I do kinda agree with that, vodka ain't too great.

Heresy. 

 

Absolutely disgusting.

 

Also, RIP money.

 

 

Don't knock it until you try it. Actually way better than you would ever expect

 

But then again mixed drinks still aren't even close to being my thing.

 

Keep it simple, Jack Daniels.

I dunno if I can have JD. I just stick to Titos cause its actually gluten free and not "distilled out". Fitting enough, but all I really drink is screwdrivers.

service manual:

 

"replace vehicle"

Or do not buy any electric or hybrid vehicle... They do not have any advantage over conventional IC cars. (And dont even start the green crap, i dont care.)

 

@terrytek

Change that fluid, its better to keep the factory intervals, or shorter if you want to... In my case my bike(gsf600s) has a 6000km oil change cycle(filter+oil) but i change the oil every 3000km... (passive air-oil cooled engine)

Torque, and easy to spot in the parking lot.

 

"hey man where did you park"

That little extra torque do not worth the price bump(and later the service costs[battery, etc]). Just buy a car with a decent sized engine...

An combustion engine can't compete with the off the line torque of a EM.

 

Electric cars are still very new. Battery tech needs to improve before I will personally look at them.

And EV's cant compete with the range and "recharge" speed(even with the fast charge which is damaging the battery) of an IC car. Currently hybrids and EV's are nothing more than expensive toys...

 

@vinyldash303

And how if you need a loan that is for a longer period? Maybe changing car every 3 years is normal for you, but in my country we  cant even get a new car with the ~500€ monthly wage. I bought all of my motorcycle's used for instance...

The entire thought of it sounds appalling. I'm not a fan of vodka as-is and don't like my chocolate milk being messed with.

Starting to realize how much money I'm going to end up dumping into my MR2

 

New exhaust system, maybe some nice ITBs from a silvertop, maybe swap out the trans for something stronger like a C56, still need to get speakers and a sub....

 

I think the first thing I'm going to do is fix my rough idle, and then weld in a custom catless exhaust. I'm tempted to just unbolt the old one for now since it's just dead weight at this point. Not sure how loud or annoying it will be though.

Remember me talking about how my sisters boyfriend was casually handed a Mustang? He already broke the mirror off pulling out of the garage at his own house, and he's got a huge crack in the front bumper. Funny thing is he won't have to pay for repairs either. Rich people piss me off so much. 

[RevoltTrain]

On a lighter note. Galaxy S7 takes some pretty damn good photos. 

 

The lighting was just too good. Couldn't help myself. 

 

I'd love a few opinions from the true photographers here, this is just the S7 on auto everything with HDR enabled. Any tips? (Second photo is a little more crooked than I'd like, but other than that I'd love to hear what you all think)

@MEC-777 I think the figurine scale is a little bit off, but given this is a relatively rare cast I'll let it slide.

You will kill your synchro if you continue to run that fluid. It was 30 degrees this morning and my transmission was still smooth. 

seriously? thats how bad matters can get if i keep using that fluid?

I'd change it. Next time you do an oil change, take a sample of the oil and put it in a clear jar with a lid, and get another jar and put the same amount of new oil in it. You want the about a third of the way full. Then go put them in the freezer for 30 min. Take them out and flip them upside down. You'll see how much of a difference there is. Thats essentially whats going on with your tranny fluid. You should change it. I call bullshit on the 500k service life. 

what does it look like side by side? i don't have jars i'm willing to sacrifice to test that. and i also call bullshit on the 500k mile service life, because i'm sure even the car can't last that long.

uhh yeah. A synchro is essentially a metal on metal clutch fluid clutch. The more time you fight it, the more time its creating friction and wearing.

Here's some daylight pics of the dent. Think I could pull it out with one of those suction cup things? 

 

 

Yank it out with a go pro mount mate, that's usually what i do when I ding trees in the 4wd.

 

EDIT: god dammit, stupid forum not taking me to the last page again...sorry for the revival lol

Remember that $250 1988 Toyota truck Matt was talking about yesterday? He just sent me this:

 

he got the transfer case but he said the engine there was completely rusted inside and out (it was apart I assume) so he didn't bother with it. 

 

So $250 chassis essentially. Has steering rack, a dashboard, brake lines and stuff, along with a few other things. He said the frame was straight and wasn't rusty. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Not sure what to think lol. Guess we'll have a crazy project soon, gonna be fun to put this on a resume

gives you an excuse to swap in a 5vz lol. i say try to find one out of a wrecked 4runner/taco or find one already pulled on craigslist or at a junkyard. but jeez, i would get rid of the gmc/chevy rims and put some good ones. tbh they look shit. but i can't wait to see what you guys do with this one.

Ok plastic tupperwear with a lid?

 

on my 3K oil changes theres a noticable difference in the time it takes for the old oil to run down to the bottom of a jar. You can tell how much thicker the oil is after its been used even for such a short time. 

no, all my tupperware is too valuable to sacrifice too. 

 

you realize i'm talking about transmission fluid? i'm pretty aware that old engine oil is much thicker than fresh oil.

@vetali what's that 2.7L i4 engine code you mentioned?

Bolting a transmission to the LS is kind of out of our league tho... Like how do you even? Lol

 

also the trans might be too weak for that

 

and if you change the transmission to something else how do you deal with the shift linkage and all that?!

4l60es are common and dirt cheap and easy to rebuild. I wouldn't put a t56 to that... lol.

See my edit about shift linkage

And no to 4l60e.. Need proper manual
