Fans loved the last RBR camo livery and it didn’t make it onto a starting grid either...

Also why does NASCAR need three two commercials for its own product in every commercial break?

At least Rover parts all came from one make. My Dad gets parts catalogs for MGs, Triumphs, and Austin Healeys, because depending on what part of the car you’re looking at, that’s where it came from. Morgans were just parts bin mashups for a long time. I actually find it quite clever how they were able to make it all…

Both. Plus some other type that was only used by the Brits (my Dad knows what that standard is). It’s mostly SAE, but there’s Metric in there too.

God I hope they spent some time tuning the engine and transmission. It’s a good motor and trans, but the calibration is just plain awful. I also hope they offer this as a TRD accessory, because I will absolutely get one put on my regular TRD Taco.

I’ve gone there for generic parts like accessory belts, radiator hoses, plug wires, distributor parts, carb parts, lug nuts, etc. A lot of times, with a little patience and creativity, you can find something that is 99% close to what you need. And when you’re working on a 60+ year old British car, you need some…

I do the same thing when getting parts for my 1990 240SX. I’ve got 4 different makes and models I have to ask for if I want certain parts. #Projectcarlife

Because common things like V-belts, lug nuts, radiator hoses, etc can be had at the local parts store if you take the time to measure or compare parts. And why wait 2+ weeks for a part to ship from the UK when I can get it today if there is a parts jockey who knows how to measure? Besides then we don’t have to pay the…

We found the local NAPA that knows how to measure a part and find a replacement. They also let us go behind the counter to find the thing we need. There’s no reason to special order a v-belt from the UK when you can find something at the local parts store with a modicum of effort.

“I need a part.”

People never believe me when I say there is an art to crashing, but here it is. It’s half luck and half skill, but you need both to make it out unscathed. If you don’t believe me, listen to Davison downshift as he’s spinning. That’s not someone holding on for dear life, that’s someone who is actively trying to gain…

2014

Yes it could.

Yeah a “comfy” swap is going to cost wayyyyyy more than the budget allotted. Just better to spend a bit more upfront and get everything you want the first time around. Plus LS6/LS2 >> 4.6 Mod motor.

Forget the swap. Put the 4.6 on Craigslist, and just get a 1st gen CTS-V. Very fast, very comfortable, and big and safe. Mom will love it. You can find one at $10K, but at $15K you can get a very nice one. And considering you won’t be paying for an engine swap, that will be money well spent.

Wait, what? The interior of the Tacoma is NOTHING like the 2nd gen. Toyota spent a lot of time on the body and interior of the 3rd gen Tacoma. Did they put the same effort into the drivetrain, suspension, and chassis? Oh definitely not. But to say the 2015+ Tacoma hasn;t had an honest refresh is just plain wrong. I’ve…

Google rooked me and gave me the MSRP of a V6, not an SS. Grrrr...Kind of ruins part of my argument.

I liked driving the Frontier. But I ended up going with the Tacoma, partly because I got employee pricing (Toyota treats its suppliers well) so I could afford a TRD model, but partly because that TRD model was much better equipped than the Pro-4X Frontier at the same price (with the discount factored in). Even at…

The problem is you’re getting wall jobbed with value. I found this out shopping mid-sized trucks. Sure, the Frontier was the cheapest by far, but when you factor in all of the extra stuff you get as standard on the Tacoma, Colorado/Canyon, and the Ridgeline, the Frontier becomes a major loser. This is most apparent in…
