    SBC/LS1 with R154, anyone done it?

    Where I live, even Stevie Wonder would spot an aluminum genIII/IV v8 sooner than later...

    Spoilers and Wings: Spoiler or wing

    I remember seeing Ray's car back in... oh, must have been 2007 or 2008 at SILV, he made just shy of 1000rwhp, so that wouldn't surprise me. IIRC, Tony of UMS (that orange and black monster) took the cake not only for 7m's, but of the entire event last year. That... Is... Awesome.

    What say you about this pic?

    I think Canuckerz got it right on this one fellows. Looks to me to be a 1st generation Celica Liftback with a Mk3 front clip. Never would have thought that the Celica was wide enough in the rear to do this sort of cut and paste job. I am reading a rather thick book on the Celica and Supra...

    88 supra rear speaker

    Eh, I've done that replacement on a couple Supras over the years. Longest part of the job is merely taking off the rear interior bits needed to access it. If I remember correctly, most of the interior panels have to either come off or at least be loosened. Could be wrong though, it has been a...

    What kind of car would make you feel worst if you lost to it in a race?

    All in the details man... I suppose if your twins were on the way out, and the other guy is having a better day or is a better driver, it could happen to all of us. As for the Probe, that V6 that's a common swap out of the MX6 wasn't a bad motor, just cramped as hell. They put out over 200hp...

    Rich At SIP Strikes Again!

    Why bag on a guy who isn't even really on here anymore though Andy? I mean, he tarnished his own reputation here already...

    psn gamertags?

    Another one of these threads? Haha... oh wait, you found out how to post up your tag on the side bar there. Maybe make this a MW3 thread then? I know we started a GT5 thread along the same lines last year... :) As for mine, it's in the side bar there. Worth a laugh if you haven't seen it yet.

    Need help finding a type of work pants

    Might have to get a pair of those myself. Always did think they were pretty cool back in high school. That was back when big leg piped jeans were cool though...

    Just bought a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500

    That's what SHE said...? Too soon? :p So, from a Geo to a full size 4 door Dodge in less than a month. Man, talk about the grass being greener on the other side haha... They make decent tow rigs for what they are. Just remember that 4wd won't help stop that 5200lb mass any quicker and you'll...

    Piston hitting spark plug!:(

    Well, one thing is for sure, I'm definitely not an engineer after all that reading. What I think I got is that incipient detonation is the 'pinging' sound spoken of, and that by the time you realize its happening, it's most likely already fried something in the engine unless you shut it down by...

    Cool/Rare parts thread?

    Just depends on who you talk to. Some of the dealerships are pretty cool to deal with, but most are not in my experience. Just a totally different culture there. These pictures are cool as shit man, I thought having an original owner's manual in the 79 Celica I had bought a few years ago was...

    Sexy Supra - advice?

    I'll make that $0.04... unless you only drive your car in more or less controlled conditions like the tracks. Even then, if Australia is anywhere near as dusty as where I live, I wouldn't do it. Sleepy eye thing, looks alright if done well, but like has been mentioned, doing it right is a...

    Ahh... I see. Not horrible. That car at 6:48, was that Ray's? Wonder why it was smoking...

    Horrible MPG, No Apparent Problems

    I was about to hoist the BS flag on that one, but then I looked at your location. Do you even HAVE hills and mountains in Nebraska? :p I always wondered what sort of mileage you could get if your focus was on efficiency with one of these cars...

    Need help finding a type of work pants

    Were those custom made by Ian? I do hear a lot about his 'chaps' around here... and he did mention buying blue pants in this very thread... :sarcasm:

    Ever wondered what a Torque Converter does? Watch this and get educated!

    Would this same principal apply to viscous coupling LSD differentials as well? I always just chalked up autos to voodoo.

    Built a smoker this weekend...

    Normally I can't even finish a whole steak before it grows cold, being a little too picky about fat trimming for my own good, but a buddy of mine cooks what might as well be dinosaur steaks in a smoker quite similar to yours there. I think I probably ate 3lbs of meat before it even hit the...

    Who wants to move to Australia?

    I wouldn't count roos as a pro from all I've read in Ian's threads... they're just funny looking suicidal Aussie deer from what I gather. :p

    Piston hitting spark plug!:(

    Rattle? Not really wanting to be spoon-fed here, but I think you've lost me sir. Detonation?
