Here`s a good fuel cell if you plan to make a road trip with less than 10mpg. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6763&item=2401839072&rd=1

Less MPG just means you need a bigger fuel cell.

Nason does have two stage paint as well. The guy that does all of my paint work really likes the way Nason flows. He says it`s an excellent paint for beginers to use. It also cost less for a repaint if you do mess up the first time.

Have him tell her that he doesn`t want her to leave her family, and that he will move to Russia for her. Then see how long she sticks around.

I`m sure a competent defense attorney could sort throught he BS with each one of the students under cross examination. If all of their storys are worded exactly the same and sound rehearsed, they could be dismissed as incredible. If the story is fabricated, someone will slip up, but IF their story holds up, and He`s convicted. I think he should be strung up with a meat hook through his BAG.

I remember from an earlier post by 1fastz, that he was looking into a way to eliminate the companion flanges and adaptors. Possibly using the Q45 outer cv`s. I thought maybe that`s what he had done.

I`ll bet this A$$ HOLE gets less time than Larry.

That really BLOWS! For someone with no record to get more time than some violent offenders or even some child molesters. Have you contacted the NRA for assistance or guidance? It would be a good idea. Maybe even send your case info to one of the more conservative media outlets, and try to get some national attention. They may be able to elaborate on the absurdity of this to get you some public support. Good Luck,(and watch your back ) Denny

1fastz, do you have any pics or details on your r230 install? I`m planning this swap too, but really want to get away from the weak stub axles.

Well, I`m done with dinner now. Thanks for the help with my diet..

Excellent story. I`ve got some pretty good stories from my younger days,but nothing anyone under 21 should hear or read.

I have a new set of those flares in my garage. I wasn`t exactly sure how they would look installed. IMHO, Damn Nice I`m not positive but I think that front air dam is the same one I have on the way too I might as well buy a 240 and make a clone of it. (since I have the parts)

I might as well throw some forged 11:1`s in while I`m at it, and since the heads will be off, I guess I should pick up some aluminum Pro1`s.

The engine was assembled by one of the most reputable shops in the area, so my concerns otherwise are minimal. I just didn`t want to tear the whole thing down if I didn`t have to. As it sits, all it needs to run is a the carb and distributor. DAMNIT

The 383 that I have was already assembled when I bought it. It has already been balanced. Now the problem, The engine has a stock gm harmonic balancer on it. I want to change to an sfi approved balancer, possibly a fluid dampener. Are the balancers typically weighted differently? Could I take the balancers to a machine shop and have them balanced to match? Or, will I have to have the entire rotating assembly rebalanced? I`ve never had this dilema before. I`ve always taken everything to the shop and picked it up when it was done. I would rather be safe than sorry.

That`s what I was wondering. I was hoping they could balance one to match another without having the entire rotating assembly.

I wonder what the IHRA rules are on this?

I don`t see the fairness. The front drivers that are running sub 11`s have independent suspension. Why should rear drivers have to switch out what came stock on their cars? A failure of either would just as troublesome.

Look in your local paper for auctions. I`ve bought most of my tools at them. ex, I picked up a complete 1/2" drive craftsman set,(7/16" to 1 1/4"shallow and deep sockets, with ratchet, T bar, and 3",6" and 12" extensions for 20.00 They were a little rusty, so I took them to sears on the way home and exchanged them all for nice shiney new ones.

Sorry Mike, I confused some of the input from one of the other post with yours. I read through them too fast.

I have to agree with Mike. (on most points)The exception is, I believe that unless it`s unavoidable(death, physical abuse), A child has the RIGHT to have both parents in it`s life everyday. It is the most selfish thing anyone can do to have a baby with someone, and think that a few bucks and visitation every other weekend makes them a father. I know it`s not always avoidable, but you and your current girlfriend have the obligation to DEAL with whatever problems and shortcoming you might have, for the sake of the baby you will have together. The emotional well being of your child takes precidence over any other "feelings" you might have, and that requires two loving parents involved in his/her life on a daily basis. I suspect that your ex girlfriend is overwhelmed by guilt and that being away from you is a way to escape that. "out of sight..out of mind" My point of view is coming from the father of two small children, one three and one two month old. There have been times that I`ve been away from my son for weeks at a time, and he went through terrible separation anxiety. He would literally plead with me not to leave. This tore my heart out. When I would come home he wouldn`t even let me leave his sight because he thought I might leave without him knowing. I guess what I`m trying to say is.. It`s ALL about the kids. Everything else takes a back seat. Get counseling or whatever you need but sty together, at leaste untill you child is out of school. If you don`t think you can stay together forever. get you bag snipped so you don`t have anymore kids. Then you can get out in 18 yrs. My .02 "Just think about your baby"

Look very closely at the finish inside the rod end. If Your rods were resized, there should still be a crosshatch pattern, (the same as you have on your cylinder walls) if so, you will be OK. I`d just hate for you to have to go through this all over again. (20/20 hindsight)

if you truelly SPUN the bearing, I would strongly reccomend replacing the rod. my .02

The cheapest and easiest would be to replace the entire diff. might as well go lsd while your at it Diff replacement is a fairly easy job that can be accomplished with basic hand tools. I see no reason why you couldn`t do it yourself. Most garages will charge about 50.00 hrand spend at least 4 hrs + parts to repair your existing diff. Or... you could pick one up at a junk yard for less than a hundred and either put it in yourself of have a shop do it. It shouldn`t take a shop with a lift more than two hrs(even if they pad it a little) to simply swap out the diff itself.

Female bidders beware, if you plan to bid read the fine print. At the bottom of the description it says, "will only operate for two minutes at a time" HHHMMMmmm You know I could really use some extra help around the house. Shipping sounds reasonable at 6.00
