I didn't get a prom. I didn't really get a school though, either.

Also got injectors, resistor pack, turbo computers and a oil pan with return line.
[QUOTE=Koenigsegg;36098978]Yeah, all the 86s I can find are all failed initial d projects. I love all the hype the anime gave the car but sometimes I really wish it didn't exist. As for the 240sx i'm probably just gonna choose whichever seems to be the best deal.[/QUOTE]
I can't find a 86 for the life of me in decent condition. I'm not really a fan of it because of the anime or anything, I just freakin love the look of it as a hatchback and the trueno.. If I could get my hands on it and work on it, that would be lovely. But I doubt I'll ever find one in decent condition, or stock at that (don't want to be a modified one)

[QUOTE=sHiBaN;36099139]Really, I don't have any money lol. I've been unemployed for a while, mom and pop just scrounged up enough money for a 240sx I found off some guy that's going broke. Hence why I chose a 240sx, this one had a busted head gasket and worn parts. Few hundreds and this thing is already running again lol.
This afternoon I plan to take off the front bumper. The pignose vents are actually fake, I'm gonna cut em up to make them real vents into the engine bay. I need any help lol. All I need are the right tools and a bit of money
Hachi's can be great drift cars as long as you have the money and time.[/QUOTE]
Despite all the fantasy bs, my friend has a cousin who claims his 86 is pretty decent at drifting, stock at that and he hasn't put too much money into it. Is he talking out his ass, and just hyping it based off fantasy or what? What would you recommend as a good drifting car then without pouring a lot of money and time into?

So, she pegged you?
Are there any aftermarket tachometers that plug into a car's OBD port? My car has no tach, and I'd rather not get into the mess of wiring up a tach through the steering column.
I bought a [url=http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Android-Torque-Car-ELM-327-OBD2-OBDII-Bluetooth-Diagnostic-Interface-CAN-BUS-/110761891151?pt=UK_Diagnostic_Tools_Equipment&hash=item19c9ec554f]cheapass bluetooth OBD2 dongle[/url] off ebay and paired it to my phone running [url=http://torque-bhp.com/]Torque[/url] - pretty cool because you can log all the data to a file, along with GPS location.
There's probably some arduino stuff out there two with LED bar graphs and stuff.
Okay, so, my blazer's engine has almost 250k miles on it. How much longer life am i looking at? It doesn't smoke and it's not hard to start, although as it warms up, it loses power. I know 350's aren't the longest lasting engines.
Had this for a year now, works pretty fine, useful to see knock retard and check codes.
Who ever designed the panels on 240's should get a smackdown. WHY NISSAN WHY MUST YOUR PANELS BE HARD TO REMOVE
The freaking bolts are way inside the front bumper, I have to remove the wheels first to reach them? [B]WHY I JUST WANT TO REMOVE THE PIGNOSE VENTS[/B]

My mom's 4runner is like that
Anything that isn't immediately accessible from opening the hood needs the wheels to come off in order to access it.
Thankfully we've only had to take the wheels off once, for the starter and some belt/tube replacements.
taking wheels off isn't even that much of a job really. 5 screws and take it off, Yeah you'll have to lift the car but generally if your doing work on your own car you have jack stands as well.
It is pretty gay that you have to take wheels off though. The worst I've seen is just having to turn the wheel all the way in one direction to reach bolts
[b]What really sucks[/b]
Some dickwad in the family decided to remove the pontiac's wheel jack and put in the garage with about 5 others. They don't have any numbers or stickers on them either. So i had to test each one and all but one were rated for shitty light cars cause they would collapse under the weight of the fucking heavy fuck. Luckily 3rd one was the acutal one or atleast can support it's weight long enough for me to remove or change a tire. Needed to lift it for just a minute or so to reafix the rock defector on the bottom.
or now I'm blacking out things. Going to black out using Plasti-Dip before I paint them a semi glass black.
Ran apon a pic of a AUDI S6.

How would I make mine look like that? I'm thinking Rino lining with high temp paint.
Any other Ideas?

Let me take a moment to express my urge to murder those who go to a car forum but don't know these simple facts:
1. Screws and bolts are different, as with nuts. Screws have a tapered point to drive itself into an object, bolts do not and are fit for a pre-threaded hole. Nuts are fasteners that attach to either of these.
2. Wheels and tires are two different things. Tires are rubber and are fitted around wheels. The wheel is the metal bit that the tire attaches to, NOT the tire itself. Sometimes the two are referred to together as a wheel, DON'T do that. It makes it confusing. A wheel and tire package should be called "a wheel and tire". Rim is slang for wheel. It can also be used to describe the bead of the wheel.
3. Turning over and starting are two different things. Turning over is when the engine spins, whether it starts or not after that is NOT related to "turning over". I have seen far too many people describe "Not starting" as "not turning over", when in reality it's turning over plenty but won't kick off.
That is all. Goodnight, Facepunch.

most of the pros do actually recommend 180/200/240sxes to start out, obviously the s13, because they're cheap to find parts for and there's alot of them.

I generally consider anything which you would use a screwdriver to remove a screw as a screw which used with a threaded hole I always understood the technical term for it to be a machine screw. There's also self-tapping bolts though. Torx bolts/screws are kind of a gray area on this but if I use a screwdriver it's a screw.
You generally don't consider a shopping cart wheel to just be the inner part of it right? The assembly as a whole is normally regarded as wheel. This is brought up a lot by a buddy of mine a lot so I personally stopped caring and regard the whole assembly a wheel, the inner a rim/wheel and the tire a tire. He insists that rims are only the big ass chrome ones but that seems stupid to me.
Yeah, definitely.

1. I've heard people refer to screws as "nails" before. :v:
2. In this case, I think I have to disagree. It's much easier to just say "remove the wheel" than "remove the wheel and tire". I think it's pretty obvious what he's referring to here, and there's not much in the way of confusion to be had.
3. Well, I never knew that. Good to know.

Unless the Corolla has some mad tyte jdm engine in it, its hard to make a car go sideways without proper reinforcing equipment.
AE86 have a lot of parts available, but they are getting to be quite rare today. S13's on the other hand, are plentiful in great condition and low mileage. Their parts are also quite abundant and there is a market of people that sell/trade parts for the car. But, even S13's are getting to be rare today as well

You don't unbolt the tire, though. You unbolt the wheel. It makes perfect sense to say "unbolt the wheel" when the studs (or sometimes bolts) are going through the wheel only.
I should mention my dad does have an impact wrench :v:
So yes, taking wheels off is pretty easy. We don't have any huge jacks though. Just the little ones you have in the trunk for when you have a flat and need to put your donut on.
Also, some clarification
The wheel is the whole assembly, but it can be broken up into pieces like the tire and rims, right?

Uhm.
Whats the best way to replace a door pin with one person. Im afraid that when I remove the bolt - the entire door will snap since there are only two bolts holding the damn thing to the car.

Just put a stool or a jack under the door when its open

Pad your jack and use it to hold the door up.
