    Black Friday

    I was in receiving for them, and we got a decent discount, something like cost + 5%. Some of that stuff is DIRT cheap for them (things like ethernet cable, they pay pennies, you pay dollars, for example), but they will sell things for less than cost to get people in the door on days like this...

    Sonic Generations

    What?! Seriously dude? You must be part of the Playstation/N64 generation, right? Never played an old Sonic game... making me feel old here man. :p Check it out, was quite fun.

    Nook or Kindle?

    Considering the way kids break stuff, paper. :p Gotta say though, I thought of the idea when I was about 10, on a long road trip to Arizona, how cool would it have been to be able to read in the dark, and carry around a book on something like my Gameboy? Man I wish I had been old enough to put...

    sbc in a MK3...

    Sorry to hear of your stroke of luck man. :( Perhaps I missed it, but is there boost involved in this swap? If not, a glide seems a questionable choice to me...

    Oil Pressure and Boost Gauges not working after 1jz

    You said it right there. Once you get it hooked up right, put an aftermarket one next to it, and compare response times. Hell, mine would already be nearly peaked out at 10-12psi before the stock gauge was even registering boost. It's a novelty at best, to be honest. But, if you want it to...

    1JZGTE 1mm oversized exhaust valves!!

    I was searching for this same thing about 2-3 years ago when building the head. IIRC, JUN was the only one who offered them at one point other than custom from Ferrea. I'd say your money would be better spent on a good porting job considering there aren't many 'on the shelf' options for 1j...

    Motorcycles - First time buyer/rider

    Congrats man! :) Hey, no matter one's ability, there will ALWAYS be someone out there faster than ourselves. If you run into that I'd say just enjoy it and try to learn something as you watch their lines and taillights pull away from you. The road conditions and lack of concern shown by other...

    Widebody: S2 front fenders and Kaze Aerocraft rear fenders (Shineautoproject Replica)

    [/img] They look good man, specs as above there? You posted 18x10 +12 and 18x12 +0... Mind my asking how much? i got those as well on my widebody. They are lighter than meisters in that size so i dont care Again, mind my asking what these run for? What about weights? I wanna go with CCW's, but...

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

    Saw this on SCS, but would like to see it photoshopped onto the Mk3 to see what you guys have in mind. Already bought the S2 replicas from Shine, so I wouldn't be one of your customers, but I'd still like to see the outcome of this. :)

    What say you about this pic?

    Other than the aerodynamic improvements, I can't see why else you would want to do that, the 1st gen Celicas were gorgeous. Oh well, for all we know the original panels were so far beyond the ability of the person who converted it to repair, that they decided to do what we see here. Beer and...

    Car wrap instead of paint?

    Don't think I've ever seen an S13 vert done up nicely before, they always seem to fall by the wayside of time and disrepair. Nice job there Bor. As for wrapping the Mk3, in my experience, it's both more feasible financially and time-wise, to just save up, and do what you want to be PERMANENT...

    Spoilers and Wings: Spoiler or wing

    Couldn't you have bought both of those for what a Supra cost at the time? Just different cars sir... I love when Honda powers the correct wheels with sporting intentions, the results tend to be quite nice. This is true as well. For every good looking Mk3 (Mk2, Mk4, whatever) that you see, there...

    88 supra rear speaker

    Thinking about doing that myself, I have a set of some pretty nice speakers for the rear, but they'll be in a tasteful enclosure of their own. Don't think I'll be re-using the current speakers in the stock spots. Bugs me now that I can't remember who makes those speakers I have, they're sitting...

    My Car vs Audi R8

    Hmm... if he's got the cash to burn buying a 100k car, you'd think that would be enticing enough. Then again, these guys kinda make targets of themselves when you think about it... I'm never surprised by an older car that's fast, personally. Not like you have to make payments on the thing, why...

    Sonic Generations

    Anyone else played this one yet? I ran through the demo a couple times, I gotta say... I think they got a Sonic game right again, for the first time since Sonic & Knuckles. Should check it out if you've ever been a fan of "blast processing". :)

    psn gamertags?

    Ahh... perhaps we need a "PSN/XBL name = real name" thread like we have in the introduction thread that's stickied? That's just... wrong man. Took me far longer than it should have to get that haha. Mine is "BHG_LOL". I mostly play GT5 these days, being that I spend most of my time working, I...

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    Well I'm a bit late to the party, but what the hey, better late than never. I'm grateful to my currently sleeping girlfriend, who has to work at 4am because of this dreaded excuse for being a bunch of consumer whores that we are (and how!) called black friday. I'm grateful for the job I have...

    Black Friday

    Heh, I remember the one year I worked at the Fry's in Tempe... black friday was interesting to say the least. That line had to be at least 2 miles long stretched throughout the store, I shit you not. That said, those are some pretty awesome deals. They're going to lose a bit of money on quite a...

    Just bought a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500

    That's good to hear man, I see FAR too many people sliding around in trucks/suvs with locked up wheels, wondering why they can't stop... Fortunately I live on a quieter side of town now, as far as traffic is concerned, but any time I go to my parent's house, it's an adventure. Basically have to...

    Piston hitting spark plug!:(

    Good to know man. The idea of leaning out mine kinda makes me wonder, given that it was NA, but I suppose shit happens. Changed a spark plug and never had the issue again. Hell, drove for some ~40-50 miles with a bum 5th cylinder. God that thing was rough on the way back haha...
