    Paying shop rent

    Pennies are cash, so the line off a bill that reads "this note is legal tender for all debts, public and private" still applies. As such, if they refuse it, you are released from the debt. Yes you can pay your taxes in them, but if you have a couple thousand in loose pennies, they'll make...

    Dyna Beads

    They've had active engine dampeners and balancers forever that are made like this. Sadly they don't work at slow speeds, and such small balls aren't going to do crap IMHO...

    I'm just not happy with my Supra so far..

    Mods in my sig (and shimmed wastegate to right under fuelcut) are enough to walk an '05 Mustang GT... Your boost is way too low to really have any fun, and running around on a stock headgasket is a ticking timebomb IMHO...

    *derail* Lilith isn't present in the bible at all, but found in other referances which the ages are unknown. As a side point, Lilith plays a major role in Neon Genesis Evangelian. *derail* Back to da funnies!

    Paying shop rent

    Unless it's stated as such in your lease (which I doubt it is), they have to take it. Tons of stories like this. Remember one where a woman had to pay $2000 in fines or some crap... she paid in unwrapped pennies :biglaugh:

    Supra monster truck

    Everytime I see that pic I think it's a fake... Doesn't look like the front wheels would turn, don't see a driveshaft, and it would rub if it hit a bump...

    Excess metal removal

    Include the intercooler and piping and the numbers change quite a bit, especially removing weight in front of the wheels... But as already mentioned, removing parts of the frame is NOT a good idea. Replacing on the other hand...

    Best oil for the 7mgte

    Someone in the oil forums was running redline and getting oil analysis. IIRC they said with the filter changes with the top off oil it appears it could go forever without a change... As jdub said, without the analysis, you won't know. That's for HIS engine and no two engines are the same...

    Best oil for the 7mgte

    Thicker oil won't stop leaks, but it will raise pressure (resistance to flow) and starve bearings. No comment on the oil filter though, until someone gets one and takes it apart to compare it's going to be speculation I think...
