    Scored a new (to me) ride

    I'll have to take a look into the core. I've read up on people flushing them out to try and fix this issue, but a lot of the same info also says it doesn't yield results. I figured the cores were hard to swap because they're so cheap - at $35.00 a pop there had to be a catch. I'm sort of hoping...

    Scored a new (to me) ride

    The little heads up mileage counter says it is averaging 13mpg. I just sold the '74 Dart that got 12, with a 318, that we drove around all the time, so it's essentially a little better. This car is comfortable, and the 3rd row seats are perfect for the life at the moment. I'm so far really...

    Scored a new (to me) ride

    I was prowling craigslist for a while for a family type car, and finally sold the '74 Dart to my best buddy, who is going to love and restore it - and not cut it up. Anyway, I was looking forever and a Durango caught my eye, but it was an hour and a half away in South SF. I took a chance and...

    K&N, Spectre, AEM all the same?

    I'm asking if one of the three owns the other two, or if there are more than just this in the grouping, but each company "designs and engineers" their own product. I remember several years ago K&N sued Spectre for some kind of wrongful competition, and false advertising. Did they purchase...

    Need a Custom Metal Worker HELP

    All the stuff's back from paint, so here's some paint **** for ya. We matched it to the colors of leather that are going in the boat, so it's a "cream" and "tomato" red. It looks... so nice. I think all of us that did work on the dash pulled it together, and Hills Rod and Custom made a great...

    Need a Custom Metal Worker HELP

    It wasn't the way we original thought of -no. We had to make a different approach to it, to make it feel more like what attempt would have been made in 1947. The original dash would've been bought brand new straight from Cadillac or Gm to be made to fit, so we looked at it as a "what would they...

    Need a Custom Metal Worker HELP

    We got the filling and body work done, drilled out the large 2 1/4" hole for the WWII surplus magneto, and Put in two holes for the original Ivalites, which are like car spot lights, but controlled via a cable with a longer reach, and were often installed on boats. Then we took it to the...

    Need a Custom Metal Worker HELP

    Well we found someone, if anyone was following this, but Hills Rod and Custom in Pleasant Hill handled this one, or rather the retired owner, his son now runs the place. He had previously built this Studebaker (I believe it is) into a woody, based on a Foose drawing, and it looks... beautiful...

    Need a Custom Metal Worker HELP

    We've been looking for a Hotrod builder nearby and can't find anyone. We did have someone named Don Brazil (brazeo?) who was supposed to come look at it and supposedly works magic with metal. We saw one of his trucks he made in person and it looked very nice and well done. But have not heard or...

    Need a Custom Metal Worker HELP

    So, a little about me and what me and my father do, is basically: We restore antique wood boats - mostly Chris-Craft, Hackercraft, Century, etc... We have been building a 1947 Hacker-Craft that is almost one of a kind. The only larger example of this style hull is the Thunderbird at Lake...

    I HATES Windoz HEIGHT!!!!!

    It's bad. Every time I've tried to locate the key for 8, basically all the information you come up with is "there is a key." and that's it. Never tells you what it is, not even with magicJB. It was a good $270 purchase I made from BestBuy for that copy which is now apparently blacklisted and...

    I HATES Windoz HEIGHT!!!!!

    Also I don't see how even with windows 8 the drive is not recognized. I'm assuming if it's the HP computer's primary drive, then it should at least be FAT or such. If you have it attached to the SATA input on your MOBO and nothing popped up, I'd say it's just a toasted drive. Is it saying...

    Huge change in my life coming :(

    My divorce was literally finalized just yesterday. We were seperated for a year or so before that. I found it went awful in the beginning just being all pissed off and such, but after a little bit, I realized I was always going to be better off without. Unfortunately my kids are 1 and 3 years...

    97 honda cbr: wats it worth?

    I've seen those in the same year set go for around 4k, and usually have more stickers. But they also usually have less than 10k miles on them for that. This is based on them popping up in the California SF bay area. They are also usually stock.

    Street Racing Tragedy

    Nope. I sure as hell could not. You can throw money and resources at someone all you want, but none of it will bring their kid back. No matter what, you deprived them of the one thing supposed to outlive them. Having 2 kids that are still babies to me, I cringe every time I see anything along...

    Street Racing Tragedy

    When I lived in Bremerton, Wa - they had a air strip that they closed down friday nights, had police on standby, and allowed people to race on it. It kept people from getting antsy in town. I think that could be done almost anywhere and solve a bit of it, but it won't keep people from doing it...

    Getting An Ear For The Blues...

    My personal favorite. If you're a guitar player, and know what a turnaround is for blues, this song contains my favorite turnaround to use, right after the word "beer." http://youtu.be/BIvka3SSv9Y

    Sweet. The one on my rig is a 12g 1.5 tera 2g graphics card and a bluray drive. And it's hooked up to the 120". I keep building them for friends and family. I just built an animation monster with 16g ram, 4 terabyte storage, and 2 2g graphics cards in crossfire, w/bluray and every kind of drive...

    Show me your theater and I'll show you mine

    Wooo these are dirty! I like it. I used to live in the Seattle area and got all my parts from a local a/v store in Silverdale. I forget what it's called. I have always done my own installs though. I'll go full frontal now. I used to have a much nicer receiver till someone spilled their drink...

    Any smog techs here?

    The cat being gone is an immediate failure over everything else. I specifically bought my '68 because I have received almost every failure for smog imaginable on all my other cars. I even got the no-gas-cap one. If it's after 1975 and was supposed to be air pumped, it will fail immediately too...

    unemployed.

    One of my older friends always said that there were "parts changers, and then there are mechanics" and he refused to let me diagnose something simply by changing out this or that. He is an excellent mechanic, and has always been able to help me with anything, and since i met him, I have never...
