A fam shot last year. The one who put me in the chit house since Saturday is standing next to me. I met her in '99 just a month after her 29th BD (in Japan). I was 46. Now she's my wife... Carries a big stick.
The guy next to my oldest daughter is the guy involved with HIN, JDM, etc.

That is a true statement.

+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?

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

So what's on everyone's X-Mas wish/want list?
Me- New wheels and tires. Probability of Santa delivering these..

Nice family koji!
+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.

Not saying it's bad or anything just asking the question, maybe I want to go in that direction....
The fantasy list is a new 24" iMac and being forged and if I had to choose it'd be the engine guts.

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!
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.

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.
