    The Horse and the Beast (56k Fix a headgasket or something)

    They look pretty cool, why are they "bad pictures?" It's not really clearly lit or anything but I think it looks awesome! I Love the one where the 3.0 badge on the supra is visible in front of the mustang's nose.

    Irrational fears.

    I understand that feeling, I had an accident a while back where some guy just completely randomly hit me in the rear quarter (would have been a t-bone if I hadn't seen his headlights coming and sped up) and was thinking up all these possible situations every time I took a turn or changed lanes...

    Irrational fears.

    I have a sort of strange one. When I'm travelling down the road, and there is a lane I am about to merge in, if there is another car on the other side of that lane that could possibly hit me if they decided to suddenly merge with no signal (which happens a lot around here) I am actually...

    =( I think I may have rod knock... help?

    Hmm I just torqued down all the studs but the one that stripped (or whatever is causing it to just spin and not tighten) and the sound persists. I think it is quieter though! I do think it's pretty likely this sound is just the leaking manifold now, so I'm going to get new studs and look into...

    Oh ignorance.

    IMHO, the Corvette was never built as a muscle car, it's always been a sports car. I guess it was made around the time period of muscle cars and is American with a V8, but it is not considered a muscle car by most people because it was made to handle and wasn't just made with raw power in mind...

    looking for a jdm

    It really is a gamble, I got a clean looking engine from tigerjapanese, but the harness was cut off even though I called them to ask explicitly if the engine I was purchasing had a complete uncut harness. I may have rodknock on it too... but I am not sure about that. The HG looked excellent...

    =( I think I may have rod knock... help?

    Yes! I can sometimes hear it a little bit when starting in first gear. It really confuses me. I'll be honest, I've not had much experience with engines, and that's why I'm asking around. I really should get a video up. You know... I started it up again today and when the engine was cold I...

    You have a two-tone blue interior? Did it come stock? Pics?

    7mgte 1977 celica

    :love::love::love: This is going to be great! I've always wanted one of those Celica liftbacks. There was a pristine one in the yard of the guy I bought my Supra from, he said he drove all the way to California and towed it back to North Carolina because he had never found one in such good...

    I bought a vette

    *confused* Do you have a vette or not? I have to say, if this is an april fool's day thing it's the best one I've seen today.

    New exhaust and no running car :(

    Looks big, sounds quiet =) I considered one but the piping's ID is less than 3" and the RS-R was on sale. I actually think it's a bit too loud and run it with the silencer in lol.

    I bought a vette

    Corvettehero?! =( You'll always be Suprahero to me... and everyone else on here. Why change your name just because of a new car? If I suddenly transformed into, say, a pigeon instead of a penguin, I wouldn't call myself rtrdpigeon =)

    =( I think I may have rod knock... help?

    Skip down to the cliff notes if you don't feel like reading all of this =\ Ok, so I recently dropped in a JDM 7M-GTE with a new MHG/ARP studs into my 89 N/A, figured out the wiring, got it running, etc. I've just registered it and have been driving it for a week, and some minor issues have come...

    ever think to yourself.."who does that?"

    Guess it was someone else. Your avatar looks similar to his. Pretty badass for a family car =D

    I bought a vette

    This somehow doesn't feel like an april fool's joke. I guess I sort of understand wanting to get another running car after an engine goes down the tubes but letting the Supra sit for a year? =( Poor Supra... What is holding you back from building a new engine?

    ever think to yourself.."who does that?"

    Lulz. I'm pretty sure my friends would actually pay me to ride in my car... not very many high school kids with anything faster than an RX-8 around here. Sadly, the thought never occurred to me. Are you the guy with the really nice 2.5 RS? Did you upgrade to an STI?

    ever think to yourself.."who does that?"

    Does anyone ever experience the idiots who travel in a lane that is supposed to be for right turns only to get ahead of you (in the correct lane) to gain a few extra seconds? There is this one left turn near my house with two lanes, the right hand lane turns into a right turn only lane about 50...
