  3. Do those have a Lateral rod in the rear connecting the rear end to the chassis? I would check to make sure the bushing isn't falling apart or anything. You said you also put new springs and stuff on the car, are they aftermarket lowering springs? This could cause the alignment in the rear to be a off a bit with a stock lateral rod. Just some suggestions.

    If I had money I'd take that off your hands, sorry man!
  5. Are you looking at buying one? Honestly, I think 60 MPG is still very doable with either 4AC or 4AG considering how old the car is. A quick tune-up to make sure it's running like a top and you'll be getting good results, that's for sure. I would be really interested to see what turns out of that.
  6. Yeah, I'm aware of that.. More or less I did a little bit of research about that on my Lexus but came up generally empty handed. I'm not going between neutral and drive because I did a little testing myself to find that even if the car is neutral and i'm coasting it's at the same RPM as if I were coasting in drive. I'm not going to be bothered with going back and forth because I feel it's more work than necessary and I'm still trying ot be realistic.

  8. When I saw the original thread with the CNN video I ignored it because I read it as Hypermilling, and figured it was another stupid thread about teh kid that poured sand into his intake to port and polish his head or something stupid lol.
  9. actually, I never bitch about gas mileage.. I just wanna see how much of a difference there will be compared to my normal asshole driving I had a lady honk at me and ride my ass all the way next to the red light because I was basically coasting from one light that just turned green to a red one not even 100ft down the road. Like she can actually go anywhere while the light is still red
  10. Lawlz Like I care what its called.. I'm just trying to save some money just like everyone else :nod:
  11. lol.. glad I didn't say a damn word. It was hard not to I like to think I'm off on my own tangent when it comes to this board.
  12. Well, I saw the CNN video about the dude Hypermiling his car and thought maybe I might give it a try myself. I have a 2003 Lexus GS300 which I drive daily and according to fueleconomy.gov my car supposedly gets a combined MPG of 18. Normally I will run the car till the fuel light comes on which is roughly 380-400 miles. My goal is out of curiousity, but to see how much I can squeeze out of the car, with least effort and without going to the extreme as far as methods are concerned. I think putting the car in neutral and shutting it off while coasting is a little extreme in my opinion. I'm trying to be realistic when trying to save gas, and using simple techniques like coasting and limited braking, keeping the RPM's down while accelerating and utilizing cruise control, which everyone can do without too much effort. I filled my car up last night and noted how many gallons I put in the car and slightly over-inflated my tires. We'll see what happenes from here on out! OH, and I noticed the ECT SNOW function on my car limits the throttle inputs quite a bit so hopefully I'll see a difference by the end of this tank.
  13. I made it through 10 questions and realized how long the test was, lol.
  14. ...Wow Scraping knees and everything
  15. You're really considering anything other than the Ferrari?
  16. Back in the 70's and 80's it was common to see an oil cooler on the front of Nissans, Datsuns and some Toyotas that raced in Japan.. wasn't long before it was ruled against for obvious reasons, however I'm quite fond of the look. Occasionally the only place you see it now is on restored GC10's(old skylines) and the rediculous Boso cars. Personally I think it looks good but most sanctioned events will require me to relocate it behind my bumper. I wouldn't just do it because it's JDM or anything, but more of the Nostalgic Japanese Racer styling.
  17. These are the only pictures I have really seen of my car so far Pat. http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b107/2zumeunos/rolla/hin/IMG_1943.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b107/2zumeunos/rolla/hin/IMG_1948.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b107/2zumeunos/rolla/hin/IMG_1950.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b107/2zumeunos/rolla/hin/IMG_1958.jpg
  18. Is it bad that I laughed out loud as soon as I saw the picture?
