  1. Whats wrong with that happening?? :) Yeah I havent heard of the studs breaking, only problems related to high torque Ive seen are more about the drivetrain.
  2. Happy birthday! Does this mean your over the hill, or was 40? Or is 40 the top of the hill?
  3. Yeah wouldnt a flexible steering coupler bushing only "absorb" the quite frequent bump or jar of the steering system. Instead of the steering wheel jerking a little in either direction the coupler just stretches/twists alittle, leaving the steering wheel in one position? (optimumly)
  4. Wow, good looking car and great craftmanship! Im not sure what car Id replicate... I always loved the daytona coupes but you can already buy them as a kit car.
  5. Is a civics underside the same as a fury's... no... Just use your welder to make your own.
  6. Guess it would have been good to get one that fits... thats to bad.
  7. What do you have to do? Is it "name the first president" kind of thing, just alot more in depth?
  8. Well I dont think they would just drop but they would be able to adjust the prop pitch to in a way reverse thrust which slows them down prettttyyy quickly. Im sure theyd have to bulk up the landing system because of the stresses involved in landing on a carrier and accelerating (negative) so quickly. The f14's and other Navy planes are litteraly dropped from like 10-15 ft. and are required to stay intact. Saw a video on discovery on it, pretty interesting.
  9. I like the exhaust/intake manifold.
  10. Looks like a gtr to me... and GTR=Ugly, although its nicer than the gtr.
  11. Seems like everyone on hybridz is going to be an ME. Me, you, austin (isnt he?), xxjoeyxx, rustyfriend, 74_5.0Z is one I think, and theres a bunch more, seems kind of popular.
  12. Thing I noticed was that it seemed like the strut was almost just sitting in the spindle. They really didnt look very strong...
  13. I have to agree, parting it out wont be worth it... Its value is in the total package. The only thing I can see parting with is possibly seperating the engine and body, but I wouldnt let the body panels get seperated.
  14. Yeah, I was so happy when I saw Jays car. We have the same ford grey and black trim, just his car is finished... I cant wait till I get zg's and wheels. Just take your time choosing colors/styles and youll have a sweet car.
  15. Im guessing its just mig welded? What gauge is the metal.
  16. Thing Ive always thought about was how long was it between the gas engine and the previous significant engine. Say the electric, or steam. I figure there will be the same amount of time or more inbetween the invention of the gas engine and the next revolutionary invention. Anyone agree...
  17. Yeah you meet some interesting people on flights, especially international. But this does reaffirm my ability/desire to become a ME. If he can, anyone can!
  18. Anyone ever see the c130's they had outfitted with rockets to take off within 100yds? I believe it was during the iranian hostage situation.
  19. Keep the bike. You can get alot nicer (cooler) Z for $6000.
  20. Check out the 2+2 sticky in misc tech. Alot of good pics of 2+2's.
  21. Not all 2+2's are ugly!!! Yes people that put a compete body kit on a poop brown 2+2 end up with a ugly car but if you take the time to plan colors, accents, wheels, spoilers, etc like any other coupe owner youll have a GREAT looking car.
