There is goat adding the educational process on DSM Central.
It is a sticker that novice drivers (visitors) put on their cars in Japan. It says that you are a road hazard that is used to driving on the left side of the road! -------------------- Fast & Furious on the outside...DSM under the hood!!!

QUOTE (spyonu2007 @ Jun 19 2006, 09:09 AM) That car is tits! Could you tell us about work you have done to it? Has any shop wrenches been turned on it? If so, good or bad experiences with said shop? travis did my shortblock swap for me.. other than some misquoting of prices.. it wasnt a bad experience.. my only complaint is that he logged the car while it was at his shop and didnt bother to tell me about my injectors and maf being maxed. when i logged it and then called him about it, he didnt mention chargepipe leaks but said that i just needed to install my supra pump and that would cure it. didnt quite make sense to me. but its ok.. he did the hard part for me, and thats what i really needed.. i had him swap it for me cuz we were so busy with work and i honestly didnt want the headache |

alot of people on dsmtalk said that bronze wheels wouldnt look good.. but i think the bronze looks good.. gunmetal would have been alright, but too close to the color of the paint.. black wouldnt have worked for me.. not on a dsm. if i was gonna run black on a dsm, i'd run steelies.
anyway, i had been wanting bronze and it was just luck that bretts wheels were bronze. the tires,for being all seasons, stuck pretty good at autocross but they were screaming most of the time anyway, the work i have done to the car is pretty basic.. most of it is preventative maintenance stuff. it has a rebuilt head, new oil pump, water pump, battery, timing belt, tensioner, pulleys, replaced 14b, ported 2g manifold, 144 intake, k&n, 3" turbo back exhaust, 90 oil cooler, rewired fuel pump, emissions delete. i ditched the mbc cuz the car is boosting 17-18psi on stock wastegate anyway, thanks for the compliments |
