For what it's worth guys, I just lifted the seat out of the 46 Chevy yesterday. Thing HAS to weigh more than me. :nono:

I get a feeling that Rock Auto may well be getting some more business from me, I can't imagine too many places would have parts for a 46 Chevy. :p

Frankly, IF I were in the market for a NEW car (and ONLY new cars), I would buy one, if only to tell the manufactures of modern cars "fuck your crossover boring bs, I want THIS." That said, my ONE sale is unlikely to sway any marketing decisions, especially for big manufactures. I want them to...

Eh, dumb, and kind of rude on Toyota's part not to issue a TSB on it (at the very least), but I think I've made peace with it. It's well known enough now that I don't see it as an "issue" so much. Now, it does raise the question, "when did Toyota know about this issue" in my eyes...

Nice picture man, I like it. Heh, I couldn't throw a shoe without hitting something with an SBC around here. Not saying the idea is completely off the table, but I'm leaning toward cheap (ish), and fuel injected. Really aiming for something that isn't going to run like crap if I drive somewhere...

That's high praise there sir... but I can't honestly see GoT being as big as it is if the source material wasn't good. Does Martin take a similar approach that Tolkien did, with LotR being a period piece on the world he lived in at large? Or did he create another universe from scratch without...

Finding balance in life is certainly a tricky task, but once yous start to figure it out, life in general is a nicer prospect. However, I don't think anyone has it all figured out without going through the experiences that teach us these things. :)

So, kind of like LotR then? Lot more rewarding if you have the time and the imagination?

Sounds like your sister is a good woman then. :p Buddy of mine and myself used to drive his wife halfway nuts quoting that movie as often as we could... Makes for fun working it into everyday conversation. Kinda like F&F, but meant for different conversations.

Hmm... I don't see that aging well, given the conditions it will be put through. :nono: The passenger side headlight on the Mazda3 is accessed in a VERY tight spot (I even have small hands), because of the filler neck for the windshield washer reservoir... You know, for what it's worth...

I wouldn't be upset if my old lady decided to get one of those instead of a MkIV, but I have no intentions of buying one myself, despite a love of cars like this. At this altitude, 200hp is just NOT enough, even with that sort of weight. :nono: Plus, for the money... I'll get myself an NSX. ;)

General rule of thumb in my book, a Mk3 body and interior in good shape is worth about $1000-1500 ($2000 max for a later car, depending). You can always walk away, you'll find another one, and the owner will eventually do something with it...

Buy a Miata, turbo stock motor or install LS3, and enjoy your Supra for what it is. ;) Seriously though, aside from the driver power seat, nothing in the interior makes enough of a difference to make putting up with a rattle can car worth it IMO. Replace the seat with a Bride or something of...

My Mk2 does a good enough job of it considering it has like 120hp at this altitude... the chassis slip angle makes them nice and easy to control when you do get sideways, I love that thing. Power would just make it easier. Now, I personally prefer grip-style driving (hey, tires are expensive...

Can't be mad at that, you make at least double the power as your old 1j setup, at least until around the 5k mark. Even then you're still up a healthy amount. Area under the curve, right? ;) You know, definitely gives the idea of one of these in the 46 a bit more of an argument, though the...

Awesome, thanks for the tip. Don't shop at my local Toyota dealer (long story, shady business), but I have sources. :)

You know, I still think the Mk3 and Mk4 interiors look rather modern, even to this day. They hold up well, design-wise. :) I was unaware that the Mk3 got both tan AND brown, I always thought they were one in the same. I guess this is like how we got two different "shadow gray" interiors...

If sprayed on the firewall it would likely add a small layer of sound deadening, but aside from that, I don't see a good reason to do it. Works great for off-road vehicles that get muddy, makes it nice and easy to clean the interior with a hose...

I didn't see engine mentioned, but I'm going to guess 1j given the posts and power level. Never did understand dynos that measure in MPH though, that really doesn't give you much reference as to power level vs rpm. Have you replaced the y-pipe yet? You won't need that boost controller after you...

High five to you sir, that was awesome. I love creepy anime, so I kinda figured it would be some cliche 'boo' scare, but that got me pretty good, I like it! :D
