    Depends on how much help you have to drop the head on... the only thing it adds is weight.

    I need a job.....

    Good call. And you've got the right attitude about the job - best time to find a job is when you are already working. You still have lots of time left before you settle into the career you'll have for the rest of your life.

    lost egr cooling plate gaskit HELP!

    I wish... I bought a special super low profile ratchet set - one like this: http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200199074_200199074 It didn't work. I ended up using a 1/8" drive regular ratchet and grinding the socket down to about half depth. That was years ago, and I, too, still...

    Same here. I bought a special set of tools *just* for this job. It still sucked.

    I need a job.....

    Even so, there's plenty of positions where military experience is an asset and driving isn't a requirement. Border guards come to mind - not sure about the policy in the US, but up here, military personnel can basically count on a job at the border. Armed security guards too - although I doubt...

    hood lock got stuck

    Yes, but it's no fun... you're looking at removing the oil cooler, intercooler, some of the IC piping, and probably the horn from under the car, then you might be able to get access to the hood latch if you use ky jelly on your arms and do your best boneless octopus imitation.

    I need a job.....

    Depends a lot on where you are going to be living. Real Estate costs are the single largest part of a home budget. Food / transportation / utilities / services don't vary much from place to place. That and Single income vs Double income, and children. I pay more for daycare that I do for my...

    I need a job.....

    The transfer from military to civilian life is one of the tougher things in life. Some generic advice: Try talking to some of the guys who have already done it - I know there are some on here, even. Admittedly, things have probably changed at least a little over the years, but it's still...

    Help: 1jz bursting couplers, HOT IC pipes, high IAT's

    What kind of couplers are you using? You shouldn't be able to burst reinforced silicone couplers. Timing shouldn't have any effect on intake temps. It would help if you could get an actual temp on the intake piping - realistically, it doesn't have to be much above 100 before it's untouchable...

    Illuminas not the only struts/shocks compatible with TEMS?

    There are various ways to keep cabin adjustable suspension on your car... Tein makes remote servos for their coilovers, for instance. IMO, shocks are a set once and drive kind of thing though. I have adjustable coilovers, but after the initial setup I've never touched them.

    To The Fucks Who Tried To Break Into My Home, On The Fourth

    Instinctual... wolves are bad, dogs have been helping humans defend against them for thousands of years. There's no laws surrounding wolves here, so the authorities don't know squat. Furthermore, there's no way LEO / Borderguards / Homeland Security / whatever is going to be familiar with your...
