    The other rides at the house

    My, what pointy ears you have... :p Looks like fun. :)

    Supracharged Prerunner

    My apologies man, I can tell it is a serious rig in the making, I didn't mean to imply otherwise. :) What you have going on is EXACTLY why I just don't "do" trucks. I can't afford to start another addiction. :p

    Metal Heads Unite!

    Have seen them at least 4 times, probably 5 though. I really wish I knew what I did with my old concert ticket stubs... Would see them again for sure. They played a few years back at our local annual "fesival" (read: beer drinking event :nono: ), but unlike all the country bands that play, they...

    Sad day for my celica :(

    AC just not working well on yours? Surely Wes could fix that for you... unless it didn't come with it in the first place, which I would find odd. Look on the bright side though, you live in a city of 5 million + people, something stupid is bound to happen to that car if you drive it long enough...

    Not sure where to post this message... so this seems a safe start..

    I agree with IJ's sentiments, as long as it is done nicely. If I had a dollar for every time I saw an SBC hastily stuffed into a car that didn't come with one, half assed, and leaving puddles bigger than pancakes everywhere it parks... well, I wouldn't have to work. :p Welcome back though. :)

    New to 1JZ swap idea, please help

    You say all that now... all those big bad diesel guys think they're fast (in relation to other trucks, sure), because the torque makes them feel fast, but in reality, a decently powerful car with at least half the power will eat them alive most of the time. Hence, my Hello Kitty sticker...

    what is this and where does it go?

    Something to do with AC perhaps? Any other angles of the picture, so it is more obvious what you're talking about? I'm guessing it is the plug that looks to be about 3/4" diameter, 1-1.5" in length, in the top-right corner of the picture? Edit: What engine is this on? If it's a 1j, it might...

    Upgraded rad and fan for 2j?

    Fix that, first off. Remember that any air that can go around the radiator, will. Make sure it goes through the radiator. I have a PWR (about as thick as they come for the Mk3) and a 1j. Clutch fan is out of the question in my case. However, I have an OEM setup from a Ford Contour, that is...

    Bring back the Kaminari 3 piece spoiler???

    Err... good luck man. I would love to see it happen, but I'm neither in a position or personal desire to help with this one. Heck with it, I say, in the name of cost effectiveness. My Regulus has no mounting hardware, but that hasn't stopped us. If you know what you're doing, mounting a spoiler...

    TE37 rims help.?

    Think you would need more tire if you had less wheel? Rubber bands only offer so much grip, right? That said... it looks good. And you might be the first person I've ever seen with such an aggressive setup say that "less would be better". :p

    7MGTE headgasket blew...what should i do next?

    When the engine comes from a 92 Supra, and it was going into the 89 I have... merely needed to wire it into the body harness. If you know what you're doing, and happen to have stuff laying around the shop that you can make work, then it really isn't as hard or expensive as you make it seem...

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Looks like you work at a Toyota dealer. Wish ours was as classy, it is in a former grocery store. :p If my buddy Rich and myself get together, we have 5 Supras between the two of us. Four Mk3's, and one Mk2. All but one (my 87) run too. :) I dig the AZSC sticker on the valve cover... gives me...

    The Small Questions Thread

    73709 is merely the bracket that holds the seat belt latch for the rear seats. I just took them out of my 87 yesterday, there are two of them. What I still don't understand, is where is this "third mounted high for the top tether system" that you speak of? I've never seen that part, or anywhere...

    MKIII Models wanted...

    I'll see what I can come up with. Buddy of mine recently took some pictures of my car downtown by the train station, some of the ones I got turned out alright, but he has a much nicer camera setup. Just waiting for him to get done working nights... I'll let you know when he stops by next.

    2JZ S14 240SX.... aka "UGR Lambo Killer"

    I had a bit of experience in a 95 S14, it was a nice car too. The few 97/98 cars I've seen up close seem really nice too, and if I were to ever buy a 240, that would be the one, unless for some reason an S15 was a realistic proposition. Certainly rare, you make a good point there. I can...

    Metal Heads Unite!

    Godsmack is also another really good live band, saw them at Ozzfest 2000, shortly before their second album was released. Back then it really meant something to hear NEW music. :) I am aware of their cover of PF's "Time", but what other covers did they do of PF? Tool... hadn't really thought...

    Sad day for my celica :(

    Sorry to see this man. Long as you're ok, your DD can be replaced. They made about 60 million Celicas of this generation though, so if you really want another, there ya go. Miata is also another acceptable answer, as it almost always is. For the money, you could probably get yourself a nice...

    1946 Chevy Fleetmaster 2-door, meet "Betty"...

    Pictures as promised: Couple things about the interior: -Yes, I have the original interior. Yes, it could be restored. Yes, it would be fairly comfortable, however... -You sit even higher up (I'm not tall, as mentioned), and your head will hit the roof if you're sitting in the...

    Been awhile since I've been on here. Got a question for all of you.

    Eh, I dunno about the SR20... I've seen a few of them really well done, and from a handling perspective, they are well suited to the car (imagine that), but unless we're talking a bit built up or one of the newer NEO or VET variants, they're a little on the weak side.

    Wiring Harness Grommet?

    Here you go: And no, I'm just all over the forum with the exception of a few sections. I try to help out where I can, or point people to where they can find help when I have time. :)
