  1. Okay thats completely true, Toyota to my knowledge always made great trucks. and still does from what I am told by people who have owned them. I am talking about cars. There is a lot of AE-86/supra/starlet/cressida/corolla stuff that is really REALLY badly designed. And yeah, all Toyota 4 cylinders are pretty bulletproof. But that argument can be made for Honda too and really even Nissan. I know that if you gave me 1989 or prior as a year to choose an engine, I wouldnt be going with a Toyota or a Honda though.
  2. This is my buddy Jamies car. It is built with all USDM components except the obvious stuff that is Honda, and the J's racing lip. And it is all built to go really stupidly fast without being rice. Rice means it is built to LOOK like its going fast. Maybe some of you whom are so critical of me will understand some of my outlook on tuning once watching this. I helped build this car. watch the Eibach CRZ build one next, also very sick. I know the guys at Hasport who built the car, very cool stuff, swapped a K series in it (which the car was designed for in the first place)
  3. You wouldnt rock an NSX? or an S2000? Or a real Integra Type R? Really? The Honda hate is getting mad old. There are just as many people in ricer Toyotas and Nissans now a days that are just as shitty if not worse. I love Honda, second only to Nissan for me, Much more than Toyota, Hondas and Nissan both are of higher quality in manufacture than Toyotas are.
  4. This is awesome man. I dream of a place with a shop like that with a lift in it.
  5. no, it says "bored out to 100 hp" even better. I only bore my pistons to 100 hp. EACH!!.
  6. Listening to a band like Toto makes you really depressed, because yo uknow that music like this will NEVER be made again in the mainstream.

      Lmao, I try not to be. But I own cassettes!!!. Not for hipsterish reasons though.

       

      But its true, bands like Toto had full artistic control over their music. Their albums were made with NO COMPRESSION!!. Nothing is done these days with no compression. And today its the producers and managers that have all the say. Theres not many Claptons, or Hendrixs, or Becks, or Pages these days. Not to say that their arent a few, but most of them arent in these wierd hipster b...

      who is this Hendrix you speak of?? Claytin? Isn't that a type of dish?

  7. Thanks man, it is shaping up really nicely.
  8. Thanks to Mhub91 and DatsunMotorSports, I have a bunch of new dash parts that came in the mail today, including an uncracked instrument and passenger dash pad, and instrument cluster bezel.
  9. oooooooooh yeah Any seat you mount in your car should be either OEM, or pass some kind of certification, like FIA for example. They should also not be like $300 a set, much more $$$$
  10. Ever cover something in real Alcantara? (not Microsuede, no they are not remotely the same)

  11. anyone ever mount BMW E30 Sport seats(recaros) in anything?

  12. What ever happened to that guy with the L31DETT? did that ever pan out? Anyone have pics?
  13. That is a beautiful Stanza, What motor is going in?
  14. +1, the worst part s the JZ is substantially inferior engine. and I am not being "nissan fanboy" in saying that. It is true. I love Toyota motors like the 3SG and the UZ. But, cheaper parts because driftcar.
  15. WOOOOOOOOW I am so jealous right now man!!!!! It is absolutely beautiful. How did you find that??? How much did yo pick it up for? And its a non diesel sunroof??? damn thats even rarer. In fact, I think the only two ways it could be rarer are if it was in my color, or if it was manual or leather. I worked out the rarest combo to be an 84' in blue mist metallic, with leather and manual and no sunroof. But that is like unicorn rare. If it even exists.
  16. My vietnamese neighbor told me that restoring cars is Phun.

  17. I would have an adapter plate made at HASPORT, and then mount it to a Getrag V160. I would use MegaSquirt III for tuning since it supports the variable cam timing adjustment. We could fit that in a C110 or C10, right?
  18. I need to start going to your guy........
