    Ian, that's not a garage, you call it a shed yourself...

    Ford's new Coyote 5.0 is actually quite reasonably priced at about $6000-7000 new. Granted, you probably need a few things on top of that to get it to run, I believe that's just for the longblock, no management or accessories. As for GM, they've done the ZR-1's LT5, or more appropriately, a...

    Rare JDM Aero for A70 Supra on Ebay

    Here I feel kinda dumb now... I thought that was a rather strange front bumper, or at least the nose panel that meets the fenders, or something. I gotta get some food, I'm seeing shit now. :p

    Kool Story Bro<<<<<<< Very Kool...

    I guess he had a habit of racing (or trying to anyway) anything that would give him the time of day. I usually only race things that I know at least have a chance, or the occasional retard in a diesel that's dumb enough to pick on a car like mine. :p

    Kind of Surprised :) But none the less 2 kills in 10mins

    Albert isn't handicapped, he's just slow... like those kids on the ice cream trucks. :)

    inspire me with pics of "your" garage...

    Don't get me wrong, me too... I use them to keep the oil drips from the Mk2 from staining the concrete. :p About the only things out of place in my garage are a snow shovel, a cooler, and a tree stand. These items are all stored in "bins" above the garage door. That said, I won't stand for/own...

    1972 142s Volvo EXTREME DRIFT!

    Well there you go then... I've actually considered throwing a 3s in the Mk2 if/when the 6m goes kaput on me. :)

    Kind of Surprised :) But none the less 2 kills in 10mins

    Don't mean to burst your bubble or anything Jordan, but if your car isn't running quite right, I suspect that Camaro would have been an automatic. Used to have one of the 6 speed LS1 cars, and every Firebird/TA/Z28 I ever raced against seemed to fall off right at the 100mph mark, I think that's...

    Wuddup fellas!!

    At first, I was wondering if you got lost and wound up here somehow haha... welcome aboard. :) I've heard from many an old timer, "Ford for the style, Chevy for the motivation." Interesting swap you have there. I had an 01 SS myself not too long ago... similar to your girlfriend's car, but black.

    inspire me with pics of "your" garage...

    Here's a rule of thumb: -If it isn't a car, or because of a car, it doesn't belong in the garage. ;) I'd show a picture of mine, but there's not much to see, all that's in there is two Supras and their sets of tires. Small cabinet/countertop used to store the tools and air compressor. It's...

    1972 142s Volvo EXTREME DRIFT!

    Since when did Billy grow a beard? Sigh... they grow up so quickly. :p Engine wise, I'd go with a 3s variant for one of these. Their BEAMS motors make heathy HP, but they're kinda expensive when I was shopping. Could always go Miata engine too, they love boost, and are cheap to boot.

    Questions about non turbo 86.5 to a 1JZ swap...

    Check the "other engines" section on here, read through the stickies. Should give you answers for all you'd want to know, at least at this point. Still have questions after doing a good bit of reading in there? Then ask. ;) That said, I swapped a stock-ish 1j into my car about 2.5 years ago...

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

    Nothing wrong with that. I also have a Japanese car with a good mix of American, Australian, possibly Brazilian (tires), all held together by a good helping of Chinese made zip ties and bolts. :p One thing to note about my experience with the Continentals, if the DW are like the DWS, you'll...

    Drift Style Graphics, - Wrapped Mk3

    Where the hell have YOU been man? Long time no see! :) You know, along those lines, a paint scheme along the lines of an old Zero would be car-appropriate, if not necessarily country-appropriate. Around here you'd likely be treated to a knuckle sammich. Eh, don't worry, one wall later will fix...

    Grenaded engine, almost killed me.

    My apologies JJ, I still have a healthy amount of respect for JFK, but the office of President has been a joke my entire life, being a child of the early 80's...

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

    What size tire are you looking for? I can recommend whole-heartedly the NT05 if you're looking for a sticky, reasonably priced summer tire. Worst case, you don't like them, you're likely able to be able to find someone in your area that would want them, sell them cheap, buy another set of...

    Kool Story Bro<<<<<<< Very Kool...

    Just be careful about recording things, sometimes that can be used against you. ;) Track videos on the other hand, perfectly ok. You're right though, our cars when running properly aren't slouches. I still think there's a bit more power to be had from mine without anything more than piping and...

    New owner of 92 Supra

    Welcome to the asylum. ;) Of course we're going to want to see a few pics of the car, as well as some details... Just know this about these cars: -They can be finicky -They're all over 20 years old at this point, and a lot of rubber may need replacing -Previous owners (especially if you're the...

    10mm or .40

    OP has a similar build that I do Mike, a .45 tends to look comical on us skinny guys. :p

    Double Barrelled Handgun

    So what you're saying is... weld them together once you buy it? :p That would probably still violate some part of the NFA though, huh?
