Well meow, don't let me stop you if you have access to a lift, by all means, use it! Oh, and I see what you're doing here. ;)

Another thing that makes me wonder, my car made its peak power at redline. This was with the stock twins, but only at 12ish psi. Kinda makes me wonder then, with higher pressure, if the power would peak out sooner. I'm running a boost controller now, and it hits about a 17psi spike before...

Just saying, if people don't think there is anything special about it, nobody will be interested in your car. ;) That's how I like my cars anyway... Edit: Nothing at all wrong with cops, but they're rarely a deterrent to many thieves, for what that is worth. I have one literally living 100'...

Thanks Mike. Nothing I have to be concerned with now, but the girlfriend is wanting a MkIV as her next car, so it may come up eventually. I get the feeling that it would depend on the paint on the car really... I can see the new style looking great on the IJM, and white cars, but the old style...

Haha, pretty easy actually: 1 box of Kraft sprials 2 decent size table spoons of Country Crock 7 tablespoons of 2% milk Cook the macaroni (takes about 7 minutes), then drain the water, but do not rinse. Add the butter, stirring it in slowly. Your macaroni will turn a slightly golden...

At first, I was thinking, that seems a bit excessive, wonder what brought that on? Then I watched the second video on that live leak link. No surprise there... :nono:

Heh, not bad man. :) Give it another few years and a song like that would have you arrested. Happened in Russia not too long ago actually...

http://xkcd.com/1110/ There have been a handful of large scale xkcd comics over the years (Money and 1000 come to mind), but this one takes the cake. Link above since the comic doesn't "work" anywhere other than on the site as far as I know. Trust me, this is pretty awesome, especially if...

Glad you got it figured out. One more reason to never let the fuel level get below 1/4 tank if you can avoid it. :) Edit: When I read "Good news!" at the beginning of your post, I read it in James May's voice. It has been FAR too long since Top Gear UK has been on...

Never really saw this thread until now. Cool car, the dash (and I'm guessing the engine too) seem to be quite similar to what would have been put in a 2nd generation Celica or Mk1 Supra. Cool stuff, the 18r was a great motor, had some nice tuning options, and racing history. Bit underpowered for...

Just to contribute to the MkIV section so it has some activity, can anyone post a picture of the difference? I believe the 97-98 lights had a dark gray background behind the lights, correct? Not sure what the earlier ones looked like...

Sounds like fun. Was the M5x (I don't know my BMW's as well as my Toyotas) blown or something? I hear great things about the E36 engines. Well, the Euro spec ones anyway. As per usual, our piss water gasoline kinda neutered the car back then... Anyway, I don't believe I got your PM, if you were...

I popped mine on using my weight and the floor mat on the passenger side. Pressed the ball end into the floor mat. Worked pretty well. :)

I don't see why not, but I plan on running one in tank and one inline on mine. Would the second pump in the line cause any resistance? Or would it be able to pull more fuel from the tank to the rail at a decent pressure level? Those would be the questions on my mind...

I did not know this, but they do look VERY similar. Good info! Curious what improvements they made though, do you have more info? You only need the very bottom bushing with the C's, the top (round) bushing is replaced with an extension that allows for the longer fulcrum. Very interesting...

All the good stuff comes in bottles anyway, I usually don't allow anyone to have cups in my car... just in case. FYI, a good option if you do drink stuff in cans/cups, get a Vitamin Water (for smaller drinks) or a 1L Pepsi/Mt Dew bottle, and after finishing the contents, wash and reuse the...

Now THAT is a launch! I suppose if it is only briefly, the flash heat shouldn't really hurt anything. Good timing on the initial picture I guess. :) Errr... is that a 1jz by Kenmore? Trying to figure out what use that has in your kitchen. High powered blender? :D Normally, my bank puts a fraud...

Sounds similar to something from the Miata world: http://www.flyinmiata.com/index.php?deptid=4524&parentid=0&stocknumber=04-37950 Definitely wouldn't want to drain the oil back into the engine though, as the pros have pointed out. :)

A good 3-ton floor jack (and stands) is probably the most useful (and used) of all the tools I have in my garage. I suggest you invest in one, they come in handy. ;) Also, if you find yourself in a situation where the brakes don't appear to be doing much, try a quick PMABS attempt. By that, I...

I don't see any pics, and this is the internet, so... ;)
