Well, one big advantage is that the dual tip mufflers don't look that big... and as a result tend to attract less attention from the local law enforcement. Depending on where you live, that might be worth considering.

I use a blue permatex sealant. Lots of folks here use something called "The right stuff", as I recall. Or, you can just pick up some of the actual sealant from Toyota.

So, how often has the union done this for you, and how long does it take them? Compare that with how much they have taken off your pay. For example, if this has happened 6 times, and it takes the union 10 minutes to deal with it each time, and you have paid them $100 during this time, then...

The installer likely stole the antenna wiring for the cell phone kit. Find where the cell phone kit plugs into the antenna wiring, and plug it back into the head unit.

Because they are a leech on the face of the economy. They take a disproportionate amount of money - from YOU - and do not give back an equal value in return. Furthermore, they advocate a system based on length of employment instead of talent or efficiency. On top of that, they add incredibly...

I don't understand this right-to-work bit. Everything I read about it seems to indicate that it doesn't force you to join a union... I haven't seen anything about chopping job security. Regardless, job security should rise from the fact that you are better at what you do than the next guy...

Truth. A system designed to give preferential treatment based on how long you've been there instead of how good you are? No wonder the US is having financial troubles. With that said, here's some advice from someone who has been there. Try for the money, but don't sweat it if you can't get...

You're better off buying someone elses finished project. It will cost more... but nowhere near what it would cost to build it yourself. And, it's not black.

This has happened before, but not before some pretty high power numbers - roughly 700 foot pounds of torque coming out of the engine when Duane's failed, as I recall. He switched to ARP hardware and was fine for a while, but switched to an auto soon after. There are a bunch of reasons why this...

I'd love to have one, but I don't think I can justify it... and my mainly scottish wallet is really grumbly about the idea. Still, you never know... Don't see why not. Love the PNW meets - lots of great cars, and, more importantly, lots of great people. Add your name to the list! Sounds like...

Personally, I'd get your stock rods checked, but I would expect them to be fine. I'd buy ARP main and rod bolts. That's not much of an expense. There is an article posted on http://www.7mpower.com by Will Neely about how to build a 7m for each power level, it's certainly worth a read.

It's raining in San Diego. All the hotties are hiding somewhere.

The nice thing about forged pistons is the extra insurance... get a bat batch of fuel and detonate a bit? Stock pistons are DONE. Forged, however, should be fine. That said, with decent tuning, stock pistons can last - DrJones ran a stock bottom end to 500 rwhp for a few years. I don't think...

For this year I'll probably stick with the Michelins I've already got. The rears are close to being done though, I might have to pick up another pair... they are stock sawblade size. Don't worry about me driving this in salt anytime soon - I'll finish out this winter in my old car while I get...

Thanks for those, Seth. I've been trying to dig up all the pics I can from this car's history, and I'm pretty sure I don't have those yet.

Wash, wax, vacuum, pictures, and in the for sale section it'll go. I'll be sorry to see her go, but that won't stop me from selling her.

OMG - did you get a good look at the wheels on the blue Mk4? The 90s called, and they don't like your ugly wheels anymore either. ;)

Other than on my thumbdrive? ;) Someone who isn't packing for a cruise tomorrow will hopefully chime in with a download location. If you don't find a copy by the 20th, send me a PM and I'll get you a copy.

Done in black and chrome? That's awesome!

Love the old school stepped lip on those. What's the emblem on the front of your car?
