    "Exhibition of *excel*eration" ticket question...

    But, but... TV wouldn't lie to me would it? :icon_roll Did a lot of research last night on the particular statute, but couldn't find anything on whether or not it sticks to the record, is reported to insurance, nothing. Looks like I'm gonna have to talk to a lawyer on this one, at least get an...

    50 years ago today

    Wow, Sheppard was 50 years ago huh? First "history" that I can say I honestly remember was the Berlin Wall being torn down, I think I was about 5...

    Oh FML some days... Haha, sorry about that man. I think it's the avatars that throw me off. :p Thanks for the clarification SC, those totally look similar to me... I guess I know now where GJ got the name, learned something today. :)

    Anyone ever run a 3.4L bottom end on a 1j head?

    Just curious if anyone has ever mustered up the cash to do so? I figure if my bottom end ever goes, I'd love to get one of the 3.4L 2j bottom ends for my head. The thing would be a mid range monster... What would you call such a setup anyway, a 1.75JZ? 2.1JZ? :p

    Thermostat Removal?

    I've had that happen a couple times on different engines, I always figure the gasket was cooked onto the housing. Grab a screw driver or some pliers and pry it out. If any gasket sticks, you might wanna gently clean up the housing.

    Is the online TSRM down?

    Wonder if Toyota is finally trying to shut the Cygnus site down? Bonus points for anyone who knows where the name of that site came from...

    6.98@193 7mgte

    That's what happens when you combine a ton of power, launching on lots of boost, tall sticky tires, and a vehicle that weighs ~1500lbs. ;)

    30 mpg

    Best mileage I've ever seen is the stretch of highway between Nevada, Arizona, and Utah, on I-15, you cross over all three around the Virgin River Canyon area. Something magical about this place, it's quite encouraging to put the foot down, yet I've still averaged 28-30mpg through that section...

    1st Time Home Buy - Any Real Estate Agents around (Tips/Etc)

    I hadn't thought of that, but it'll be on the list of things to do. I have 3 bathrooms, and it's just myself and girlfriend gonna be living there, so that second bathroom upstairs probably won't be used often if at all. Thanks for the tip Poodles. :)

    Osama Bin Laden is Dead (Discuss)

    We've already set up camp, it's not like they can just take the tents down in a hurry like that... who really knows though? How's the opium trade been doing over in that part of the world since we arrived?

    "Exhibition of *excel*eration" ticket question...

    No offense taken Mike, I am certainly no expert when it comes to dealing with this sort of thing. I've only had one prior ticket, but have been pulled over plenty. Usually I get out of these sorts of things, but not this time, so... not offending me in the least. Lotta good advice in here guys...

    Masive inline 6 twin turbo engine found at local scrap yard

    Good point. I don't have much experience with this sort of engine, just know they're all over in the fields around here.

    My 88Quest with a 1jz

    Good Lord man, 4.62:1? Are you trying to crawl your car? :rofl: Seriously though, 3.54 would make a nice rear gear for a Supra... at least for big power cars, and cruising. 4.62 would make a nice drift setup though, or road race. You'd never see more than 130mph though...

    1jz temp questions

    Oil cooler is a good idea, I need to get one myself... well, if the fan setup I bought doesn't cool it off better than the current setup anyway.

    Haha, between Wangan Midnight and Initial D over the years, I think I could agree with that. Thanks for the link by the way, I'm gonna have to pick that up tonight.

    Showing off the new garage

    I will say this much, owning a house is friggin expensive, but the freedom to park your baby INDOORS is quite nice. I can leave the top off and windows down whenever I want now, no need to worry about prying eyes or people messing with my car being out on the street...

    Megan track 32 way coilovers.Ride height adjustment issues.

    2" drop would be pretty close to the far side of things I would think... How much do the Eibach pro springs drop the front of the car? I had those on mine, and it was a significant drop from stock, at least in front.
