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

VW is pretty horrible about making parts NLA and they're quick about it.

 

im trying to decide what to do with my bed. the bedside has some crappy body work done to it. so it'll likely get a new side. but the rust on the floor of it is geting bad. do i pay to have it fixed, or find a rust free bed elsewhere

 

the new wears off after a few miles. lol

I had to make a lot of calls to the west coast and no one really wanted to ship. I found one salvage yard that was able to crate one up and ship.

 

I’d pick up probably

 

Eventually, the pipes will shear off right at the muffler. You can usually pull that stub out and modify the hangers and reattach for another couple of years use. But eventually, you will have to go back to MagnaFlow for a replacement, if it has the lifetime warranty. I got about 8 years on my first one.

 

VW is 10 years. I know that from when I was working on my 9 year old (at the time) 92 Corrado.

 

Corrado nice to look at but that's about it.

I once looked at a mint 1991 G60 with ultra low miles and the engine wire harness was rotting.

 

Mine was good for more than just looking at. I put plenty of ricers and BMW douches in their place with that car.

Mustangs and Cameros too

 

Scangauge questions:

I've had one on my 2004 3.4 for a couple years now. However when I put the 18.5 tank size. It doesn't sink up with my actual tank. Or so it seems.

Does anyone run into this?

 

Like Mk2 GTis it's tough to find a clean one these days

 

Ya... I was sorry to see my Corrado go. I knew when I lost it, I'd never get another one back.

They were pretty rare to begin with (VW overpriced them and they never really sold well) now a good one is like a damn unicorn. Parts were becoming hard to find back then, I'm sure it's much worse now.

When I kicked my ex-wife out, I had the Corrado and a built Jeep ZJ (Grand Cherokee). I had to keep the ZJ cause it fit my boys. I kept the kids (and the Jeep), but had to let the Corrado go. I was totally good with that trade.

 

FML, was gonna replace my rack and pinion bushings but left my high lift jack and jackstands back in Austin....

 

Good Saturday 1st gen run I the PNW. It was supposed to be dry but rain moved in the last minute.

 

There's Alot of places in AZ that aren't a billion degrees.
But I'll tell you this. If you want to relocate to Flag because Cali's too expensive & too crowded. Flag is not for you. Flag is the California of Arizona.

I'd move to UT in a hot minute. But the draconian alcohol laws and that evil un-named entity that controls the state. No thank you. I can be in S. UT in five hours from here.

 

Garbage!

 

Ah crap! I have those too.

Did the ones from plasticsguy get released yet?

 

Uh oh

 

Just checked, the ones from plastic guy, preorder is going on right now until the 25th. I just ordered a set. Won't ship until next month though.

I did nothing to my truck today, but someone abandoned three kittens in my bed last night or this morning.

I woke up and looked out the window this morning and I was like "what's that thing in my bed?" , then I went to check that box out and saw the kittens in it. Two grey & white and a tabby

Taking care of them for now
