    I spent the better part of the day undoing things. like I undid the rear quarter windows. That required that I undo the rear seat delete, undo the LJK, Undo the interior trim pieces… Not pictured is me straightening out that mess of cables, and removing the HD foil type insulation in favor of...

    the question is: How many junk cars can you put in your driveway before your neighbors start bitching, or the property values around your house start falling? For me,..that’s exactly 1 car.

    keep trying…Believe it or not, a lot of what is suggested or recommended is current in the Monster. Starting with the 2jz.

    I used to have the filter in the fender, but after getting caught in a torrential rainstorm, there’s no way I’m sticking any air intake in the same area that water spray from the tires would soak through the element. There’s room for a box in that corner, but that covers the fender skirt.. ( one...

    I get there yesterday to pick up my car, and he’s not done when I get there. He is fitting the rear glass film before installing it. They do this on the outside, and spend a fair amount of time heat shrinking it with its backing still on until they get it to fit right. Then they remove it, put...

    Looks like I was right. They cannot satisfactorily get the diamond shaped quarter glass tinted “ in place”. They want me to remove them and bring them in separately. This will require removing the entire rear seat delete, both interior quarter panel trim pieces, the 6-8 nuts that hold the...

    I don’t know if I should say anything for fear of jinxing it. But Tint guy is supposed to attempt the tint job today. I spoke with him at 9 and he said he’d be back in town at noon ( now). I told him I’d remove anything that he needed me to remove to make doing this easier, but he said that the...

    Thanks for that..I can’t see how I’ll be able to improve on it either, but I’m always trying to come up with something.

    Actually,…I’m still gonna veer into the other lane every now and then…especially when the oncoming car just needs a head on to put it back in ITS lane. But for now, I’ll just focus on going forward. And at one time it was 12-15 I was talking to, but because it’s today, and not 5 years ago… For...

    Trumpers…..what a disillusioned bunch. Disregarding every other reply that stated that the shortages of every freakin thing that are going on WORLD WIDE. That the US itself, or current administration can’t possibly take credit for, or get blamed for just the same…. Makes your last sentence get...

    I’d cut a notch in the fan shroud. As picky as you are, you should be able to make it fit perfectly.

    I’m not sure if you’ve had a power failure and need to have your clocks reset, but in NY,….most things are getting ready to go IN to hibernation, not come out of it.

    I’m guessing that you think Biden has global influence then ? That would be why BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Jag, Land Rover, and every other GLOBAL auto manufacturer isn’t producing anything either? Toyota closing down 40% of their production facilities…,( hint, Toyota is a Japanese company)...

    I’m gonna take one of the other 17x11’s and do a “ test paint” on the spokes with OTC wheel paint. If I hate it, thinner will wipe it off.

    Not gonna happen. They just called after discovering that they are 2 piece wheels. They said that air will somehow bubble up between the weld and foul the clear coat. “ What could possibly go wrong?”

    Oil choice

    bullsht. I wouldn't take any advice from anybody that still clings to conspiracy theory. Even when talking about oil. I just came from O reilly’s yesterday…My oil choices were alive and well..for everything from crude to full syn. Strange I know,…clearly the Biden effect hasn’t affected Alabama.
