1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

As it should be.

 

It's good for the corolla, that's how I tested the old timing belt and it's how I'll test the new one

 

I guess it's fixing itself. How neat is that

 

Waiting to get 4-5k miles on my oil before sending it out

 

I don't drive that much in that thing so a 3k interval usually covers a few trips for me

 

unironically I think it's a good thing to do for longevity. for sure better than an old car that gets grannied and kept below 2k RPMs it's entire life that will shit the bed once it goes to being driven normally

 

Same, today I gotta get some dog food but otherwise don't need to go anywhere so mileage isn't racking up as quickly

 

It was a requirement in the RX7 lol

You don't take it to redline at least twice a week you may as well atone for your sins

 

I don't care, I want power and noise haha

I think you will be good. It takes critical thinking to be a great planner. You have to work through a bunch of scenarios in your mind. What happens if. Just try to avoid analysis paralysis.

 

That’s funny, I had almost the same results, with the second test being far better.

 

Well I think Toyota made a SFA about as comfortable and good-handling as it could be with the 80 series. I’ve never driven a 60 series if older Pickup, but those are supposed to be a lot harsher, like driving a pogo sticks

 

Everything you do is a good experience if you keep moving forward and you are. Although I'm technically in the marketing and advertising production industry. Studying the management techniques taught to Toyota by Dr. Deming has been valuable. I started studying Deming back in 2001. I found it neat when I bought a Toyota in 2019 that Deming was involved with shaping Toyota in the 1950s.

I can tell you that a planner/manager who knows how to "implement and execute" a Toyota-like management program in any industry from hotels to dairy products can command a premium.
It's all about your style of execution and results. If you find yourself at a company that does not value those things, start looking for a new job. They are on their way out of business.

I had a mechanic tell me the same thing because I was going to sell my truck because I wasn't enjoying it anymore. I babied my truck and he told me babying it clogs up cats faster, and could lead to excessive carbon build up. Since then from time to time I ring out first and second and I makes for a much more enjoyable experience to drive.

 

She's a unit! Crew cab long bed, 454 with a TH400. I dunno what the hell I'd use it for but I like it.

 

You forget a link to an ad or sum??

 

Oh yeah, this unit

 

Some TLC, Body work, a set of tons, itd be marvelous.

 

Already on a corporate 14bolt in the back. I'd wanna slam the shit out of it though, big American 4x4s have 0 appeal to me. Useless size profile to do anything fun.
