  1. Would not touch that car with a ten foot pole. If you could get it cheap then maybe, but I would want to go through the car first. Like Pat was thinking above that is a local car.
  2. I have never owned one, but have worked on/ driven them in the past. If it were me and this is totally up to me, I would have one with the 1uz V8 in it and just mod that. Although I would not turbo it because I like the power it makes as it is. If I wanted a classy lexus with the I6 swap I would do it in the IS300, smaller sportier car that weighs much less than the SC or LS series. Just my .02 and my preference, I am one that thinks the 2JZ is a little over rated, its a fantastic motor, but the 7m or 1JZ could make as much power with less money IMO.
  3. Everyone is a critic...some people just try to say that shit so they can say they were in the news. Pretty sad if you ask me.
  4. LMAO that is awesome, I like the external oil cooler.
  5. RIP regardless of his past history. Glad CBS still aired the Farrah Fawcett tribute thing.
  6. Port Clinton Ohio, stay at The Shores... hit Put-in-Bay/Kelley's Island etc.... Excellent food at The Garden up there, as well as Jolly Rogers
  7. Love the sport, could not imagine ever doing it. I agree, some of the most talented drivers out there hands down. They do things in an ever changing environment as well at the same level, where as other forms of racing are more predictable.
  8. Welcome fellow MR2 owner! Were you by chance at the SCCA autocross at Ackerman last Sunday?
  9. Jealous, just like I am jealous of this kid that has an Audi A6 Quattro w/ the 2.7t that he doesn't take care of haha.
  10. First thought is M3, but too many things don't match up, so idk.
  11. I do at the shop with access to a lift. On the other hand I have NO PROBLEM doing extensive work in a garage/driveway with or without an air compressor. I'm old school roots.
  12. Don't go to far into the dark side!
  13. The 997 was pulling hard, looked better than the ZR1 to me. Liked the ZR1 vs ZR1 that was kinda neat to see.
  14. I almost had the donor car for it too! But that was before the MKIII was in Reed's hands.
  15. Sweet motor for sure, would love it in a LS400 haha.
  16. I need to get a live account....(Don't kill me pat) I've only been putting it off since i have gotten the thing.
  17. Makes sense, it's the learning to reach for the torch more often that takes some getting used to.
  18. Welcome, car looks fantastic. I love the GLI swaps.
  19. See like I said, I have done a pretty fair handful of them successfully, but like i said with no consistency. It is interesting that (mitsumodder) you guys burn everything out.....you don't try and take anything else apart? I am assuming that that is due to flat rate? I do use a hub tamer which in turn means I don't have to pull the knuckle off. (on car) Thanks Joe, your input helps as well, I was looking for technical how too if it was different from mine, and some sharing in the hate of doing these things lol. Thanks guys, that's what I wanted to know!
  20. Question for Subaru factory tech if there are any here/people who have done Subaru rear wheel bearings. Legacy/Forester/Impreza How do you guys get to the point when you press the old wheel bearing out? I have done over a dozen now with no consistency and was wondering how the flat rate guys/factory guys do them. I have only had one where the big long bolt behind the knuckle came loose and it was because i pulled both sides out when the car came to us with 15K and lubed them for this reason. I mean Subaru has got to hear the techs bitching about this, they have had this design since the early nineties or earlier. So when the big bolt doesn't come loose you pull the inner bolts for the control arms/rods, the strut bolts, etc. I mean you have to pull either the big bolt or the two inner bolts b/c the axle won't come out any other way. We had a car yesterday where the big bolt was seized and the bolt that adjusts the rear toe was frozen inside the sleeve in the bushing. Subaru didn't have the bushing in stock! GEEEEZ they have to know that this is a common problem?? SO, why don't you stock these parts?? So all in all I guess if you have read the above, are you doing the same thing, or something different?
  21. LMAO i was thinking the same thing! To the new guy, welcome! And a long story shirt there is an older gentleman that FLIES up and down indianola with a black glh-t Omni which is why the question was asked.
  22. Speedway, UDF, Flyin' J Sunoco leaded 112 for the karts
  23. Nothing wrong with that...now lets concentrate on drunk driving and we will be set.
