    600hp 1JZ supra vs 600hp Gt500 vs 650hp C6 z06

    You know what else would give you a much better powerband? Porting and a ball bearing turbo. ;) If that isn't enough, then throw on the laughing gas, just not too soon junior. A buddy up here has had a T70 with a .84 AR on his 7m. I let him borrow the Comp 6265 BB that I bought (thanks again...

    so ive decided...

    Weight reduction in a proper way for a street car amounts to one question: How much do you want to spend? Now, a race car has different rules, but you shouldn't be driving those on the street anyway. For what it is worth, you'll notice unsprung weight reduction sooner than body weight in most...

    so... in light of one of my previous threads... I just wanted to say

    Bravo to you sir. Well said. On the original subject matter, I'd be lying to you if I said I didn't haul ass once in a while. However, I'm picky about WHERE. Around other cars is not the place I like to play. That, and around here, there's always a chance you might meet an unexpected deer...

    Send a bottle to Jdub for analysis! :D

    For realsies? I love shit like this, just to know how fragile our world really could be when you think outside of the atmosphere. Possibly Fox News, or a tabloid of some sort? :p

    Sad day for me :(

    Hmm, "Jack Stands". I think you may have just given me the proper name for the widebody project. :rofl: Flight Doc, keep your patience, and set aside a few bucks now and then, and get to your Mk3 when you can in the future. Sometimes, the time just isn't right for a particular car in our lives...

    Jury Duty

    Should be grateful we still live in a country that bothers to find random jurors. For now anyway. ;) That said, my girlfriend was on a panel a few months ago, she seemed to enjoy it if not for the cramped conditions of the jurors box.

    My birthday/christmas present

    Haha, you must be new around here. :rofl: Nice looking gun Mike, I've heard nothing but good things about Kimbers from what little I've heard about them. Hope ya get some time to enjoy it!

    Supracharged Prerunner

    What do you mean that molds were out of the question? Either way, I love suspension seats... most of the equipment I've been around has them. Quite comfy.

    Getting rid of the Golf, got a pickup!

    Well that was quick, didn't you just buy the Golf a few months back? Anyhow, how's the weather up there? Been around -20° the past couple weeks, and for the first time in a few years, we've gotten some pretty serious snow for the area...

    STOLEN - White 1990 CRX HF - Puyallup, WA

    Ugh... sorry to hear of your misfortune man. Consider an Autolock, or Brakelock (whatever they call them), I have a couple, and while I'm sure they *can* be bypassed, I can't imagine your typical joyrider would have the proper equipment to deal with something like that. I can tell you from...

    Chambers Build Thread - "The RAV"

    Looks good man. So, when can we expect a supercharger and some tires?

    I need quicker spool (1JZ) Ideas??

    Haha, I knew what you were getting at. For what it's worth, my porting job was worth about 40hp (combined with BC264 cams) over a stock head on stock turbos. I can't WAIT to see what this thing does with a proper turbo. :D

    Texas jdm engine dealers

    Check JDM Engine Corp's ebay feedback. IIRC it is really good. Might be thinking another company though. Shame JHot isn't around anymore though, they were in Denton briefly...

    Need help!

    Glad to hear you got the issue figured out. :)

    Give me reasons to keep the supra.

    Well said, and I agree. HPF does some terribly awesome things to the M3 platform... Basically the biggest attraction to the NSX for me is the mid engined platform (new thing for me), and the fact, that well... look at the thing. It's an NSX. That's about all the argument I need. :p FD I could...

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Also found on the 9th gen Corollas that I've seen. Buddy had one in his 2005, I kept threatening to steal it. :p Man, that is some GOOD customer service to hear about!

    Just wanted to say....

    Hang in there man, mine was down for ~13 months while I saved up for and did the 1j swap. ;)

    Subaru Impreza WRX seats? Good or bad?

    Much as you might not want to hear it, I have yet to sit in a more comfortable seat than the stock Mk3 seats... Hmm, actually, the seats from the FR-S are a close second, now that I think about it. Might be able to find a set for cheap too, given how many of those are destined for track use...

    600hp 1JZ supra vs 600hp Gt500 vs 650hp C6 z06

    I love how people say things are stock. My ass. Stock they're quick. Stock they're not monsters like that... And as for "cold weather", you can bite me haha. It's been like -20° for most of the past few weeks. Colder even, depending on where you're coming from around here...
