  1. I know you are looking for cash for school and taxes, but any chance of a trade for my 86 Toyota Corolla SR5?
  2. Should have gone SBC like all of the fast RX7s
  3. 03 Cobra, I have no idea why they would think I like slow cars
  4. +1 on slip and slide with the glide
  5. They have an engine design that even John Deere abandoned long ago.
  6. If you are not concearned with eliminating all of the old fluid, just the air, you can bleed them with a mighty vac. That will allow bleeding without pumping the pedal. Some ABS systems require special steps to ensure all fluid is changed in the modulator, not sure if yours is one of them. But with only 30,000 just getting the air out should be all you need.
  7. Roush Hardware in Westerville has a decent selection of grade 8 hardware, The Hardware Exchange in Delaware has a great selection. Most Napa stores can make hydraulic lines.
  8. Anthony, sure can Scott, pick them up anytime if you want, not sure when I will be able to bring them to you.
  9. Mike, I'll box your stuff up and set in the house before any small parts get lost. Brian, if you can get it started... Austin, yes, turn left after the third 4 wheel drive pickup with a gun rack. Eric, I've got the tools covered, many thanks though.
  10. Drywalling my garage soon, too many parts lying here to move around. If you have anything stored, left, or abandoned here please make arrangements to pick it up soon Thanks, Matt
  11. $140 for a 1000sq.ft. house at 68 degrees and a 720 sq.ft. garage at 45 degrees during the week and 70 degees on the weekends.
  12. Sorry, I'll have to pass on the VW.
  13. Going to Ebay this weekend if they don't sell here.
  14. Hillbillys have too much $ these days.
  15. Saw this posted on another forum. "The Top Gear telly programme has quietly become a global phenomenon. Recent figures suggested an extraordinary viewership, something in the region of one billon people across the globe. This explains why Jeremy gets mobbed on the streets of Dubai, why Richard Hammond is swooned over by housewives in Auckland and why James May will shortly appear on a series of commemorative stamps in Luxembourg. Probably. Only one country has been strangely resistant to the charms of three blokes cocking about in an old aircraft hangar - the United States of America. Untill now. Earlier this year, Discovery decided they wanted in on the Top Gear action, starting with 18 repackaged programmes using existing items from TG UK. Accordingly, our pluckly lads spent five days at the Top Gear base recording new studio linkds in a more American-friendly way. Basically, getting Jeremy not to call them fat and stupid. This, however, was a mere entree for Discovery’s main plan: to make thier own version of Top Gear on US soil. Thier own studio, thier own test track, even - since our boys were too busy and anyway James May doesn’y like places that don’t server a decent cup of tea - thier own presenters. That’s why earlier this eyar a brand new TG USA production team assembleddeep in the Mojave desert to create a pilot show for thier version of Britain’s favourite almost-BAFTA-winning car programmer. And, liker thier idea of what constitues a decent cup of coffee, the American take on Top Gear wasn’t entirely the same as ours. Instead of a shabby hangar and a track built around arifield taxiways, they got a pit garage and a proper circuit. Instead of filling the studio with 200 grunting Subaru drivers, they did without an audience. And instead of The Tall One, The Short One and The Other Oen, they hired three rather different American presenters. Bruno, a professional drag racer with casual tales of crashing at 230mph. John, the super keen jock, blessed with quaint ’sir and m’am’ good manners that only Americans can do. And, Johnny, a former reality show winner with a nice line in wierd humor. Fortunatly some reference points remained, including Star In A Reasonably Priced Car. But, to set the power laps, there could be no substitue - the Stig was flown to the US and stunned everyone with his blistering pace as he hammered the CLS55, Charger, and Mustang round the circuit. After two days’ shooting, the show that popped out of the other end was something familiar and yet rather different. For one thing, filming in sunshine gives the show a glossy feel a million miles from another drizzle sodden canter down a runway in Surrey. And shouting “Bring on the Stig” just sounds cooler in an American accent. If Discovery likes the pilot show, a series will follow in 2006. Then Americans can enjoy a weekly shot of Top Gear, just like the rest of the world." -Top Gear magazine
