1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

when does the supercharger come?

 

Yes

 

12.5:1 compression. No supercharger. But cams soon


Cams with springs should net me 360hp to the wheels if all goes as the math says it should.

springs and cams will let me hit 8k rpm too…

 

Damn. Now I can see why it’s so fun.

 

The only gripe is the LSD. I may tear apart the transmission this year and flip the plates or just say screw it and buy a quaife helicol lsd. It’s nasty when you turn. Bang bang bang. Like driving a welded diff. But holy fuck it hooks even with 20 year old rotted tires

 

man I'd love that gen MR2. Always kinda liked them. Or an RX7. Or Supra....or just another fast car that can corner at speed.

 

the mr2 has that added fun of being able to hold stupid Gs for what it is.. till it doesnt.. then you find the nearest tree!!


but seriously even on these shit tires i have REALLY try to get it sideways

 

Wow. Capturing the true spirit of the 4age.

 

my mistake, 4 frame swaps. With all due respect......maniac x 2.

 

And a full on mr2 swap. Can’t forget that one.

 

To be fair, he's been saying he's going to do a few of those frame swaps since he joined (2019). Keeps acquiring more projects!

Dan you gotta finish one of these man. We need pictures.

 

well the 01 is constantly waiting on things from places out of my control, the 07 i just got the final parts to get it going, the 98 im waiting on the clutch and then it can get swaped and the 2002 is waiting for weather to play nice so i can sandblast and paint its new frame.


things still happening. covid ruined getting the 01 done in 2020. then the other 2 trucks (98 and 02) came into the picture. the 95 just needs minor body work that i'll get done in the spring



yall just dont see the flip car things i do. i dont post much about those cars.

 

and 2019? shit i only had the tundra 01 taco avalon and corolla..


2021 i bought the 02 98 and 95. 2022 i bought the 07 and wrecked 01. i think im making ok progress.


the mercedes i picked up in 2020.. its just been trying to find parts... not easy.

 

Dude here wrenches out of a 1GT. 5SPD, 4X4. Basically doing what I wanna do...

Oh, forgot about these. Center cap vinyl. Any takers?

 

I'm thoroughly loving this. Here's the part 2 video if anyone is interested in what they did after.

Cool find. It made me laugh when he used a bucket of creek water. What state does he live in?

 

Okay, so in '19 you ONLY had 4 vehicles. It's all good and just know that I'm only bustin yer balls. However, (just to try n reel you back into reality here) 4 vehicles is ALOT for 1 (normal) person. The majority of legally driving society own a single car. Then there are some that also have a company vehicle or a 2nd of their own. Very few own 3 vehicles. motorcycles don't countI have 5. But you're not alone Danimal. No no no...The guy that lives directly across the street from me actually owns 17, and they're on several different properties throughout the city. He keeps the 2 old studebakers, the General Lee, and his daily Benz SUV at home. Oh and a boxtruck for his painting business

I had a buddy in high school that got that same car but a lighter turquoise, handed down from his grandma. Drove like a boat and had bouncy white leather seats and a huge ass steering wheel and a huge ass trunk. Really cool car

 

i really want to drive that merc. seems like a fun little cruiser it could be.


but yes i have many vehicles. the key is, they dont owe me anything. and they keep my occupied. without the cars.. i aint got much to do. LOL

 

I appreciate what you do man, truly. I cringed when you first posted about the tundra driver door. Were you able to straighten out that pillar/jamb?

 

close enough. BUT its not perfect... waiting on the body shop to open up. kinda hoping its soon.. because tundra out of the garage means i could do the 98 tacoma sooner.

 

I got confused for a sec, I sometimes bounce messages & forth with @Danimal86 and was, like, "Wait - who are we talking to?"

Also, gotta say, I'm a little jealous. Before moving to ATL, and even a few years in, I was accustomed to having at least 2 cars, if not 3, at any given time. One of the downsides to living in the city is, I just don't have room for all that now. If the city would come in to pre-cast pipe and and cement in the damn ditch behind my house so I could put a parking pad back there, as much as it pains me to say it, I'd probably have a boat back there vs. another vehicle, though. Unless it can tow a boat

 

Alright y'all, I've got $10 free at Advance Auto Parts, what should I buy?

NOTE: I already have extra MAF & carb cleaner, plenty of Seafoam, brake fluid, coolant, ATF and oil. Actually maybe I should get fluids to drain/fill my diffs eh? But that means I need to go look up how much is required to fill both. I'm lazy.

Anything else y'all can think of?

​

 

what did i miss?

 

(Not much)

 

Could always use another can of blinker fluid. Just have to get the left handed opener to go with it.

 

MMO. Or something from the 'custom aftermarket parts aisle. Like a chrome license plate bracket with skulls on it.

 

One of those glass breaker punches.

 

Do we have any DIY tile guys in here?

 

Zip-ties.
