I need a truck to borrow, so I can go buy a massive bottle of argon... or go see how big of a bottle I can jam in my civic. Those suckers are heavy though.

Re: SERIOUSLY OT: Calling all chicks! IT'S PART 6!!

Well I got the welder in from Sears and out of the box, and it was damaged. The control panel was crushed... so I took it back, and they're sending me a refund check in the mail.

I'm not going to be doing business with Sears anymore... the whole experience with purchasing this thing from them has been a nightmare.

I was kinda wandering why you were getting it through sears, but I thought they may have had a good deal. I hear the Eastwood ones are a good entry level welder. http://www.eastwood.com/welders/tig-welders.html

I wasn't buying entry level. I was buying light industrial production level.

I went to Sears because they had the welder I wanted on their website, and I had a bunch of Sears gift cards.

Also are there any roads in Dallas that are not in horrible condition? I've figured out that red lights are more of a suggestion than a rule... no one stops going through the intersection for a good 15 seconds after they turn red. And turning from the wrong lane seems to be in fashion here. Today I witnessed someone turn left from the right lane, across 3 other lanes of traffic that were going straight... They didn't even seem concerned or ashamed, just a "oh, I'm turning left, why are you honking at me?" reaction.

Driving in Dallas


You thought my spiked lug nuts were just for show?

Driving rules for Dallas.
1. Everyone is an enemy.
2. The speed limit is only a suggestion that will get you killed.
3. Don't let any other muthafuckers in front of you, because they'll slow you down.
4. Green lights: "Fucking GO!" Yellow lights: "Is there a camera?" Red lights: "Nope! Fucking GO!"
5. Proper etiquette for exiting the highway is to speed up and cut in front of whomever you need to, to get to the exit, but try not to slow anyone else down. The same can be applied to turning across lanes.

There's some crazy stuff here. It's why I finally broke down and got a dash cam.

Wish there were more photos of finished installs.

RoadKill (youtube show) has a project truck thats an old Datson with a GM V8 in the bed via an Olds Toronado transaxle. Looks like it would be fun stuff to drive.

Which dash cam did you get? I'd thought about getting one too, but some of them seem really cheap quality.

I'm now thinking of all the potential crazy Toyota engine/ car combos. Imagine a Corolla with a RWD or AWD conversion and a Supra engine... not crazy enough? How about a V8 Tercel?

The 2jz is the small block chevy of the import world.... anything it can be put it, it has been put in. Kinda getting boring at this point.

This is the video I showed the wife, and she was like "Yeah, do that!"

Also showed her this.

The one I got is the Falcon Zero F170HD+
Here's my initial voyage.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/HGw-Y9wXVcI

It does full 1080p resolution, but I had it turned down to 720p... The video looked better initially, but I think the Microsoft video editing software I was using to stitch the videos together and remove my actual speed reduced the quality of the final product.

Driftworks has an AE86 Corolla drift car with an LS7....
2JZ and 1JZ swaps have been shoved in everything. I work with an guy that has a 1JZGTTE in a Toyota Cressida... which is not too difficult, considering it came new with a 5MZ 2.8 liter inline6, almost exactly the same physical size as a JZ motor.
TE71 and older Corolla's (and Toyota pickups) have a short engine bay that makes the JZ series motors a bit long, unless you're willing to have part of it in the cabin with you or put a lot of weight out front.
The idea with using an V8, for me at least, has more to do with the over all length of the assembly, and not having to cut out as much of the firewall, and still be able to maintain some creature comforts like heat and A/C. A/C far more than heat, as I'm in Texas!

Still no bites on the V8 tercel idea? Come on... That would be hilarious.
