    I hate drunk drivers!

    Today was not a good day for me. I got an email from the sister of a close friend of mine, to tell me that she'd been involved in a serious car accident, and is currently on a life support machine in a coma. Her car was driving across an intersection when a DRUNK DRIVER in a pickup truck...

    Simply, has anyone looked into doing a swap for an A350E / A650E as used in the GS300's? Would they be likely to be compatible with a 7M bellhousing?

    Head / Block Skimming

    I know that the ideal thing to do, is to take off as little as possible - but i'm thinking - should that be 2 thou/5 thou/10 thou ? Same goes for the block - should i just get 2 thou taken off and finished at 15-20 RA?

    No vacuum to the heater control valve

    Had no heat recently, and unfortunately, in this climate, thats a no-no. The heater slider does absolutely nothing. The only way i can stay warm, is to put the system into 'recycle' mode and keep breathing. If i push the solenoid arm into 'heat' position, and clamp the pipe, it'll stay up...

    Any HVAC peeps here?

    What did you want to be when you were a kid?

    For me - i desperately wanted to be a Pilot, but after the massive accident i had when i was 7 - the likelyhood was slim at best. The closest i got, was being taken up by my Grandfather (a decorated WW2 Fighter Pilot, with over 50 confirmed kills from 1940 to 1945) in a two seat Mk15...
