    HID headlight and foglight conversion.

    Good to know... Summer's coming, and I don't drive at night often anymore, but who knows. I'll be buying a set eventually, just not sure when. Definitely on the list. :)

    Grenaded engine, almost killed me.

    I thought it was an Evergreen Terrace song... it's a hidden track at the end of their "Writer's Block" album. I think I've seen a whole 3 episodes of Spongebob, that show was weird as fuck... I thought Ren & Stimpy was odd.

    Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Why the hell does that come to mind?

    Upcoming Movies Thread

    I'm with you on the Prometheus Grim, I love the alien universe. Even today the first two movies hold up very well. Mike, as for another Ahnuhld remake without Ahnuhld (Conan being the first that comes to mind), I dunno... I mean, where do you draw the line? Next up, it's Terminator, starring...

    1JZ motorcycle...

    Guy I went to high school with once showed us a picture that was taken of him sitting on the Dodge Tomahawk, behind a nice pretty red rope. Then he was promptly escorted out of the show and asked to not return. Gotta love bonkers bikes... If anyone happens to come across more info on this thing...

    Credit Cards - What is the best? Looking to get some rewards without a headache..

    3p, maybe it's the part of me that worked for Discover waaaaaay back in high school, but it makes me nervous to think that they're giving back as much as 2/5ths of what you've spent with that card. Again, probably not a big deal if you're smart, but again, nothing is free, that program HAS to be...

    1996 Volkswagen Polo 1.4

    You sir are a bastard. As if I needed ANOTHER idea rolling around in my head... Kinda ugly, if I'm honest, like a love child of a 7 AND an Atom. Strange, but you can't beat that price with a stick. You could have that thing built and running for what it costs just to get a 7 replica put together...

    In other cars/politics news... Toyota exporting many models from the US.

    Hadn't thought of the tariff side of it, I'll admit. That may play a factor into it as well, but you hit the nail I was holding right on the head. Why not come out an say, "your dollar isn't worth as much as it was 10 (even 5) years ago", that I don't understand. The full quote: You know, I...

    2ur-fse

    Well if it makes you feel better Dylan, I have the only (to my knowledge anyway) 1jz in the entire state of Wyoming. How's that for unique? :) I agree though, a little innovation is nice, which is why I love seeing said common swaps in CARS that aren't normally swapped into. Same as your...

    1.5jz vs 2jz spool time

    Another good reason to do a 1.5jz is because you already have a good head, like mine. Ported VERY nicely, already have aftermarket cams... of course it's not *so* much work that I wouldn't consider a 2j if this thing blew up, but still... it's a really nice head. I am really looking forward to...

    Grenaded engine, almost killed me.

    Damn I bet that one is fun... Note to self though, start thinking of scattershield ideas. :aigo: Arizona car though, GPS said something about Price road, and it looks JUST like the 202 to me...

    HID headlight and foglight conversion.

    Man am I bad about getting you two mixed up... Sorry Dave. :p I'll be buying a set from you eventually. Is it easy enough to swap out that it wouldn't be a headache to put in my current car, then swap over to the shell when we do the widebody thing? Don't need two sets, but would it be worth...

    Ultra High Performance Summer or All Season? Kumho Ecsta SPT and ASX vs others

    I'll keep that in mind, I do have a spare bedroom, using it for car parts at the moment. Going to turn it into an arcade once all the car parts are you know, on the car... but I don't keep clothes or anything especially important in that closet. IF the tires would fit (closet isn't exactly deep...

    89 hardtop 32k miles $5k on CL

    Hate to burst bubbles guys, but that car isn't really a 5k car in my eyes. Exterior: 8-9/10. Looks great, at least in pictures. Couple dents, paint appears to be scraped off left rear bumper, but other than that, looks good. Interior: 9/10. I'd even be willing to consider this a 10/10 to be...

    Guess ill introduce myself

    It takes it like a champ because only 1st and 2nd gears ever let you into the "fun" rpm band of that engine, *grumble grumble* stupid slush boxes *grumble grumble*... To the OP, that thing looks rather... interesting. Not quite sure what pipe is going where in that case, bet she scooted though. :D

    In other cars/politics news... Toyota exporting many models from the US.

    Reading the April issue of Motortrend, I came across something that made me think a bit. It was mentioned that Toyota is exporting many of it's models (Camry, Tundra, Sequoia, etc) FROM the US to other regions such as Korea, the Middle East, Europe, etc... Their reasoning? "...because of the...

    1996 Volkswagen Polo 1.4

    Oh, I know well (well enough for a Yank anyway) Britain's car industry... I'd be surprised if ours doesn't end up that way eventually. By the way, would absolutely LOVE to build a 7 replica someday, or own an Atom... that just seems like too much fun NOT to have. :D

    1JZ motorcycle...

    Good point. Dammit, now I want to see more pictures of this, a build thread, something... and unfortunately Google has failed us on this one, or I've failed with Google, either way.
