Insurance costs vary so much from state to state, and city to city. Even the ZIP code you live in influences your rates. (High crime area v/s low one and factors like that.) Your credit score, income, age, marital status, residence v/s rental and so many other factors not to mention driving...

Heck, I've welded for years, and just tacked it in 4 places, then welded it up in 3 longer passes right over the tack welds. (Should be the recipie for disaster warp wise, but remember your welding this to a pipe, and you really don't warp the pipe much... the flange can warp, but a few moments...

I have one of the first full kits from PB, and it took FOREVER to get it. Then because of engine failures, I did not use them for about a year, and when I did finally get the car running, and tried out the new brakes, guess what? The rotors were not true. (Zinc coating on the rotors is all that...

I've seen a few cars put together from parts of others. That mixes up the VIN numbers pretty well. Any signs of non factory welds, or seam sealer anywhere under the hood? Could be they did a simple front clip, or used some parts off another car, and if the job was done right, your fine. (Does...

Wow, so some dumbass in politics passed laws allowing the busses to just ignore traffic and pull out into anything out there? I'm speachless. (And that's saying alot.) Well, not totally speachless, If some bus pulled out into me, I'd sue. Make it go to court, then let a jury decide if...

I've read that Ford Taurus two speed fans are very good for the Supra. (MK4 guy swears by his setup.) That being said, everyone who runs the car hard, and runs full AC in traffic with E fans has had problems from what I've read. (Check it out on the MK4 guys.) The stock fan setup with a good...

So, Supra hit the bus, or did the bus pull from the stop into the Supra? LOL Have fun adjusting that one. I would not want to be either driver as both of them are negligent IMNSHO. The Supra should not have been passing, but he was clearly up beside the bus. The Bus should have looked to...

This is totally ghetto, but adding molydisulfied to the oil in your diff will cause the clutches to grab better. (Sounds wrong, but I think the moly particles build up between the plates, so the clearances change, and the clutches then engage better.) Ran the moly additive in my MK2 for years...

I think the military is a great springboard into many jobs when you have had enough of the service. I think ATI is a good school. (At least everything I've heard is positive, but you really get out what you put in as you have stated.) BTW< thanks for the service, and protecting our freedom...

Well, people see this silly ass JDM drift video stuff where guys are standing by the front tires/fenders, and just letting the car "drift" around them... Just as stupid, but at least there is someone else driving the car.. In this dude's case, his short take on life might have been truely cut...

Looks like I'm the first to say I'm an insurance adjuster... (Actually, I mostly just train them now, but I still handle the odd difficult claim from time to time.) Nothing like being handed a steaming pile of an insurance claim, and resolving the bugger in 20 min. or less. (Really P.O's the...

500 to 1000 extra rpm before it cuts would be nice sometimes for sure. (Even on stock cams.) My power peaks just before 6k on this current setup, but with a bigger turbo, and the higher flow, I'm expecting to pull to redline again. (With the stroker setup, my dyno's look like an upgraded CT...

Interesting V8. Very high rpm, amazing actually. (Think of all the moving parts, and the stresses they have to endure to just hit this 20k mark.) The stroke on this motor must be very short indeed. (I think eventually, they will need fewer rings so they can shorten the stroke even more.)...

Tony's orange car ran a 10 something, I managed to lose with a faster trap and lower ET, but I was not ready for the "pro tree" and lost it at the light. (About 1.4 seconds at the line... LOL) BTW, ran a 14 something at 106mph. (Pretty normal for my car, but later I ran it over the scales, and...

I ran my car with the stock FPR removed, and the Areomotive one on there for quite a while. (No problems.) Then upgraded to a Walbro fuel pump, bypassed the resistor so the fuel pump has full voltage all the time. (Made it loud at idle.) The final mod was to change out the FPD (On the back...

Just one more reason to enjoy my 88 spoiler. :) Always the best looking setup, was the original one. (IMNSHO.) I agree on the photos though, the gap is not excessive, and I think once it was mounted to your spoiler, it would have just allowed room for the hatch to move around w/o hitting...

That is not the yoke used on my CF driveline. I don't think I have anywhere near that much space/gap sticking out of the tailhousing. If it's not leaking, and has not broken, I would not worry about it. (As long as the yoke is in past the bushing in the tailshaft, you should be fine.)

I remember seeing a set of the springs/struts used on those cars. (Longer of course for excellent wheel travel.) Don't know if they had to modify the suspension arms, but I'd imagine the stock stuff would not allow for proper camber angles at that lifted height. There was a "Ruby's" car...

It was fun for sure. :) Keep it under 150 on the way home everyone.... LOL See you all next year.

I totally agree, and that is one of the reasons I liked living in areas where "cats" were not mandated by law. (Now I live in the only county in Idaho that does check for them....? WTF was I thinking.) Now every year I have to bolt on the stock DP and cats, pass the idiot test, and then take...
