They don't think you are insane - they think you are stupid, but they are family and they love you, so they are pulling their punches. They are also probably trying to persuade you to spend your money more wisely.

Side note for you: there is no JZA80 model of the Greddy BCC - the SW20 [MR2] model is what the MkIV guys use.

You're a SSgt in the USAF - aren't you used to hearing that by now? It works when someone is capable of getting through it, but they don't know it, and they need to figure out they have that potential in themself.

He had nine children, all of 'em boys! Hell, he sired a baseball team - an orchestra, if you count the bastards! TO NATE BRASKY!

Lift some weights. In the words of Bernie Mac, "Quit cryin' motherf_cker, do some push-ups or something!" Work out. Listen to music.

When I went "in-country" to the middle east, they specifically told us that you will use the body armor they issue to you, and that dragon-skin is NOT an alternative. They specifically prohibited us from using it. They didn't give us a reason, and they may not have a real reason. Maybe it is for...

Are you comparing a 1JZ to a Japanese or a US/Export spec 2JZ?

Brake or carb cleaner, some towels and some elbow grease. You might also want to try some of those Gojo wipes. They are like wet shop towels with an abrasive cleaner soaked in.

Look where you are right now.. on a computer. Get some friends with computers and talk to them through IM or something. Set up "dates" ahead of time so you don't need to know where they are at - you will know where they will be at the time you specified to meet, though. Talking on the phone...

Just don't wear it around all the time. I've seen people who wear them, even when they are not on the phone. It's a tool, not a fashion accessory, you know?

That is roughly what I will be doing, but I will probably stay at BPU with the stock turbochargers set to true twin conversion [TTC] for awhile, until I can afford a turbo kit, fuel system, stand-alone and tuning.

The cams are not as aggressive as the US spec cams. Not by much, but it's a difference. If I was running a US spec ECU I would want US spec injectors, cams and the MAF. Even small differences can be bad when it comes to air and fuel. The J-Spec 440cc injectors are high impedance [saturated]...

Really, if you are any good at wiring and following schematics, you can extend and re-wire a JDM harness to BE a US harness. With a US harness, I believe you have to do a little bit of wiring anyways to set up the MAP sensor for an AEM...

That's one of the few cars I would consider buying for myself or my wife. It looks classy and sporty without being too small or stupid looking. Decent gas mileage and also bigger than the average Honda engine. Overall, looks like a good choice! The only thing I could ask of it to be different is...

If it is a J-Spec motor and you want to just buy a package deal, it might be to your benefit. http://suprastore.com/575rkit.html Here is a kit that will make the numbers you want. It still needs an intercooler and ignition upgrade, and is for a US-spec 2JZ-GTE. With this package on a J-Spec...

No, I have not done a 2JZ swap. Unfortunately, I ran out of funds and separated from the military. I am currently unemployed, and my car is across the country. I still have many parts in storage which are needed for this conversion, and they will see action eventually. Your plans are exactly...

Look at a BPU setup. Face it: when you put a 2JZ in another car, it is probably going to at least get a new custom downpipe. An intake setup and intercooler with pipes are also things that people like to upgrade as a matter of need. You might as well throw a test pipe and cat-back exhaust on...

a: US spec turbochargers, low impedance 550cc injectors, injector resistor pack, US spec cams, ECU, MAF. That's all I can think of at the moment.. b You have a bit of work ahead with harness work. c Yes, you need to do a little bit of sledgehammer work, but NOT that much! d ODBI - less oxygen...

I know HKS had a sequential transmission for the MkIV, but it was about $10,000. Generally, MkIII owners don't have deep enough pockets for a sequential setup, and the transmissions we have hold the power that most of us make. Why must your transmission be sequential? Why a MkIII?

I eat a variety of food. I think my favorites are curry beef with rice, fried chicken and lasagna.
