    what if...

    Yup. More fuel is only half the equation. You need more Oxygen, or air, to balance that.

    Carbon fiber feeler

    Do you only do fiberglass / carbon work? Or can you do shaped plexi / lexan stuff as well?

    Break out the custom race dashboards

    Oh, I realize that Ferrari spent a lot of money on their dash design, and so did Toyota. However, it's *not* rocket science. Actually, quite the opposite - more work goes into the menu system on modern video games than the dash animation for the LFA. I could write the code to display a nice...

    Tuner makes cops look like keystone cops....wreaks car.

    You might be surprised the things that people will do while under the effects of drugs or alcohol... or both. However, I'm more than a bit suspicious about this because what reason was there to have a video camera running in the first place?

    Insurance adjuster to see my Supra, tips?

    Also, ask the shop you take it to about paying them some extra and respraying the whole car. It'll be WAY cheaper to do it at the same time than if you went in out of the blue, you'll get a better paint job, and no worries about blending or panels that don't quite match.

    Do I need it?

    Well done... I've noticed that every car guy from your area of the world seems to be on the *really* nice end of things. I remember years ago, reading one thread from a fellow who decided his 3" exhaust wasn't big enough, and oval pipe was too expensive, so he cut his 3" in half lengthwise...

    Leatherseats dot com installation problem.

    I made my own instead of paying leatherseats for theirs, and this was what I had to do. A fair bit of the hardware I reused from the old seats. It was a pain getting the old ones sewn onto the new upholstery, too - my machine wouldn't go through the plastic, so I had to hand sew it through the...

    Break out the custom race dashboards

    I'm still astounded that nobody has put together a good looking digital dash. There are some fantastic offerings in modern cars - the new Ferrari, the LFA, and so on - why hasn't anyone made something similar that you can retrofit into an older car? There's been some incredible one-offs put...

    Bad weather pics...

    I have a garage, the 2J car is in it. Ya, it's no more dangerous than rain when there's no salt in the equation, and there's certainly no salt on my driveway.

    Bad weather pics...

    Just stepped outside with the tripod to take a few shots of the poor car. It's been back and forth between snow and freezing rain here all day.

    Ignition key comes out at any position

    It's relatively common. Two factors cause this - key / lock cylinder wear, and the actual key design. It can be fixed, but only by swapping in a different / new lock cylinder, and using an appropriately new key.

    Glass ... seen too many Mk4 lights that look like shit from the haze. Glass lasts forever.

    Triple plate clutch sounds horrid!! :(

    The first time I installed a multiplate clutch, we fired it up and I thought FOR SURE we'd done something wrong. However, the ugly noise was just the usual multiplate nonsense. Since then I've heard quite a few, and they're all noisy bitches.

    Sounds like the typical noisy multiplate clutch to me.
