    For those of you who have torn the block apart: question

    When they did my oil driveshaft bearings the pump wouldn't spin freely at all! So I had them polish the pump until it spun freely ahahaa. Took 3 trips back and forth to the shop :icon_razz eric

    Stretch's Digidash thread

    The real limiting factor for others to have one from me personally is the place Ifound that does moulding. IF they can make copies of atleast my harder to make parts then I could make more clusters. If I end up having to make each one by hand the labour would jump the price several hundred more...

    Should I spend all my money?

    Well just to lay down the ground level for you guys, sorry I didn't earlier I expected everyone to know me. I have no car, just an engine right now, so no car-related expenses to worry about. All i would worry about is not having any money to do anything, and possibly going into college with...

    Should I spend all my money?

    Ahaha you are all stereotypical car enthusiasts! I was hopeing I'd get some mixed feelings like those more financially motivated to have money for random occurances than blow it all on some turbos that'll sit on my engine for a long time. eric

    Should I spend all my money?

    I know it's all my decision in the end, but I'd just be curious as to what you guys would do. I want to buy the HKS twin turbo kit on ebay right now, and it'll cost me about $1075 shipped. If I bought this tho I would be using all of my spending money I have saved up thus far, meaning I would...

    Stretch's Digidash thread

    I bought mine from a member who had a spare. Guys usually get one with their 1JZ halfcut and they keep it cuz it's friggin wicked. ***BTW*** On a more related note, I have found a place that does moulding like vaccuum and injection moulding, so it might be possible after all for me to...

    performance suggestions

    Suprastore is not bad in my eyes. I ordered an hks super dragger back in the day from them, shipped promptly and arrived in about 3 days to me in Ottawa Canada. Shipping was fair, all prices were fair. Infact hpf is the one screwing me on shipping most of all anyway. Shop where your parts are...

    Stretch's Digidash thread

    I haven't taken a close look yet, although I doubt there is an actual swtich to turn between miles/km, I bet there is a way to do it. Since I'm located in Canada we use km anyway, so it's no sweat off my back :icon_razz but I might try figuring it out anyway for you yanks ahahaa. eric

    Rarity?

    Nah man, teal cars GET chicks. Trust me, the colour is gorgeous when it's not flaking and being all 14 yrs old and stuff :icon_razz eric BTW targa is my fav. Nothing like it. It's not a full convert, and that's why it's even cooler.
