UPDATE 1: I put over 11k on the 4Runner since I bought it, and had no failures other than a water pump/alternator belt. Thing is a tank. UPDATE 2: I'M STILL DUMB AND BOUGHT SOMETHING ELSE. WHO WANTS TO BUY THE 4RUNNER? 2000 BMW 323Ci, 5 speed, 186,000 miles, some cosmetic issues, and it...

I think they found it in a Google search. Not sure if it was linked back to my Flickr or what, but I've had several images get rehosted and make their way around the interwebs, so the watermark never hurts. My Flickr page is where I post anything that's of reasonable quality, the shit stuff goes...

Hey, someone from Road & Track magazine recently emailed me about potentially using a random photo I took years ago of a Miata roll bar in the magazine. They pay. Well. Without the watermark, they probably don't find me. If it goes on Flickr, it gets watermarked.

3rd and 5th scream pretty good. :lol: Going to change the fluid some time soon and see if it helps, doing some quick research it doesn't sound like it's a sign of imminent failure though, so I don't really care too much. It's a beater. If it goes forwards, backwards, turns, and stops, when I...

Yeah but this one doesn't have holes rotted through the frame. So I did plugs, wires, put the stock airbox and a new filter in, and changed the oil. This thing runs like a beast... Well... No. It runs. Better than it did. But god damn is it slow. Which is half the reason it's so damn fun. Put...

I know who I am. :rollin: Yeah, if you want to drive a shitty vehicle for eternity, buy an '80s Yota. And it actually doesn't leak, at least not enough to reach the ground.

Nah. Just gotta find some cheap tires on Craigslist. Not trying to dump any money into this thing just yet. Oh yeah, thing is slow as BALLS. But it generally moves forward when asked to. Hopefully it won't be a project just yet, I just want to drive the crap out of it this winter, and...

I bought something because I'm dumb. I've been looking for a winter beater, and I found this '88 4Runner 5 speed on Craigslist a couple days ago. Looked at the thing, and was impressed with how solid the frame is (as well as the floors), and the interior is absolutely immaculate for a...

No that sounds about right for a Titan...

I'm sorry.

If it breaks sitting still, just imagine what it'll do once you actually start driving it!

So what's wrong with this one?

Next thing we know he'll have bought an '86 Tercel for $200 on Craigslist.

At this point I think I could sell it to him.

BOOOOOOO

:lol: Well they should hold, that's all I care about. Ok I lied. I'm incredibly frustrated at how ugly it turned out, I hate when shit that's in my control isn't perfect. I learned a TON over the course of welding both sides and could do a much prettier job now. But whatever. As long as the...

What does the dead body say after it decomposes? I AmSoil.

Psh... the ebrake barely works anyway.

AS THE GODDAMN BALD MAN WISHES... Oh yahh, birdshit welds. They're ugly, but strong.

My point is that SOMEONE HAS FIGURED OUT A WAY TO ALLEVIATE THE MAIN ISSUE WITH DI, which you claimed had not been done. I'm done. I forgot what it was like trying to have a discussion with a wall.

First of all, there's no need to be a condescending prick. And great. Valve coking. We've already established that it happens. On the subject of reading comprehension and valve coking, did you completely miss the part about Toyota's system that appears to have almost completely eliminated the...

I will believe it. Not because I want to, but because I understand that when you can increase the compression ratio and further advance timing, an engine will run more efficiently. This isn't something to "believe" or "not believe". That's how engines work. "Period". And name one other way to...
