    Swine Flu

    You're supposed to call the CDC, or a doctor and they'll come make a house call. If someone might be infected the last thing they want them doing is sitting in a waiting room with other patients to possibly infect them. I hope she ok though. How old is she?

    $150 bet for me to run 13.5, need advice

    Yeah, but isn't the 1j rated at 280hp/268lbft from the factory? And I'm sure this wasn't his first time on the track like our buddy queenskid here. BTW queenskid, you did say you were going to get some practice before the big day. That should have been last week. Did you go to the...

    The supra's totaled! :(

    Do you know anybody that does bodywork in your area? It doesn't look like much to fix. Make the school pay for the damage, and put you in a rental. After all, it is their fault.

    Age discrimination

    *takes a bow* Thank you, thank you. I'm old IJ. I've been around the block. I'm turning 35 this Saturday. Gosh, where did the years go?

    yes! now i have a real car!!!!

    Looks pretty rough. It's going to take some time to make her look pretty. I hope she runs like a clock. I still would have kept the Civic hatch for a daily driver. It sure looks like you'll have some down time fixing that MKIII up. Good luck, and happy wrenching.

    Age discrimination

    Whenever I've been out of a job temporarily I've always hit up on Temp Services/ Day Labor place that gets you jobs. Most of it was crap work, and the pay was shitty... but it was work to hold me over. I've once worked at a construction site that all I did was scoop up gravel off the street...

    I would have kept the Honda at least for a DD. You're going to need it.

    No, I haven't been to any meets in over 7 years. My car has been down that long. I haven't had time or money to get this car going. It's a long story. I really don't know why I'm hanging on to this car. Anyhow, nice to see another local Supra owner here on this site. Ever visit...

    Risky Devil JZA70 - drift

    Not my style either. I've never been a fan of that much negative camber. I'm sure it helps in drifting, but you get little contact on the pavement. I'm interested in seeing it in action though.

    Jeff's Supra vs Manhole (Manhole wins - pics inside)

    I don't know... I'd take that R154 to Marlin Crawler to get looked at the rebuilt. Send the bill to the City.

    $150 bet for me to run 13.5, need advice

    I highly suggest you find your local dragstrip, and get to practicing launching & rowing through those gears. http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=dragstrip+in+New+York+city&fb=1&split=1&gl=us&view=text&ei=trrJSdyoIpvItgfs7KihAw&sa=X&oi=local_group&resnum=4&ct=more-results&cd=1...

    $150 bet for me to run 13.5, need advice

    Even driving the piss out of it, I can't see you running any faster than 13.80's. You'll get your $50, but not he $150. I do hope you prove me wrong though. When are you going to the track?? Please post the results. Good luck, and I do hope you win big. On a side note, if he had a T67...

    How hard is it to rebuild your own turbo ????

    turbochargers.com out of Houston, Tx. Should be close to you. You can have them balance the wheel, and machine the housing for it to fit. Is it a 67mm inducer? If so, that is pretty big.

    Fuel pump & line questions..

    Thanks for that tip IJ. I'll keep that in mind when I buy one. Will it have "made in Germany" marked on it somewhere? Or specified before buying one online?

    painting the supra

    If there's ever a question of incompatablity on what's currently on the car and what you're going to spray use water borne primer. They do have water borne self etching primer as well for any bare metal you have already exposed. You can not wet sand this primer. Just do you final block...

    UPS came bearing gifts

    LMAO, and that's why I try to pack the shit out of stuff i ship. I think I need to try the "drop from the shoulder" test before I send it out to be on the safe side.

    Fuel pump & line questions..

    With baffle and all? I guess I can find somebody here in town to do that. I have meager welding skills myself. But do I have to go through all of that trouble? I'll leave that as my last resort if I can't find another route. Thank you though for your input.

    Fuel pump & line questions..

    I'm in the market of buying a Bosch external 044 pump. I see that it's recommended to run these inline between your intank pump, and fuel rail. What if the stock pump dies? Will your flow rate to the fuel rail lower? If you have your car tuned to a certain flow rate and suddenly it drops...
