Exactly. I want to dine outside near the beach in january wearing light clothing. Today I bundled up in scarf and toque and mits to go out. The car thing isn't an issue; I'd work with what I was given. If i had to comply with smog laws and buy only carb legal parts, and have working emissions...

There's no problem trying new things. Hot rodders and any custom car builder do it all the time, and you don't see the general motorist population caring what they do as long as it looks good. eric

What I meant was; for now it's just a dream without any concrete evidence. If I go and see the true California, then I will get rid of my fictional dream with the real stuff. Although you're right, if it's as good as I'm dreaming of then I'll have even more dreams of it :biglaugh:. eric

I love these opinions guys! Keep any coming. I will have to visit to get the dream out of my head and see if I could even like it there I guess. eric

Well, I sort of expected certain types of replies, as california seems either a love or a hate place. I am still enamoured by her though :P, so I may have to visit sometime before making a final decision. I guess my dream is in socal then, with the beaches and all, but if it's rediculously...

That's how I would do it too. It does sound like a cool concept. I look forwards to pics of you doing it! eric

How would the plate swing? Would it swing from the side like a door, or flip up or down? eric

I am in love with your 2 tone car! I loved 2 tone colour combos, but the blues might be my favourite :). Btw, the 5 spokes are quite nice, and once those centre caps are on it will be finished! I like the slightly more boxy 91-92 5 spoke wheels better than the mk4 wheels due to the boxyness...

Hey guys, It's been my dream to move to California once school is done in 2 yrs or so. I would try going for school (to get my masters degree), but I would appreciate some reasons why or why I should or shouldn't go there. I dream of the beach, and sunshine with hot weather, and hotter people...

Very original paint scheme there! Although, it does remind me of the panda coloured ae86 in InitialD. I want to see whole car assembled pics with the body kit on :). That engine looks quite clean too, nice work! eric

Good luck buddy! It's not that cold, you just have to get some small heater for the garage to work on the car. Excess Cargo had propane heaters that are perfect for this,; see if they still do. I look forward to more pics :). eric

I'm actually really excited to get back working on this new idea for the cluster. I think it will look so much better :). I have to wait until my next osap payment in jan to buy the parts though, but that's coming up soon! On a side note, I had all 4 wisdom teeth pulled this morning. My first...

Exactly! It's got such a large space to fill, so Toyota used it well and made nice looking gauges that filled the space! Once I have some time/money again I'll order the pcb boards I need and start transfering the glass gauge pods over. I know some people don't like it that much, but I fell in...

I have, but it wasn't good enough for me, plus it required modification of the dash suport behind the cluster. My second version will be laid out better, have the extra temp gauge, and hopefully require no mods to dash. I am trying to mirror the rhd, which is impossible, but I can get pretty...

brand new never even test-fit. The engine was in an engine stand, so what I did was jack the grand prix up a bit to clear the bottom of the back seats, I slid the engine in, and then unmounted it from the stand and lowered the car. It was riding low for sure hahaa. An extra 500lbs in the...

$2500 Can.. I sold mine, with JE pistons ans Eagle rods, new oil pump, water pump, timing belt/tensioner etc... for roughly $2800 Can. Good luck, it was hard for me to sell, and did take some time. I was lucky to find a guy close enough (6 hrs) that I drove the engine to him (in the back seat of...

The wind masters look like furnace vents :icon_razz eric

knightrider, if you're going to show how you made it, start your own thread so people know to keep mine burried until I have time to work on mine :P. Due to exams and school work, plus lack of any money, I haven't been working on mine. I need to go buy some pcb boards, so until then I can't do...

Yeah it does sound good! I'll keep them in mind for my project whenever it gets going :). I look forward to more interrest in this project from now on from you :icon_bigg. eric

I would also go with the 7.25. What kind of pricing are they giving you for the application? eric
