    quick Q for you guys with HIDs

    HID is simply just a type of bulb. HID projectors (decent ones, at least) work very well to focus the light produced by said bulbs. Most cheap HID kits found online are AWFUL and SPRAY light in EVERY direction. They WILL blind everyone else on the road with most stockor cheap aftermarket...

    gurgling noise in morning?

    You have air in the system. If you have air gurgling around behind the at operating temp, you may have a bhg. If so, those would be exhaust gases you hear...

    exhaust...

    When BorHor measured his I recall it was ~1.9" up to 2.25" in some spots. 2.5" is the common upgrade size. Get a nice resonator and muffler unless you like drone...

    Comprehensive Lighting Modification Thread

    I haven't tried to do the exterior key ring yet, but I'd bet it's a 12V incandescent and would require the same thing I did for the dash buttons. ;) All bulb types I am sure of/have experience with are listed in post #1 about 2/3 down.

    Comprehensive Lighting Modification Thread

    Updated with dimmer info. I still want to do the headlight rewire/h4 conversion and install projector fogs (or at least better fogs) so stay tuned for that. I'll also be wiring in a viper alarm system soon so the progress may, as always, be slow. Hope everyone is finding this somewhat useful!! :)

    Compression Test Results

    So the other day, my roommate and I were bored and decided to do some compression tests. Figured I'd record them here and share them with anybody who gives a damn. Here are the results from my 90 N/A with ~60k since a full Toyota dealership rebuild. 291,000 miles on original block. I did...

    what the hell is goin on ????

    Only thing that fixes a bhg is replacing the head gasket. Bar none. Other work should done along with it of course, but short of pulling the head, nothing will fix a bhg.

    Pay attention while you drive

    Fuck me... Serious shit. Good reminder to pay attention and drive safe. If not for yourself than for the innocent people you endanger when you don't. **Edit: If the couple on the wall thing happened to me and my g/f I'm near positive I'd have nightmares for the rest of my life. I hope that...

    Cold Air Intake

    You're right, I don't have any facts to back it. I guess I should be saying: I definitely feel a difference. Fwiw, I expected better results when I first installed it a year ago. At that point placebo would have been very present. I have since gone back and swapped them in and out a...

    Cold Air Intake

    Using an apexi "power intake" (note that it is NOT a Cold Air Intake), I notice a substantial increase in torque from about 3k and on. I have tested it multiple times by swapping back the stock air box/filter and comparing the two and the difference is noticeable. Unfortunately, I dont care...

    wierd rattling after oil change

    Sounds like you did everything right with regards to the simple oil change. There is no need to "prime" your oiling system with a simple oil change. Don't worry about rod knock if you have oil pressure and never ran low on oil. Bad rod knock is LOUD and does not sound anything like an aluminum...

    7m-ge exhaust

    Precisely. I'm still debating on my N/A motor. After owning a turbo supra, the difference is night and day, even in stock form comparing a beat-up turbo and a pristine N/A. All this being said, CRE has one hell of an N/A. He simply walks away from my car. He has a well maintained, stock...

    A question About people

    Thieves are among the scum of our Earth. The mentality which allows one to steal without remorse is something horrible. In my mind theft is not far from abuse, rape, random assault, etc... Thieves, go fuck yourself.
