I'm not on here as much as I used to be, but it's good to see people still playing with the NA setups. Do us all a favor and get a good microphone for when it's running well? :D

Congrats Tyler! Slap some skinnies up front and do what needs to be done... we all know she's a 9 second car. ;)

Heh, couldn't have said it better myself Grant. Thanks for sharing the story man, I had a 1980 Corolla that I was rather fond of, even if it was a bit of a clunker. :p I have to say I agree. As far as a mix of luxury and sport, the Mk3 is probably the best overall that I've ever been in. I've...

No kidding... I'm up here in Rock Springs (WY), might have to meet up one of these days man. Not the best of times for road tripping due to the weather at the moment, but this summer I'd love to head down to Moab and through Douglas pass again... As for me on the original subject, I loved...

Gotta love picking up other people's projects man... keep us posted. :) Intentions with the car?

Bwahaha, of all the things to get the attention... You know JJ, I hear they're talking about limiting how many staples I can load in my Arrow to FIFTY. Those rotten... On a related note, I was helping put together a parade float back in high school, and like high school kids with a high powered...

Bit of a fun back story on this sample, but first the numbers: Cu - 9 Fe - 11 Cr - 1 Al - 4 Pb - 22 Sn - 0 Si - 7 Na - 3 K - 1 Mo - 6 Ni - 1 Ag - 0 Ti - 0 Ca - 2090 Mg - 12 Zn - 1033 P - 772 Oil Condition / Particle Count (ct/ml) Water - Negative Antifreeze - Negative V100 - 9.1 This was...

I can certainly appreciate a thread like this. There seem to be two camps of Mk3 owners/fans: -Those who would beat them up and tear them to pieces, then pass them on to the next guy, who tends to be... -Those who would fix them up, restore them, modify them in their own way, etc... I tend to...

That answers things completely man. For all the brilliance when it comes to automotive engineering located in that country, they sure do some strange crap when it comes to their production cars...

Hey, it works for Hefner, and IJ here has that swagger wagon still, right buddy? :naughty:

If wikipedia is to be believed, there was a bit of an increase in torque, at least on the 1j: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_JZ_engine However, the real appeal of vvti isn't in the AMOUNT of torque, but rather in the DELIVERY of it. Sure, a couple thousand rpm doesn't sound important on...

What other part would they have faked? "Houston, turns out we actually landed on Mars, stupid navigator." "It's ok Neil, we can fix that part in post production, just make sure you get footage of the lunar rover doing its thing." :nono:

One of these days, we'll finish up my 48 Chevy, but that won't be until after the Supra is done. Then I'd have to find another daily, since the current daily is the Chevy's donor... Either way, really looking forward to next year, car-wise. :D

Well, considering it had never gotten any worse in the 3 years it was daily driven, weekly abused, I'm not convinced at all that mine was a symptom of any sort of rod knock. Not to mention the oil VOAs never came back with signs of bearing material in it... Either way, engine is being...

Lifelong friend of mine keeps trying to convince the lot of us to fly out and visit sometime. It's harder as an adult, to coordinate such trips with friends, with all the things that constitute a modern life, but I'd really like to make it out there sometime. It might just be the missus and I...

He's not kidding guys, I just got out of the hospital from his last "steering" attempt. :rofl:

Just finished Skousen's "The Five Thousand Year Leap". Written in 1981, is as truthful and insightful now as it would have been when it was first published. Probably more so, if I'm honest. If you've ever wondered what inspired the US constitution and the founding fathers in writing it, it's a...

Jeff, just dropping in to say hello. If I ever found myself in a position where I didn't need to work, and didn't need money (such as a lottery winning situation), I'd be doing exactly this sort of thing. Restoring and tastefully modifying random cars. Sell them off if I don't find myself...

Boy, that just sounds like a barrel of laughs there man... I presume that was for chassis stiffness reasons? Or were these still body-on-frame, and just attached in the most pain in the butt way possible?
