    Cool/Rare parts thread?

    Does a "new" part count if it's a one-off and pretty cool? If so I might have something sitting upstairs...

    1uz drifting driveshaft???

    My biggest concern with these cars is critical speed... If strength were my concern, I've seen stockers hold up just fine in 600-700hp applications just fine.

    Cars you'd one day like to mod...

    There's a guy in Detroit who makes a kit to swap in Chevy v8's into Fieros... I looked into that a LONG time ago. Archie comes to mind, I believe that was the name of the company... I've seen ONE F40 my whole life. Probably my only 'lottery' car in my eyes. Good to see I'm not the only one...

    Whats your fastest highway mph ??

    Hey, a stock n/a *could* do 130+, just not on flat ground. ;) There's a hill about 70 miles from me that has quite a grade to it though... Think I had mine up to ~5000rpm or 5500 in 4th on the auto, 4.30 rear. Again, steep steep hill, straight as can be, and about 3 miles to the bottom. Stock...

    2011 Tax Refunds

    Wish I had the space to say bring it with you guys and sell it to me, but I'm looking to buy a house here sometime in the near enough future... As for mine, I need to try and get my w2 info from Home Depot for this last year... I'll update when I find out. :)

    Gran Turismo 5, anyone?

    Makes sense, it's like the people who could beat those old NES games back in the day...

    Precision 62mm Billet Turbo 6262

    Done a bit of research since then and came to the same conclusion myself. Almost wish they had a .7x a/r for this turbo though... Got a few minutes? ;)

    This makes me sad..and not because of the body damage

    I was wondering about the extra connector on the alternator as well... I hate to say it, but I almost like the arrangement (alignment) of the tail lights. At least, I've seen worse...

    1uz drifting driveshaft???

    IJ, I believe that it's Titan that makes the CF driveshafts for our cars. Not really cheap, but not out of the question either. Viable, safe replacement? Heard anything about them? This could be a post of ignorance speaking here, but I figure this is as good a place to ask as any...

    Gran Turismo 5, anyone?

    Makes me wonder just WHY these people are so good. I'm good in a real car, the feedback (or lack there of) kills me on games.

    ST. GEORGE, UT cruise anyone??

    If you guys wanna meet up, you'll wanna probably PM me for fastest response. SLC is just a hop skip and jump away for me, it's only about 2-2.5 hours depending on how far in we go. Anyone gonna be attending ALMS (American Le Mans Series) later this year? I went last summer, and had a blast...

    Removing Seats

    I would hope they're more comfortable... I always thought Mk3 Recaros were really hard.

    This makes me sad..and not because of the body damage

    Yes. Wheels are Nissan, complete with Nissan logo center caps. I think I just threw up a little... Nice tires on the front it looks like they might be NT05's if I'm not mistaken. Still... no. Just... no. :nono:

    You might be a 1J owner if.....

    ...if you ran out of places to hang your BHG trophy gaskets in the garage. :p

    Gran Turismo 5, anyone?

    I gave it a shot, did not rank all that well at all. Granted, that was when I was still getting used to the G27 and using the thing on manual shifting for the first time... Could probably improve my times, but I know I'm not even in the running, there are MUCH better people out there than I. :)

    I guess I get one of these now....?

    I'd be getting another brother, but that's little to do with the problem at hand here. -The little metal bits you find are likely rust caused by people not using distilled water in their coolant mixture. Iron (which makes up most of your engine bay's contents) is very prone to rust when exposed...
