  1. looks to be the same general idea as an Individual Throttle Body setup, but.. wayyy old.
  2. I either have the stomach flu or I got food poisoning because I feel like shit :/
  3. I couldn't get in the brown box in the second room and gave up..
  4. It's the wheels, too big for the car and the offset/lip is horrible.
  5. Well, I wished I would've done this before I actually dropped the motor in my car because now it'll be a PITA, but recently I've been kicking myself in the ass for not being so precise about my cam timing. The car runs like a raped ape as it sits by just setting my aftermarket cams in my motor in pretty much standard timing, but the cam card suggests I run 100in and 98ex degrees which I'm doubtful they're at right now. My question; anyone here have any PERSONAL experience in degreeing cams? I haven't taken the time to do it myself, but since I haven't gotten hands on experience there's some stuff that confuses me and I wouldn't mind someone's help if at all possible. I don't want to take my car to a shop to have it done because I hate relying on other people to do stuff I should really just teach myself.
  6. $530 bucks isn't too terribly bad, I picked up both my webers(2) for 850 new pre-jetted and etc, and a custom manifold for my car was about 100 bux. Since then I've spent about 100 dollars on jets just to get it running decent, but I suspect once I get it on the dyno there is MUCH more jetting to be done. It's been a bunch of fun learning how to tune carbs because it's more or less a hobby that people these days aren't willing to learn. It's really satisfying when you can pop the hood, make a couple adjustments here and there that make a big difference while people watch in amazement. Kids these days are clueless, and I think carbs are cool as hell .
  7. Mikuni's are nice as hell to work with but jets and etc are starting to get really hard to find.. I almost went with a pair of 44's on my corolla but I gave in and spent the extra for webers since they still make plenty of parts for them.
  8. What side-draft carbs do you plan on using if you go that route?
  9. You have 30 days to send that company a "dispute letter" stating the account is not legit, and your side of the story. Don't waste your time using words like "he's a dick". Stick to the facts. Do not call them for this.
  10. The leader of Outbrake Motorsports and owner of this car, Derrick, has been building this car for a couple years now and last year he was able to get it out for the first time, right before the season ended. He had some trouble keeping the couplers on his intercooler piping but other than that it was a fuckin' hoss. He rebuilt an L28ET Z motor and put an R200 skyline rear end in it with the original 4 speed tranny. Reason I thought I would share is because I saw Linc's thread about a Z and figured someone might find this pretty cool. http://www.portal.conceptual-x.com/andy/derrickz.wmv
  11. it's fucking nice out today.. anyone?

    Why don't you just rebuild a stock L28ET and call it a day?
  13. I'll have the corolla out.
  14. then shut the fuck up.. But really, don't be so naive. Your EX is trying to find any way to have a connection with you.
  15. Uhh? Sounds like a sweet holiday but I never heard of it.
  16. I need some eye candy before I am able to vote :thumbup:
  17. \ Because it's a true story lol. To be honest, I didn't even realize you misspelled pavement either haha. I'm all about the power to weight ratio dealie Problem is, my car still won't be fast by any means.. but It'll certainly be quick.
  18. I'll quote this just because everyone needs to read it again.
  19. The guys at the shop didn't think my scrawny ass could put down a loaded thurman burger, but I did. Hell, I even ate all the chips that were included.. and a chocolate chip cookie for desert . I'm a whopping 5'10" 140ish lbs.
  20. If you take this to court you have to realize you were still speeding, which is breaking the law so either way you're still in the wrong whether you fight the officers, ticket or not.. so just pay the damn thing.
  21. Riding a Jeenyus board and Flow bindings with some Northwave boots.
