Re: Set up your own CNC shop

After spending ~8 hours in front of a Bridgeport today, I've started contemplating learning CNC again, as well. I used to have access to a Mazak Nexus 410 and a much older Mori Seiki of some sorts with 4th axis at my old job, but didn't have time to learn anything more than setups, solving some wier...

Re: V6 exhaust?

No stress on the exhaust... Lolololololol. I have what amounts to a 20 lb muffler hanging from a super tight donut bend, which in turn is hanging off the rear manifold, all of which expands and contracts like crazy from the heat cycling. The hanger springs are almost there for decoration. I'm surpri...

WTF? Damn, I knew he was in a low place after the thing with his girl, but I always thought he had come out of it... That sucks.

Yeah, stunting on the streets of heaven, hopefully.

Proof positive that crack does not smoke itself. The RX8 is one of the ugliest (and slowest) cars evaaaaaaar, in stark contrast to the RX7.

Re: Cap and Tax (trade) legislation coming up for a vote FRIDAY

Yeah lets bend over a few more domestic industries (and indirectly, us) in the name of environmentalism during a massive economic slump. This is right in line with the spot smog checks on the side of the road here in LA, which depending on which story you read is either to punish you for being too p...

Re: 3.4 DOHC Timing Belt

Yeah, just remember not to time all the cams straight up, and lock them all down like that. I believe there is a faulty service guide which tells you to do exactly this. As others have said the banks are timed 180 degrees apart (or, one full crankshaft revolution). If one bank has the flats up, the ...

Re: Let's talk the Motorola Razr

I've been packing an LG VX-8600 for the last couple years. I liked the blacked out, clean design of the thing, which is what caught my eye at first. It's a standard flip phone that's sort of razrish, but not so needlessly thin. I've dropped it on concrete, rocks, dropped then kicked it/tripped over ...

1994 Quad 4 HO + Getrag = obtain. More after I recover from heat exhaustion, dehydration, and not having eaten all day.

Re: Ammunition, where to find for cheap?

If A-Rod is planning on using it on an LE practice range, they may require factory loaded ammo for safety, etc.

Buying 9mm and .40 Short and weak cheap nowdays? Good luck, Obamania has fucked up ammo prices bad. 7.62x39, the epitome of cheap ammo used to be 100 per 1000, now its like 400 bucks.

Re: Quad 4/Hybrid Swap For Fun Commuter?

I'll consider myself lucky if the drivetrain is still there, and even luckier if it's still whole this weekend. With some help, I should be able to grab that bitch and put it aside to build up on a cradle till I can get my other car down here. Going to go check on like Friday to scout it out. I foun...

Re: Quad 4/Hybrid Swap For Fun Commuter?

I hope that motherfucker is still there on half-off day. If so, I plan to grab the engine, box, wiring, and ECM. Hopefully I can build it all up on a cradle and pre wire and plumb everthing. So what's the deal with the chain tensioner? Do they sell only the redesigned one nowdays and it's a nonissue...

Ok, quad guys, I found a whole 1994 Quad 4 HO in the local yard here complete with box. Oil looks ok, and box goes into all gears more or less... Going to see if I can snag it in a couple weeks if its there during the half off sale. If anything, it has all the wiring and parts. I imagine this is one...

Re: osha bullshit

Sounds like a classy joint - right up your alley.

Speaking of smoking, from what I know, a lit cigarette won't ignite fumes or vapors, but lighting it up (open flame) certainly will. Ever seen a cigarette put out in a bucket of gas?
