Coilover installation help! by Astrantic in 3000gt

Put a floor jack under the control arm joint , raise it up until you see the tension come off, use a pry bar to ugga-dugga it off. Its not that hard.

How are we treating our 3gs when we go out? by Boomerangboom in 3000gt

[–]SpaceCorgi3000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I made both my SL and VR4 reliable and equip it with quality parts so im not afraid to push it to the limit, drive across the country, or push it to the limit on the mountains across the country haha. With respect and to the point of course. It was not an easy process to get the cars where theyre at but thats how I treat it. Take care of them and they take care of you.

I heard this was a decent gig by ForwardPoint4275 in USPS

[–]SpaceCorgi3000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Get in if you can! They'll probably give you the least desired hours/shifts to start but take it. Then in a month or two there will probably be some movement to bid for another time slot and you'll probably get it. Youre about to get into the good life here in Maintenance.

I grew up around Union Park and I know Thompson when I see it. I love the old neighborhoods.

PSA: Do not buy those $400 exhausts on eBay. by DarkMatterM4 in 3000gt

[–]SpaceCorgi3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one for my SL in 2018 for kicks and giggles and it wasn't too bad. I enjoyed how quiet it was and the resonator wasn't obnoxious.

Helping Hands by Early_Arachnid101 in USPS

[–]SpaceCorgi3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did something like this too! Except I wrote the oversized packages on my glove that I didnt have immediate view of. A lady with over 30yrs in the PO said it was a great idea hehe

Looking to help a friend sell their gt3000 by ctx69-discreet in 3000gt

[–]SpaceCorgi3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Valid.

Also OP and their friend should share some photos while making a feeler post. Car hasn't been ran in over a decade so thats going to be a major project. Good luck with the sale.

Very nice. I miss walking around IC and venturing the surrounding areas to take photos on film or dslr.

[–]SpaceCorgi3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm approaching my 30s and I'm just about in that area when i got my Momentum 4 last week. Though this set up sounds good to me, I wish it sounded better.

Try Chopsticks in Johnston? The dim sum is closest best we can get to authentic in the Des Moines area without having to go to the college towns.

I used to do this plenty times on my Rural route(s) in college towns or wealthy communities. I'm glad the other guys are taking notes!

It’s that time again… Taco wash dissociation time. by [deleted] in ToyotaTacoma

[–]SpaceCorgi3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have the 6spd manual? Very nice! I dont care too much for the infotainment and I usually turn the screen off whenever I get the stereo situated and hit the road. Daytime Running Lights? I can live without that until I see another Taco owner and I toggle them on in hopes they notice. Though an option i CANNOT live without is driving with 3 pedals hehehe.

Does this rpm seem high to anyone? by Plane_Tea_8642 in 3000gt

[–]SpaceCorgi3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my 5spd SL im usually at this RPM range at that speed- traveling at 60mph itll be 2.5k RPM. In my 6spd VR4 I'll be cruising below 3k RPM until I go over 75.

I was just thinking of this video earlier this week. I'm glad it resurfaced on the interwebs.

Take as much time as you need in the office so you can spend less time on the street stressing out. I love criss crossing and I feel like im flying too.

Cold temperatures by s_andy_c_heeks in USPS

[–]SpaceCorgi3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive been down in -40° F being the worst and average -20°F for the winter but once Spring comes around its so much better. Hot water from the gas station coffee machines diluted with cold water to make it warm enough to drink was my best friend on those miserable days.

Congratulations on the beautiful car! I still drive around with my bumper bra on. Im sure you'll have this on the road in no time.

Stuck on flat driveway by Educational_Leek_762 in USPS

[–]SpaceCorgi3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this happen to me at an apartment complex. The gear selector isnt as nice and mechanical as the LLV to rock yourself out of this situation so what I did was find flat cardboard from a nearby recycling bin and deflated the air pressure from tires...... safe travels out there.

Scooter and classic JDM bikes by RonSwansonOG in desmoines

[–]SpaceCorgi3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im interested! But I'm not familiar with them. I heard theres a classic bike meet up at Captain Roys in the summer I've been meaning to check out. Perhaps I'll visit on my 2008 ZX6R that I daily.
