Maryland guys!
Hah! My first car was a used 1981 Tercel SR-5 3 door.
In that car I learned....
"Lawn jobs"
Dropping the clutch
understeer
oversteer (after slamming the brakes and turning the wheel)
how to break axles (and then how to fix)
off road driving
parking brake turns
that a slow car can sometimes beat a faster car from A to B if you are just a more crazy driver
I think I got mine up to about 90 once... but it was terrifying!

i even did a bleach patch once just to see if i could make even MORE smoke.
I also did a 40 MPH 90-degree right turn in front of the assistant principle of my HS. her jaw hit the sidewalk
considering this it the 5th edit ive done to this post. lets just say its more a matter of what DIDNT i do in that car. best had to be driving from rockville to Kent island in 23 minutes. I honestly dont know how it did it.
hey guys, im running into trouble. my car is having idling issues would it be because of my seals or do i need to tune the car because i upgraded the exhaust to 3" piping straight back from the down pipe
I'm assuming it's a TII, it wouldn't be from your exhaust, it's probably due to a vacuum leak. if you bring it to the fuddruckers meet next weekend I can take a look at it.
If you're really worried about your seals, I can bring a compression tester and a socket and we can test your compression then and there :P
Fixed!

I tried to blame gravitational anomalies in the vicinity of my right foot, but he didn't buy it. 118 in a 50, sustained over 10 miles.
my car is proof that you dont need an EGR system for a car to pass emissions. only EGR type thing i have on my car is the cat.

yay, I got my rx-7 running again last night w/ new radiator, brakes, and coil-overs, then replaced my brake fluid with DOT-5, and drove it to work this morning 
everyone needs to come to the meet this weekend, this will be the first one my 7 will be at
EDIT: btw, speed bleeders are amazing.

for 4 pot front brakes they're 8100s on the front and 7100s on the back.
I tried getting them at advance auto or pepboys, but they never had the right sizes in stock.
