    ALERT - New CC scam going around, details inside.

    Note, the callers do not ask for your card number; they already have it. This information is worth reading. By understanding how the VISA& MasterCard Telephone Credit Card Scam works, you'll be better prepared. The scam works like this: Person calling says, "This is(name), and I'm calling from...

    Need help getting front TURN SIGNALS off.......

    Mine have screws. I suspect that they start to fall apart eventually, and most people have replaced the snaps with screws.

    For Sale!!! Ebay.

    This car has been for sale for YEARS it seems. You'd think that one day he'd wake up and realize that he might as well keep it, nobody is willing to pay as much as he wants. Unless of course one of the hardcore purists here wins the lottery, in which case they are likely to buy it and drive it...

    Are you still running the stock stereo? If you have an aftermarket radio installed, chances are the glass antenna is just disconnected...

    I used carb cleaner for the first cleaning and acetone for the final level of clean on my build.

    *most idiotic non functional thing you've seen*

    100 kilograms or fibreglass shaped like a HUGE triple wing rear spoiler... mounted on the back of a front wheel drive Acura. Extra wind resistance and weight, plus the gas struts can't hold up the hatch anymore... at high speeds, it will actually pull weight OFF the front drive wheels.

    How often are you underestimated?

    Not since I added the wheels... when I was still running on sawblades, everyone and their uncle wanted to race me. Now everyone just rolls by slowly, even the fast cars. 'Tis all good, I rarely speed on public roads anyhow - unless I'm out with the local crew, in which case speeding just lets...

    Post a pic of yourself - in light of IJ's Community thread.

    Actually, I'm more interested in the process. This is the one that I made for use in the lumiblue theme - but I think I might like yours better:

    Power Antenna Broke

    Not from me. It's not hard to find at all - it looks exactly like a regular plug, only it's about half the size.

    Well..... I need a quick answer from you guys again

    I've always had the upper plenum off, but I'm not sure if it's actually *required*...

    Cuffs, stalker, whatever. All I want to know is how you made the blue negative Mk2 picture 'cause it matches my theme for SM. :D

    oil pump driveshaft

    You can put it in after - you just have to be careful of the crank position, as it can hit a rod if it's in the wrong spot in the rotation. I was thinking this could be causing his problems with inserting it, a rod in the way.

    Power Antenna Broke

    The stock radio unit just plugs both in, and ignores the weaker signal. If you look where your radio mounts, you will see two wires for the antenna - one is the regular size and will plug straight into just about any aftermarket radio. This one is wired to the motorized mast antenna. The...

    Any Hawaii members?

    I'll be over there this Friday for two weeks. Wondering if there is anyone to visit with my Supra craving while I'm off the mainland. :)

    Mk V... Im not too sure

    Unless you have evidence one way or another, even a japanese magazine article still makes all this just supposition.

    Mk V... Im not too sure

    Of course, the killer question remains... how can they possibly shave 800lbs, add 150 hp, and still cut the price by half if it's based off the SC?

    hot chick thread game - 56k nap time!

    Some people (who should know better) weren't playing by the posted rules. Their posts have been relegated to oblivion. And just to make sure *I* don't get in trouble for keeping things on track...

    Mk V... Im not too sure

    No idea. Can you push 440 bhp out of a 5 litre v8 without some kind of forced induction? Beyond my personal knowlege base, that's for sure...
