In other news : Can anyone refer me a good ECU for a Toyota 4a-ge? I may go with adaptronic but I would like to hear what you guys have to say.
Oh waw. This 6-bolt hub adapter for the S13 steering column is so Chinese that the Chinese NRG knockoff quick-release and it's bolts don't even line up correctly. I can't screw them together without shearing or destroying the threads for both. I really need to invest in a quality Momo hub adapter and a Sparco or NRG steering wheel quick release. For now I'm gonna bolt the steering wheel to the hub for now. The quick-release looked and worked all cool too :(

Because my OEM is so tired and worn, falling apart. The only thing messed up is the quick release and I won't use it. But later I will invest in brand name. Not everyone has hundreds to blow on parts, this is average quality. College student lifestyle yo :P
[QUOTE=hoodoo456;35932328]Yes, because if i don't know every last detail of every single one of your precious jap-crap econoboxes or whatever the fuck that thing was, I'm ~totally~ just some stupid moron, right?[/QUOTE] Diseases can spread over the internet apparently. The arguing disease...
the car I was supposed to get my 2jz from has been sold (already posted that yesterday). today I learnt that the new owner crashed it in 5h after buying it... That engine would have served me right, and all the other parts would've served other members of our supra club real good. its a shame...Real shame
God, I just want to get this 'vette sold so I can get something else rolling. I need an extra set of wheels so I can take the time to fix a lot of stuff on the hatch that is falling apart. Tonight I lost a bolt from somewhere and may have popped the crank seal. sflabsldfbalsdfbhsagd And I don't think my TPS is adjusted correctly.
Went jeepin and BBQin today, friend took his stock cherokee, got babbys first mud stains on his car [QUOTE=sHiBaN;35932343] borderline racist person maybe?[/QUOTE] You're an idiot.
I'm dawning more and more closer to deciding on what car to get as College will be coming up soon for me and I just got a new job that pretty much requires me to have a car to get back and forth if they need call-ins and I want to jump to full time ASAP so i'll be there bitch for a while. Anyway, I'm looking for that Car that i can own forever C4 corvette or now looking at one of these (It's still 3800 series so ill still be apart of the 3800 club) [img]http://s3.racingjunk.com/ui/6/65/25828656-706-undefined.jpg[/img][img]http://s3.racingjunk.com/ui/0/66/25828660-613-undefined.jpg[/img] Only 10k, I'll take it. Emailed for vin and if theres extra pictures. If carfax checks out with no incidents and its asthetically clean then ill be owning this. I know I don't look or sound/type like a nascar fan but I do have my earnhardt plaque on my wall and sadly watched him in that accident that killed him. Love to own one of these and my father would probably cry and be happy that someone in the family would own one of these (He literally is die hard earnhardt fan)
Don't you hate it when you're cruisin 85 down a two-lane highway, almost no cars, and then some fuckhead going the speed limit merges into your lane in front of you, and matches the speed of the fuckhead in the right lane? I tailgated the shit out of that douchebag but some people are just so god damn stubborn
Did my first oil change on the camaro today woo

Sometimes people don't suck so bad man.
Man traveling 80+mph on curvy roads with bad control arms make you hella driver. I need to do my control arms badly ;_;, I really want to do it but really don't fell like doing it myself. And I REALLY don't fell like paying some fuckhead 92$ a hr to do it. Some one give me the motivation to do this shit. My car is lacking, and in need of care and luv.

Whenever you turn, you hear a nice BANG, feel it through the metal Those things cost so much too! Aftermarket adjustable toe arms, tension rods and those arms cost like, $100 a pop. :suicide:

About the whole rice thing: I personally hate bodykits. To me it looks like someone just threw as many random shapes on there as they could. Certain bodykits are nice and tasteful, assuming they're subtle and low-profile. I personally think that green FD is buttfuckugly, but that's just my opinion. However, calling any sort of bodykit "rice" isn't accurate at all, especially if you don't know what you're talking about. I refrain from using the term "rice" [I]because[/I] I don't know much about Japanese cars.

Already ordered them, I think they'll look nice. And for 100 bucks marked off for EACH RIM, i think it's a pretty nice deal, too. Gonna have to roll my fenders to get them to fit though, according to a friend. We'll see.

hellaflush is the most retarded fad in the whole history of cars
If v4 ever gets locked can we caption v5 with "rice rice baby". Haha

I waited to fix my brake pads and ended up needing new rotors and calipers too. Best to nip it in the bud before other things go wrong, because they [b]can[/b] and [b]will[/b]. :C
I asked /r/cars on reddit about this, though I thought I'd ask here too. Here's the thread: [url]http://www.reddit.com/r/cars/comments/tl7om/unlabelled_switch_in_a_used_car_any_guesses/[/url] If you're too lazy to click that thread for whatever reason, there's [URL="http://imgur.com/a/b3jE7"]a switch[/URL] in my Corolla that's unlabelled and I don't know what it does. I asked the previous owner and she doesn't know (Or forgot).

Turn it to on and start the car. Check for any irregularities. Also Justin, I love old school Japanese-design wheels. They just fit for cars as old as ours. Sometimes new Volks or modern wheels doesn't pull the look together.

What the fuck, I got my blazer back from the dealer, after getting a new AC pump (they didn't align it, didn't even touch the front end) and now every time i hit a bump, including regular road bumps on the road, my ABS lights flips shit and the lights on the dash come on even though the ABS isn't actually coming on. How the fuck did this happen when they didn't even touch my front end or anything related to the brakes? This makes no sense.

Can anyone recommend me a good internal GPS unit? (Double-DIN is okay)
