    Happy birthday, Reign_Maker!

    Pretty sure ANYONE would look like that if they put on a wizard robe and hat, which is to say, AWESOME. I mean, who doesn't like wizards? Happy birthday man. :)

    Use of amorall!

    Eh, I'd say that other than the wheels, chrome anything on a Supra looks pretty out of place...

    Did some pulles today finally.

    Suspension is still stock and you're having that much trouble putting power down? How cold are the roads? I noticed that my winter tires stick a LOT better than the Nittos, despite the Nitto having a much stickier tread, all because of road temperatures during this part of the year. What sort of...

    Anyone know the NHTSA CRASH TEST RATING?

    That poor Bel Air... I hate seeing things like this, particularly to cars that still look like they're in decent shape. You still won't find me in an Everybrand Boringbox though. For every accident I've had/been involved in, I'd much rather take my chances in something I actually like to drive...

    Noob spring question

    Nope and nope. Looking at the ads, they look rather Chinaman Mfg, Incorporated to me, so take that for what it's worth. The Mk2 has a completely different suspension up front than the Mk3, and I believe the rear is slightly different as well, but I could be mistaken on that part. There are...

    So how long till someone stuffs one of these on a supra?

    Correct me if I'm mistaken, but hasn't GM been doing VNT turbos for a while on their Duramax engines? Granted, that's diesel, and like Grim said, it's not very common on gas engines yet... What about Limequat on here? He's got himself a VNT turbo from a Duramax on his 4.2...

    Helluva a way to start off the morning...

    How much did that run you? Pretty good idea if you ask me. And fuck anyone who would give you grief over stopping short. There is absolutely no reason to park your nose 3" from the next car's ass. I've always thought it would be fun to put a KC light on the roll bar (pointed backwards) for...

    Differential Oil Drain/fill Socket Size?

    24mm, and for the love of all that is holy, remove the FILL bolt first. Why, you ask? Well, if you drain all your fluid out of your diff and find out that your fill bolt is quite stuck... ;) Also, helps to use a 6 point socket for this job.

    Motorcycles - First time buyer/rider

    According to the guy in my office who picked up a 600R F3 earlier this year (his first street bike), "it feels like you still have power down low, but wait until you get it up there, it will surprise you." :p And you can have that powerband in a Supra, just have to build a nice JZ bottom end...

    Merry Christmas, with 6 to 8 black men

    Man, I've heard some dry humor before, but I needed a drink after hearing that. :p

    What was the very first car you ever owned?

    How could you even utter such blasphemy to suggest that you didn't like a 1st generation Celica? Unless this was when these cars were new and you were old enough to have enjoyed American cars when they had nuts, I don't understand how you could dislike the Celica... Hindsight though, ain't it a...

    Anyone know the NHTSA CRASH TEST RATING?

    Yeah, I know. *grumbles something about the health & safety people ruining cars for the people that actually like them for the sake of the sheep that don't...* You know, I was always raised to stay out of the road unless it's safe to cross... Dunno about the rest of us, but pedestrian safety...

    Helluva a way to start off the morning...

    Age has little to do with ability/choosing to pay attention. I would expect that 80% of accidents are due to not paying attention, 10% due to conditions, and the other 10% due to poor maintenance on some cars... As for the Edmunds and KBB thing, they only go back 20 years. You might also try...

    How Many MKIII owners in Idaho?

    I live over in western Wyoming, Rock Springs area, so if anyone is ever headed east, you might see me around.

    Did some pulles today finally.

    I've run 275's all around (good Nitto NT05, quite sticky with a 200 tread wear), and it all depends on road conditions, whether or not they will spin... Has a lot to do with suspension too, if you're too stiff, you'll spin just about anything with a moderate power level. I'm only making ~320whp...

    Nook or Kindle?

    They only made a couple hand helds, the Game Gear and the Nomad (portable Genesis), either one ran through about 8x AA's of awesomeness every couple hours. I would say you make a good point, but that's 90% of the "responsible" bit. Some kids these days...

    Faces To Names 3 : New beginning

    What is that thing Matt? Looks like an S14 at first, but it appears to be 4 door too? Then I was thinking Soarer because of the little nubs on the fenders... I'm puzzled.

    Rapid Prototyping Front badge poll

    Cool, it does let you vote more than one option! I would also have included 3.0 turbo for the 7m/2j guys. :)
