Looks like the only thing I managed was paying down some debt and getting the timing belt done on the Avalon.

Pr0kjayhawk posted:AI related: AI related: 1. Nailed it! 3 car garage with a nice house attached to it. 2. Done. I have to say though, I think I did this backwards. It's up there in the "perfect enthusiast family car" category. 3. Done. Need to make a thread about the GT350. 4. Decided I didn't have time to keep up with two cars due to work, grad school, and baby so I blew the budget on a single car. Pretty happy with that decision. 5. Nope. Not tracking the GT350 until the oil line recall is done. Non AI: 1. Done. 2. Done. 3. Done. 2016 was a good year.

Pomp and Circumcized posted:*Buy a house with a proper garage/workshop space so I'm not fixing cars on my driveway with a garage full of bits of car. 1. DONE! I'm now a homeowner  . The particular house chosen has a large garage and plenty of off-road parking 2. Done and gone. The doors, bumpers, and most of the interior is still cluttering up my garage, however 3. Sorta done. I went for a RX8 instead as they are so much cheaper and still kinda fun. No 1UZ as a more modern V6 will fit better and still make the same power. (and a complete car containing such engine was purchased for 1/3rd of the amount I sold a 1UZ for) 4. I bought the engine mounts! The UZZ32 Soarer is now off the road awaiting a full do-over (not quite at the restoration stage yet), and it will get the bushes at that time .5. Bought them! Found a set on eBay in the UK, recent Aus imports. I'm a lucky boy! They will get fitted later (see above) 6. Done Not bad .Time to figure out what to do with 2017. It't an exciting time for me - I'll be starting my first full-time job (ever), for a large industrial fabrication company who also happen to love anything car related (and have a "use whatever you want outside of work time" policy). The downside is working 5+ days per week and being exhausted in the evenings.

Pomp and Circumcized posted:You in the UK, goon? I'm always up for some crazy car stuff. Indeed, before the name change I was 88h88. I want to do it so at some point I'll at least need some advice/help on getting hold of one. They apparently require little loving around to mate up to the Toyota W58 gearbox I have in the car already and the only thing I'd lose out on is the air con which has never worked anyway.

Did fix the wiring in my Truck, traded the miata and the Towncar is not too ghetto hosed, so sure, mission accomplished Garage is scheduled to be installed the first week of January. E. I did go for extra credit though and got engaged, had a kid and got married, in that order. Only the engagement was on my list and it all worked out. I'd say 2016 was pretty great if not completely insane Maksimus54 fucked around with this message at 23:07 on Dec 22, 2016 |

This Facebook group is pretty useful. Loads of W58 conversions in here. For some reason, everyone wants to put them in E36's https://www.facebook.com/groups/1491819467770491/ I sold my extra 1UZ on there. I have a guy who is willing to give me a complete (junk) V8 Soarer in exchange for some work on his car, so I will potentially have another one to sell at some point.
