    I bought another Geo Metro

    They're basically these http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Spun-Aluminum-Disc-Wheel-Covers,4637.html hubcaps but at 1/4 the cost. Both are made from a sheet of alumimum, although I will probably be painting mine black to make them blend in better. And yes it does work to improve FE, especially with...

    I bought another Geo Metro

    So I have put on over 21k miles on my Geo in the 9 months I've owned it, and have started to do some FE (fuel efficiency) mods. First up, the corplast grill block-off panel. It's cut into 2 pieces, with the drivers side that can be removed for when it gets hot. Next is my Home Depot garden...

    Supramania's Elite Engine bay Thread...ZERO progress pics.

    I think my engine bay finally meets the qualifications of this thread. I have cleaned it up a little since these photos were taken last July at the 2010 PacNW Supra Nationals by Erik Stenerud.

    Project Clean 87

    So I've just had a mental breakdown. Due to having an uncertain financial future come June since my MGIB runs out in June and my wife is currently unemployed (need to get her a drivers license first) we have decided to bring the Supra home as it stands right now and let it sit until things look...

    Project Clean 87

    I'm going to let Bill decide what I do and do not need for this project. What will be doing is beyond anything I have ever done so I will be relying on his expert knowledge to guide the process. If I do end up swapping cranks, yes I will be replacing the front and rear main seals along with...

    Project Clean 87

    Yeah, they were worse than I thought. Keep in mind that I didn't do the cutting into the crank. The crank isn't true so my whole crank is bad. I am going to use the spare bottom end I have and use everything else from the motor that's in my Supra right now, including my head. When we pull the...

    Project Clean 87

    Thanks Fred. It seems like every time I try and get my Supra back on the road something goes wrong. But I have solved every issue so far with an upgraded solution. This Supra is almost 4 years in the making and it still has a long ways to go. I just want my beast back on the road.

    Project Clean 87

    Small update, due to circumstances beyond the control of Bill and myself Bill has had to find a new shop and has been looking furiously for the last month to find one. He may have found one, but is still waiting on the inspectors report. In the mean time I have ordered a new OEM headgasket...

    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    I just got my Stoeger Couger 9000 back along with 100 rounds of hallow points (soon I'll get a box of the good stuff for PP). I'll be picking up 1 or 2 holsters for it tomorrow (1 for carrying while driving, the other for concealed carrying while walking around).

    What was the very first car you ever owned?

    Silver 2003 Chevy Cavalier 2-door 5-speed. I bought it in April 2005, soon after I got to my first duty station in the Marine Corps. It was a nice little car, but fairly gutless.

    Building a new desktop PC, what do ya'll think?

    Well I ended up not having the budget needed and my desktop computer took a shit on me. So I gave in and bought an e-machine from Walmart tonight along with a new wireless adaptor for $430. The computer itself was $378 and the wireless adapter was $50. Here's the specs (and yes, I know I need...

    Project "so I have this widebody..."

    Have you removed the panel that covers the fuse panel and the panel under the dash? You will need a long extension and a deepwell socket to get to one of the clutch pedal nuts.

    XTD Clutch scam!

    Paying a shop to do the work, ouch. Doing the clutch isn't that bad, although you will need a couple friends and 4 jack stands.

    XTD Clutch scam!

    Hate to break it to you but if you want a clutch kit that's stronger than stock you're going to have to spend about $500

    You know you're a Supra owner when...

    You've spent over $7k in the last 18 months on your Supra and you just found out you need to spend another $1000 minimum to get it back on the road and fully running the way it should be You've come to the conclusion your Supra hates you because after all the money you've spent on it there...
