    Well, I finally did it

    Sorry, forgot to mention that I do have a boost controller (older Greddy PRofec B) and 3" exhaust. Air box is not stock but I do not know exactly what it is. With regards to codes, the CE light isn't on and doesn't come on. Would it still be throwing codes at me? I agree with fixing before...

    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    Friend of mine has one, I've done some shooting with it. The magazine capacity is intoxicating, and you can do a lot with them modification wise. If the price is right you, I'd say do it. Very reliable (Obviously, as its a shotgun. Not a whole lot to go wrong). Only problem I have with them...

    Well, I finally did it

    I don't know how long this post is going to be, please bear with me. It has finally happened. My beloved Supra's unerring reliability has gotten its first black spot. I was driving back to school from the rifle range a few weeks ago where I had been with some friends. Dropped two of them...

    how many tickets does it take?

    2, none counted. First one was for 71 in a 55 (BS, I was in my '94 explorer going up a hill- had just finished 3 final exams in one day and I was leaving for a month of Navy stuff the day after). I had known the judge since I was born, and it was still 2 $100 parking tickets... Second was for...

    First autocross

    So I just did my first autocross yesterday... Damn, it was fun. Made me realize how much I really need to replace my rear shocks though. Overall, I was fairly mediocre, definitely let the car down. First run: 77s, clean Second run: 71s, 1 cone Third run: 71s, clean Here is a video...

    I know its going to need a little bit of rust fixing, but overall, for a 240 here in the middle of the NE rust belt, it's pretty good for its age and having sat outside for 8 years. I'll definitely get some pictures going. Looking to have it all done by next spring, then Dad can start his...

    Cheap G-Meter CHECK THIS OUT

    I put dynolicious on my iPhone yesterday. Sure, its not spot on accurate, but it can do ballparking. Said I was putting down 220rwhp, which probably isn't that far off, but it did say a 17s quarter mile, which is damn slow. I'm not very good at launching though, so I was just playing around...

    The Z is on the backburner for now, or at least its up to my dad. I left for school and haven't been home as much as I usually am. Picking up some new doors for it this weekend I belive, then its down to brake work and a little rear suspension work and she should be ready for a strip down and...

    Publix parking lot...

    Testarossa/512TR... I guess, to be fair, the 355 is a mini-TR. But yes, those two have always been my favorite Ferraris.

    Targa people, would you be interested in...

    Depends on the price and how it looks with the car. I like the idea though. Nicely fabricated to boot.

    How often do you wax your vehicles?

    I do have leather seats, but on the rest of the carpeting I use the Turtlewax Oxy carpet cleaner. It's probably not the best (haven't tried anything else) but it works, and does get the smells out. For all of the non-carpet interior stuff (dash, instrument panel, leather, everything) i use the...

    How often do you wax your vehicles?

    If the weather's good, I'll do a wash and wax every weekend (I get bored easily) with a full exterior and interior clean (Vacuuming, upholstery cleaning, and that Liquid Ice interior wax) every other week. But it hasn't happened this summer with all the rain we've been having in WNY, it just...

    somebody please shoot this supra owner

    I'm normally pretty critical of shit like that, but it does look well done. Far better than some of the other travesties that have occurred. The integra bit turns me off though.

    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    I went up to Albany this weekend with some NROTC friends of mine for some range time. This is what we had between the three of us (well, 2 of us, the other dude doesn't own any) Bottom 3 (Mossberg, CETME, and his new 10/22) are not mine, the rest are.

    The official MGS4: Guns of the patriots thread.

    I too just finished MGS4. This being my first Playstation system (Nintendo thru the 64, then both Xboxes), this was the first MG game I've played. I think I would have liked it far better if I had played the other three. And I will, someday. But, even as a first jump into the series- My...

    94 Honda Civic Hatch for sale. X-TREME BODY KIT OMGROFLWTFBBQ!!!!

    Personally, matte paint makes a car look both awful and cheap. Also kinda looks like the illegitimate love-child of an Integra and a Renault Clio. Neither of which I particularly fancy. Furthermore, it makes useless power at a useless RPM. Maybe I'm jaded.

    Why I should not look on craigslist ever.

    No updates yet, sorry for the disappointment. We're still waiting on carbs, and I haven't been home to help dad with it much. I think the brakes are going to be looked at this weekend.

    Finally lost my engine undercover...

    brake strakes sound pretty attractive. I like it. Properly designed, I don't see them taking up too much more room, if I have the same idea in my head that you all do. Champion is taking forever to ship my undercover. Ordered 5 days ago, and it's still "Processing."
