Well thanks, now i know i can photoshop something good.:D not really i cant even use imovie without getting pissed off. It took a lot of butter to shoehorn it in there, i cheated though. I got the motor 15 ft in the air slapped butter in the engine bay and dropped the engine in it!<<< build thread #2
That, my friend, had me nearly falling out of my seat laughing.:bowrofl:

DOH!!!you said progress! Anyway that car was Steves idea, he said I bet you cant rua a 4g63 and a Corolla together and make it run. After that he said im just nuts to do it , while im right in the middle of the build.By the time i was about ready to sell it set it on fire or throw it in the woods, he told me im a slacker. Then my big turbo blew up, the car caught fire.:chair:
I take no responsibility for what goes on in your warped brain. I never said you cant do it, I said you shouldn't do it. If you'd put the energy into the Talon it'd be alot further along. Regardless, now that you've created this abomination, the least you could do is finish it already. :tree:
 
Steve is like the DSM muse.

Well lets begin with an update, those people want a build thread so a build thread they will get! THE Factory Toyota TACH WORKS!!! Ok now their updated i cant believe you called it an abomination. :eek: i consider it home grown with eco friendly "RECYCLED" materials. and its MADE FROM THE FINEST JUNK !

As far as the tach is concerned it is a positive trigger controlling it, so with that said the Tacho interface module mitsu put in the early ones did have a purpose.To make me put this car together!

so tonight i tried to back it out the garage, to my amazement the ignition switch was cracked, i look and i look and somehow i knew it has a hairline crack.So i proceeded to touch it, to make a long story short it shot 6 out of 6 springs 6 recovered, and who knows how many ball bearings there are. now i got an excuse to use all my collection of weird gadgets and switches. and the tail lights look like they work now. update #3

So this is how it started, I had a 1986 GT-S Hatch and i Found a 1986 GT-S Hatch growing out of someones yard, I inquired and it turns out no one knew what was wrong with it so they just had it sitting for years. I gladly asked them how much they would let it go for since i had the same car and i could use it for parts. I was actually surprised when he said $100 you can take it,and before he could blink his eye I was all ready to shake his hand. Within close to an hour I had the car put away in a shop i worked for at the time. The Black Coupe is a very important part of the story that i will talk about later on. So far I'm in a deep $180 hole :)

Why not throw a 7age in there?
1 because i would have to spend money on it.
2 why not just my 4agze ?
3 It needed Boost.
4 had to be cheap.
5 It needed to be different.
6 it still kept the 4 and the G
7 that's just how it ended up as.

remember the purpose was to build a GRM $2008 car, never got done on time. But you would be surprised how much it ended up costing me at the end.

Hey Lex can we rename this thread ?

and 8 people dared me to do it.:naughty:

As far as running, i've made it the last 2 weeks to work and back, only thing that scares me right now is im still on the stock 1 row radiator that seems to be working so far. I would like to find a radiator of the same size and the thickest i could fit in there, so anyone have an extra one they can give me ?:) So yeah it runs fine but the other day it shot something out the exhaust, but that's another different story. Maybe ill duct tape a camera on it and take some videos.
