lol! fuel cell in the box in the seat

It's in the engine bay, actually. haha!

Yeah, but not everyone likes Mozilla's layout, nor do some members have the knowhow to switch browsers. Let's face is, most of the internet today is oriented around internet explorer.

My friend lives in a town home that he rents, so he has a garage that contains his rx7, his mustang that is parked right outside the garage (there's no driveway, just a small court that people drive on). So the only other options are to park on the street. The street adjacent to him had rows of cars going all the way up the block. There were a few spots across the street, so I parked there. You also seem to forget that I *DID* ask him if he wanted me to move my car. He declined. The rest is his problem. Has has a driveway that had an empty spot in it, and a car (not mine) blocking the access to the driveway. Tell me where the common sense is. I suppose I won't know the feeling until I own my own house. Of course, I'd also own a house that has a long driveway myself.

Yeah, but if they stripped your lugnuts, they should be the ones replacing them. Not you.

I can hook you up with a logo for now!

I go to my friend's house today to help him out. We need to go pick up an engine, and drop it off in his garage. I park my car across the street in front of some guy's house. There's a t-bird with ghetto bling bling rims parked in front of his driveway (his daughter, I think) blocking the path. I park legally, within 18" from the curb, not blocking any access to/from his driveway (the ghetto ho took care of that). I've been parked there maybe 15 minutes, we walk out to go get the motor, and I stop by my car to pick up some tools. As I'm closing the trunk, this slackjawed hick with half of his teeth missing, and half pleading for a quick death, comes up to me. "Hey man, you can't park here. It's my spot." me, not wanting issues from someone who's probably his own uncle, reply with "Do you want me to move my car?" "Nah man, but that's my spot. It's in front of my house" ok. now what? I offerred to move my car, he declined my offer, but he's being a [drunk] shit about it. me: "Well, it's a public street. I'm legally parked and I am not obstructing any of your entry ways and access points" pause. use of more than 1 syllable words apparently hinders his ability to process responses in a timely fashion. him: "Well, uh... y'all gonna be parked here for long?" me: "no, I'm going to pick up a motor, and I'm going to be gone by 8" him: "Oh, well, y'all parked in mah spot. That's where I park my truck" Ok, if he's here... and I'm not intoxicated... where's his truck? Oh, right. Not there. me: "As I said, it's a public street, I'm going to be gone before 8pm anyway, and you don't have your truck here. I offerred to move my car, you declined, now you're giving me shit for parking there, yet you don't want me to move. Your call" him: "oh, ok. I was worried you were going to leave it here overnight" BFD! I've done it before, it's a ******* public street. I'm not sure if he was in drunked stupor or sober, I sure as hell couldn't tell. I also didn't know dumb redneck white trash lived in that decent of a neighborhood

nope. didn't work. 30 minutes, and i'm logged out.

you're what, 18, 19? How the hell can you afford all that? heh. me: neon r/t, 240z, sold my yamaha crotchrocket a while back. at one point i had all 3

still an ongoing issue. this is really really irritating. Dan, would you care to respond?

Yeah, that's kind of right, but I was looking for a little more semi-gloss. It's near flat on that header though. Are there any other alternatives?

hey guys, I'm redoing my engine bay (it's half black half orange, so I'm stripping it an coating it with por15). I'm familiar with por15, used it on some other stuff, but has anyone had any experience with the engine bay paint por15 sells? I'm running a rotary, and the thing makes 1400* at the exhaust ports, so things get really warm. I'm looking at this stuff: black velvet, 1200* http://www.por15.com/product.asp?productid=268 other high temp paints: http://www.por15.com/subcat.asp?id=4 However, I don't want to use aluminum, grey, or gloss black. I'd like to use semi-gloss black, so woudl regular por15 stand up to the task?

The napa store by my work has older guys (all over 35) working there who really know their stuff.

That's weird. I know that datsun driver side springs were 1/4 or 1/2" longer to compensate for offset weight of the driver. Compare stock springs when you pull them out, maybe?

speedbump!

dude, your Z will be faster than mine. Remember, no torque of hte line, no boost until 4krpm, and my torque curve will look like the peak of K2. It's not going to be TT because turbos won't clear the frame rails. I'm towing it to mike's shop on saturday to get frame rails sleeved and reinforced, and mount the motor with professional grade motor mounts. Then I need to pick up a turbo (still figuring that one out) and start finishing this.

aux's coworker vs. dumbass employee: this woman comes up to helpdesk, looking for our coworker Thom. He's not there. She walks up to my coworker holding a blackberry (pager/email device with complete company address book) and says "Hi, Thom isn't there. Can you page him for me?" coworker: you can page him yourself, i'm not your secretary. her: *walking away* that was very rude I'm pissing my pants laughing in my cube, can't believe he just said that. But I can understand where he's coming from: there's this dumbass holding the device capable of doing her request that she owns, and she wants him to do this. We have receptionists that are paid to page people. I also get very agitated when people call the main line and ask to speak to a specific person. Dumbass, call their direct line!

"hi, can i reserve a tow dolly to tow a car for saturday?" -no, we can't reserve them "You mean to tell me they're first come first serve?" -kind of "that's retarded." -well sir, you could come by saturday morning and check if any are available. We can rent you one now, they're available now "That's great, except that I don't need it for 4 days prior to saturday. Just saturday. You can't guarantee me the use of the dolly, and I can't get one, so... *click*"

actually, fl327 suggested plates of EL WANK. I was thinking more along the lines of FLM TRWR

clearing cookies didn't work on 2 machines, and on a fresh machine that has never seen hybridz will not retain login info. input?

check if your lugs are overtightened.

Is the lambo giving the finger?

7000rpm. valve float. top stuff goes boom first.

no, those are jsut generic radiators designed to fit a chevy. But, since jtr guys can adapt them to be used with a v8 by using a $50 bracket and some fasteners, I think this is a much cheaper alternative. MSA's prices on lots of things are outrageous. $500 for an aluminum driveshaft? $460 for an aluminum radiator? Looking at the picture, is it me, or is there a possibility of stress cracks because aluminum is more brittle than copper?
