Fuck, 4+ hours is a lot for me to be on my bike. I'm interested in meeting up at some point in the cruise..

What is going on? I know all manufacturers have issues, so before the butthurt enters this thread, beware I will swear by GM day and night, but this is getting insane. Every week it seems I hear some new recall. http://www.forbes.com/sites/billkoenig/2014/06/16/general-motors-recalls-another-3-16-million-vehicles-boosts-quarter-recall-tab-to-700-million/

Ask Alex L. I know he can do just about anything with a welder. Some say he uses his beard as a source of power.....

More like INB4 Wes butthurt.

All I wanted for fathers day was a group for 2 seaters.

Same. Supra's have back seats... And make more power than those non back seat having phaggots. Enter GTR

Resurrecting this thread.

May just go with an HF box for now, then I can just pay cash and worry about one less payment. I'd rather invest in tools at this point. Really like this but it seems like no one has it in stock locally, it is 2"-3" taller than a similar Snap On box, but 2" less on depth. I'm tall so I like the idea of a 42" tall box instead of a 39" or so. This is the one I am referring to. http://www.harborfreight.com/72-in-18-drawer-glossy-red-industrial-roller-cabinet-61656.html But this may be the better option as well, not too big, still has the height, plenty of room to grow into it, and I'm not dropping a grand into a box. http://www.harborfreight.com/56-in-11-drawer-glossy-red-industrial-roller-cabinet-67681.html

Yep. Jeff's a good guy.

This guy finally showed up. http://i.imgur.com/ji1hVdM.jpg

Looking for a P trim turbine housing, .84 A/R, twin scroll...nothing else. Must be 3" v band as well I know it's a long shot here but I wanted to try local for this before I go hunting on forums and eBay. Used or new, doesn't matter but it must be in good, useable condition. Hopefully someone has something laying around. Thanks

I did not know that about Cornwell, and I'm glad you told me this. I was about to buy a Cornwell 3 bay tomorrow morning, looks like I'll go snap on. The flyer Jeff gave me had something on the front about buying a 3 bay for the price of a 2 bay, no idea what the specifics are, I'll give him a call tomorrow morning. I'd love to buy a used one as it's a much better deal, but I don't have $3,000 laying around to dump into a box. If I did have $3,000 laying around it would go into tools more than likely. Thanks everyone for the good input. As Scott said, even if I ever get out of it I'll always be working on my cars or everyone else's so I'd rather keep the tools even if that means making payments on them. I've done a good job so far of not doing what a lot of new techs seem to do and go in $5,000 with Snap-On and others just in tools because they can finance it. I'd rather pay cash up front and only finance if I have to, even if it means slaving away with old school stuff.

I did have fun with it. We were out there until 1 this morning before people left...on their on terms.

The plan is to stay in it for awhile, then try to branch off into something else similar to what I think you do. It is a tough career, but it seem's dealers have more money to be made compared to these Tire/Oil/Service shops.

I'd assume the same as tonight. HD until they get kicked, then Lowe's.

I was out at HD for a few, left once a big group of imports revving came in. Looks like I left in the nick of time

I recently landed a new job at a dealership. I plan on wrenching for a long time and plan on being at the new place for awhile. Currently I own a Harbor Freight 13 drawer box, it is a Jenga puzzle to get things back in. I'd like some a good bit bigger than what I need currently so I can grow into it, and box's definitely aren't getting cheaper. I could get a cheapo Harbor Freight box, but they seem to be built so shitty and the drawers don't roll well with a decent amount of weight in them. I want a good balance between quality and cost for now, tools are more what I'm interested in putting my money in, not a box. Here are two of my top contenders, they seem to fit all the needs I currently have. They are the most similar I am able to find between the two brands. Mainly interested in Cornwell and Snap-On as I've heard they seem to stick around. I've had three people tell me Mac can't seem to keep anyone around, and I am not a fan of Matco, just personal preference. http://www.cornwelltools.com/webcat/products.php?product=CTB75BBL-%252d-75%E2%80%9D-Cabinet-with-15-drawers-%252d-Blue# http://store.snapon.com/KRA2418-Classic-96-Series-Roll-Cabs-Roll-Cab-Classic-96-Triple-Bank-18-Drawers-Royal-Blue-P644558.aspx Thanks in advance.

X2. Would like to get out and stretch my legs and the bikes legs after a shitty day.

Then we've got this Bitch. A 15 year old is more well spoken than her.

It sounds a lot like your Valve Stem Seals. I'd check your charge pipes as mentioned too. The timing belt is super easy on JZ engines. Remove your radiator, pull the timing covers off, and remove and replace the harmonic balancer as they all split. The hardest part is breaking the balancer bolt loose OE TQ spec is over 200 ft/lbs. It took me 10 hours my first time, second time it took me 2-3 hours. As stated, get the right tools. If you need any help PM me and I'll be happy to help you as best I can. I've torn my 1JZ down to do the timing 3 times now due to parts failures.

My mom used leaders to move to Columbus, they did terrific and were very easy to work with and very respectful of some very sentimental items. 10/10 for them.
