaces a couple times from two or three angles. I also cleaned the bulk of the carbon out of it with a wire brush dremel shank...figured I might as...

Anybody else notice that it's RHD? Fucking win. 2JZ? Winning harder.

Auto-darkening wins. It'll flip to black as soon as an arc is struck...but the light shade is sometimes a little hard to see through, especially if it's set for TIG welding. Still, I'm watching this thread closely. It's going to be amazing when it's done.

So today, I started some prep work on my front bumper. I shattered one side in my accident a few months back, and seeing as it's a one-off piece (Kaminari lower, molded to a shaved upper panel, then extended and widened) I figure I have to fix it. Here's how you do it, you'll need: Angle grinder...

Also, you won't need much in the way of tuning if you go with/already have the Lexus air meter. It's quite possible you already have it, seeing as how it's commonplace to replace the stocker with it at the same time as the 550cc upgrade, even more likely if the ct26 has been reworked with a...

Luckily (or un-, depends how you look at it) I have the opportunity to change the bodywork due to an accident. Which means I'm going to attempt to revert to stock tails, if I ever get around to sourcing a set of Euro 89+ pieces. I may just do acrylic laid in with the fiberglass...but I need to...

Aaaand here's the video: http://youtu.be/WHBXn-VbjZw Holy hell, that video tag makes that easy. Anyways, that's the beast as she sits right now...just welded up a flange to the melon cannon, popped it on, warmed up the car and shot the video on my phone. Used a bar clamp to steady the...

Astounding. I like that your fabricator is using sheetmetal for the widebody; fiberglass crushes very easily. I'm in the process of fixing just such a crushing accident, and was thinking about doing something similar to the metal cage your guy built for reinforcement. Also, what are the specs...

Welcome to the forums! When I bought mine, it rolled over to 130k as I pulled into the driveway...so almost the exact same mileage. (Btw, that's considered low? Awesome.) You'll find that the community is really good around here, and full of helpful folks and threads that'll make the 2JZ swap...

...I had a stroke of genius. Black plumbing/couplings and use brass clamps. Not gold, but still baller.

Just a thought, but if there's a school like WyoTech or UTI around, they may have a day (usually around orientation) where you can pull in and do a couple free pulls. WyoTech in Sac did about a year back...my buddy got his VR4 tuned that day for $100, which is what he tipped the guy that had an...

"Oh that? That's the terrorstat. It's connected to this webcam sensor in your visor so I know how hard to punch it to make you freak out." ^ Serious business. My sister was pointing at my stock boost gauge.

Corn is delicious. Cornbread is easily one of my very favorite things, and corn is also a key ingredient in shepard's pie. It doesn't seem to do too well in my backyard, however. But someone mentioned tomatoes and not liking them, which is the exact opposite: they grow in my backyard with...

That is easily one of the sexiest things I've ever seen. It'd go great with some matching valve covers, hose clamps, and maybe the intake plumbing. Seriously sick lookin, like most everything on your car.
