Hmm, I've got $1500 I could blow. How many miles are you allowed per year? What are the other limits on the lease? Never leased a vehicle.

I think your talking about a certain blue JETTA GLI on the boards. He goes by ShooterSimmons, but his name is Matt. he's got a standard GLI, 18's, etc, big fmic, gauges, and quite a few upgrades. I'll ask him if he ran a stealth.

Yup, much props to them, and a few other guys over there, great team and a nice hookup. They've worked on 5 or so of my cars and if anything wasn't to my liking it was taking care of, no prob. Rock on guys

Wait, we're both in school and I know nothing about these discounts. How do I get them or find more info out about them?

Oh yeah, and if your dropping to like a 3.4 or something, don't forget to do all the supporting mods to run that safely. If you got any questions just ask, pm or call me.

Thorne, you said you were thinking about buying the press on pulley from Intense, right? Well I also remember you saying you wanted 12's, so just go ahead and spend the extra $75 or whatever it is to get a pulley system so that when you want to drop a pulley size in the future its a simple 5 min job, no special tools. Not to mention, if you go to intense and buy there pulley setup, they will install it for free. So the money you save on buying/renting a pulley puller is used to buy the system. That's about the only thing I'd recommend from Intense though, DON'T get there pcm.

Wowzers! lol. Thanks for the explanation on laundry loads, I think I understand it now, but damn guys :chill: I'm going to do some reading on the two and we'll see what's up. thanks again

No, I don't want to mess with fuel injected crap, but sorry If this is a stupid question, but what is SBC, or what does it stand for? I don't know shit about V8's. I've thought about an LS1, a buddy has one in an 87 rx7, and its badass but definitely pricey.

Sweet, I'll look around for one, approx how much should I plan to spend on the motor? Those motors like spray too right? You think the rearend would hold up a 100shot or so? I'll have to get on the supra forums to see what tranny i would need, or where would I even find that info, lol. Oh yeah, and I want to carb it to leave out the wiring bullshit, but what about all the power accesories inside the car, i mean this car is loaded, power windows, locks, seats, etc etc. Also, how would I get the speedo/tach to work correctly?

Hmm, yeah I only have my laptop so we don't have anything that would work. Maybe I'll get the laptop and have the ram upgraded, someone said 1gb, would that be a good upgrade from 256 and would I notice it with what she wants to do? Matt

Noooo....RWD pwns!!! Screw the neon, it's just a neon...

Wow.... Alright, well I'll see if she would like a desktop or laptop better. I have a dell laptop and I do everything but play games on it and its never given me shit. The only thing that worries me if I go with the Mini is that I'll have to spend another $300 or so to get a flatscreen monitor, mouse and keyboard. Hmmm....i'll let you guys know soon. Oh yeah, and what about the ghz speed? My laptop is like 3.2ghz, which sounds really fast, but all three of these machines only have like 1.3ghz or so, will I be able to tell that its that much slower or does the ram affect processing speed? Thanks Matt

What's Tiger and Airport? No haven't priced anything else out, just kind of glanced around last nite. I really don't want to spend much more than $500ish, but we'll see. What does the 512mb of ram do for me over the 256? Thanks

So my wife really wants her own computer because she says i hog my laptop constantly and snap at her if she wants to use it when I'm on it....pffft, whatever. But yeah, I'm going to get her one for her bday. Looking to spend around $500 or so, and the Mac Mini really caught my eye. I've found them for as low as $455....these things are tiny. Here are the specs... 1.25GHz 40GB HD Combo Drive 256MB DDR333 SDRAM ATI Radeon 9200 with 32MB DDR video memory DVI or VGA video output Built-in 56k Internal Modem Mac OS X v10.3 Panther --$455 OR for another $120 I could get this... 1.42GHz 80GB HD Combo Drive 512MB DDR333 SDRAM ATI Radeon 9200 with 32MB DDR video memory DVI or VGA video output Built-in AirPort Extreme & Bluetooth Mac OS X v10.4. Tiger Now honestly, what's the big differences between these two? Lastly, I love my Dell laptop and even though it cost near 2grand, the thought came across my head to get her one. What about a Dell Inspirion 1200? Specs are... Intel® Celeron® M Processor 350 (1.30 GHz/1MB Cache/400MHz FSB) Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Edition 256MB Shared, 1 DIMM 30GB4 Ultra ATA Hard Drive 24X CD Burner/DVD Combo Drive 8-Cell NiMH Primary Battery (43WHr) OR upgrade to 8-Cell LION Primary Battery (65WHr) for $100 - Difference here? That dell laptop is $499. All in the same ballpark, only thing nice about the laptop that I just realized is that I won't have to buy a monitor, mouse, keyboard, etc. All she really does is surf the web/homework online, use Word, and print pictures/makes photo albums. Oh and she likes SIMS, the game. Now I have an external HD to store crap on so not really worried about that, she just needs a basic computer to do her thing. What do you guys think? Thanks Matt

Ok, well I've got the motor/tranny sold out of the Supra, and I was thinking about dropping a V8 in it. I'm sure its been done, I'll search tomorrow, but what all would be involved? How cheap could I get a decent motor/tranny and what kind of power would it put down? I'm new to V8's, only dealt with 4 and 6cylinders, with FI. So school me if you will. Thanks

"Still blowin the welds on the intake manifold?" - Torretto. Can't wait to see it, glad you got it running....near the end of the season!!

JDM yo! What's the plan with it? What year?

rob....you never came to help out, but its ok, i saved it for you tomorrow,

i'm headin out now, anyone else feel free to join. Call my cell

I'm not going to pull the motor unless your 100% confident you WILL buy it tonight, CASH in hand. If this is not the case I won't waste my time. Like I said, call me. Otherwise I am planning on starting to pull it shortly. Better be sure what you want. Matt

hahaha, no that's just where i want to meet, lol, but of course I'll make the drive wherever.

Cool, well you've got my cell #, what time were you thinking? The car/my garage is right off 71 and 5th ave. Let me know! Thanks

Also, anyone want to help with pulling an engine? Anytime would be great, the more people the better. Its an 88 Supra turbo that I'm pulling. Beer/pizza/pop on me for anyone that joins in. Thanks Matt

we're meeting on the northside....east side is long gone.

Mallard, no he has not made his manifold yet, He's making it himself, The guy is selling this turbo with a decent size IC for $200. So it sounds like a good deal, he checked for shaft play and said he didnt find any. Awesome, well that should work for him. Spln Sux....you said he won't really be spooling until 3k rpms? Is that right? Even with a full exhaust and larger IC piping? Hmmm
