  1. Alright guys... I have a saved file on my desktop from when I did an Excel 2007 spreadsheet of my money. I go to open it again but it needs a program to open it with (brings me to "Open With/Choose Default Program" screen). At this point you should say well duh, Excel 2007, but thats not an option on the list: So I click "Browse" and navigate to the folder which contains all the Start Menu shortcuts which would be "C:ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsMicrosoft Office" and then I chose Microsoft Excel 2007. So I think all is well however: However! If I go to the Start menu and open a blank Excel Spreadsheet, then go to "Open File" and navigate to the one on the desktop, it works fine. My own thing is that I don't want to do that process every time, I want to be able to double click and have it open. Suggestions?
  2. Lets just say.... throwout bearing is a carbon ring... Hahaha
  3. Yah I guess it all depends.... The base plates to the dizzy really matters too. I had to hobble mine to make it work the way I wanted. I think if I remember correctly, I actually lengthened the slot a little bit to allow more adjustment. Also, some of the dizzy's/plates barely allowed for any adjustment... And for Zatsun, if you have a spare motor or parts, see if you can get your hands on another spindle. Chop the gears off and you can slide it down through the dizzy side of the timing cover. Get it engaged in the oil pump and then hook a drill onto it. This way you can spin up the pump to see if it is getting pressure. Now of course, you will have to drop the pump again when you go to put in the proper, geared, spindle. Also be sure to prime the pump with oil or pack it really well with grease. That pump has the suck oil from all the way down the block. On my first start up we were getting risky because the electric gauge is so slow and we still had no pressure. I went to get a hand pump you use for like filling transmissions with oil, stuck it into the oil pressure sensor hole and pumped the galley up. All this was due to me not packing the oil pump and the galley before hand so it was just sucking air.
  4. Don't worry about the timing when you put it in. The position of the rotor shouldn't matter at all. When the manual has you bust your balls to get the rotor in the 11 o'clock position, its *almost* in vein... Reason being, when the rotor comes around to each point, it doesn't give a damn whether that point is cylinder 1 or 4 or whatever. Just be sure to put #1 at TDC compression (where #1 is sparking). Insert the shaft, put on the dizzy. Now at this point refer to the picture: If the rotor is pointing in the 2 o'clock position then designate that "prong" or "point" or "plug", as #1, then just follow the regular firing order in the counter clockwise position like so... If its pointing to a different prong then just arrange the wires so they're in the right order, easy. Don't lose sleep over like... what position its in. The only time you would have a slight "problem" is when the rotor points between two prongs. In this case, if you choose to designate the prong to the right (clockwise) of the rotors position, then your timing will be retarded, however, if you choose the prong to the left (counter clockwise) it will be advance. You can readjust by twisting the dizzy obviously. There should be plenty of room for you to get it back to zero, however I doubt you will have that problem at all. I had this happen to me, I readjusted, and I am still running 35º of advance with plenty more for me to go if I desired.
  5. Well.. I'm only... 19! Woohoo today is my birthday! But seriously, in this order: Way-To-Go crib, first ride Sister and I in tractor, Dad's Spitfire in the corner First time on two wheels, sweet ride dawg Go cart for a couple of years Courtney (sister) and Dad in his TR3 and TR4, of course he promised me I could go on the club rallies, but then he sells his car. He's prone to spending like 5 years building one and then selling it after a month of enjoyment... '68 BMW 2002 which will never get finished but is supposedly meant as a track car for me. A "step up from gocarts" And finally my baby Z. I love her, and no, she doesn't attracted girls because she's a loud pig. Stinky, loud, and usually uncomfortable, and I wasn't listing the characteristics of a pig!
  6. Here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dl6e3mYCIu8
  7. What kind of marinade...? I don't get it. XD I have a video of the neck explosion too. So funny because we were like "HEY DEER STOP MOVING" and the damn thing wouldn't stop even to that...
  8. Any dried out water pump and thermostat housing gaskets = leak when filling up and running. Easier to just add antifreeze... And I'd hate to hear any arguments condoning the motor runs too hot to run antifreeze... because I don't believe that, ever, unless in the middle of the desert and you're running a 240 2 row radiator.
  9. Well, that was an interesting trip. I got to try out everything at least once, except for shooting a deer since I don't have license of course. Bought 300 rounds of .22 and had some fun with that. Kyle let me shoot his 9mm handgun along with his CZ .270, wouldn't let me shoot his daddy's 44 mag and I don't blame him. Last thing I needed to do was ruin his fathers old gun. Apparently I was bad luck because every time we went out something like the feeder would break and then we would have nothing shootable come in, not even piggies. One dude was going nutso on beer and candy so he shot himself a little piglet. The damn thing still had milk on its lips. He then proceeded to shoot a jack rabbit which pretty much splattered. These hillbillies had a trailer they were too lazy to haul away so we filled it with gas and burned it... Finally this morning we went out, again the feeder broke, Kyle was getting edgy because he really wanted a buck before the end of the season. There were some 4 pointers but apparently nothing "good" even though they all looked good to me. I was blood hungry, I wanted to see something explode with gore. Kyle finally settled for a fat doe. The damn thing wouldn't stop walking around even though we were shouting at it and when it did stop, it lifted its head so Kyle didn't get the head explosion shot he usually takes but rather it hit the middle of the neck and proceeded to explode out the top. We went down to go get it, first time for me, I'm trying to stay clean but he PURPOSELY makes me grab the front legs. I didn't realize the damage until we lifted her up and she dribbled some love onto me. Kyle then made me gut the deer. I saw his family do one the night before and they had some latex gloves. Apparently Kyle is a messy child and he doesn't use gloves, thus he won't carry them. I begged for us to go back to camp and do it there and he refused so to my despair I had to do the job with bare hands. It actually wasn't bad at all. Nice and warm so I was like oh hey now my hands aren't so cold. We cut it open, then we cut up top through the esophagus and use that as some sort of demented "handle" to pull on and slice the membrane connecting the guts to the ribs as you go down. While pulling, I think I designated the lungs as the handle... and they tore off... I felt bad but then I remembered her neck just exploded so meh oh well. An interesting thing to see is the guts steaming on the ground. Quite weird. Have some pictures, none are of me because it was just Kyle and I and both our hands were bloody. I'm sure he wouldn't mind using the camera and getting it all nasty, however I do mind.. Close your eyes if you don't like blood: Notice the messy boy with no gloves, of course its Kyle. Lol its like Texas chainsaw massacre. I laughed when I saw the piggy strung up because I had no idea what it was until I saw the skin and head on the ground. I also laughed really hard when I saw the buck head strung up like its some sort of war zone and you're showing off your kills.
