    Autopia, it's been a while.

    It's been quite a while since I've been on these boards. I think I stopped posting around the time I got my first car back in 2005, a 1995 SC400. I remember the regulars being guys like Setec Astronomy, Bill D, ScottWax, TOGWT, 1CleanWS6(?), among others. Anyone still here? Well the Lexus is up...

    I'm vinyl wrapping my Lexus.

    I decided that I'm going to do a satin black finish on my car. After realizing how tedious a real paint job would be for this, I looked for an alternative. I figured that the vinyl wrap option would work best for me. I got a quote today for $1,500 to do it professionally. Not terrible, but I...

    Loking to do a large vinyl/leather dying project.

    I began to "dye" the interior of my Lexus this Summer to freshen up the look. The car has tan leather with the dash, window trim, pillars, etcetera being a hideous dark brown. The plan is to dye all brown sections black for a nicer look. The product I used was an aerosol called SEM. It went...

    Haven't been on in FOREVER. Any of the old crew still on here?

    Just figured I'd stumble across the site. I haven't been on since God knows when. I wonder if any of the old members are still around? Setec? Holland Patrick? White95Max? Norah? Porknbeans? Scottwax?

    I'm back with a 2004 Civic Si detail.

    This car belongs to a member here called Kirima (Will). We've been keepin contact for the last few months trying to arrange a time for him to come to my place and learn to use the PC and machine polish. After a few failed attempts, we finally got together today. The car is Will's 2004...

    A 5-question survey for one of my classes.

    If you'd be so kind, please take a minute and take this survey. It's for my entrepreneurship class and I owe 20 completed surveys by tomorrow. The idea is primary market research for establishing a business. My business of choice happens to be an electronics store. If you'd rather not post...

    Haven't been on in a while. Who wants to guess why my SC400 is idling at 1,500?

    This thread was written for another, more 'adult' forum, so there's some edited language in it ;) *This is worth the read. I'm putting my e-neck on the line here.* Wow, tonight scared the **** out of me. I came home from school early because this is exams week. I took advantage of the...

    Comparing my Lexus to an '06 Cooper S

    This is copied and pasted from my thread on the Lexus forum. "I have a '95 SC4 with 44,000 miles on it and I'm the second owner. Great condition, but she has her flaws that stick out to me(I'm extremely anal). I did plan to have her repainted by next Summer anyway, though. My sister is...

    Anyone ever use the Sony CyberShot?

    My parents are probably going to pick one of these up for me. 4.2 MP and $200, I believe. Any info? Goods, bads, alternatives in the sameprice range? Thanks, G.A.

    I met Adam today.

    I guess one of my bosses contacted Adam's people or the other way around to have the resident paintwork guy I work with do some sort of infomercial for Adam's products. I was the only person of the whole group who know who Adam was. Anyway, long story short, we met him today and he's a...

    Going to hang out with Robert Plant tonight.

    Yup, my Dad got me lawn seats to the concert tonight, and then today my boss got everyone VIP/Backstage passes. Should be a cool night. I've heard some of his new album, and I can't complain. It's still very Zepplin. What do you expect though? He wrote all the Zepplin songs anyway :p

    MAMM On 7/2/05. Who's showing up?

    The Mid-Atlantic Mega Meet is June 2nd in Woodbridge, VA. They're expecting 600+ cars and around 1,000 people. Anyone else plan on going? I'll be there hanging out with the SC/Soarer group :D Maybe we should just hold the VA meet here instead of my place. I might be able to pack the 20'x10'...

    When was the last time you saw a bounty on a fish?

    http://www.dnr.state.md.us/fisheries/fishingreport/snakehead.html The Chinese Snake-headed fish. A top breed predator fish in China, was introduced to a Crofton Pond in May, 2000. They are able to live out of water for up to three days, and can walk from one water supply to another. They...

    What's the possibility of matching 10 year old metallic paint?

    Hypothetically speaking. What's the possibilty of being able to match a 10 year old metallic paint? I assume that since the original paint has aged, buying the same color from the factory won't look the same. Is this correct? TIA,

    Who are the elusive "Dot" and "Spy vs. Spy"?

    They haunt the Autopia chat room like the souls of long gone little boys in Jacko's Neverland, yet they never say anything. Who are they? Are they secret moderator spies, trying to prove the immense perversion discussed in the chat, or are they just people who forgot they logged in? We...

    So I got good news tonight.

    I'm driving up to PA the week school gets out to work on my uncle's '70.5 Camaro. The plan is to pull the wheels, bumpers, and trim and strip the 35 year old lime green paint. Then we'll spray on a coat of primer and bring it to my other uncle's [in law] body shop to be painted. This is what...

    4-Lo 'N Go. My Appalachian Adventure.

    Dad and I took the TJ up to George Washington National Forest this weekend for a few days of fun and relaxing wheeling. I got 3-4 hours of seat time driving on the trails, and we took a shi*t load of pics. They tell a story, so I'll skip right to them. This is right before we made the ascent...

    Closing time. One down, seven to go.

    Ah, the summer is upon Virginia Beach City Public Schools. Today I breezed through my first exam, which gives me more time to worry about my seven others. A reflection on the past 9 months. I washed a car: 47 times. I posted on Autopia: 1,127 times. I illegally drove my car with my...

    So the Lexus guys tell me the best mod for my car is...

    Browsing the Lexus forums, researching power and handling mods for my '95 SC400. I find that the overwhelming advice from the Lexus owners for my car's first mod is the "sell the 4.0 and buy an SC300" mod. As some of you may know, the SC300 comes with the same 2JZ-GE 3.0L I-6 as the N/A MKIV...
