    Toyota halts production on 8 models....

    This is the talk section, so we do let a certain amount of OT stuff go on. Anything that truthful that degrades another car-maker is usually ok LOL

    Mutha Thumpr's installed - Tune vs. Chip

    People don't really "chip" cars anymore. Especially with the SCT and Diablo tuners being available. It's much better to have these custom tunes done, where you can change tunes on the fly, as well as datalog and get CEL information. My drag tires are 2" shorter than my daily tires. It's really...

    I heard Toyotas are unstoppable.

    Whats mods to dip into the 12's with street tires?

    Definitely not. 4.10's, intake, tune, and lower control arms will get you close. If you're a great driver, you might dip into the 12's. You'd definitely be there with those mods and drag radials.

    Problem with B_m_ch_ps

    Again, I'll ask. Have you called him? You sent two emails then filed a PayPal dispute (which is pretty stand-offish for not having had a conversation with the guy). He's not an eBay punk. He runs an established and well-trusted business. I'm not sticking up for him on the turn-around. There's...

    Problem with B_m_ch_ps

    I've never had any problems with Bamachips at all and Doug has always proved to be a stand-up guy. He does do most of the work himself, so in the recent year or two, his turnaround has gotten slower as business has increased, but your timeline is well beyond what would be accepted. I noticed you...

    question on winter driving

    Yup. It CAN be done. But if you have any option for driving something else, do it. Especially if you plan on modding. It's *fun* to mod when all the nuts and bolts are rusted/corroded together.

    Do any of you find yourselves wanting an s197?

    OMG I remember posting in 4.6 and 5.0 when I first got my first S197. I was a sinner! I still love the older ones, but I wouldn't trade mine for one (well, I'd trade for a Termi or late 60's, early 70 model, but that's it)

    Is a 05 GT 5spd faster than a 99 cobra????

    Testing had the 99 Cobra at 13.9 and the '05 GT at 13.5. Different testers and conditions, but both pro's. It'd probably be a driver's race.

    Does anyone have 18x10's and isn't lowered?

    If you don't want to lower, you can go with a taller tire out back to compensate for the lack of drop. 295/45/18 will fit the 18x10 and really help fill up the wheel well.

    question on winter driving

    I'm not driving around in anything nice. I have a '86 F150 I bought for $500 and a '96 Contour I got for free. But it's worth it to keep my Mustang in tip top shape. Instead of paying for snow tires I bought a beater. And the best part is, if someone hits me, I don't really give a crap. I will...

    question on winter driving

    I'd prefer not to drive mine in the snow, especially with the chin spoiler. I get enough paint chips as it is. I don't need stuff getting ripped off. And I don't trust other drivers not to plow into it. It is true, that as long as you was the car frequently, paying attention to getting the...

    I'm a finalist!! HELP ME WIN!!!

    It's a tribute car to Barricade, the Saleen Mustang featured in the first Transformers movie. I believe his was the first real tribute car and definitely the nicest. Haven't seen it since you got the pushbar. Looking good.

    Hey, what do y'all think of this?

    The problem is the recess that the 2010+ GT500 has for the 3rd brake light. It would require VERY tricky vinyl work.

    Can't post/make threads here with Firefox

    Hrm.. I dunno. Working find for me. I say export all your bookmarks and such, fully remove Firefox, and reinstall. Otherwise, make sure you haven't added and scripts or add-ons that are causing a confusion. Maybe try disabling all add-ons before reinstalling.

    Hey, what do y'all think of this?

    The stripe combination looks hideous from the back. It's not as bad from the front, however, but I still wouldn't buy it.

    Anyone see 2011 GTs having problems?

    Not sure, but if they keep true to previous models, it should be good. I really haven't looked at the rumors or anything running around yet, but if I had to guess, I'd say either a 5.4 or 5.8 pushing about 500HP NA, suspension upgrades, and a nice styling package.