  10. I'm going to wind up bringing the 10/22 and the Rugar MKII. I don't want a dump of money into noncompetitive target/junk shooting. I didn't know we had two shotguns. First time I've seen and held a 12 gauge. Not really a shotgun dude but it was pretty cool, and big!
  11. Well that can be just as bad in my mind... I would think the torque of the bolts would retain it unless if it started coming up between the bolts and warped/bubbled the head in that area. Of course, as per his list, he will know if that happened when he does his leak down, or when fluids are mixed, or if he's burning oil, or if fluid is coming out from the head gasket area. Thats why I think his list of things to do is pretty sound. The list diagnoses multiple things that could have occurred if it froze.
  12. Oh yes. Hey man I'm just saying it because an S30 has been tormented already. Yah?
  13. I just opened up the door to a whole new level.
  14. Drop the whole idea all together, because its a horrible thing to do to a car. Unless its a S130 Hahaha I mean... Sorry guys!
  15. The sad thing is that I thought I was the only crazy dude on here that would post something like "Nooooooooooooooo its down!"
  16. Your list seems logical since any cracks on the outside would be visual. The inside, you'd find fluids in places where they shouldn't be. My only worry is that what if the block somehow distorted so now you will have some weird wear problems. I find this hard to conceive though since you have the head torqued down along with the bottom end too.
  17. Inefficient drinker, that should be your new title. http://www.realbeer.com/edu/health/calories.php Mr. 10% and lower alcohol content.
  18. This is on his boss's dear lease. He said I can't shoot any dear obviously but hogs in Texas are open game for ANYONE and other than that, what would I shoot? Squirrels, small birds, cans? I'm not interested in bringing home tons of pork, so killing a hog wouldn't be proper of me anyway. The Thompson Contender sounds like it would be fun to shoot because its like a short barrel with a rifle stock but its a single shot gun which I guess would help preserve going bonkers on the shooting but meh. I'll just buy a brick of 500 .22 rounds for like $25 and be set for like 3 years of shooting. I got this gun when I was 16 (18 now) and shot it once... Of course I will jump on this offer. The only thing I hate is its 10 round rotary mag. They make banana mags but they are all plastic except for one of them which is metal and costs $50... I've heard horror stories of the plastic mags breaking, jamming, never working out of the box, etc. Oh well, I don't care if I only get 10 shots and then I have to reload another mag.
  19. I'll drink it but it tastes like ♥♥♥♥. Why not be more efficient, take less fluid with the same affect = win
  20. No I meant $80 for gas in the Z. hahaha But you do have a point, I need to stock up on alcohol. New Years is coming up and I absolutely plan on grounding myself at a friends house. Kyle said he would be my alcohol sponsor. List of deliciousness: Everclear Cahlua Rum Tequila Whiskey (I'm cheap so forget that) cheap champagne cheap wine cheap champagne mixed with cheap wine List of horribles: Jagermeister Beer I'm going to look like a total noob with this plinker gun. These dudes are out there shooting deer while I'm like shooting a mouse from 5 feet away. Dumbbbbbbbb
  21. Uh yah... I don't know how that even happened. I guess I'll be spending man time with my brother in law. I believe the dialog went like... Kyle: Yah so we'll head out 5AM Saturday, come back for breakfast at 9AM, hang out for a while, go back out around 3PM and come back when it gets dark. Me: Can I shoot ♥♥♥♥? Kyle: Yah just not deer Me: All I have is a Rugar 10/22, like every other 10 year old boy on this planet Kyle: ... you can shoot one of my guns if you want Now all I can think about is me sitting in a shade for multiple hours on end, not saying a word "waiting for the perfect kill" Oh god. He said he would be sure to kill something so I could gut it though. Maybe I'll have a video for you guys afterward. Right now, the only thing thats going through my mind is me spending like $80 on a weekend... And its not for ammunition either... Should I spend another $20 and get 20 rounds of .223 for my dads Thompson Contender or should I be a jerk and leach off of Kyle? All our firearms are like Colt .45 goldcup, Rugar MKII .22 pistol or something, a shotgun which is really old, our 10/22's, Thompson Contender chambered for .223, 2 grenades, 3 trip flare things, and a 30mm round which I don't even bother to question. Oh and some firecrackers and stuff... I think... I should leach... because everything but the .22 is expensive... :/
  22. He's not even in a DeLorean. Lameeeeeee Big-Phil, you have to calm down with the posts. I refuse to allow you to profit off of me viewing your videos, despite the fact that I still look. You're just that cool. Please excuse me while I go replicate all of your videos, but with a totally different car. I will be back, with rain driving, "big cam", wheel spinning videos. Actually cross out the wheel spin part. Thats embarrassing.
