  1. Educate and unfuck yourself immediately I can bet that you heard many things similar to that for the last 4 years. Face your life facts: 5'6", skinny, trailer park boy. Mine: not afraid of nunchucks, 'nuff said.
  2. Even more :lolguy: at calling a cop an asshole for pulling him over when he was definitely speeding
  3. At least he's got a fucking job

  5. All in good time. I'm not trying to keep up with the Jones' just yet :fa:
  6. Will be suited to hurt some feelings :gabe:
  7. Didn't take them very long. I see a long line of 2jz, LSx, and STi swaps coming. Not so much STi, but NA-T.
  8. I was thinking about PM'ing you once I did some more wiring research. Most of my questions I've had, I've fortunately been able to find consistent information on. Ill likely be shooting you a fairly extensive PM shortly on a few more in depth questions I've got. Thanks for the offer, I appreciate it. And since these rolling boats can't do corners to my liking, it will be better suited as a straight liner. I really debated on going 1.5Jz with a GE bottom end or just full blown 2JZ but I'd like to not have the typical answer when someone asks what's done to it. :fuckyeah:
  9. You are correct. Ill still be 1jz at this next one. Maybe ill run just to get some before and after times :lolguy:
  10. Must be a Kin of imstock. "Brian's fault! Brian Brian Brian!" I haven't been on here long, but it takes a real potato to come, bash two sponsors, One of which is a HIGHLY respected tuner. What the fuck are those, 185 tires?? :dumb:
  11. May be bitch made, but makes my innerd's feel funky when hooking up for a 60' :gabe:
  12. The auto is much simpler to swap in. The T56 is very similar in size to the V160 the MKIV Supra's utilize (which I really considered using in place of the T56, but I don't feel like selling a kidney) but the downfall is the bellhousing needed for the T56. It's too big to fit in the trans tunnel and from what I've researched the T56 may well be too large itself. I'm not chopping up my tunnel just to add a T56 and I'm not grabbing my ankles to get raped on a bellhousing to make the R154 fit. Economically it's the best option for me, and easiest. I like Alex can make the mounts, which is the main reason you don't see more LSx MK3's, no one produces the mounts to be readily available and somewhat reasonable in cost. TL;DR: Fuck a T56 or similar, 4Lx0, or TH350/400 FTW
  13. I'm gunning for a LQ9 but I should be getting a 5.3 at the very least within the next month. Then finding a 4L60 or 4L80 to mate to it and getting a driveshaft made and then wiring it up an it should be ready to rock. Given, this is a best case scenario :lolguy: I'm hoping to at least have the general swap done by the end of July, and hopefully throwing some boost among other things at it next spring :dumb:
  14. Extremely interested if my swap is done by then.
  15. Love 06/07's. If I get rid of mine and this is still on the market, it will easily be a top contender. Definitely worth the asking price. GLWS.
  16. Putting this up for a friend. It's a clean car with nice mods. He lives on campus, but is back in North Dayton a lot. The following was taken straight from the Craigslist posting. Within the next two weeks the valve cover gaskets and a bad strut mount bearing are being replaced. A few more pictures can be found within the Ad, stole a few from his Facebook and threw them on Imgur. The previous owner did all the mods. The only thing he has done is the Tails and XXR's since owning it. Not pressed to sell just seeing whats out there. 04 wrx 85k miles 13k obo no trades Mods IPS in columbus tune to 18psi 245 whp 253 tq (have dyno sheet) SPT short ram Invidia dp HKS Hipower exhaust Hks SSQV BOV skunk 2 lowering springs hood dampers Glow shift gauge cluster- boost, air/fuel, voltage 18" XXRs freshly powder coated purple on nitto neo gens.

  17. After all the teaser's of nice weather that we've had I'm not sure I can take THAT much more :fuuuu:.
  18. Still will drink one of these things withing the next 48 hours, and still not think twice.
  19. At 3 p.m. on a Sunday I'm going to say you are likely shit out of luck until tomorrow.
  20. Haven't been with CS6 much but ill see what I can do. No promises :lolguy:
  21. I'm so excited. Been far too long since the last live F1 race was on TV. It's definitely going to shape up to be an exciting season!
  22. A good friend of mine started his own shop about 2.5 years back. He was working full time at a shop, and started taking on sidework for family and friends. Word of mouth spread and he eventually had his hand in so many cars he got multiple notices from the county for zoning violations. After the year of so of doing this, and a pretty nasty falling out with his boss, things aligned for him to open his own shop up. He got a single bay shop that had one lift, with space to work on another car ahead of it on the floor and that was it. The other half was shared by a Mom and Pop delivery company. He was very fortunate to have his nephew (how I originally met this guy) graduating high school at the exact time he was thinking about all this. He sold his '69 Chevelle that was in mint condition for about $10,000, had about $5,000 saved, and got an investor for the rest. Last summer he moved out onto his own, 3 bay shop, still him and his nephew. They work basically whenever but this is mainly due to him being single with no family, but it allows him to bring on jobs people need done that night, or ASAP. He manages the maintenance on the fleet for the company he used to split a shop with, and another fleet across the street. He usually has 10-15 cars on the lot at a time for any given thing. When business get's slow, he starts buying wrecked cars that need a little loving, and then sells them. Actually had a pretty awesome article written about him. One of the most talented men I've ever known, and will likely ever know. I know one of the key ingredients to his success is knowing the most common cars inside and out. He was loyal to loyal customers, and would frequently give them some sort of incentive to stick with him. Would always be honest with his time, and would stick with his original estimate, unless it was an extremely drastic difference that you simply couldn't forsee and wasn't really anyone's fault. Even then, he usually only charged them for half the time extra he actually had in it. The biggest reason IMO for his success is he would take on jobs no one else would want, and if they did take them, it would be for an outrageous amount of money and take forever to do it. I pulled more engine's, dropped more transmissions and pulled more heads with this guy in a years time than I think I ever will for the remainder of my life. Wait...Did I mention he is paralyzed from the waste down and confined to a wheelchair? http://hhcourier.com/main.asp?SectionID=8&SubSectionID=33&ArticleID=157262 http://tdn-net.com/main.asp?SectionID=152&SubSectionID=255&ArticleID=104112 http://tippgazette.com/index.php/tipp-city-news/70-paralyzed-mechanic-lives-his-dream
