    My Car vs 2009 Porsche 997

    I'm sure jet pilots think drag cars are slow too... ;)

    Snow Pics! Supra soon to be garaged...

    Well that goes without saying... n/a's are perfect for this. Enough power to have a bit of fun, but responsive enough and not so over powered that you'll end up in trouble. ;) Personally I've only ever had trouble with one hill, it was in my Mk2 with it's worn out LSD. Ended up spinning out...

    13.66 basically stock 87 turbo. 8.5 psi

    Bandimere is the one I was thinking. That's still a drop from where I tune the car though, it's ~6200-6500 here.

    Gran Turismo 5, anyone?

    Does it deem one crazy to flip the bed up against the wall (vertically) in order to attach your G27 to one of these?: http://www.amazon.com/Playseat-Evolution-Gaming-Seat/dp/B000O00JE8/ref=pd_sim_sg_1

    Anybody have an unlimited Autocheck subcritption right now?

    Hey guys, was wondering if anyone happens to have an Autocheck account (Carfax would work too, but AC seems to have more records) and could check a VIN out for me? If not, not a big deal, just happened to find something I'm gonna go check out (it's ~4 hours one way...) and would like to know...

    Snow Pics! Supra soon to be garaged...

    Finally stuck some snow for the first of many times here the other night, fun times. Supras actually make good winter DD's with good tires and an LSD. So, that you in the skirt Hedorah? :p

    From a Dig? Or a Roll?

    Generally speaking I do just fine with going from a dig, because if I get a good launch, most people will never have a chance. Even if I do bad, my car has enough top end to chase down damn near anything. Most of the people who can chase me down though, don't have the traction to beat me from a...

    transmission options

    What are your intentions for the car? That should determine your transmission choice. Personally, I love the R154, although a 6th gear would be quite nice on the highway, get the rpms down to less than 2k at 75... I had a T56 in my 01 SS, it was quite possibly the best aspect of that car. Can't...

    New Supra owner impressions

    Welcome to the addiction man. An 84 Z31 is what got me into turbo sports cars in the first place, and an RX7 TII is what cemented the love of them. It wasn't until a friend of mine took me for a ride in "Janelle" that I knew I had to have a Mk3. Ended up getting one about a year later, an 88 n/a...

    Anyone know any good radiator

    Personally I would stick with a mechanical fan if I had the space. That said, i haven't had any problems with my electric fan setup, even running the thing hard through canyons (in boost most of the way for ~8 minutes), the car only got up to around 215, 220*. Not hard to make a shroud for the...

    13.66 basically stock 87 turbo. 8.5 psi

    I drove on bald ass drag radials in the snow a couple times, I could drive them to Vegas again next year, as a last resort. Only thing I hated about them is that they're rather loud for a road trip tire, so... I'm thinking of bringing a 2-3 car caravan of friends. One for luggage and people (the...

    Project "so I have this widebody..."

    VR Wheels may have something that'll work for you. I remember seeing some Work (?) 17x 14 (?) with a crazy negative offset. Were absolutely gorgeous, and really weren't that expensive, all things considered. I think they were around $2500, you might look into them. Aside from that, I like the...

    Gran Turismo 5, anyone?

    Already paid off my collector edition. What can I say, I've been a GT junkie since GT2 came out in 1999. :) PSN id = BHG_LOL

    Custom Liscense Plate For Sleeper

    My whole car has been a rolling joke of sorts. I stuck a hello kitty sticker on the window just to mess with people. Has a pink bow, goes great with dark tinted windows, and it a little bit of salt in the wounds of those dumb enough to rev at me. :p Same here in WY, you gotta explain what...

    Anyone know any good radiator

    If you're getting a PWR radiator, you'll only be able to keep the stock fan if you stay 7m. Going 1j (and possibly 2j, I don't know of anyone who runs a PWR and a 2j) will cause some space issues unfortunately, so electric fans are your only option. :(

    Ford Ranger Drive shaft carrier bearing

    Makes sense, IF it works. For that price you might as well get a custom driveshaft made up or get one of the pre-made aluminum/steel types.

    glove box question....

    This is the only way I could see it working, but if the gauges are meant to have any vertical angle to them, you're gonna have the passenger door problem with the floor...

    13.66 basically stock 87 turbo. 8.5 psi

    Seriously? 1.95 on snow tires? That's a hell of a launch for a snow tire... I would know haha. Time and mph amount to about what I'm getting, power wise, but... snow tire??? Wow. So safe to say I could probably net ~1.8 60' with 275 Nitto NT05's, just gotta launch at a higher rpm?
