  1. so he told all his pupils why his wife left him.... you are full of shit
    18
  2. good choice- V6 camrys are the shit- right? and you might be able to still get parts for it in 10 or 15 years.....
    14
  3. they were designed to negotiate sand and loose dirt- people ignore that and thats why they were outlawed....

  4.  @BrendenRoughley  not to mention how pre-cats burn valves, warp cylinder heads and even warp aluminum blocks. first clue is usually a blown head gasket.

  5. 225hp tops with a stock motor and holley/V65 manifold fuel system. that's after the valve timing is corrected- a MUST for these motors. your figures are patently false. the pond racer motors made 1000hp and that was with two-stage boosting and crazy fuel & compression. i've built many VG 510 sedans and if you are willing to go with solid lifters, modded rockers, and billet race cams you can get close to 300hp ON PUMP FUEL, but its not very civilized. we usually stuck with bill good cam profiles on the nismo billets and kept the hydraulic lifters. about 250hp with a proper exhaust system and 690 cfm modded 2300 holley carb, but its all motor and its right there off idle. incredible torque & power band for a N/A 3.0 litre motor.

  6.  @mescko  good luck finding a VG33 block that is within snot for building a hot motor. i tried to get one checked out for a client and the shop said it needed align-boring (main saddles) AND decked back to square. 3 blocks- same story- and no guarantees on any bearing wear. the japanese-made blocks i have used all checked out OK (first time) and thats all i will use and guarantee. boring a VG block (91MM) TO 93MM is risky and a good way to end up with an ash can full of expensive junk. those are cast cranks and can take everything out under failure at high speed- just not worth it to swap used parts unless you know what you are doing. used pistons have to be thoroughly media-blasted, inspected and dye-checked for cracks/trouble spots. new pistons for a VH45DE cost over $740 for 6 pieces- VG pistons much cheaper. why gamble by putting both pistons AND block at risk for failure? the best way to get torque from a VG30 4WD WD21 pathfinder would have been to order JWT's VG30 supercharger kit and bolt the damn thing on. 60 more hp and 100+ more lbs./ft. done.

  7.  @jonathanrigley981  too bad cuz the 88's and 89's are the turbos to have if you care about performance and reliability. the rear-ends in those cars are a 510/610 guy's dream-come-true.

  8. i showed your post to a couple of recyclers here in the san diego area and they just laughed at it. the yards who go thru the trouble of cleaning the catalyst just do it with a chop saw and dump out the pellets or slide the matrix out in two or more pieces, takes about 30 seconds. further cleaning/separation on a small scale is pointless cuz they don't lose enough money to justify it. the platinum is valuble- the tiny amounts of silver or rhodium are paid out like mixed- next to worthless. the gold bars got the biggest laugh.

