Ugh... I remember when driving to AZ, I discovered that the hose into the engine bay from the driver side hasn't been pushed on far enough. Car slowly leaked hot coolant into the cabin drip by awful drip. This was in late April, where temps are already getting into the 90's in that part of the...

I may have missed it, but is the truck a necessity for work? If not, I would suggest getting an economy car of some sort for the daily driver. 20mpg is optimistic for most trucks, depending on your driving habits/environment. However, if a truck is required, I would HIGHLY recommend an early...

It's Monaco. Pretty much any car crash ends up around a million or two...

Haha, well said man. It doesn't always end well even on a healthy budget. :p Dude, you have a Supra. Your budget will ALWAYS be tight. Seriously, crack might be cheaper in the long run. :rofl:

Same here man. If I had a job I truly loved doing (my job isn't bad, but it's not a hobby either), I'd probably put in 60ish a week.

Your fiance drives a 350z huh? High five to you sir, that's awesome. Have you tried the Merc wheels on your car? They might not look too bad if they're a decent size and the lug pattern fits... not sure about the lug patter thing though.

Ouch man... 20mm intake restriction? Might as well use a coffee stirring straw. :nono: 160-170 compression seems low for a motorcycle to me, shouldn't they be somewhere in the 11:1 area?

Why would this get locked, as long as it was posted in "other cars" initially? Anyway, to the OP, 14.9 @ 92mph? Time for your son to get some gears and get that thing moving. ;)

Corey, 13psi on a turbo that size is likely a good deal more air than 13psi of the stock turbos. If you're still running the 370cc's, I would think that you might be running out of fuel, or at least pushing the safe limit. Are you still on the stock MAP sensor and ECU?

Doh! Sorry so late to the party Chris... your 92 should have 6.5" speakers in the doors, 3" (IIRC) on the rear passenger shoulder area, and 5.25" in the rear location under the 1/4 windows. A bit of work, and you can get some pretty nice speaker setups squeezed into stock locations. My advice...

I have to ask, why so much on the shipping Noel? The panel shouldn't exceed 5 lbs... I understand the size is a bit large when you package it securely, but that seems somewhat high to me.

Sunroof on my Mk2 does that. It's neat and all, but I prefer the more common Mk3 Sunroof that angles up, like the FC3S sunroof. IIRC, the early model sunroof cars were an ASC conversion. Someone correct me if I'm mistaken. Sounds like a sweet car, I was unaware that 6L9 was ever offered on...

What are you using to move your belongings with? I towed my Mk3 down to AZ from WY once, with a mid-size (14'?) box truck, on a flat trailer. Worked great, truck averaged about 15-16mpg overall. Probably not a good daily, but if you're going to use a box truck to haul your belongings, is...

People do that? Talk about being on the internet before you were born...

I don't normally do that, but eventually something is going to have to go out in the street unless I get a shop, or move into a house with a bigger garage. Option #2 is more likely, I love the house, love the location, but can't fucking stand the neighbors. If land wasn't obscenely expensive...

Haha, hmm... oval shaped cylinders don't give very good compression when fitted with round cylinders. :p

True enough... I dunno, that never really bothered me. Once you go front mount, it's really just for show anyway, unless you re-route the ducting to do something else, or plug it.

Good advice, what's written above here... You know, I would argue that sometimes you get lucky. When I bought my old 79 Celica that I had, it was 30 years old. Wasn't much of a highway car since it had the 3 speed auto, but never had a problem with the car around town. Was a perfect town car. A...

That's impressive guys, especially considering they have to flip it upside down before they ship it...

Man, your local dealer must be a lot cooler than ours...
