    Clear tails

    remember that they make the ENTIRE unit, it's not just a retrofit... one of the reasons I don't see the taillights they have as being a ripoff...

    How is carbon fiber cured?

    soaking the fabric in the resin and then gettign rid of the excess helps too... the cloth is starting to pick up in production again, but there are MANY different qualities... Duane only used the best from the stuff I've seen of his...

    What's your next computer upgrade?

    a Tb HDD was under $500 a couple months ago when I looked... only issue with having one drive is it's not very redundant...

    car loans

    Car Max has Drive Financial that gets you into a car cheaply even without a co-signer... We're trying to build our credit before we get married. That and once she gets good car credit we can go get something worthwhile (WRX, Mazdaspeed 3, SRT-4, ect...)

    What's your next computer upgrade?

    not worth buying all of the SOTA hardware... in six months it will be half the price, why bother when the second level down that WAS the SOTA 6 montsh ago is only marginally slower... I'm running on a bit of an old setup, but like a car, it's got good tuning ;) AMD Duron 1.4gig OCed to...

    I may just have to get some turbos for my 300zx LOL

    AWD SHOULD give the skyline an advantage over the ZO6.. but I doubt it weight wise, torque wise, damn near everything wise... skyline took too long to develop, so they're already behind the curve. Chevy has a supercahged LS7 now that they could oh-so-easily drop into the ZO6 and waste the...

    Buffing out Headlights

    car loans

    not always possible... fiance got into an accident (not her fault), and the insurance company is trying to deny her claim... we couldn't wait on a check, she needed a car NOW that was reliable to get to work. Loan is the only way to go. Buying a new car and paying the high APR for...

    I may just have to get some turbos for my 300zx LOL

    a V configuration is FAR weaker than any inline configuration, it's fact... Modern cars usually do NOT have the overhead to up the boost and get tons more power like the older cars do. I'm not talking about just the engine either, the drivetrain could be the same. Come on, we don't...

    what gas do i use??

    best you can get and have it TUNED for that... then throw in race gas and up the boost on the dyno and see what it will really do if you're adventurous...

    Quick questions about the headlights.

    it's extremely easy to pull once you figure it out, if I ever need one again I can pick up a couple from a junkyard... IIRC the celicas used something very close if not exactly the same part number... I couldn't find anything fried in mine, but swapping it with another fixed the issue...

    I may just have to get some turbos for my 300zx LOL

    no Just like the ZO6, they don't build in much over engineering... Any more boost and it will probably blow... Newer tech is overrated...
