I need to check on that they are from ROUSH, under a year old so maybe they are under warranty. I do want to upgrade to coilovers, just not this soon

Is the guy in the center "DK" aka Brian Tee from F&F3 Tokyo Drift?

That is a true statement.

 

yeah... what that does is show the correction... if you don't like the correction touch the correction-popup with the x and it will accept your spelling.


+1 Oil of any kind or amount coming out of the shocks or struts is bad. Roush should warranty that. Coilovers... too overkill???

 

Anyone looking to cover up the ugly antenna base?

But why does it have a hole in it ?

 

Hello all...... T - 2 days.

 

Nice family koji!

Which one's the Judoka? Mr. Clean?

I see one hakujin in the mix too.. doh! Don't worry, I have lots in my family as well.










+2. You've got a blown out shock. My POS stock Bilstiens on my Taco blew within 7k miles. Switched to Rancho and I've got over 103k now with no leaks.

Overkill? I think all of our cars are overkill to an extent. If Jed wants coilovers, by all means go for it!




Looks interesting, but a bit pricey at $25. Get it Leo so we can all check it out.

 

So what's on everyone's X-Mas wish/want list?

Me- New wheels and tires. Probability of Santa delivering these..

 

Ditto Koji

Not saying it's bad or anything just asking the question, maybe I want to go in that direction....
X-mas list... tried to get a porter cable 7424(lord knows I mentioned helping the forged fund and I'd rather not put up with that anymore ) and that ain't happening. My present to myself will be an Icebox. Will probably get some sheets/socks/stuff for my kitchen, probably a dvd or two.


The fantasy list is a new 24" iMac and being forged and if I had to choose it'd be the engine guts.

 

R to L, standing: Me, wifey, James Ota (HIN/JDM dude), Robyn (oldest daughter) and Takeshi (oldest son - 20; Mr. Wrestler/Mr. Popeye/Mr. Never Call Pop). Hakujin is sis-in-law and my younger brother. He also works at Boeing on top secret crap.

You're wishing, right??? I want a younger wife. But a 6 speed Tremec would be AWESOME, right Leo??

 

I'd like a torque converter, UCA, and like anyone else forged internals.

 

Hey, Brian, thanks for the compliment on the family... I see your summary specs on your ride. You're in the 500 club?

 

No prob Koji. Family is everything in my book.

yeah I think so. If the 12% loss is correct I'm pushing out 540 at the crank. Or 559 if the 15% is right... I hear that the 1-piece drops it down to 12% parasitic loss but I am not sure how accurate that is.

 

Sweeet! Me being 55 and all, I'm never going to be able to join the 500 Club... Unless I live out my Roush warranty as I can't afford to do a TacoBill!

 

Anything over 500 becomes trivial on the street and should just be labeled as ludicrous fast.

Heck, I'm at what.. maybe 440 at the crank? Sure, can use more, but it feels super fast to me.. but not ludicrous.




I can't afford to do a TB either.

 

Humm a Ludicrous Taco has a nice ring to it bill. My next step I think will be to have my car haxe a nice whirrrr to it , now a matter of searching someone close and compotent to do it.

 

I'd like for my Eagle F1-Allseasons to get here sooner the better !

 

Ludicrous =

 

well yeah when you're running the stock 235s
I'm OK with ludicrous fast


+1

 

For now my power level is good, when I did that fly-by in front of Sunset FORD for it confirmed it for me. The car stared to go sideways its was so F'in cool, I had to let off.

Long range I do want to replace the motor with either a ROUSH or Livernoise long block. That's contingent on selling the Arizona pad and I don't see that happening for a couple of years with the economy all messed up.

For Xmas: Well more like in 09 BIG Brakes Baer Extreme! I want to upgrade all corners.
