I'm with this guy on this one. We had a member on here a while back who did this. In the end I think he sold the car, or parted it out, I forget, but it was badass. His forum name was Syst if I remember correctly. Another benefit to this (other than the beautiful sound), the LS motors take well...

Coming from someone who hasn't had them in a while, they do come in handy on occasion, at least if you live somewhere that "streetlight" is a dirty word. ;) Uhhh... just what ARE you doing to the poor car? :naughty:

I see the problem with the seat, but the bracket appears to be able to be used on either side of the car. As for the seat, something to consider from a business perspective. It would make no sense for Corbeau to make a seat for the left side of the car AND the right side of the car. I would be...

Interesting bit about the thermo siphon... learned something new today. Would suck to burn off any coolant from the sounds of it though. Even though you may not *need* to allow for a cool down period like you needed to back in the day, it wouldn't cause problems would it? Other than burning a...

Wonder why they won't do a rebuild for you? How is it any different from you living in Japan and mailing them to the manufacturer for rebuild? Your third party idea might work, but you would have to be able to trust the person... not the best way to do business unless you REALLY know that you...

Very nice looking, quite period correct too...

You'll have to let me know what you think of it, I have one too, but it won't be in the car any time soon... they seem pretty awesome though! Err... how big is that tire in the passenger seat? At least I think it is a tire...

Read the "JZ swap for dummies" thread in the JZ section (even if you're not a dummy, lot of good info in there) for starters. Three things I've learned in the last few years of daily driving a 1j: -Replace all the gaskets and rubber parts now, when the engine is out of the car. Same goes for...

Lonnie, I have a 48 Chevy in the garage as we speak. I think I missed the boat on buying up "leftover new stock" parts. :rofl:

Do yourself a favor, don't jump on the first car you find. I would be SO much further along in my quest with my car if I had just bought my 88 back instead of the heap I have now. Agreed on the concave face on the wheels looking good Joel. However, for that much money, you would be kind of...

Hey, another Mk4 to add to the list. Looks like you have a pretty solid plan (and wife approval haha), what Nittos did you go with?

445whp in a Mazda 3 chassis? Good Lord man... my girlfriend has one (non turbo, and an auto unfortunately), and the chassis is great, but I can't imagine having to deal with that much power in a FWD application. To the OP, head work is not cheap, but if done well, is a VERY good option to...

You know, if you really want to be king of the hill (so to speak), look into more modern turbo technology. Both Comp and Garrett have some rather impressive turbos these days. Prices might be a bit more steep, but if you're looking for the best of the best, there you go. ;) The old Greddy...

You know, the trouble really is finding a combination of size, offset, and style. Very rarely do I come across a set of used wheels that fit all three requirements. If I could find a *decent* set of magnesium wheels that could even be made to work (I would be a lot more flexible on offsets and...

What is preventing you from using this passenger seat on the driver side? Is flipping the bracket 180° a possibility? If nothing else, check with THMotorsports on here, Jonathan might be able to help you out here.

I figure a 300cc bike would be enough for me if I were to ever buy one, I'm light enough. Does "slow car fast" apply to the bike world too? Kinda strange, Kawasaki doesn't mention power output or redline on that bike. Compression seems a bit low to me too, I thought most bikes were in the 12:1...

You mean the fact that it takes 3 hours to watch/play a 1 hour game doesn't already? Gotta be something to take that long. Personally I prefer hockey or soccer, where ONE point is as good as the ONLY point in that game. That, and the only thing that stops the game for more than a moment is if...

Err... in what world is anything about that car stock, as the video's title suggests? I've never seen a velocity stack in the bumper for an intake that wasn't connected to a turbo. ;)

Check celicasupra.com sir, you'll have better luck looking through their classifieds section than ours.

I read all the technical specs that people have posted on the xkcd forum, it is rather impressive, the scope of it. :)
