    web browser question

    If you right click on the tab to close it, also make sure you are clicking "Close" instead of "Close Other Tabs". If you accidentally do that, it will close all but the one you are looking at. Err.. wait, that's the new IE. Either way, I've never had a problem with Firefox. I've been using it...

    RIAA Sues Allofmp3.com for 1.65 TRILLION Dollars

    Agreed. Since when does any entertainer deserve the millions for what they do? The music industry doesn't grind my gears as much as Hollywood, however; in these days of digital, you aren't exactly wasting film on getting takes perfect. Hell, I could star in the movies and appear to be a...

    Cure for the withdrawls of being without a supra?

    WoW helps entertain me and pass the time, but I have to say that no matter how addicting people say WoW is, my desire to get back to car fun totally overrides thoughts about games. Games are just a means to an end at the moment.

    Cure for the withdrawls of being without a supra?

    It's not easy, that's for sure. Occupy yourself. I've been without my old car for 2 months, and everytime I see a MkIII on the road, it sticks out. I hate to say it, but hanging around on this forum isn't going to help you any, either.

    Why I ditched my 7MGTE and went 2JZ NAT with AEM

    No. The reason I want the '97 model is because it is the FIRST year of the new body style, the LAST year of the manual transmission, and the LAST year of non-VVTi. You pretty much get the best of all worlds. While I may not hold out for a manual tranny one, it's good to know the option is there...

    Why I ditched my 7MGTE and went 2JZ NAT with AEM

    Damn.. and I was planning on buying a '97 SC300 anyways. Might have to do this instead of a full GTE swap. Still, seems easy to buy "plug n' play" parts for the GTE for a BPU solution [until you are ready for turbo/fuel/management and tuning]. I don't know if it would be easier to pull the head...

    Computer Questions: Memory Issues

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835185125 This is the one I got for my Opteron. If you are using memtest and you are using dual channel memory in that configuration, run two instances of memtest simultaneously.

    Computer Questions: Memory Issues

    Man, you need to bite the bullet and upgrade RAM. Also, what is your cooling config on that processor? If stock cooling, I'd suggest an Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro 64 or equivalent. They are the best buy for a match of cheap, quiet and cold. Occasional glitches are usually the memory's fault, but...

    View on vanity plates...

    My Florida plate said "LAGGED". I don't know what my next one will be, or if I will even get one, but I am leaning towards a SC300, so I would have to skew my thinking a little bit.

    Prices for shop installed 2JZ?

    If they have experience, that doesn't sound too bad at all. Really, if it was me I'd do it on my own or with some friends, but if you don't have the experience, time, or a place to do it, yeah, that sounds like an alright deal. Also, if they are in the habit of doing 2JZ swaps, it doesn't sound...

    Home Owners - Any Advice?

    I would love that - the only problem is, most homes here have a thick stucco exterior, and the ones that ARE the type with siding, wood, etc [we'll say the type that laymen can work on easily] that need work are NOT in good neighborhoods, or are close enough to be undesireable. Safety of family...

    Home Owners - Any Advice?

    So far you guys have given me some great advice. I appreciate it all! It's going to be hard to find all of the things we want for the right price. Of course we want to live in a good part of town, but it absolutely must be affordable as well. I want a 2-car garage, not a carport, and it must be...

    Home Owners - Any Advice?

    I got out of the military and am very close to securing a good paying job. It's time for me and my wife to buy a place to live. We are really looking to get a 2-3 bedroom condo. We each have our wants for features we need in a place to live, and I think we may have found a place for major...

    Who's played gears of war on 360?

    Buddy of mine got that game. Great graphics and physics. Really goes beyond the boundaries of what I thought a console capable of. ...targeting will never be as good as a mouse though. :D

    Godfather Of Soul Passes On

    I don't like most rap or R&B, but I absolutely love James Brown. Get Up and Super Bad FTW. My wife told me about this earlier and I was pretty mad. So sad. :(

    Anyone else having a ruff x-mas?

    Hang in there, guys.. last Christmas was terrible for me. I was so angry, depressed and tired of my work situation, I was really ready to kill myself. Things do get better. Hang on, and keep in mind that sometimes things get worse before they get any better. Sometimes you have to crawl through...

    What did you get for Christmas!?

    Dude, even if she wasn't hot, that's an excellent present. She loves the hell outta you, and you gotta love her. My wife asked me "You wish I could get you something like that, huh? How in the hell am I gonna top THAT?!" and I told her "Let me get a 2JZ front clip for next Christmas". Thanks to...

    1jz or 2jz????

    Actually, I believe it was Stenno who noted that there is not too much sledgehammer banging on the transmission tunnel involved in fitting the 2JZ 6-speed manual tranny in the MkIII chassis. The custom parts are the driveshaft and shortening [cut/re-weld] of the shift bracket and rod going to...
