    Buying Engines on Ebay...

    What light is it?

    Ok, will be honest here. I stuck with the stock head bolts. I got an Autozone HG, and torqued to 72. The only reason why I didn't upgrade is because the engine is pretty much much shot on the bottom end and I am currently assembling a 1jz for it. Also I leave in a few weeks for 4 months on a...

    funny yet dumb question

    So I read the report. Fully. Don't think for minute I haven't thought about the "potential" safety hazards and risk factors that are and will be associated with an RHD. Now, I bet, that if they were to conduct a similar study on cars that were fixed up in a manner that most people do, they...
