What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Yeah, note the Fuelly userid.

Its currently a garage queen, I need to deal with a coolant line leak and there is an electrical short.

I did a bunch of mods (vmount,gauges,light weight flywheel (bad idea) injectors, etc.)

I have had it up to 163. At that speed its needs more downforce on the front, it was getting, well not twitchy, but I needed to make small adjustments continually to keep it straight.

Probably the most fun I had in it was an early morning (0400) run to Austin from Houston, nice empty roads, just cruising in the 80-100 range. Otherwise a RX-7 meet around Austin, going around Lake Travis was a lot of fun.

 

A couple years ago, I passed on a really clean FC. Street ported , on real rays... All it needed was an alternator. I was scared thinking it had bad wiring.

 

My brother in law gave me two TRD shifters, I decided I liked the bottom one better.

 

i have the bottom one, i like it.

 

Yeah it felt way too small at first but I'm getting used to it. It looks clean in my opinion compared to the other style.

 

Sweet, those are a dream to work on compared to the cramped engine compartment in the FDs.

 

I was wandering when you were gonna take that off lol, bumper comes next

 

Have you tried a heat gun and fishing line yet? Heat it up and use fishing line to get under the gunk and scrape it off

 

I have the top one. I really like the look and feel but it is of horrible quality. In a couple of years I'll be ready for a new one. Will probably go with the one you have - although I'm reluctant because I have XL sized hands.

 

Yeah I LOVE the feel of the top one because I too have big hands but the bottom one is nice because I can wrap my hand around and get two fingers underneath and just shift like that.

 

What kinda car is that?

 

FD RX-7 I believe.

 

Back space is 4.5 and i have 1/4 spacers up front to clear the calipers.......10 inch wide wheels.

 

Good n wide! I like it. Any frame rubbing? I love the fit of 15's but I also want tundra brakes lol

 

Got my rigids installed. I'm happy with how she's looking now.

 

Looks ricey to me but thats just my .02

Bumper looks great

 

Goo gone for the gunk and then Scratch-x for the 'outline' worked like an absolute dream.

 

Took a picture of girl I'm dating cleaning off all the mud on the back of rad. Such a turn on watching her do this.

 

I literally did not see the girl at first and legit thought you were talking about dating your truck and getting turned on by "her".

 

Wait... is that not normal?
