Well I'm a bit late to the party, but what the hey, better late than never. I'm grateful to my currently sleeping girlfriend, who has to work at 4am because of this dreaded excuse for being a bunch of consumer whores that we are (and how!) called black friday. I'm grateful for the job I have...

Heh, I remember the one year I worked at the Fry's in Tempe... black friday was interesting to say the least. That line had to be at least 2 miles long stretched throughout the store, I shit you not. That said, those are some pretty awesome deals. They're going to lose a bit of money on quite a...

That's good to hear man, I see FAR too many people sliding around in trucks/suvs with locked up wheels, wondering why they can't stop... Fortunately I live on a quieter side of town now, as far as traffic is concerned, but any time I go to my parent's house, it's an adventure. Basically have to...

Good to know man. The idea of leaning out mine kinda makes me wonder, given that it was NA, but I suppose shit happens. Changed a spark plug and never had the issue again. Hell, drove for some ~40-50 miles with a bum 5th cylinder. God that thing was rough on the way back haha...

Where I live, even Stevie Wonder would spot an aluminum genIII/IV v8 sooner than later...

I remember seeing Ray's car back in... oh, must have been 2007 or 2008 at SILV, he made just shy of 1000rwhp, so that wouldn't surprise me. IIRC, Tony of UMS (that orange and black monster) took the cake not only for 7m's, but of the entire event last year. That... Is... Awesome.

I think Canuckerz got it right on this one fellows. Looks to me to be a 1st generation Celica Liftback with a Mk3 front clip. Never would have thought that the Celica was wide enough in the rear to do this sort of cut and paste job. I am reading a rather thick book on the Celica and Supra...

Eh, I've done that replacement on a couple Supras over the years. Longest part of the job is merely taking off the rear interior bits needed to access it. If I remember correctly, most of the interior panels have to either come off or at least be loosened. Could be wrong though, it has been a...

All in the details man... I suppose if your twins were on the way out, and the other guy is having a better day or is a better driver, it could happen to all of us. As for the Probe, that V6 that's a common swap out of the MX6 wasn't a bad motor, just cramped as hell. They put out over 200hp...

Aww... cute snake, he looks cuddly!

Why bag on a guy who isn't even really on here anymore though Andy? I mean, he tarnished his own reputation here already...

Another one of these threads? Haha... oh wait, you found out how to post up your tag on the side bar there. Maybe make this a MW3 thread then? I know we started a GT5 thread along the same lines last year... :) As for mine, it's in the side bar there. Worth a laugh if you haven't seen it yet.

Might have to get a pair of those myself. Always did think they were pretty cool back in high school. That was back when big leg piped jeans were cool though...

That's what SHE said...? Too soon? :p So, from a Geo to a full size 4 door Dodge in less than a month. Man, talk about the grass being greener on the other side haha... They make decent tow rigs for what they are. Just remember that 4wd won't help stop that 5200lb mass any quicker and you'll...

Well, one thing is for sure, I'm definitely not an engineer after all that reading. What I think I got is that incipient detonation is the 'pinging' sound spoken of, and that by the time you realize its happening, it's most likely already fried something in the engine unless you shut it down by...

Just depends on who you talk to. Some of the dealerships are pretty cool to deal with, but most are not in my experience. Just a totally different culture there. These pictures are cool as shit man, I thought having an original owner's manual in the 79 Celica I had bought a few years ago was...

I'll make that $0.04... unless you only drive your car in more or less controlled conditions like the tracks. Even then, if Australia is anywhere near as dusty as where I live, I wouldn't do it. Sleepy eye thing, looks alright if done well, but like has been mentioned, doing it right is a...

Ahh... I see. Not horrible. That car at 6:48, was that Ray's? Wonder why it was smoking...

I was about to hoist the BS flag on that one, but then I looked at your location. Do you even HAVE hills and mountains in Nebraska? :p I always wondered what sort of mileage you could get if your focus was on efficiency with one of these cars...

Were those custom made by Ian? I do hear a lot about his 'chaps' around here... and he did mention buying blue pants in this very thread... :sarcasm:
