  1. 8:54 Going on another New Castle Brown Ale.
  2. I had to have one custom made too. I got it for my birthday.
  3. Justin, on every set of FACTORY installed brake discs I've had to gently heat them with a torch to get the disc off of the hub. I've ruined a few wrenches and a few bolt heads trying it various ways, with a hammer-wrench etc. Heat has been my only friend on that part. On getting the hub off of the spindle, I've used a puller before, and all you need to do is just get it started and it will fall right off. If you don't have a puller, use a smaller ballast hammer if you have one and tap it in steps. I wouldn't reccommend winding up and blasting it. Turn the hub 1/4 turn and give it a firm but loving smack. Repeat. If it don't come loose, then hit it a little harder.
  4. You and your angular momentum...... I love Douglas for sand tires, thats for sure.
  5. Bring your scuba gear if you're going to Venice.
  6. I'm also slightly lactose intolerant, so you can see the twisted downward spiral that could occur should someone show up with a case of Klondike bars.
  7. I knew he'd bring this up. Here goes....... I'd shit in my hand and rub it in my hair for a Klondike Bar.
  8. Waterski?
  9. I'll agree to that. Especially mid may and june when little sahara is getting hot. Although I LOVE the 4th of july at sand mountain. Typically we'll go to St A just because its about 10-15 degrees cooler or more in some cases.
  10. Fuckin wire wheel can throw a bolt like a major league pitcher. Good list!
  11. HAHAH!!! A bit limp wristed eh? Maybe he would have done better if you had a twist throttle.
  12. You were spot on up until that point. WOMEN typically use them for dishes, cleaning ovens, etc. I got your back. And with the Douglas wheels...Even at .190 aluminum they are still not as tough as the stock rims. I think the stockers are .250 or more in thickness. I think its ITP that makes some tough and damn good looking rims. Not cheap is the problem.
  13. I'm with STCLARK on this one. Check for a shorted out wire near an exhaust pipe or stinger/silencer. Had something similar happen to me at the dunes once, and it was part of my harness. It had come in contact with the stinger and chaffed/melted then shorted one wire. Once I rerouted it, changed the soaking wet plugs for fresh plugs it started right up.
  14. Welcome!
  15. Thats what I do. Keep it just barely on the pipe. That way if I need to get shit done I don't have to slip the clutch.
  16. Whats a fuckin dinosaur have to do with anything?
  17. Great to do business with. Shipped exactly what was shown, sent it USPS priorety as well.
  18. Yes and no. You do want it flat. That is for sure. But, it MUST be perpendicular to the bolt, or when you tighten your bolt down, it won't seal because the surface is out of square. I thought of another way to get it aligned that would workout just as well as using a dowel. Tell the machine shop to use a 10mm tap, screw it into the ressy, put the whole thing in a chuck, and that will ensure the ressy is square and not tipped.
  19. I had the same problem. Using silicone WILL NOT seal it. Your brake lines are under tremendous pressure when you pull your lever. I had to stick mine in my mill with a 10mm drill rod in the port. I used that to properly align it, and get it square in the vise. Then I took a .500 endmill, and spot faced it. Worked great after that, and I learned a lesson on polishing shit.
  20. This may or may not be on topic, but I have the ability to grind carbide. Is there a market for resharpening carbide tips or are they typically ruined by the time they need to be replaced/sharpened?
  21. It will harm a 1978 Tote Goat with stock bore. Same with a 1986 Iroc. You have to tune your engine in progressive steps depending on how much nitrous oxide you plan on injecting, whether or not its wet or dry etc. There is the potential to make quite a bit of horsepower, and the same, if not opposite potential to ruin your engine from the top end all the way to the crank. Try the search feature. There might be a few threads on this site with the information you need/are looking for.
  22. I love them too. They must have had a midget change the plugs on the mock up at the factory (with the transmission out) and they said "Yep. They can be changed." I went to flush my radiator on my 98 full size a month ago. I can't reach the drain plug because its covered by a bunch of shit like the fan shroud and hoses n shit from the top, and I think its covered by some cross bar or something on the bottom. I can't remember. Its fucking rediculous. No wonder my local GM dealer wants $400 to drain and flush it. Maybe if GM cuts their employee benefits a bit more they can provide a better vehicle or whatever.
  23. Like the others have said. Most doctors just hand shit out like candy with very little testing other than "feeling any better". The difference between being in a pissy mood due to your environment and having an imbalance somewhere is a big deal where some sort of measurement or observation needs to be made. My wife went to a doctor for some kind of skin problem. By the time she left the doctor had given her 3 different perscriptions for happy meds. WTF? Apparently it was his brilliant guesswork in his little white coat that determined she had some sort of anxiety causing her acne. Well DUH!! She's a fucking accountant and she's married to me. I'm surprised she hasn't tossed her self in front of a bus. All she wanted was something to make the acne go away, not put her in a fucking haze. Im not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV or in the bedroom (other than amature gynocologist) but I'd lay off the happy pills, perhaps check out a psychologist/marriage counselor, and go get a physical. Specifically have them check your testosterone levels. The main point is to determine if its environment, or biological. I know most of my mood comes from my surroundings. Stick me out in the sand for 3 days with some friends and I could give a fuck less about anything else. Put me back in the shop and after10 hours, I'm to the point where I could strangle the next person that walks through the door. Thats why 2 hours at the gym every night after work is a must for me. If I just sat here I'd go nuts thinking about the days events.
  24. LOL If its the latest generation model, I don't think I even know someone that can get to the rear 2 plugs. My wife had a 94 Camaro and after I looked at it, my dad looked at it, we took it to her dad that runs an engine shop. He said there was no way to get to the rear 2 plugs without pulling the motor. So we sold it with 6 new plugs and 2 factory plugs.
