Looks like fun!

1969 Toyota carona two door. My uncle gave me three of them to make one when I was 12 years old. Finished it when I was 14, beat the hell out of it. Wished I still had it.

On a budget. the SBC will win everytime in the dollar vs. performance war. Stroker 3.1 will cost many times more.

This would be cool to have.

Verry nice indeed!

Very nicely done. Love the car. Now go get that Haltech installed and turn up the boost!

You should at least try it out. Two holsets....MMMMM... crazy!

That looks like a nice supressor! I say get the can, and hope that firearm purchases will not become difficult or impossible in the future. I can see supressors getting banned before guns. Bans in the past have grandfathered in personally owned items that were banned. So as long as you own it before they ban, you should be good.

Yes, I just wish I could drive half that good.

I thought this was pretty cool.

Im going to the range tonight. Ill take a pic of my grouping with the xd for all you non believers
You can't bash the XD because it just didn't shoot as accurate as you thought. Me being professionally trained in the art of marksmanship and working on guns for a living, I know that the xd is a reliable, accurate gun. The xdm on the other hand I have no clue, the accuracy issue might have been due to a lack of break in period.Or the amo. I know my XD did not like the inexpensive factory reloaded amo. I reload all of mine, and it likes the 135gr nosler holow points.

I can see that if you wired in a different ingnition switch, and put the start button under the drivers seat, and removed the lock in the ignition cylinder. One of the first places a thieve would look would be the console compartment for keys/money etc.

Yes...but you have to have the key to unlock the steering wheel.
Your argument makes no sense to me...
Yes you have to have the key to unlock the steering wheel, and turn the ignition on, unless you hide a separate ignition switch. A stock Z or most any other car has a keyhole that you insert a key, turn part way to ON, then turn a little farther to enguage the starter motor. Having a visible "enguage the starter motor" button would have little to do with whether the car gets stolen or not. I bought one off ebay from a Prius to put in my car, but I think I like the S2000 button better.

Have you thought about a dry sump setup?
-
I just might do this. Except, I'd probably do it through the console compartment so it isn't noticeable to thieves.
You still have to have the key in the run position for it to start. Can't theives see your keyhole there now.

Wow! That engine is a monster. I would go down and back by massaging the firewall alot.

Checked this on three XDs today, two normal XDs and one of them was an XDm, and the barrels did not wiggle with even a pretty good push. Trigger felt acceptable to me. Still need to find some time to get to the range to actually get some experience with them. Felt good in the hand though...
On a side note it seems that some people are just not keeping up with the times. The local shop was about $250 more expensive than what I've found online. When I brought that to the sales lady's attention she said that there was no way that they could possibly be selling a new gun for that amount. She then went into how I should support local businesses (I didn't want to argue, so I didn't mention that I have a mail order business and do most of my business out of state). Then I commented on the trigger, and how I had heard complaints about it and she said that the person who was complaining about the trigger was probably a plumber and didn't know what they were talking about. I thought that was a nice sentiment. I guess by that logic I wouldn't know my ass from a hole in the ground about anything but dogs and doors since I sell doggie doors. Needless to say I won't be going back to that store.
Do you have a Sportsmans Warehouse where you live? That is where I bought mine, and they had the best price I could find localy. I bought mine when they first came out, and all they had were the 4" regular ones. My barrel and slide are tight, and so is the 5" tactical that a buddy of min bought a couple of years after me. The trigger is OK, not anywhere near a good 1911 trigger, but it is acceptible. If you want to feel a terrible trigger, check out a Walther P99. I bought one of those, and tried to like the gun, but couldn't get past the trigger. It felt like you had to pull it 6" before it would fire, and it was stiff! I sold that gun, and haven't regreted it one second.

I agree with others. Just get you a cheap old american truck. You can find old domestic trucks in the $1000 range that would fit the bill easily. Here localy a co worker picked up a 1978 Chevy 3/4 ton with a rebuilt 350 for $700 6 months ago, and has daily drove it without any problems.

Wow, that turbo is HUGE! What are the turbo specs?
-
I love the sound!
-
If the heads are stock, and haven't had the valve seats replaced, you will either have to replace them with hardened seats, or add a lead substitute to the fuel everytime you fill up..

I Love the sound of those motivational speakers!

Very nice! I just picked up an 02 mustang Gt with plans to do a similar swap, but will be auto and a single turbo. Hoping to get started soon. Been waiting for the weather to cool down a bit. You have done a great job!
