  1. What??? An SC? Ok, your entitled to your opinion. And I am not saying that you are wrong. But quite frankly, I just don't quite know where the SC now fits in the food chain. I mean the older body style SC looked way nicer to me than the shorty they have now. And the fact that it's a 2 seater, but is rather large for a 2 seater, and the handling is very quirky imho. The new ISF is more like a modern day hot rod I think. Even though I'm not that huge a fan of the new body style of the IS, the ISF does look much better with the wider stance, body kit, lower ride, larger rims and Brembo stoppers. The front bumper is a little over done, but they're trying to make a statement. The best new body style is the GS, and the LS. I saw a write up on the GS-F coming if the IS-F sells well.

  3. Yeah, I think that is the fairest way don't you? But we should have the format all squared away so you can explain how to enroll, the rules, and how they are judged, who does the judging, and all that. I will work on it with you if you want. And then we can just get it approved and put up as a sticky. But, it's a commitment, so I guess you'll need to make sure you wanna do this for real first.

    Right, the left turn lane blockers, and so " I'm just not paying attention to you needing intothat lane, and yes, I could pull up quite easily to let you by, but I like being a jerk, so,,,,, Oh?!, did you need to get by?" And even when the light turns green for them, it's like they even take a few extra moments to find the gas pedal too. I call that the" I'm so miserable, I want others to be miserable also." attitude.
  10. I'm especially lovin the front liscence plate!!!! Lookin pretty sick Flop. B)
  11. I guess this a no go again,,,,,
  12. Florida here. Orlando. And we are having a big meet on Jan. 19th.
  13. Nice lookin IS!! I see you changed the grill from the third to the fourth pic. Is that a mesh grill?
  14. Yeah man,,,,,Looks great!!! I can't tell from the angle of the pics, but are these after you lowered it?
  15. Only cause we know about the GTE motors. ;)
  16. And about 19 hours from Orlando.
  17. Ok I will byte what did you learn about Maguier's? If I am using something bad I want to know Well, while this is not an officially sanctioned test, I did this in my garage for myself. http://www.ffcobra.com/magazine/waxtest.html I now no longer use Maguires.
  18. Yeah, that's cool. A twin turbo compact truck!! :) And they only want $5500.00 for it? I see it has 200000 miles on it? But not the new GTE I'm sure. And they said they are coming out with some GTE conversion kits??? Hmm, I was thinking about going in that direction, but was opting to just build a 2JZGE motor on the bench and so a swap next year. But I want a 2JZGTE if I can figure out how to solve all the issues alot of others get into.
  19. I click on the link and I get "page not available". I wanna see.
  20. LOL!! ROTFLMFAO!!!!!! I had a freind do mine for me. As he owes me about Kajillion dollars and untold amounts of favors, He so graciuosly did my rotors for me. ( Of course he took his sweet a$$ time doin it, but that's another topic.) Atleast they got done, and all four came back. ( Yeah, I actually gave him 4 rotors before and he came back 3 weeks later with 3 rotors. I said wheres the other one? And he says " What other one? " Yeah, like I only ever gave you 3 in the first place!!! Come on!!) So anyway, that's how I got mine done. And actually, for the most part, my friend allways takes care of my pc needs. He allways offers, and he does come thru for me. I shouldn't give him a hard time. So for you my good friend, I would go in the kitchen, poor a tall cold one, crack open the phone book, turn to Powder coating, and find a place that is close. I couldn't even tell you how much it would be. I imagine under a hundred though.
  21. woa woah woah woah...woah.....woah..... lois.... this isn't my batman cup! no but really what you mean powder coat the rotors.... like all of it??? i'm confused... cuz when i was painting my calipers i got sum brake cleaner on the part of the rotor that touches the wheel... and the paint came off.... is that what you got powder coated????? Hahahaha,,LOL!! Flop, Flopster,,,,Floppy my boy,,,,,Flop-ola,,,,flippy flop,,,flopmeiser. :) You essentially have two parts to the rotor. There is the disc itself that the calipers squeeze for braking. Then you have the rotor hub. I powder coated the rotor hub. Hence, no more rust around there, and along the inside edge where the caliper doesn't touch the disc. Looks good too. the stock paint is like a flat black. I now have a gloss black there. I likey!!!!! :) :) :)
  22. Well, I keep looking at this body kit I found, and well, I think I'm gonna get the side skirts from this kit, and go with the Visage front lip, and then keep looking for a rear lip, or full bumper. Then later put a splitter on the front also. ( I saw this splitter that I want soooooo bad, but I couldn't find out who made it. But atleast I know what I want there so when I do find it, IT TOO, SHALL BE MINE!!! Bwahahahahah!!! Anyway, I just got my brake rotors back, I had them powder coated black, so no rust lines anymore.!! So, next week maybe, I'll put those on, refinish the new brake calipers, and then wahlah!! finito wito the brako's!!

    Road Rage

    Ok, here is another peave of mine. I'm really getting sick and tired of the red light runners. I mean, they aren't even trying to go when it's pink anymore, I watch the light turn red, and then 3,4,5 cars still go!! What is up with people anymore? Where are they going that is so important as to ruin lives over a red light? And if your coming thru the intersection and blow your horn at em??? they look at you and start cursing??? Like you'r the one in the wrong!!! I know there is this light that everyone turns left thru the red light. So, when I'm coming in the other direction in the Nissan, as soon as the light turns green I jump out there and I can usually cross to the middle of the intersection before the red light runners can cover that ground, and so they get trapped in the middle of the intersection. So, I get a small reprieve and grin at em as they look around for what to do now. Is that wrong of me?
