What's this, I thought TIS was online only.

this is technically the one the dealers had... same thing but it says toyota https://www.ebay.com/itm/Factory-Oe...tic-Tester/282621066626?LH_ItemCondition=3000

 

TIS is online. the techstream is registered through tis once a year for an large amount of $$

 

What is techstream and how is it different than TIS?

 

techstream is the diagnostic software.
TIS is the website.
it is registered through TIS. you cannot use techstream without an active subscription. (unless you have a bootlegged copy)

 

So what can Techstream do?

 

not a whole lot on your truck. but newer cars, program keys, write vins to ECUs ETC>

 

Just convert to carburetor

 

I want to build an old American muscle car now.

 

I grew up with V8's, especially with my dad always having one growing up as a kid...

Something about a turbo car though, stepping on the gas, and hearing that turbo spool up like a jet engine only to get pinned to your seat when you hit full boost

FML need to change my boxers

 

I'm off to do my networking homework and maybe be asleep before 4am Too many drunk people in my kitchen last night yelling to do homework. So I got that going for me.

 

Sounds like @JKO1998

Hopefully its better for ya tonight

 

The only thing ive never owned is an old american v8. that and a sports car (i will rectify that this year if i have it my way).

 

Good shit

I'm fortunate in that I've gone through it all, so minimal hobbies/cars to pursue lol

The only rabbit hole I haven't dived into was what my Tacoma offers. I've had 4x4 vehicles before, with my '07 Frontier being the last one I owned. I sold it months before I got the Tacoma actually.

I just never combined the outdoors with driving to the outdoors; always hiked and backpacked to where I wanted to go or stay the night.

What sports car do you plan to own this year?

 

the mr2 duh. ive got a 3.5 sitting waiting to build.
Ideally trying to find a MANUAL non turbo 1993 mr2. wiring on that would be easiest.

 

Manual, non-turbo, '91

wow they're expensive out there.
arizonia ive seen a few that are CLEAN for 2-3k

 

Exactly why I haven't pursued an MR2 for awhile.

I sold my RX7 FD for almost $20k...that was in 2011 or 2012 and it was a '93 so you can imagine what they're asking now.

Z32 TT's or 3000GT VR4 also fetch a lot of money.

 

if i can find a rust free one for cheap enough with fucked up paint or a blown motor that doesnt bother me.. it'll likely be getting the full treatment with hakone green and obviously a new shiny 3.5l v6
