    I just don't see the need to go to discs when drums are still used on most large vehicles. They do their job. But its your ride, and I'm sure they'd look cool lol :thumbsup:

    No reason for me to switch to disk brakes. Drums do what I need them to do.

    Put a can koozie in them. Or, what I do, I use a small wash cloth to cradle the cup and keep it snug in the cup holder.

    I wasn't suggesting anyone would NEED to swap them. I still have the stock brakes on my truck. I was just pointing out the advantages of one over the other. Going to disks in the rear on my truck seems like more work and money than the slightly improved performance is worth. Drum brakes do just fine as long as you understand their limitations.

    I wish my square cup holders had tabs.

    I guess the Japaneese thought cups were going to look like this in the late 90s:

    1) Lack of power going uphill. Hard to maintain 80MPH, at high grades.

    Of course 2.7L +gimpomatic+DC= slow truck

    2) Horrendous headlights.


    Love everything else about it

    Why do you need to pull 80 uphill?

    Maybe you need a faster car? :notsure:
    Then the Taco could stay home away from those crazy truckers. :thumbsup:

    Yeah! They are not affordable, light duty Japanese vehicles with 4 wheels and decent gas mileage! They are definitly not something people buy and customize no matter how good or bad their taste in "mods" are. These things always have around 200k miles on them and people love them to death...

    Wait are we talking civics or tacomas?

    No clock might have actually been better then a clock in a bad location...

    Main reason why I want disc brakes in the rear is cause of safety really. Plus I have trouble changing drum brake shoes and adjusting them. I just like disc brakes more

    I like how they placed the cheesy, shaky, plastic cup holders so that when coffee or soft drinks gets to splashing around it all runs down over the stereo and the vents. I refuse to use them at all, ever!
