    Low coolant, but it refills itself.

    I got the cheapo gasket kit from Mizumo auto parts on ebay. I used a Toyota OEM head gasket straight from the dealer. DO NOT use an el-cheapo head gasket. ;) Honestly, for the intake gaskets I don't really need to have the nicest gasket. The exhaust manifold gasket, however, you may want to buy...

    emissions testing

    If EGR was missing, he would likely fail the exhaust analysis portion of the test; Which I believe he said he passed just fine. He failed only the equipment inspection.

    16 year old drivers insurance = ?

    Huh? Why on Earth would that be illegal? Makes perfect sense to me that a car in Downtown L.A. is a MUCH higher risk than one 50 miles outside Fargo, North Dakota...

    emissions testing

    For failing the equipment portion, aren't they required to tell you EXACTLY what piece you are missing? It seems outrageous that they can simply tell you that you are missing a mysterious piece. :dunno: Are you sure they didn't specify FUEL injection? Maybe it was a mis-type by the technician...

    LSD (differential!)questions.

    Or someone like me could have owned both a turbo and N/A and put the lsd into said N/A and put the open diff into the turbo. But I'm not a douche, so I'll be swapping them back when I sell the turbo. :)

    Low coolant, but it refills itself.

    O_O :eek: :aigo: Dude..... full, freshly rebuilt GTE would have been about that much if you did some of the work. i hope that price includes a lot of labor. That crazy for a GE... That too. Phantom: My bhg fix cost me ~$500 after all was said and done. That included new coolant hoses...

    Project Canon is a GO!

    Dude... so cool! It's a big step up from the film photos you have shown previously. Lets see some shots of the supra perhaps... :)

    Engine Failure

    Been said before, but oil, oil, oil, oil and more oil. Oh and keep checking your oil. ;) Keep changing it on time. Check your oil, check your oil and then after you've forgotten to check your oil for a week, go check your oil. ;) A goof filter, aka NOT Fram, will help too. I believe the best...

    Cheap Airfair and hotels

    Looking at that site for 30 seconds, it reeks of scam/pyramid scheme marketing. Beware.

    no.1 speed sensor

    R154(turbo tranny), and w58(NA tranny) have different cables for a reason. Your speedo will be off and will require recalibration if you interchange the two.

    Thinking about moving to Colorado

    If all are tinted, 27% is the minimum. If fronts are clear, anything is allowed in back. If you do 30% on front and 20% on back and quarter windows, hardly any cop will have the necessary measuring equipment to tell you your backs are too dark. ;) Its only a $75 citation anyways...

    Really bad compression

    Did you test it wet? You should have and that would lend a thought as to whether you have bad rings on any one cylinder. If numbers don't hardly change when wet, you most likely have problems in the upper side of things.

    GPS recommendations?

    Any Garmin will serve you well. TomTom is ok, but I haven't found the same cool dashboard view you get with the garmins. (shows speed, top speed, trip mileage, avg speed, etc...) "Getta, getta, getta, get a Garmin!!!"

    16 year old drivers insurance = ?

    Ya, that makes sense, but I keep hearing gender plays into your rate? If I were to judge based on my limited experience I'd say girls should pay more. :D 3 of my 4 good female friends in high school totalled at least one car. None of my male friends (10 or so) got an accident or even a ticket...

    Oh! Twist and shout is an awesome choice! Not my "style" of music, but after a few drinks that song is INCREDIBLE!!! :)
