1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Be sure to test that all three LED light up before you close up the dash

At least, if you're using LEDs with polarity, which seem to be more common than not still. Nothing sucks worse than buttoning things all up, then realizing you installed one backwards and it won't light up!

 

If the SC400.came in manual flavor, I'd be buying this car tomorrow!
But I have seen people bolt up the manual from the SC300 to the 1UZ.

 

Maybe I’m missing something but is there a reason RA only sells a “Left” CAPA certified headlight housing from DEPO and not a right..? They just out of stock at the moment?

 

The SC 400 did come in manual. E-40 had one.

I bought a flame kit from Hot Licks Exhaust about 20 years ago. I never did get it to work.

My buddy got a flamethrower for his birthday a couple months ago. I got to use it last week. It spurts out at least a 15’ flame. My dog witnessed it firsthand and beat feet outta there fast to get away from the demon spitting fire stick.

 

When I was a teenager, I turned a supersoaker into a flame thrower.

 

Stock is in and out, it's hit or miss. I had the same issue with mine. I ordered lopsided on mine, and am eager to see if one shits the bed faster than the other.

 

Had a peak at my brake pads this past weekend and it got me thinking… how often are we all changing our pads out? I was pleasantly surprised to see them at about half their life despite putting them on 45k miles ago, though I’m a professional coaster now trying to get that top tier fuel mileage.

 

I've got 40k on my fronts and 110k on my rears rn. Neither seem to need to be changed.

 

You going to the Lone Star Toyota Jamboree in Gilmer, TX next month?

 

Youngest wanted to go to Summit Racing and check it out.

I always troll the scratch & dent and demo/display section. Found this 1GT DC radiator over there. Those fins!

​

 

Don’t buy it. Your OCD will kick in and you’ll spend the week straightening them out when you’ve got better things to do.

 

A few weeks ago, I was helping @jpink wrench on his GF's car when I called you. We were installing a new radiator, thermostat, hoses, water pump, etc. He installed his brand new radiator but couldn't line up the condenser so he pulled the radiator back out and managed to mangle the fuck out of it. Bent several fins. He decided to install the old radiator and claim the new one was damaged in shipping.

It gets better. He called over his GF's 10 year old son and was showing him what a radiator is and how it works. It started as a positive learning lesson for a kid.

Then he proceeded to casually explain that he damaged it, but he was going to send it back and claim it was damaged in transit. I'm watching all this go down and I thought it was hilarious. I called him out for teaching a kid how to commit shipping fraud like it's no big deal. "Here son, this is how you stick it to the man and screw over the retailer. Never own up to your mistakes if you can blame someone else." It reminded me of something Homer Simpson would teach Bart. We both laughed.

I didn't snap a picture of the mangled radiator but this is him working away.

 

Just found out the guy who came up with Star Trek, Gene Roddenberry, was a Texan from El Paso. Learn something new every day.

 

Anyone else remember how nobody would shut up about hydrophobic paints a few years ago, and suddenly, crickets?

I was just realizing hydrophobic spray paint would probably solve a problem I have right now. But shit if I can find it in all the rattle can applications I saw bandied about some years ago.

 

That I am not. If you're thinking my bio says Texas, I live in CA

 

I really need to stop asking you about Texas stuff
Someday I'll remember you're in CA. Till then my dyslexia messes with me every time I see your State of Taxes.

Any chance you'll be going to Tundras 2 Sedona in a few weeks?

 

I had never heard that song before or even of the artist, thanks for sharing.

 

E 40 is a Bay Area legend. Right up there with Short Dog.

 

Never heard of either of em. But I stopped listening to hip-hop 20 years ago. Even back then I only knew what Houston radio allowed me to hear

 

They are from 20-30 years ago. Too short and E40. E40 is more of a niche guy, don’t get a lot of radio play. Rappers ball with E40, Too Short and K-Ci from Jodeci was probably his biggest song. He kept on going and became the face of Hyphi in the Bay Area. I don’t listen to any of that crap these days, but 90s hip hop was great.

 

I knew a few Too Short songs.

 

If you know one, you know them all. 27 albums of the same beat and lyrics in different orders.

 

E40 was one of my main characters in Def Jam Icon

 

(truth hurts)

Don't forget Spice 1 ...

Really?!?

 

Groundhog was right

 

I'm with ya Bill.... it's getting old. Been a while since I remember it lingering this long.

 

Didn't expect to wake up and see TITS today.
