Well, im selling out. Giving my car to a friends dad who is a mechanic, and hes going to charge me to finish it. Someone stole all my fuckin tools. All i have is a few sockets (for stuff other than a supra), one extension, one ratchet, an adjustable wrench, a 10 and 12mm socket, a hammer, and thats it. They took a whole set of long and short metric sockets, my set of ratcheting wrenches, 2 crafstman ratchets (3/8s and 1/2 drive), a plier set, my sawzall, and whatever else i dont even remember i had or is gone, thats just the stuff I know about. Theres at least 300$ in tools missing out of my car. Fuckin great!!

Well, at least the car didn't blow up like it might have in other foreign countries! I am sure nothing gets stolen in any other country....................right..............

You might as well have the deck resurfaced. If it goes back turbo and you want to use a metal head gasket, it does pay to have that done, but it means pulling the block out too. There are ways to do that yourself, but a lot of time and very hard to get perfectly flat all the way from end to end. I hear the stock Toyota head gasket from the dealer works very well though too. Just make sure to torque it to ARP specs and you really should not have any more problems, unless you really go crazy with boost and/or nitrous.

Keep us up to date!

Isphius · 12-15-2006, 05:58 AM

yup, about 300$ in stuff missing. Shity part is i cant even remember what else may have been taken out of the car. Heres a picture of all the tools they left me to finish my hg with, how nice of them

thechori · 12-15-2006, 06:25 AM

i know how you feel....someone got into my car the other day and took some tools, nowhere near as valuable as yours (probably 60$ worth), a flashlight, the gloves that i work on the car with (baseball gloves that were oily as hell), and the damned change that was in the little hole that you push and it pops up.. i was pretty pissed :\

Isphius · 12-15-2006, 02:38 PM

Yup, I always wonder why people have to streal things. There is nothing in the world worth stealing. If you have to steal it, its not worth owning.
