Lol, don't worry about that. It's a built auto, the White Supra I have right now has a Boostlogic Built Auto. They are basically Drag Transmissions, and are a plus when it comes to Supras. A STC Built Auto is definitely not a catch in this case. I would prefer a 6-spd, and it would be worth more with one, but right now, this car is still a 30k car in my eyes...

@Guff

If you have courage, do a big HP Mk3 with a 7M.

I dare you.

I see, and it's listed for 20k. So that explains it-- you're looking for the missing 10k.

Do you think you're gonna pull the trigger on it, or do you do quite a lot of 'window shopping?'

Based on the number of cars he posts in this thread alone, he's definitely a window shopper.

The Atom is on my list of cars I want to drive. The sheer craziness that is the Atom is mind blowing. Oh and ever time I hear/see and Atom, I can't help but think of the Top Gear episode...

Yeah, I do LOTS of window shopping. Life of a wheeler dealer, I suppose. My brothers and I are always sending each other links of potential projects.

This car looks like a solid deal though. It might be in the stable soon, who knows...

Long stroke 5M, like a JDM 6M?

Or a 24v head on a 5M?

Weirdness...

My buddy's car. I've made a few little parts for this car, (spacers and hose supports) but the bastard never thanked me in the article. Heh...

I double dare you.

wrxgoose · 01-27-2013, 04:13 AM

video games have saved my life.

if i hadn't played so many racing games growing up, i wouldn't have been able to react as quicky as i had when the tail end kicked out on me. hit a patch of salt from the other day when we had a "winter storm." yes, i had all nannies on.

edit: and how the hell can i get my head unit to stop restarting the song whenever it gets interupted. if the phone rings? RESTART SONG! song almost over when i turn off the car then start it back up? RESTART SONG!

You might want to write this down for the future:

"I used to be able to eat a large pizza, then I took a clog to an artery."
