Certainly not much more than a comparable Supra engine though... Well, I guess they could be actually. I don't know that I've spent more than $100 maintaining my car in the past year if I'm honest. Not that I drive all that much compared to many people out there though.

I suppose the value of an item is only what the buyer deems it worthy, right? Most people that aren't "car" people would think I was nuts for what I've spent on my room full of go-fast bits. Not until they get a ride do they have any sense of appreciation for it. I can't say I've seen an "app"...

Heh, seems we are in the same boat sir. At least NP knew they were going down. Apparently the PTOM guys found out the day they were shipping the last issue, that it was the LAST issue, according to what Roger (last/former EIC) told me. Kinda sad to see all these publications go. You really...

Like I told my girlfriend last night, you can't legislate crazy away. If someone intends to do something like this, gun control laws aren't going to stop them. I sincerely doubt it would even be a hindrance. If they take away gun rights from law abiding citizens, the people that will still get...

Is that you Bender? :rofl: You don't get cold weather silly... :p Couldn't have said it better myself. I'll admit, I didn't notice the part about the guy doing it for his coworker's sake, BUT... like Jordan here points out, the guy probably wasn't a real threat. Guns are usually a weapon of...

Nice map you posted there Kelson, and thanks for the advice. If we were able to attend, you can bet money that we'd be spending as much time as possible there. Not like we get to do this sort of thing often when you live in what some would consider a ways away from BFE.

Very nice, definitely looks like a hoot. A local guy has an S12 with a similar setup if I remember correctly. As for that Corolla, if it's an E7x car, you're going to have a hell of a fun time fitting a 7m in there. I had mine at the same time I had my 88 Supra, did some measuring, and the...

Such is to be expected of Japanese cars (any cars?) from that era. Hence why rust free Z's are so hard to find and tend to command healthy prices. First gen Celicas are in this same boat of desirable, yet hard to find in good condition. Also, while a diesel may not be my cup of tea (I like my...

The mere fact that they can source parts for my 1940-something (pretty convinced it's a 1948, but don't have conclusive proof) Chevy is enough for me to do some shopping with them. Sign up for their newsletter while you're at it. They have some rather amusing stories posted within, of repair...

Rail style transmission? Do you mean the rather direct shift pattern on the T56? If so, that was one of my favorite features.

Might have a bit of oil getting past the rings if you run it hard. Got some pictures?

...all in an old, sedate looking Volvo. You sir, might be my hero around here. Would be better if it were a wagon (just because), but I'll settle for the 940. :)

As for the hood venting, FM came up with a pretty good solution, albeit for a different application: http://www.flyinmiata.com/index.php?deptid=4544&parentid=0&stocknumber=29-40000 Another thing to get rid of (or at least pull off the car) considering your lack of a windshield... your washer...

You guys are making me realize how awesome my girlfriend is. She'd be checking out said engine, trying to figure out how it works, asking the occasional question, etc... I am a lucky bastard. :D You didn't do that on purpose? :aigo: Amen brother. We did mine in the engine bay. That is not an...

I can do one better. I just put a cup under the engine. If I'd stick a straw in it, the engine must be a 7m. :rofl: I keed. Albert, you're a lucky SOB sometimes. Lesson learned, check to make sure bolts are long enough? I mean that wasn't the root cause, but would that have helped? Or just made...

Being in Massachusetts, my money is on rusty brakes. Or rusty something or other. :p

I'll get the wood, someone get the rope, we have a bullshitter to burn... I don't think I've once bought a car since 2006 that I didn't take a picture of with my phone, and I don't believe you have either. :p

Nice numbers. Would probably put up a good run with most of those Mopar guys too, never hurts to have a 500-800lb advantage. Unless you're boxing, I guess, in which case you're probably boxing a bear, and that isn't a very good idea...

We were looking into these a while back. Cool concept, but they're definitely better for small engines. Think snow machine/motorcycle engines, and you have the right idea. ;) However, strap two of them on...

Brown looks pretty good on our cars, particularly with metallic paint. As for the 1j/2j vvti debate, if I were doing it again, I'd have went 2j, much as I love my 1j, if I were building another DD car with balls, vvti 2j all the way. Mostly for the extra torque, since I don't often rev the piss...
