    new tool!

    Clip, that's the same knife I have from Buck, but my handle is clear anodized instead of black... My other one is my old knife. Had it for about 8 years and it's been through hell, needs to go back to Buck to have the blade replaced cause the tip has been broken off a few times and resharpened.

    Wikipedia credibility?

    Need another selection of "yes, but I confirm all sources" Wikipedia is great, just pay attention to when it says that it doesn't have an sources to back up the info. If there are sources go to them. I always try and confirm any info through other sources, and I even do this with more...

    new tool!

    That's easy, use a flint or obsidian knife that has been properly made. Yes, they're far sharper than ANY modern knife, but fragile. I carry a Buck Odyssey and my new Buck Rush (it's assisted opening, very nice machining as well). Ceramic knives are extremely durable for being made of a...

    Bleach Fans. Newbie here need your help.

    now look at Cloud's sword and tell me it's possible... They do make good quality wood swords there too, but if they're a hard enough wood they're still heavy as hell...

    Finally picked up a summer car... No Supra though :(

    I have to say though, the MKIII (especially the 89+) looks very modern and isn't as dated as that car... Look at the gauges for example... Nissan also doesn't know how to make a "pretty" engine it seems...

    Whos gonna be watching Knight Rider tonight?

    shitstang... with ricer wheels... WTF!!! I didn't watch it, though I might download it and look, but from what I understand they didn't even use the right year T/A to make the old KITT (the year KITT was made from didn't have a Tuned-Port in it). 3rd gen T/A = sleek new shitstang...

    turbo bad??????

    *sigh* Exhaust leak, it will do it while cold until it's warmed up enough to seal to stop it, then under boost when the backpressure is highest. Been there, done that, TWICE.

    Charcoal Canister/ Engine Bay cleanup...

    It's not just excess tank pressure. It can also be vacuum. Great example is the F-body that lost on Pinks. Car Craft got ahold of it anc acouldn't figure out why it was so damn slow for it's mods when everything checked out right. They took the gas cap off and dropped their 1/4 by 2...

    The Hot Rod Power Tour, Supra Powered Maverick

    Doward's concept scetch is great, the body mods are near perfect, and I'd like to see the rear tire tucked a bit like that to get the car off it's nose. Not the color, but the rest is great. Big brakes that can be seen through the wheels, That spoiler or maybe do something fun...see how a...

    Dok's E85 powered 2jzge-T build

    Josh: I have a pet peeve... When someone does an engine swap and doesn't clean the engine up before dropping it in it bothers me a lot. Typically LDM engines sit outside and gets some nice barnicles on the aluminum bits, but nobody seems to care and drops it in anyway... Clean it up...

    V mounting?

    the temp V mounting is simply the tilting of the IC and/or radiator to get better airflow to em... We have this STOCK (the IC is NOT perpendicular to the ground). Corvettes, F-bodies, ect have their radiators tilted as well to get the airflow over the radiator. V-mounting in the manner...

    Why does everyone underestimate the MKIII?

    Why do you paint a car? TO PROTECT IT Paint is protecting your investment from being eaten by rust. Cosmetic value comes second to that first reasoning to why they where ever painted at all. Same reason a train is painted. It's just an added bonus that properly cut and buffed paint...

    targa top fastener alternatives

    A minute to bolt it back down? Or a minute to get out, pull it out of the hatch, put it on, and bolt it down? If it's just to bolt it on you're slow LOL

    Heat issue after coolant drain and fill

    I had to full throttle it and get it in the upper RPM's to blast the air pocket out on mine... Take a good, hard spin around the block, come home, let it cool down, and pop the cap and check the level...

    what do you guys think of this?

    The disinformation in this thread is staggering... Rotrex is THE new thing in the boosting world and are EXTREMELY efficent, almost to the level of a turbo. They have been around for years, and just now getting on the US market bigtime. I'd run them before I'd run any other supercharger...

    strut tower question

    The MAIN reason they don't fit is the clearance over the engine. FFIM solves that and it clears, same reason they don't work on the N/A MKIV's...
