For testing components, standalones and other car related stuff you need some way to power them. Most of the time you just need 12v. But sometimes you need 5v. Where do you get 5v? From a computer power supply re-purposed as a bench power supply. I've been using a computer power supply for awhile now but I finally made it permanent and easier to use. Computer PSUs are cheap and easy to find. You can get them from the trash at your local e-waste location.   http://i463.photobucket.com/albu

So want to change up the look of the car a bit. I want to go all black and red, no chrome. I got my wheels stripped down (which was an unbelievable feat) and they are ready for whatever. I wanted to do all black just chrome studs, gloss black. My problem is that I love the my chrome lips and am having a hard time trying to change them. (inner struggle) So whats the call, black and chrome, bare metal chrome, all black, just chrome studs? Any other ideas? http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w23

Hey guys,   Starting January 7th I'll be starting an Automotive Technician class! I'm stoked to learn a ton of new car stuff, so I can take care of my darling.   Also, sometime next year I'll be doing an autobody and paint class too, so watch out!   Who knows, in a few years I might even be a respectable technician, who can paint cars.   While we are on the topic, anyone have any cool mechanic tips or tricks? Like maybe a way to get a tough something or rather off that is stuck, or maybe a tool

well, the the time has come, im looking for a 1jz swap. First does anyone have any recommendation on a place to buy one? I know i need the front sump, and the R154 with the short shifter housing. Once i can get an engine set ill have this thing on the down hill slide!   Im going to put some things here to help others out now.   Here is an awesome link describing what everything does in detail.. http://wilbo666.pbworks.com/w/page/47216384/1JZ-GTE%20JZZ30%20Soarer     http://i223.photobucket.com/a
