I used a 120 for a long time does every thing you would wana doGrimJack;1918269 said:
I used to weld sc 40 pipe with great results in my wheeler useing gas in stead of flux
it all depends on the wall socket if it is a weak plug welding will suck
only down fall to a 120 is you can not weld as long as ya could with a 220
if i was you i would just buy a good120
Hell I might even sell my old 120 if you are interested in it still works good I just ponied up a for a 220 cause I weld really thick stuff here and there
the welder is a mig pack 120 from Lincoln
I don't like the idea of settling for something less than what I might end up using. Might as well go and save myself the cost of buying in too low and having to fork out again for upgrades later.
Well it's up to you
220 weld thick stuff like over 1/2 inc plate 5/8
120 will go to 1/2 inc
I hardly max my welder out and weld all sorts of stuff
I still have my 120 2 of them lol for not at home job's when I go places to weld stuff since it is so portable
but if you plan to start welding aulim then a 220 is a must same a spool gun then have 2 tanks going one co2 argon mix then the other bottle straight argon
a 120 will work thou but really only for tacking

I agree with Nashman, if you plan on welding any aluminum you'll want the 220, which sounds like what you might be thinking anyway. Good luck with what ever you decide.
New Recaros installed, bracket fabbing courtesy of Tommy at The Independant Speed Shop.
Pardon the usual terrible pictures... I really need to learn something about photography one of these days.
Passenger side:
The nice shiny new style sliders. Much better than those really annoying levers you have to turn.
Rear mount... note the bend to keep the seat at a comfortable angle.
Front mount. Note the trick bend.

I want some new seats for my ride soon... the stockers are just so damn uncomfortable. How are the Recaros for comfy-ness?
Not like I'm Ansel Adams, but for pics turn off flash, grab a tripod (even the tiny gorilla ones) and do some longer exposures.
Flash makes most pics look much worse.

Best seats I've ever tried. Aftermarket Recaros are awesome. Don't try to compare them to the OEM Supra Recaros, those aren't nearly as nice. If you come to one of the shows you're welcome to sit in 'em.Enraged;1922583 said:
Did some more work on the car today... replaced a bunch of old, ugly bolts in the engine bay with these guys, and put in new hood stops. Also spent some time re-aligning the popup headlight assembly and the hood latch.
Shiny bits.
SS bolts with machined aluminum washers.
New rubber hood stops from Mark at Vancouver Toyota... this is 1 of 4. Notice the trick fusebox from Tommy at Independent Speed below.

This car keeps me up at night, fappin' away...
Ungodly attention to detail, I get tired just watching you progress! Better build a strong shelf for trophies to go

Recaro Speed, and no, you have to buy separate sliders and then either fab or purchase brackets as well. I had mine fabbed by a local wizard... err, I mean, shop employee.lithium14;1923534 said:

damn I'm looking at getting those seats, but at $700 a pop I'll probably only get one :-\ looking good though

It looks like this model is going away, so if you ever want to have matching seats, buying two is a good idea. $1400 now is far better than $700 now, plus $1800 x 2 later down the road for a current model.
