thats only half a tanks worth. i NEED to get my car towed down ASAP. insurance is hounding me of when they can look at it.

I still got a comp im trying to see if anyone is interrested or knows someone who is.

 

I need a S4 N/A driveshaft like yesterday! Anybody got one?

 

I got 2 in the garage! And bonus... I'll be in falls church on Wednesday so I can meet you somewhere about DC.

 

anyone want to go paintballing?? like for a meet?

 

haha... i just found out that Nippon Denso is actually the old electronics seection of TOYOTA that spun off after WWII.

its still part of the "Toyota Group" that includes:

Toyota Tsusho Corporation (Industrial stuff)
Aisin Seiki Co. (car parts such as transmissions)
Kyoho kai group - Auto parts company - 211 companies.
Kyouei kai group - Logistic/facility company - 123 companies
Daihatsu Motor Co
Fuji Heavy Industries, manufacturer of Subaru automobiles
Hino Motors (diesel trucks and buses)
Denso
Misawa Homes
Isuzu

 

might be buying a '93 Pontiac Trans Sport minivan for my wife. gotta look it over first.

 

General Motors owns a part of Fuji Heavy Industries, and has deals with several other parts... (Solstice and Sky use an Aisin transmission, Vibe is a Toyota Matrix, which uses Denso parts, etc...)

Don't forget about the Fudds meet this weekend!!

 

i got some nut tying to pull a cashiers check scam on me over this computer im trying to sell. I will be more than glad to give it to the cops for mail fraud.

 

Lovely fellow.

 

woooo.....my mom found me a connection with a toyota mechanic whos willing to help me fix my car for free. I also got it towed out of here finally so my HOA cant touch it anymore.

 

I loathe HOAs.

 

Well my car is completely dead again. it spun a bearing and may have done other major damage to the engine when it shot all the oil out of it when overheated.

i'm looking up my options now

 

WOOT!!! I'm so psyched! I went by the shop last night and my vert is completely back together!! They only had to hook up the headlights and fix a radiator bracket last night, so I may be able to get it back TODAY!!

 

I'm trying to buy a much better Supra than my old one from a guy in Massachusetts. Only thing wrong with it supposed to be a blown turbo which i would send off to be fixed. but its already set up to make about 500ish HP (when im done tuning it) and its a targa top with nice leather interior.

dunno how i'll get used to a white exterior with blue interior though. specially since i may be buying a matching ford taurus for my wife too :-p

 

Hey guys, i just want to let you know i have found my brake problem!!!!

the fluid was leaking from the right rear caliper, so i have another coming in tomorrow. Hopefully, i can drive it, the car finally starts wen you want it to, and is pretty consistent now.

I knew once i had a couple of hours to work on the car without interruption i would figure it out. Oh yea, i got rid of the ugly azz 86 taillights and put S5 ones in there

 

Hey, I dont think the S4 lights are ugly, they're just nowhere near as cool as the S5 lights!

I actually like it. it would be 10 times better if it was in a different color though

(yeah I know it's retardedly big but I didn't feel like resizing it.)

 

oh excuse me then...

Well the S5's make a big diff on the overall appearance. Now jus gotta put the caliper on and get the turn signals working and then off to body work...yay!

 

so asside from some stiffening and a different roof, its just a modded up s2000.

"2.2-liter, 16-valve DOHC VTEC® 4-cylinder engine and a precise, short throw 6-speed manual transmission, along with tenacious handling and a perfect 50/50 weight balance.
237 horsepower at 7,800 rpm and 162 lb-ft. of torque at 6,800 rpm"

more and more manufacturers are making premodded cars to steer the ricers to get brand new cars. how long untill honda releases it with a turbo like mazda did for the miata.

 

didnt win the auction cuz some asshat sniped it (who the **** snipes on a CAR?)

anywho, got someone selling me a running engine so I get to install that now. and its getting historic tags after its back on the road.

 

anyone seen this rx-7 for sale?

i completely agree with this post.

 

haha. it seems the guy who outbid me on the car cant follow thru on it so the seller is talking to me about me purchasing it directly now.

"You seem (from your e-mails) to be the only one to know whats going on with the car i.e. how to deal with a blown turbo. Needless to say this other character fell through on his e-bay auction so I have put him in contact with my dad now. Please let me know if your still interested we can work something out with shipping etc."
