    New 2010 GT500! I want one

    Your opinion is invalid until you paint your damn car. Someone who sees real mustang in a piece of crap retro-nostalgia b.s. is also someone who rocks 16 inch wheels purchased at Pep Boys with multichromatic primer. The new mustang is simply an evolution of more of the same. A car to...

    How good do you think this is? (video)

    Most BPU Mk4's run a lot harder than that, I'd give you mid 300's at best.

    1J major issues

    Keep in mind that you can't actually adjust timing on JZ motors. A timing light is a nice aid for diagnosis, but that's it. Let's be logical about what you changed: You swapped injectors. Are all of your connections solid? Try unplugging the injectors one at a time to see if the engine...

    Engine Bay before and after: Powdercoating FTW!

    I haven't had good results with any single stage chrome powders, they aren't nearly as durable as they need to be. Clearcoating always dulls it down a wee bit, but it's necessary for a durable finish.

    Engine Bay before and after: Powdercoating FTW!

    I'm glad you're pleased Jon, much improved over the stained/bead blast look :) I can't wait to unveil the Mt. Dew color scheme in all its glory. Anybody with questions about colors/turnaround or pricing can hit me up via PM or at rbcoating@gmail.com.

    Wyotech or UTI? Opinions on em?

    Wall Street Journal rated 200 jobs and out of 200 being an auto mechanic rated 187th. Don't waste your money at Wyotech or UTI. Go to a junior college and start working on a real degree or join the military and let them foot the bill for your education...

    What are you reading?

    I just finished Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut, don't know what I'll read next. I've been eyeballing a book about the history of the Porsche 917's

    and I thought I had problems......

    Nice Two Story home for sale, recent renovations. Open-air feel, lots of natural light. $15k OBO. Juuuuust kidding. So glad they got out safely, that's good news for sure. At least they've still got what's important, a house and cars are just things at the end of the day.

    So, who else is leaving facebook?

    There's no forcing whatsoever, your choice is whether or not you use facebook, nothing more, nothing less. You can complain all you want, but the only thing that's really in your power is what you choose to do with your time. The folks at facebook aren't stupid, if it hurts their business...

    Wtf? Dog box?

    Do some more searching and you'll find your answer. Nobody that I know of has one in a Mk3. Every dogbox I've seen runs straight cut gears (which are horrendously noisy). The expense is the big kicker, too. Search for hollinger and you'll probably find some dog boxes.

    Are KYB GR-2 suppose to be stiff?

    GR2's aren't much of an upgrade from the stock shocks, it's just that everybody's factory suspension is blown to hell.
