    what do you guys do?

    Haha, well said man. It doesn't always end well even on a healthy budget. :p Dude, you have a Supra. Your budget will ALWAYS be tight. Seriously, crack might be cheaper in the long run. :rofl:

    Whats the most number of hours you ever worked in a week?

    Same here man. If I had a job I truly loved doing (my job isn't bad, but it's not a hobby either), I'd probably put in 60ish a week.

    Post a pic of your recent purchase

    Your fiance drives a 350z huh? High five to you sir, that's awesome. Have you tried the Merc wheels on your car? They might not look too bad if they're a decent size and the lug pattern fits... not sure about the lug patter thing though.

    formula SAE car...warping the block by forcing it in...

    Ouch man... 20mm intake restriction? Might as well use a coffee stirring straw. :nono: 160-170 compression seems low for a motorcycle to me, shouldn't they be somewhere in the 11:1 area?

    WOO HOO! My boy got some ink!

    Why would this get locked, as long as it was posted in "other cars" initially? Anyway, to the OP, 14.9 @ 92mph? Time for your son to get some gears and get that thing moving. ;)

    1jz single break up.

    Corey, 13psi on a turbo that size is likely a good deal more air than 13psi of the stock turbos. If you're still running the 370cc's, I would think that you might be running out of fuel, or at least pushing the safe limit. Are you still on the stock MAP sensor and ECU?

    92' Turbo Supra Suggestions

    Doh! Sorry so late to the party Chris... your 92 should have 6.5" speakers in the doors, 3" (IIRC) on the rear passenger shoulder area, and 5.25" in the rear location under the 1/4 windows. A bit of work, and you can get some pretty nice speaker setups squeezed into stock locations. My advice...

    MKIII- Carbon Fiber Regulus Nose Panel: Interest Of Group Buy

    I have to ask, why so much on the shipping Noel? The panel shouldn't exceed 5 lbs... I understand the size is a bit large when you package it securely, but that seems somewhat high to me.

    What is the RAREST MKIII Supra?

    Sunroof on my Mk2 does that. It's neat and all, but I prefer the more common Mk3 Sunroof that angles up, like the FC3S sunroof. IIRC, the early model sunroof cars were an ASC conversion. Someone correct me if I'm mistaken. Sounds like a sweet car, I was unaware that 6L9 was ever offered on...

    Towing a MK3 accross the country??

    What are you using to move your belongings with? I towed my Mk3 down to AZ from WY once, with a mid-size (14'?) box truck, on a flat trailer. Worked great, truck averaged about 15-16mpg overall. Probably not a good daily, but if you're going to use a box truck to haul your belongings, is...

    What Grinds Your Gears?

    I don't normally do that, but eventually something is going to have to go out in the street unless I get a shop, or move into a house with a bigger garage. Option #2 is more likely, I love the house, love the location, but can't fucking stand the neighbors. If land wasn't obscenely expensive...

    formula SAE car...warping the block by forcing it in...

    Haha, hmm... oval shaped cylinders don't give very good compression when fitted with round cylinders. :p

    A tribute to all RX7 owners, j/k just most.

    True enough... I dunno, that never really bothered me. Once you go front mount, it's really just for show anyway, unless you re-route the ducting to do something else, or plug it.

    what do you guys do?

    Good advice, what's written above here... You know, I would argue that sometimes you get lucky. When I bought my old 79 Celica that I had, it was 30 years old. Wasn't much of a highway car since it had the 3 speed auto, but never had a problem with the car around town. Was a perfect town car. A...

    What Grinds Your Gears?

    All the more reason to not be on FB. ;) Sounds like a few people I know though, I wouldn't be surprised... What grinds my gears? Neighbor's cunt droplets throwing a golf ball to each other, and one of them managed to hit my car with it. It was parked out on the street for less than an hour...

    what do you guys do?

    Well, my car was down a solid 15 of the first 18 months I owned it, if not more. Have had that car nearly... wait, OVER 4 years now. Wow... been driving it daily for 2.5 of them now. :) That 15 months was pretty agonizing though, I will admit that. I kept myself busy with work, video games...

    Whats the most number of hours you ever worked in a week?

    Longest week I've ever pulled was the week that we changed the entire layout of the Blockbuster I worked at back in like 2002, 2003, somewhere back then. Pulled many a double shift that week, since I was the only one willing to do it. Longest day of that week was open (9am IIRC) until close...
