    My car is traveling the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    That's a generous offer of you sir, I'll keep it in mind. I didn't know they were so thorough with inspections and that sort of thing, but it makes sense given what they have at stake. Have fun with that, and enjoy Germany while you're there. An old friend's sister lived there with her husband...

    Damn appendix

    Well, if ever I need to help facilitate a squatter, I usually eat something like Burger King or raisin bran. Either one seems to do the trick. :p

    Mossberg 500, anyone use one?

    Thanks for the input guys. Have been looking at the 870 as well, but haven't come across a pistol grip style yet. If I wanted a stock, I'd be using a rifle... I'm not even really a gun nut either, haven't even fired one in a few years now, but being that I live where I do, it just feels like...

    Damn starting gremlin!!!

    Interesting... I'll be replacing the starter when we put the good bits from the 89 onto the 87 sometime next spring anyway, so I wasn't too worried about it. It's infrequent at best in my case. As for the battery, I can't say for certain where the turbo timer gets it's readout from, and it only...

    Rapid Prototyping Front "2.5 TWIN turbo" badge

    Pretty cool, turned out good. Not really one to plaster my car with badges, although I'm with the guys on the "2.5turbo" bandwagon if you're going to be producing a limited run. Looks classy, and you can't just buy one from Toyota that I'm aware of.

    My car is traveling the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm a little envious of you, if only for your future driving facilities. Good luck on the Ring, and remember, it's a hell of a lot more bumpy and narrow than it looks. Then again, it might be easier to drive in real life than on GT5 due to the lack of physical feedback on the game (even with a...

    Its finally here! (Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ/Toyota 86)

    Another thing about this I realized yesterday... well, a couple things really: -This is THE car of the decade. If you look back, each decade pretty much had an "it" car. 50's, one could argue that the Bel-Air was it. The 60's, it was undeniably the Mustang. The 70's had the 240z. The 80's had...

    Motorcycles - First time buyer/rider

    I've generally been the same way with my cars. Don't you wish everybody drove like we do? You would be one of maybe 3 or 4 people I've seen quit the Supra game and be done for good... you know you have the occasional dream where you're boosting, windows down, on a clear, smooth road... Tend to...

    Mossberg 500, anyone use one?

    Curious to see if anyone on here has used one of these before... one of my brother's friends bought a 500 Persuader (pistol grip, short barrel) at a gun show locally, seemed like a nice gun, but never got to shoot it myself.

    Damn starting gremlin!!!

    I get the feeling you've already answered this question a couple times, and the trick is finding your post, interpreting it, then fixing it... Only problem I've ever had with the starter was that every once in a great while, it just won't turn the motor. I've heard it's a "flat spot", I've...

    Another motor another rod knock day.

    Pretty sure you need specific bearings, being that this is probably the part of your engine where precision matters the absolute most. I'd wait until someone can confirm the proper way to buy bearings. ;) Do it right the first time, or do it twice (or more...), which would you prefer?

    Damn appendix

    I have a lot of clear liquid diet in my freezer... again, probably not the best thing to mix with surgery and an empty stomach though. :p Hey, they say laughter is the best medicine, right? At least you're keeping your wits about it. Oh, and DT, I was allowed to keep a cyst that they took out...

    SBC/LS1 with R154, anyone done it?

    Nice find there sir, that's not a bad price at all. I believe the LT1 has more (well, sooner) torque than the LS1, as the LS didn't hit it's peak until something like 4400 in the SS I had. That said, I'd take less weight to carry around over a little bit of a lower end power surge any day. As...

    best cost effective ways for stripping paint on the car?

    Gotta pay for a second tier college education somehow. :p

    Some battery questions

    You know, I'm not certain how long it was able to hold a charge, I think I only ever needed it once or twice at most. All I know is that now, the "charge level" test lights never seem to go above 'red', which is the lowest setting, once it's taken off the 110v at the wall. The thing is a few...

    Enkei rim bore size info needed

    Good to hear man, now get some 20-25mm spacers to make those wheels sit in the right place. ;)

    300Kmh Speedometer Gauge?

    Would RHD make a difference to the gauge itself though? It appears that they would fit in a LHD cluster just fine to me, but I imagine you know better than I on that one. Try the UK Supra Owners group? Or just lurk the FS sections on here, I see them pop up every few months or so. Ever dealt...

    Realy old videos of supras!

    Ouch... he's just doing it "extra" right, right Albert? :) Then again, wtf is my excuse? Oh wait... bought the house or I'd be done already. :p
