1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

2 bolt mains. V6’s are better balanced and the mains have a girdle, but still…

 

10k on just the crate motor. That doesn't even include the boost items

Why is Decatur bad? Just ordered drums from them

 

My boss got me a present. I love it.

 

Mistake with part numbers and shit customer service if you need help. That said, I've ordered from them multiple times and had some orders that were fine. Drums shouldn't be an issue.

Finally snapped a picture of a Best Gen in my hood. There are a total of 4 that I've seen in my neighborhood. This is the first time I've gotten a decent look at this one. He usually has a cover over it. It's in really pretty good shape aside from the few dents.

 

Looks mint, except for that back right. Almost looks like piss poor body work at some time. I noticed it has the TRD flares but is missing the bedside decal and all of the tailgate badging.

 

Why do you say that? If that was the case I’d see a lot of people doing it.

 

Because the 5vz is the best engine ever engineered.

 

Hell, it's not even the best engine Toyota designed, much lest ever.

 

Yea, best engine ever was the ford flathead v8. Its been a long, slow fall from glory.

 

22Rs, 2TRs, 2JZs...

 

You don't know

 

Okay, if they can run on a quart of oil for a few days and not destroy the engine much like a slant 6, I’ll agree.

 

They are bullet proof.
They can snap a timing belt and be totally fine.

They loooove boost. In fact the weakest link is the A340 attached to most of em. Pair a stock 5vz with its 5 speed R150 option, an upgraded clutch, and forced induction of your choice and let it eat.

The TRD/Magnuson SC's are popular choices. They made three versions of em. Pair either of em with some URD SC and crank pulleys, URD 7th injector, meth injection, and you'll have one mean AF v6.

 

So, armor piercing?

 

V6 noises? No offense to my v6 homies in here, but a longitudinal V6 with an exhaust makes some of the worst noises in automotive history. I've heard some shit sounding 4s, but some can sound really great. V6? No such luck. Straight 6 or no 6.

See Ford F150 Raptor with the 3.5TT for further proof.

 

I'm attempting to reverse-sear a steak for the first time.
For my bday, my buddy got me a $70 ribeye. It's 2" thick. Unfortunately I'm out of bacon fat, so once it bakes at 275°F for 25 minutes, I'm going to cast iron pan sear it in butter. I seasoned it with salt and pepper. I hope it turns out good.

 

5vz sounds goood

 

I’d rather have a 3uz-fe retrofitted into my truck.

 

its always an altima with paper plates and a fart can.

 

Only if it’s the 5.0 version

 

2UR-GSE

 

Here’s the sound I want for a 4 cylinder (or even a six). Haha
