Now you surely understand the saying, "I've forgotten more than most have learned?" I know I'm not there yet, but I do find myself occasionally scratching my head at things I know I should know...

Watched this a few weeks ago with my girlfriend. Funny thing is, the idea itself isn't all that new if I'm understanding it correctly. Preston Tucker attempted a similar system with his ultimately doomed venture into the automotive industry... and that was nearly 70 years ago.

So, anyone know yet how many episodes are going to be in this season? The wiki article on it only has air dates for the first 10 episodes. Would be good to know when it's over so I can start watching it again haha...

This is what keeps me off of a bike. If I'm ever so fortunate to live somewhere that a quick trailer trip to the track is a possibility, I'll likely own a sport bike of some sort. I just refuse to share the road with idiots in cars. At least on a track, you're only sharing the road with idiots...

Count me in come 2014. Or rather, my old lady. I dunno that a Mk4 would provide enough of a different driving experience compared to the 87 that is in the works for me to justify spending NSX money on one. But there will likely be one in the garage come next year. Got some pics of yours? There...

Why do zombies make terrible parents? ...because they tend to be dead beats. :biglaugh:

Guys, to clarify my intention and driving styles, here are the two reasons I could see myself boosting in 5th: -Running at a track where reaching speeds in excess of 165 are entirely possible (looking at Bonneville salt flats mostly, unless by some miracle I end up driving my car in Lemans :p )...

Florida has always been like that for as long as I can remember. If you didn't have at least a 10 second car you were gonna see a lot of tail lights, and this is going back at least 12 years in my memory now... As for that car, pretty nice looking, appears to be rather well put together...

Interesting thread guys. I've never had a Supra that didn't have a leaky steering system, but I suspect that's due to a lack of maintenance by my part (or any other previous owner), so I never gave it much thought. Might be worth noting, I've used PS fluid in my system, and likely on my other...

There has been talk that if my bottom end takes a crap, we might be porting the head even more, getting even more aggressive cams (and related valve springs/retainers/custom valves/etc), rods, pistons, the whole lot. Then we're going to say goodbye to any power below 3k, BUT... make up for it on...

You deserve a cookie sir. Had a bit of a laugh at the thread myself. No offense to the OP, but pretty much any gauge I can think of on a car can only be at one position at a time. Your gas needle is either empty, full, or somewhere in between, but not all at the same time. ;)

If I'm not mistaken, the AC fans only come on when things get REALLY hot, correct? Thinking about it more, that really shouldn't have any bearing on the situation. Possibly to prevent too much current draw? Or perhaps a similar reason such as how your fogs turn off if you turn on the high beams...

Did you happen to forget the subframes? :p

High five to the OP for posting test results before asking aimless questions! :D OP, have you had a chance to take a look at things? Always good to have resolution on things like this...

Hitch mount would be the only way to go for our cars. Lemme see if I can dig up a pic I think I have... Well crap. Can't seem to find it, but it was a picture of a MkIV with a bike rack on the back, complete with bike. WAIT! Found it on my phone:

For the people who drive in the real world, which contains bumps, dips, and curbs. They wanted their customers to have a car that lasted, and endured this real world. ;) Try daily driving a slammed car where I live, and it won't survive long. Also guys, let's keep the selling of parts...

I'd shop with a different company myself. ;) Just curious, did anyone have anything backing that up? The function of a clutch doesn't change due to the number of discs... I can see perhaps that they're shocking a system only rated for xxx TQ levels, and maybe they had bad experiences with the...

The oil level thing is ready to be hooked up on the JZ engines, just need to wire it to a light. Wouldn't want to find out at what point of "low" that light comes on myself, but hey, it's something. Also, the link to the Intellistick, all the links on their end seem to bring up 404's for some...

Was just going to point this out to the OP, Jonathan has been great to work with over the past 5 months or so. :) As for the Stance coils themselves, I had Megans before, and while they were good for what I needed, I was persuaded to buy some Stances for my car. I'm a believer now, that's for...

My traditional rule of thumb when a car has sat for a long while: "If it's made of rubber or liquid, replace it." Hasn't failed me yet. Good luck! :)
