    bolt kit?

    Be careful that you're getting the same grade or class bolts. A lot of stuff that you find in hardware stores is class 8.8 or less. You use that where Toyota specified a grade 12.9 and you're cutting tensile strength by nearly 50%. Be careful, little mistakes like that can kill you, or at the...

    how long do you let a buyer pay to buy your Toy part?

    I've got to say the same. If the deposit wasn't clearly negotiated as "non refundable", you're skating on this ice here, and it's just generally a shitty thing to do.

    Uses of a Torque Plate?

    hvyman is correct. I misread your post, I thought you had already finished machine work. The torque plate will help ensure accuracy when honing the cylinders.

    Stupidly Expensive Stuff That All Men Want

    Yea, I know how you feel. I do too... However every time I pick one up, I just think about all the things I could do with that cash and mange to walk away. I wear a Seiko most of the time, not expensive but it's a decent watch: I've had it a few years. I think I paid somewhere $300's for it.

    Uses of a Torque Plate?

    The main purpose of a torque plate is to simulate the same load tensions and controlled stresses that the head puts on the block so when you hone your cylinders everything is in alignment. If your motor is already machined, it's not going to do much for you...

    Dalmore 1974 Single Highland Malt Scotch Whisky : Best price I've found is $746.81 a bottle. I've only ever owned one bottle, but I'd love another at some point. Someone buy me one for Christmas. :D

    Illegal Exhaust Ticket... Again.

    Illegal Exhaust Ticket... Again.

    My MKIV has a Tanabe Racing Medallion with no baffles and I don't get hassled in GA, it really depends on where you go. Cops general don't stop out of state people for sound ordinance violations unless it's really off the deep end.

    Final pay deduction?

    Wyoming does require that they pay you any outstanding accrued vacation, so they weren't doing you any favors, the law compels them to do this. In general (and remember I'm not a lawyer and these things vary from state to state) an employer can only deduct the value of any loans that you may...

    MKIV for $2500>?

    There is no eBay pay program. Nobody will EVER sell you a $15/20k car for $2500. No, not ever... You posted this in the wrong section as well.....
