So my father's bugging me about this '05 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 TRD with a 6 speed he found for sale... I've been thinking about a new vehicle...



but I must resist as I told myself I was going for a Boxster or a nice 951.

I think I would get tired of a truck a lot sooner than an 02' 2.7L boxster.

Good morning everybody, how is everybody doing, I hope all is well, it is raining here to beat the band but it is 60 deg. so it is actually somewhat nice. (Is that better Stijn?)

I got yelled at for simply saying "Morning" so I figured I may as well placate the grouch.

Good morning gents, glad to see my influence is effective..
Had a good nights sleep, 10h40 .. not to shabby.... now i can get to the business of planning my week off..

Already worked out a simple idea on how to modify MFI pumps for increased control... to bad i have no test-bed to work with..
Simply put, add an electronic step motor and use that to tweak pump operation over the running conditions... via the barometric cell...
Just like Porsche did mechanically for boost control on the 935...no more worries about camshaft to mfi pump match... or tuning for weird setups... I ought to patent the idea...

i have an interesting observation: when i am home, my son stays in bed until after 5, usually after 6. when i get home from work in the morning, my wife nearly always reports that he was up before 5. any theories?

edit: case in point, he just got up.

Gary Coleman arrested for domestic violence ?!?!

What, did he throw a temper tantrum and hold his breath?
seriously ,he's 1m40 something.. surely any violent tendencies can be crushed with not to much effort?





whatyoutalkinabout Willis?

I'de like to see him cage fight with either Boris or Bubba...He'de think twice if he ever feels violent again after that...

that's what i'm saying, why bother with calling the cops, if you can knee him in the face and then simply claim "he walked right into my knee your honor"
