Gonna go out on a limb here and guess you meant "hunting" and not "hurting" :P Lol. No. 7+ discs bulging, bursting, or otherwise out of place. Pain is life... :lol: (It's what everyone from the head docs to the pysch docs to the body docs say....) Yeah... I didn't spend a lot of...

Occupies about 5% of my time. I drive around... 750-1500 miles a year.

Rest of the time is spent hurting, and in between that yard/house/kitchen work.

Agreed. It's about 500% more ecu than I'd ever need, but still a really cool evolution. I'm familiar with adaptronic. Anything that can make it through Dakar had my vote. Looks like the insurance is finally going to start on the supra. Expecting the 86 to be totaled. Need to decide if I'm going to b...

Truth. The hondata and hp tuners setups are extremely simple to use with a bit of learning time. Plus they're still factory ecus. The Kpro does boost/timing by gear/speeds/wheelspeeds - honestly as much as some standalone setups eased to and more. Just a bit of rewiring to connect the proper sensors...

What the Corolla was partially for. Once I get ahold of a tig setup the plan was to do sheetmetal and tubing. So, body work, metal flares, and probably a tube front. Then I'd be pretty much ready to start on said truck. Was just working on a shop building before things 180'd in the last few months. ...

Assuming you're not in California it's easier here. Varies by state, but generally if you can pass emissions and have the resemblance of catylitic converters (assuming you're playing with an OBD2 vehicle)... The SBC is a constant source of drama for car guys that love to rooster measure and argue ab...

That K24 (2.4 liter4-cylinder Honda for people like me who had to look it up) seems like a sturdy engine alright. My first problem would be that it's not a Toyota engine, and I think it is better to stay with an engine from the same family. And then if I was going away from Toyota why not a factory...

I think most 86 owners that want power might be better off with a K24.

Also, per one of our old presidents that loved trophy hunting they taste like spoiled fish. Think it was Teddy. He liked slaughtering animals for lounge decorations.

I'd buy isolation as an adaptation. Not many other ways to cut out 80% of the predators while securing a monopoly on real estate.

Cold today with a wind that comes directly from the South Pole. If you listen carefully you can hear Penguins discussing Global warming :) Cheers... jondee86 Only because they know we ruined thousands of years of hard work only to undo it by needing to transplant the last polar bears into their fro...

We have similar situations here where a "developer" will buy and subdivide a large plot, offer standardized homes, and sell them. The running joke here is it's a complete crap shoot on quality. Generally they skate by at the bare minimum that'll pass inspection structurally and then you ge...

It's similar here, but each state has counties, and each county has cities, townships, etc. Each one of those can apply rules and regs to building requirements. HOA's can be as small as a few homes or a whole town - homeowner associations (paid subscription to be in specific neighborhoods to make su...

If you head towards Baltimore, MD and know which block is "safe'ish"... you can buy a row home for $5k-$30k usd, put 30-50k into it (far less or far more depending on your labor and materials), and rent the thing out for $1200/month. :lol: It's what our old realtor did. Had a contractor bu...

Nice wheels but not what I am looking for. Car came from the factory with 8Jx18 ET34 and 8.5Jx18 ET37 wheels fitted with 225/40-18 255/35-18 run flat tires. I've ditched the run flats and carry a space saver plus tools, and at this stage I'm not in any hurry to change the wheel specs. Some people w...

You're welcome. And sorry. :lol: Also, that was pretty much the wheel type I was expecting to see. I hate Te37s... :lol: They're like the gingers of wheels - No souls. :mrgreen: Did see these. No branding, but 19x8 and 19x9 in low offsets from a 5 series... https://www.nengun.com/unknown/manufacture...

Staying with factory wheels on the BM for the time being. They may not be beautiful but they are strong and cheap to pick up a spare set. Decent aftermarket forged wheels in the correct offset are ridiculously expensive in this country. There are a lot Asian made alloys being sold, but I have quest...

Nice. I was hoping you'd have that many options. Really let's you dial things in. Everywhere. I. Go... get teenagers yelling at me to do burnouts.... I usually ask if they've got a spare $1000 for new rubber. :lol: 295/30/18's out back. Michelin Pilot Super Sport 2's. Can't say enough good things ab...

Yeah, that person does not seem to be a good match to the position. Much easier to deal with a "car guy" who understands how classics can be worth a good bit more than their book value. Maybe you have a car yard somewhere local that deals in sports cars, vintage and specialist vehicles ??...

Here in NZ we have just started the process of repatriating NZ citizens from wherever they have been stuck since the beginning of the border closures to slow the spread of covid. It seems that every plane that arrives has asymptomatic cases that only develop symptoms or test positive after a few da...

Is the back window on the Supra busted or is that just a reflection ? If the window has gone that could be a trick part to get hold of. There is a little JDM Toyota SERA two-door that has a big "fastback" style back window. Once the window gets busted the car will be written off even if t...

What I'm currently sitting in my deck looking at... https://i.ibb.co/hfN0sVn/20200624-201728.jpg https://i.ibb.co/b3pQsx9/20200624-201736.jpg https://i.ibb.co/t2KQY7w/20200624-201803.jpg https://i.ibb.co/vzF0Pr4/20200612-104250.jpg Not currently enthused. :lol:

Sadly, human nature... doesn't excuse the behavior but attempts to.justify.it, I suppose. Take the untouched tribes around the world the never had a word for "liar" or "thief". There's a social purity there where everyone doing what they're good at genuinely benefits the whole. I...

Never a dull moment around your place by the sound of it. Looking at it from the outside it appears that the US is going into meltdown socially, economically and morally. When I read about some of the evil things happening in the US simply because one political party is desperate to stay in power, ...

It makes me happy that there are still people in this world that are so dedicated to their ideals that they can build cars like these with minimal resources. Just a bunch of talented engineers and craftsmen doing what they love. Mean bit of work. :D There have always been real tradesmen scattered a...

Dayyyymn... that's a big hit :( Hope you can find a way get it repaired and back on the road. Always had a soft spot for those big ass Supras but they never did drop low enough in price here for me to be able to afford one. Same as... I did most of my learning about how cars work on my AE86. Just e...

WTF was Tesler thinking with that truck ?? Billionaire on acid... In the end some good may come of it, like the push for country wide charging networks and solar / battery development. They're just about the right size to develop things AND not horde them to protect their own margins. There are ver...

One of the few nicer things of late is a "right to repair" bill slowly drowning in the deadlocked chambers. Not surprising, it only benefits actual people. :lol: Though I believe Tesla was forced to open up availability of it's software to general shops and individuals in the last year or ...

I don't think there has ever been a time when governments and dictators did not seek to single out "non-conforming" minorities and turn their full weight against them. Even today when it might be expected that our rulers should have learned something from 2000 years of persecution, crusad...

Car-part.com :D Looks like the whole column, also not sure how the rhd lhd columns vary. Can probably call and ask for a photo. Or on the off chance mine is totaled now (thanks, tree :lol: ) can see about either nabbing it before it's taken or buying the car back to strip for parts. Wasnt hit hard, ...
