    just spent $700 on two tires...

    I have no idea wtf happened... It was discount that did the balancing. No I didn't have road hazard as these were on the rims when I bought them. And I'm getting the tire rack price for them ($262 a piece) After road hazard, tax, mounting and other BS, it came to $700... :nono:

    How Much Did You Spend?

    I think adding it all up, I'm in for around 16 thousand.... not that bad, I guess. Considering some people are in for around 8-10k range, I'm actually feeling pretty good about 16, but now that I think about it while I'm writing, it may be closer to 17k.... I need to stop thinking.:icon_conf

    Need wiring info for HKS TEMS controller

    were the wire harnesses removed??? It's a plug and play from the factory. Run the loom over to the passenger kick panel, hook it in.... Of course, if you got one that was cut or something, that is a bunch of wires to splice, and I don't have any help for you sorry

    Engine damage during shipping. Lots of pics.

    I cannot believe it was shipped that way, jesus even if you buy a POS JDM ragged and rusted to hell engine they do a better job of securing it for shipping. :thumbsdow And putting loose, expensive crap on the top of the engine and securing with pastic wrap, downright pathetic...... what...

    check out this gauge cluster

    that is pretty sweet, that would be great to have more gauges in there, but getting the additional ones mounted in there would be a pita wouldn't it?

    Anyone ever tried this Forge BPV?

    heh, I want something that will: A: fit in stock location B: act as a BPV, not vent (I don't like the sound, I know... sacriliege to some) C: don't want to have to weld a mounting bung on my coated HKS pipe, otherwise would go aftermarket BOV with recirc kit thought about going SSQV with...

    Does ANYONE have the Full Do-Luck kit?

    I had a full kamanari kit on my first supra, with top notch painting and installation, it looked really sharp, but man does it ever suck to have fiberglass bumpers.... had to have that thing fixed a couple of times.... I'll stick with stock, only thing I MIGHT consider, is a bomex lip, but...

    Ebay

    I think we all said $1000 is the minimum you should get back. Given you are going to have to sink at least that into it to get a car in drivable condition, I'd say you should get more. Not disclosing that scratch is also deplorable.. what is it with people that makes them think the internet...

    BFD, give the caliper back, when the hell are you going to need a new stock replacement caliper, never (or close to never). tell him $1k or the highway and you're proceeding. This guy sounds like a dick, but at least you are getting somewhere. let us know how it progresses.

    Ebay

    holy crap, that is bad, you got taken for a ride. I was thinking you paid like $1000-1500 MAX! $2800 is TOO MUCH. You should try and do what you can through ebay and paypal and for sure send him a letter saying you are going to take him to small claims court over this if he doesn't make good...

    Ebay

    That sucks, sorry about that. I wouldn't have given him dick and then fought it out with paypal to get the deposit back. That is why I ALWAYS select credit card payment thru paypal, they try and discourage it for many reason, one being they don't want you to be able to dispute the charge back...

    Would anyone be interested in a TRD shift knob group buy?

    I'm in if it is confirmed real deal threaded, not plastic one size fits all b.s. and its decently cheaper than I can get from watson at Champion since I don't pay for shipping. (and are we all certain the the real deal TRD ones of late aren't the plastic crap?)
