    The boys are coming home from Iraq

    We have gained nothing? How does 6 years of no attacks on American soil sound? Sounds like something to me, and definately not nothing you purport it to be. You call names like Nazi, yet you know nothing about the subject other than the name. The United States of America is not the...

    The boys are coming home from Iraq

    How about this for reality. More US citizens die on the highways every year than in any of the past 5 years of war we have been involved in. (And it's close to the number of US troops that died in WWII.) We don't go around bitching and complaining about the death and distruction on our...

    Republican or Democrat

    I'm hoping that sensible people across the USA will look around them, notice that the unemployment rate is as low as it's ever been, our economy is growing nicely, we have not been attacked by Radical Islam in this country since 911 and our kids are getting a better education in school while...

    Republican or Democrat

    I'm conservative in so many ways, but I'm also liberal in some others. Therefore I'm not going to subscribe to any party, but more to the idea that I vote for lower taxes, less government and the right to drive more than 55mph anywhere I see fit.

    Parts car.. 56k warning 20pics!

    Looks like the left quarter has some serious body filler in there. (Cracked out bondo.) With the left door being off a marroon Supra, it's possible the whole left side has been repaired at one time. Why did he pull the door trim? Also why screw up a MHG by leaving it laying on the car...

    Going all out now, More supra than supra

    Ok, simple enough, ARP bolts are not just hype. They are cold rolled threads v/s cut threads. This leaves the bolt stronger due to the way the threads are "put" into the bolt v/s cut into them. (At least that's what I've been told, and it makes sense metalurgy wise.) The material used is...

    Major brain food for the (Blown Head Gasketeers)

    To spoof our friend in the black suit with the red lightsaber... "Boost 21psi with detonation, and your composite headgasket will be complete..." "Most Impressive..."

    for those with a rattle in the trunk

    High density adheasive backed foam is your friend. Two layers of this over the old stock bump rubbers ended my squeeks. When it wears out, I just pull them off and cut some new ones. (They stick on fine, but in about 6 months, get compressed to the point where they need to be replaced....)...

    Major brain food for the (Blown Head Gasketeers)

    Ok, so I too ran around on the stock head gasket, re-tourqed to 72lbs, and it was holding 20psi fine... then some detonation on a cold morning, and it was gone. (And of course, that had to be on the trip to Vegas... :) ) So, some detonation now on the metal one, and it's not gone. Cheap...

    Thinking About Using Spray Sealer on a MHG?...Might Want to Read This

    The Greddy MHG I used had no viton coating. It had no coatings that I could see actually. I've used this gasket now on 4 motors, and it's been clamped down 5 times. Four times we used brake quite, and one time we used hylomar, and none of the times has the gasket leaked at all. This last...

    PS Hose Size?

    Well, most braided stainless line is rated higher than the 1500psi, but only when used with the right fittings. :) Clamps will not cut it for long at those pressures in my experience. The return size on the PS is AN11. I use Earl's pushlock hose with clamps off the valve covers, and I...

    ROFL funny ad!

    Oh damn, that's funny! Sad part is, it's true. Kissing our enemies asses has resulted in nothing but proliferation of world wide terrorism during the Clinton era, and we are paying for his lack of leadership now, and will have to deal with it for decades to come. People blame Bush for...

    The end of Formula One as we know it.

    What is too bad is all the regulations on F1 racing. Let them use active suspensions. Let them use traction control, ABS etc. Let the computer drive. Let's get back to serious power, AWD and monster downforce at insane speeds. All this technology filters down to "regular" cars, thus the...

    Drifting isn't the ballet of driving..... this is!

    I like that KTM 950 in the background when he completes the run.... Nice Morgan 7. (Not a go kart, but not much more than one.. LOL) I like this. It combines skills you would use anywhere with skill in learning the course, and knowing your car's ability and limits. (Never a bad thing for...

    Hmmm, accident on friday.

    1) You tried to acclerate, lost grip and then spun/slid into another vehicle. 2) Your 100% at fault for this. 3) Best you can hope for if you have to go to court is your principle saying the weather was really bad, and he did not think you were trying to show off or anything stupid like that...

    Well I am an idiot

    Call a lock smith. Or find someone with a slim jim. (Flat bar type tool that allows you to slide the lock bar over, if you know where it's at.) I don't know how the door lock looks inside, but someone here might. I know on some cars you move it sideways, and some you pull up, or push down...

    wtf valve cover wont stop leaking!!!

    Small bead of "the right stuff" layed around the inside of the rubber gaskets and covers will stop most leaks. Also put short beads along the edge of the front cam caps where they meet the head. (The inside 90 corners, there are 4 of them.) This is a common leak point. You should have layed 4...

    What to eat while sick

    Sorry, could not restrain myself... :) Seriously though, get some sleep and dont' eat noodles. (They suck to throw back up... get stuck in your nose and all.. I hate them the second time around... LOL) Take two multivitamins with your meal too. And some vitamin C. It can't hurt.

    Oops, I guessed the wrong show. (No downloads at work!) Rat race is funny, but that part about the SS Camaro was dang funny.
