Got the codes out this weekend while my dad was working on the rear end of my Bronco. 22 34 51- Irrelevant, i know why that one is lit.\ So, they pretty much confirm the problem areas I was going to look at to begin with...

Aside from the price of slugs these days, i usually prefer them over shot. Shot puts lots of little holes in things (unless you're close) but slugs put real nice big holes in things.

It's not very recommended. at the very least, you get an undesirable shot pattern. Much wider than you'd want, plus there are potential issues with the wad. Although, M500s are very customizable. Barrel swapping is very easy.

Just to clarify for everyone. The only reason I haven't done anything is that my garage is currently unheated and exceptionally cold... Intent was always to fix the problem before starting anything new, I was just laying out some future goals as a sidebar.

S. Darko, +1 on seeing how awful Star Trek is going to be. Although, I said that about Casino Royale...

I would say I'm about 95% sure. Most of the turbo/intake plumbing was checked over and redone as necessary in August when she unexpectedly became an NA. Cracked hoses were my first thought and the first thing I checked, but it was by flashlight. Once I took it apart at home, I didn't really...

IIRC, the frame is not original but was repaired properly. The guy knew what he was doing. Frame is solid all the way around.

Update: Carbs came in a while back, they have since been installed and seem to work fine. the 240 seems to be suffering from a tank of frakking awful gas at the moment. Car seems to be holding all of its bodily fluids well enough, but I can't get over how positively archaic everything looks...

I'd be interested, but I don't have a Benz/BMW to trade... And even then, I'd only trade the Benz :-p

I can't believe I haven't even pulled codes yet. I am pretty useless, I guess, seeing as its taken me almost 2 months so far and all I've done is put it in the garage and pulled some of the intake system off. I was incorrect before, there is no shaft play evident in the turbo, and the...

Blind Man's Bluff- Sherry Sontag/Christopher Drew. Submarine espionage. Very relevant to my interests. Yeah, it's nonfiction, I know.

I have seen far worse. that dude is lucky.

That's fantastic. If I had a spare hood or any skill I'd try something like that. Keep up the great work.

Really depends on the trip. I get about 21 combined (most of my driving) and 28 highway at ~75.

After approximately 5 years of knocking AR-15s, I finally bought one over the weekend. It was more or less an informed impulse buy, if there is such a thing. Smith and Wesson M&P150R. Flattop, 16" bull barrel, EOTech 512. These things are kind of fun. I'm done hating them.

I didn't think I was actually going to do it, but I did. Marched off to my gun store and bought Sheila. Sheila is the 14th rifle to join my family. I can now officially arm my entire street. Sheila is a Springfield Armory M1A Standard, with all the goodies that come with the Loaded...

Well, I picked up my Storm yesterday. Couldn't get the .45ACP as no one in a 250 mile radius had one. My local gun shop and emporium had a shelf of .40S&W available, and on sale. Picked up an EOTech 512.A65 that they also had on sale, and they mounted the picatinny rail and EOTech for free...

with regards to 7.62x39mm- ~1000 rounds for about $250 from ammoman.com. I need to pick some up for my SKS.

Christ those are fast... Unfortunately I agree with those above me. The speedometer in my Mk3 is off by 5-7mph in the 70-80mph range according to my retarded TomTom (Garmins are better if you happen to be in the market, btw). Its partly a liability thing on the manufacturer's end. If the...

That thought did not even cross my mind. Thanks for the tip.
