    Cool/Rare parts thread?

    Was it in here that someone was looking for the brake ducts for the TTR lips? This guy has a set... http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?151836-ttr-break-cooling-ducts-jza70-fmic-w-piping-1jz-tt-heat-shield

    Sonic Generations

    Eh, fun is fun Mike, right? I've enjoyed my PC gaming over the years, but that was mostly in the 90's. Things like Worms, Doom/Quake, Warcraft (back when it was good), Thief, Rogue Squadron, you know... the good stuff, back when PC gaming was still relevant. :p They still make PC games these...

    Damn appendix

    Ugh, sorry to hear that man. Fortunately I've only needed my adenoids removed when I was a kid, and some massive wisdom teeth when I was just out of high school. One tip for ya? If they give you pain pills, make sure you have food in you first. Learning that lesson was worse than the surgery. :p

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

    This thing is essentially a modern interpretation of the original Celica, I say go for it. The auto killed your GT-S's fun factor anyway. :p We should find out sooner than later. Jalopnik posted more details of the official production Scion version this morning. I like that they went with a...

    Motorcycles - First time buyer/rider

    And this is why I stick to the philosophy of "two wheels bad", despite every gearhead bone in my body knowing full well how much fun it is being out in the open, feeling so close and connected to the road... If I ever got a bike, it would be strictly a track toy. This is kinda also why I'm...

    Transmission Q

    You got it. If you get a JZA70 setup (engine and transmission) your speedo will likely be off unless the previous owner happens to have already swapped in the proper gear for the same diff ratio you have. Not likely though, but you can roughly tell your speed once you get a feel for the rpms and...

    300Kmh Speedometer Gauge?

    Hadn't thought of that, makes total sense though. I know damn well our cars don't have much trouble hitting past 160... Hell, mine did 150 with the windows DOWN, in a videogame. ;) That's true, either way you're going to jail, right? :p

    MKIII - T.S. Front Wide Fendersr Design: Project

    Sounds good, like I said I've got my setup already bought/paid for, but I am as curious as anyone else here. Liked your hood design too, the one I bought supposedly weighs between 18-19 lbs. Quite the nice drop from stock. :)

    Couple questions about a MK3 i found on Craigslist.

    Let's not forget that Night Rider "boost" switch where the ash tray should be... Wonder what sort of tires those are that stock wheels are good enough for 500hp? :rofl:

    Enkei rim bore size info needed

    You could always try calling Enkei if you can't get your hands on a caliper to measure it properly, they might be able to help you. :) Edit: That "E1110" part makes me wonder if it isn't a 5x110 pattern wheel. In which case, it wouldn't fit your car anyway. Have you tried test fitting them...

    Some battery questions

    I had purchased one of those jumper packs from Checker a while back to keep in the Celica and Mk2, just in case. It did alright the once or twice I needed it, but I now mostly just use it to charge my portable work/flashlight since I let my brother borrow it, and he lost the charger for that...

    best cost effective ways for stripping paint on the car?

    Still has better overall proportions than the E-type it emulated so much. :) Not so hard to make happen, just all in who you know. ;)

    Did some pulles today finally.

    Not unless I can get my entire 2007 back. :p I'll admit, spinning through gears FEELS fun, but I'd rather have traction myself. OP must be on either really sad tires or have one torquey 7m...

    Sonic Generations

    It's that mustache that Mario rocks DT... gotta be the mustache. :p Should check out the Sonic demo if you guys have a PS3/360 to download it on, you'll probably like it. As for Ecco, I still hate that fucking octopus. :nono:

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

    I don't see how they could get it wrong, to be honest... both companies KNOW how to build fun cars, and have done so in the past. I think we all owe Akio Toyoda a high five, you know he had to have helped pressure the rest of the company to get this out as more than just a concept... Being that...

    Motorcycles - First time buyer/rider

    Thinking about it now, this also seems smart, much like not swimming by yourself. What happens if you're off on your own and dump the bike? If you're alone, you might be lucky enough to have someone see you and help you out, but if you're riding in a small group, you're LIKELY to have help...

    Transmission Q

    Finding a JZA70 engine is going to be a bit more of a challenge than just finding a 1jz that can be adapted to work. Just drops in the easiest. :) As for the driveshaft, that has nothing to do with your speedo. It's the gear that is turned by the transmission in the tailshaft housing on the...

    sbc in a MK3...

    They're great engines. I think my brother's Impala has something like 240-260k on the thing, still runs great. Great power, just a crappy powerband because he only has 2 gears... Didn't know blow through was so expensive... As for putting a load on the engine, I was under the impression that...

    1JZGTE 1mm oversized exhaust valves!!

    That's not all that bad, I think I paid something like $500-ish for the same thing when I built the 7m head that I used for all of a couple thousand miles haha... Thanks man. :)