  9. i've heard of falling in love with a car but thats ridiculous
    3
  10. BS- they bought daihatsu because they couldn't figure out how to build a reliable motor. the toyota daihatsus are even more reliable to this day.....
    3
  11. thats nonsense
    3
  12. but then again- to many people, it's just another car. i've never really tried to understand the public perception of ferraris- i've always looked at them as items of form and function, and as rolling artwork that can be driven. they are like california real estate- if you bought it a long time ago, you were lucky and got in cheap....
    2
  13. don't worry- he'll remind you later
    2
  14. about 25 bucks for a single-wire unit
    2
  15. known as a groiner- most people do it on the dominant-leg side. ouch for quite a while.
    2
  16. who were you fighting with- the taxi companies??
    2
  17. a doberman would work better- as long as you can train it to leave the cats alone- hardy har har
    2
  18. aww, your comment got a little heart on it.
    2
  19. now, if only the a/c was that easy...
    2
  20. whole different car. the original L16 made more power than that- with only four spark plugs.
    2
  21.  abbsnn cose  wow- way overdue. you need to rip that thing down and let us know what you find.
    2
  22. that may be where i'll have to go to find one.... are there cute wives there, too??
    2
  23. in the news, i saw a thief got pinned under a lowered prius somewhere near LA- maybe UR onto something....
    2
  24. my older brothers saw that tank truck in my hand and they would run for cover cuz they knew what was next
    2
  25. you can make your own now- thanks to DNA and Tamiya paints.
    2
  26. no, they'll steal the whole dodge ram just to get that 24-valve cummins- happens all the time.
    2
  27.  @josephcottone9613  the engines were NOT the reason for the incident- do your homework
    2
  28. a test pipe would make a lot more sense.
    2
  29. IF they steal the truck, at least you'll hear which direction they took off in.....
    2
  30. the pl-510 never came from the factory with the L18 engine- not in ANY market. this rumor was started when the SCCA started allowing L18s in the B sedan 510s in '76
    2
  31. almost as many lemons WERE selected, it seems....
    2
  32. its a good thing studebaker came out with that one, right??
    2
  33. won't even notice it
    1
  34. 63 and still collecting- haven't gotten around to growing up yet- not so fast.
    1
  35. in eastern europe they still build trabants, too. decisions- decisions.
    1
  36.  @JordonPatrickMears11211988  the complaint is that the car does not offer a true independent suspension while many cars costing thousands less DO offer independent suspensions. that is a big problem when youre in the business of selling cars.
    1
  37. not here in cali- you still see lots of em in glamis- just cant buy a new one
    1
  38. the plastic ones are all over the place
    1
  39. unless you were a big 12-year-old- you were too light to ride a 200 or 250
    1
  40. pl510s were around before there was a 210 (B310) or 310 (N10). misinformation. the first 210s and 310s were non-USA models.
    1
  41. youre a little bit late- it was disguised as a GT-R
    1
  42. sounds like a great neighborhood- how are the schools??
    1
  43. well, he didn't say dad didn't have to put a nickel into it- he just said it ran like a champ (plymouth champ??) after 500,000 miles.
    1
  44.  @dylangrewell2351  not unusual at all- it costs more to get the vehicle thru the warranty period than the automatics- thanks to Our Great American Driving Habits.
    1
  45.  @droman608  more like 'increased warranty expenses' from previous experience. all it takes is one idiot who doesn't understand how a clutch works.
    1
  46. your intellectual age doesn't count...
    1
  47. do you have any of your natural teeth left??
    1
  48. not funny at all- in fact, those are very good filters.
    1
  49. muk- when i was little, all we had were the xke jaguars. they were cool, but there was a lot more oil and transmission fluid on the road back then.
    1
  50. funny comment- a vid would be priceless
    1
  51. actually safer than street riding in california
    1
  52. thats the beginning of the end
    1
  53. yeah- who wants to invest in a HOUSE?
    1
  54. fel-pro
    1
  55. they would dust a dirt bike on sand unless you had a fat cat or similar two-wheeler.
    1
  56. what about the aspen/volare?
    1
  57. lemme do it- TWEAKERS
    1
  58. now, if VW would just make a car that lies about its mileage.
    1
  59. Daihatsu (scions) is a great car. i had a 92 charade that went 333k all original. i put a rebuilt optima battery in her when i got her and now have that battery in my '12 sentra. the old blue-tops are awesome!
    1
  60. what is a 'farm trike'?
    1
  61. i LOVE z CARS, TOO. when we come across one in the junkyard, there's usually something there we want for our 510's.....
    1
  62. YEAH- amazed that it didn't save pontiac's bacon!
    1
  63. then the taxi driver got his car back
    1
  64. ...and then you wake up and it sounds like an old saab
    1
  65. i got my big bear scrambler when i was 16 but before i had a license. i used to sneak out on the road and smoke dudes in cars then go off-road and disappear into the woods. hitting second gear with my chin on the speedo trying to keep it on two wheels- fun stuff.
    1
  66. were you yelling "TAXI!"?
    1
  67. i have a couple of the mcdonalds color-changers, but they stopped changing color years ago.
    1
  68. it would helped if they would have actually built a quantity of them
    1
  69. they had tricycles you steered like that- remember those things? they were called x-15s? they had rear-steer....
    1
  70. that would be fun to do a clutch on.
    1
  71. built by daihatsu.
    1
  72. novartis once said "the best way to sell drugs is to invent sicknesses"
    1
  73. how original
    1
  74.  @alangil40  in the 510 sedans i've built for the stoplights, i've had a lot more problems with the twin-turbos than with any 5.0 mustangs. the numbers on the VG30DETT engine are false and actually are higher.
    1
  75. tomicas, in comparison, are built like a brick shithouse
    1
  76. theyre the fastest way on three wheels in the sand- theyre made to be ridden- not aimed like a car or boat.
    1
  77. how the hell would he know?
    1
  78. pull that crap off of there and find a 71-72 fuel system for it. check the engine stroke by removing a spark plug and turning the motor by hand and measuring with a slim dowel how far the stroke is. if it has a stroker crank in there (L24=73.7mm L26/L28=79mm STROKER=83MM) you want to know what you have. the stroker crank is worth a GRIP. If you need parts or advice on setting the carbs for the 2.8 (check it with the dowel trick) the guys at Z therapy are knowledgeable on this matter. good old car that was cursed by its abortion of a fuel system.
