I know, the thread title is a bit misleading as to a total n00b question...but, I did search (maybe using wrong parameters...I can never seem to get that thing right...lol) and couldn't find anything. I measured my head and block deck heights and it seems that I need a 2.6mm gasket to keep...

There's a reason for that -- up until 9/11, they were a part of the DOT, not a branch of the Military. I don't think they're technically military still, but they're not part of DOT anymore. Now, with that out of the way...lol. OP -- Spent 10yrs in the Navy, and while I didn't love every...

I've heard, and mind you, I have no personal experience, but I've heard that wrapping the exhaust is bad because it traps the heat in the pipes, and without any kind of barrier on the inside of the pipe (like when you Jet-Hot/Ceramichrome), the exhaust gases corrode the metal faster from the...

Note to self... :sarcasm:

Thanks guys, tonight was my first night....kinda boring, reading all the SOP stuff and all...lol. But for anyone in the medical field, looks like I'll be testing Force Triad machines, at least to start. Def. gonna work my ass off though, I really missed working on electronic equipment...

Don't we have the same pumpkin as some of the 80's/90's Toyota Pickups? If so, I thought about doing a Detroit Tru-Trac if my lsd ever goes out...

Had mine for about 2 years now, and if I didn't plan on keeping it....I would've parted it out when it got totaled a year and a half ago...then again, I almost did...lol.

Congrats Will!

That's right, I finally have me a real job...not that slingin' tables isn't honorable work...just doesn't pay that great when you're the new guy and a bunch of cheap-asses come into your restaurant to eat...HA! So anyway, got the official word today, I'm now an employee or Kelly Engineering...

Nice! Question -- do you have any close-up/detailed shots of your rims? They look really similar to mine...I've never been able to figure out who makes my wheels. Do your rims come with/need a cover plate to cover the lug area at all?

I'm running the Xecuter3 on mine, no issues. I installed it myself, too. The only thing that makes the 1.6 boards a pain to deal with is you have to rebuild the LPC bus with jumper wires...but if you take your time and are careful, it's a snap. Mine's been running fine for 5yrs with the X3...

Took me a few glances to realize that the silver car was State Patrol....LOL!

I ran Fuzion HRI's on my old N/A, good tire for the money. Only issue I had was when I slammed on the brakes, I felt like I was on skates when I T-boned the lady that pulled out in front of me, but that could've been from me shocking the brake system so suddenly. I've got Riken Raptors on my...

Made sure car was on level ground, pull dipstick, wipe, reinsert...pull again, read dipstick... It's funny, part of me wants to be offended at that question...LOL...but then, I remember -- there really are people out there that don't know how to check their oil properly... :biglaugh:

I miss Fry's....they need to come out here to CO...lol. As for Crutchfield....they're waaayyy over-priced....I usually only go to crutchfield to get info on the products, then I'll find it somewhere else a lot cheaper....

I think it left between the head and head gasket....when I got to ripping the motor apart, every exhuast side head bolt was loose....*shrug* Still trying to figure that one out...

Funny thing, I checked coolant and oil before I left that morning...everything was full...lol.

Wow, even mine didn't get that hot when I lost my oil...but then again, I wasn't runnin' it hard, either...just cruisin' down the highway...lol. Were you running a synthetic oil, or conventional?
