    2T & 3T engine questions

    Not watching ^ that while I have to be stuck here at work. :p Besides, my next toy is likely to be a 7 replica.

    7M NA to......?????

    Errr... 1j's were factory in Mk3's, 2j's were not. And torque on either is a joke without boost anyway... But no need to poke with sticks. :) I look at it like this: If you need or desire your car for a daily, get a JZ or Chevy like IJ has suggested. If you just want a toy, and have the...

    Tires

    Nitto NT05. Probably the stickiest tire for the price, and while they're not gonna last forever... they're cheap enough that you probably won't mind. 200 treadwear, AA grip, A temp, good tires all around, I'm itching to put on my set, but gonna wait until middle of May I think. Stupid snow...

    You know you're a Supra owner when...

    Quit smoking, and save even more! Read the thread in my sig for more details. ;) Can't say I'm quite that good yet, but interior removal and assembly is a quick job these days... You might be a Supra owner if you have no less than 21 tires between your two cars. :p

    2jzul8r sold ?

    20k is a reasonable price for a car of that caliber. Just because it's old doesn't mean anything, it's the shape it's in, no? Try building a car that nice, or shop around and see what you can get for 20k... a used Camry perhaps?

    Cooking help for the noob on the go

    Good point Grim, I just meant the ingredients though. ;) Good thing I'm reading this thread at lunch haha... Oh, and the GF's mom and brother found us a book: 100 Ways To Cook Ramen. Sounds like my kind of cooking!

    Floor epoxy (garage use)?

    You know, I've never understood where that came from. Who pounds sand??? Anyhow, I'll look into our area and see if there even *is* a contractor for this sort of thing around here. If so, I might be able to get some of their materials to work with... maybe. Thanks for the experience, I...

    Police perception amongst the general public.

    You know, speaking of being pulled over in Utah while driving a Supra, I had a rather similar thing happen to me. I bought my Mk2 in AZ, flew down there, did a few days of maintenance on it to make sure it would survive the trip home, went to the AZ dmv, changed the title over, and bought a 30...

    5w40 synthetic for a 1J?

    Not really, it's friggin cold up here some days. Gotta love that my car DOES start though... and NOACK? You're also a lot lower elevation and near a relatively warm body of water... We're stuck completely inland and in the mountains of a frozen desert. I've seen colder, but not too often...

    Floor epoxy (garage use)?

    Acid etch twice? Not a big deal, just confirming. And I won't be doing this until the weather warms up anyway. Ideally I'll be installing a gas heater in the garage before winter if funds allow... Fortunately, there isn't much grease or stains on my floor to worry about, but any I find will be...

    Police perception amongst the general public.

    ^Cool story bro. No, seriously... good to hear that an officer took the time to check to see if it was stolen, I'd rather appreciate that myself...

    Cooking help for the noob on the go

    Haha, I'm in a similar boat... GF and I are gonna start cooking for ourselves. I make a mean pasta dish (moose meat!!!), but aside from that, it's all learning for me too. You realize mexican food is just meat, cheese, veggies, and a tortilla of some sort, arranged in different ways, right...

    5w40 synthetic for a 1J?

    I've been running Rotella 5w40 synthetic for a long time now, barely have any burn off at all. The only bit of burning off I suspect is coming from one of my twins... Good oil, and not terribly expensive. Also ran Rotella 15w40 (non synthetic) for a while and never had any burning with that...