    1
  79. thats the worst- using poor judgement with a kid on board. i wouldn't even do that in the deep sand.
    1
  80. and thats why we can't buy them anymore...
    1
  81. get those at wal-mart?
    1
  82. so bad you hardy see them anymore
    1
  83. better late than never! i became a propeller airman at 30- most fun i ever had on the job. the best part was telling airframe & power plant techs they were forbidden by the FAA to mess with their props- job security!
    1
  84. i know of a junkyard thats full of your dead legends.
    1
  85. well a real underestimation of the japanese automotive engineers, especially after WE took all their existing tech and tooling after Surrender and very little credit to the retooling and restructuring of the JDM and basically all their steel making and heavy industries at the hands of the US. all state-of-the-art stuff that was well in place by the 50's- but they were using all-new machines and methods. prince also did their share of copying designs and systems from the european and domestic auto makers, as well. as a former SCCA fab tech, i agree the SRL/SPL311 cars were but holdovers from earlier years and the newer cars like the S30 and 510, 610, 710, 200SX, etc. seem lightyears ahead of the full-frame roadsters and sedans of the 50's and 60's. a good read- thanks for posting it.
    1
  86.  @Antosz20000  yeah, it sucks- don't come here!
    1
  87. most warranty work ever....
    1
  88. comes with a lifetime supply of hide food.
    1
  89. you can tow it with a 64 impala- which would be worth more than the SS
    1
  90. thats because everybody and their brother would wait for those STI test drivers and smoked them proper once they got away from the store. #1 target for guys with motor-swap cars.
    1
  91. they are typically hacksawed off the car- that means they are as useless as your comment
    1
  92. if you bought more than one- wouldn't they then be 'hotwheels'??
    1
  93. worth at least 5 bucks now
    1
  94. or move out of the ghetto
    1
  95. dunes are way more fun, but you want to use a small one with a motor swap for screwing around and playing games.
    1
  96.  @fatpad00  also significantly slower- with a pair of drive wheels the conventional trike would smoke the single-rear wheel trike on sand or dirt- maybe even pavement, too. i wouldn't recommend using it on pavement- not what flotation tires are designed for....motorcycles have a lot more caster built in to the steerer tube.
    1
  97. not really- there were plenty of issues with the 350's. people who waited for the later 370's ended up with a much better car that didn't eat tires.....
    1
  98. i'd rather have the randy kind...
    1
  99. oh, yeah, they called and said your versa was ready!
    1
  100. i had a two-stroke yamaha big bear with paddles front and back- that was fun. heavy- but fun.
    1
  101.  @fabulousprofound  oh, they'll stop selling the mustangs, too, give it a little time. this electric mustang will urge things in that direction a little more quickly.
    1
  102. see what can happen if you don't read the book first?
    1
  103.  @williamlittrell2271  ..and a lifetime discount at the local tire store??
    1
  104.  @mazinkaiser4941  wrong- datsun already offered a 1970 fairlady and she was a ragtop.
    1
  105. OMG-your kidding!
    1
  106.  @Betterthanyou-s4t  sounds fun, but riding on flotations down a paved strip is insane.
    1
  107. no, the vehicles were cooler- domestic-built muscle cars- who wants a toy airport crash tender??
    1
  108. don't forget the early CTS-Vs
    1
  109. with the aftermarket ferrari GTO body kit
    1
  110. ...and getting paid for it- that would make it awesome.
    1
  111. only one wind box on the center of the head........ wow something got lost in the translation. what the hell does that mean?
    1
  112.  @missioncreekstyle3814  please- my daihatsu charade 1.3 4-cyl. could SMOKE that thing. Z32's are great cars- that makes up for your 411 brainfart
    1
  113. working your way up to a trabant??
    1
  114. the best single mod i've seen are short nerfs that keep feet away from the rear tires- very popular for kids on the 50s in sand.
    1
  115.  @MrTheHillfolk  it only has one fork
    1
  116. another reason why we can't buy them
    1
  117. get rid of that toyota before they pull the plug on your parts, too.
    1
  118. just like a good stoplight car- torque is king
    1
  119.  @Viper3048  both cars were/are loss-leaders.
    1
  120. got it back from where? did the repo man come to see you?
    1
  121. they lost their asses on them- why on earth would they do that??
    1
  122. i had an 81 coupe 2-seater GL auto. really good car- i wouldn't want to have to restore one, though. mine was 11 years old, 1-owner, and nice. sold her a long time ago to buy a dime (the car- not a bag of weed)
    1
  123. you must have been a big kid...
    1
  124. here in the state teachers are paid in cash
    1
  125. the harder the surface- the more tire pressure you need- simple physics. following the directions can help, too. they don't do that in the sand- a lot safer in the sand.
    1
  126. accidently shot by claudine longet
    1
  127. at least the driveshafts aren't falling out of the final drive unit- way to go, ford
    1
  128. junkies?? you've been watching too many episodes of beretta...
    1
  129. next to pavement, thats the worst terrain you can ride on.
    1
  130. looks like youre going to be doing a lot of flipping
    1
  131. there's no such thing
    1
  132. KASH FOR KLUNKERS
    1
  133. they weren't designed for trails- just for sand or loose dirt
    1
  134. you found out the hard way what they were really designed for- and it wasn't trails.
    1
  135. also severe service for taxi....
    1
  136. ps- only if it's the 3-door hatchback
    1
  137. just go down unda, mate. they are like rats there.
    1
  138.  @nickenomics  have fun with that on the bender....
    1
  139. great- making friends worldwide....
    1
  140. me too- because my parents told me to when we moved to cali. they are both gone, now, but i have money because of them. always do what your mom says!
    1
  141. that's true of just about anything new on the road.... the one-piece toyota front-ends are butt-ugly.
    1
  142. those were the worst when you tried to straighten them
    1
  143. its a big word...
    1
  144. its kinda like an ice boat- right?
    1
  145. at least it didn't start a wildfire- would you just sit there and watch that, too??
    1
  146. you mean 'most idiots'
    1
  147. i hope i see you in my 510....you'll regret it then.
    1
  148. plus theyre better for throwing at your older brothers- doing more damage
