I used to have a customer who was the biggest eater I ever knew. As a vender we always treat for dinner & drinks and he would plow through his plate and start asking everybody else if he could finish theirs as soon as there was any sign at all that they were done. There was this place in...

GREAT idea, and one that I've had myself for a while now! :) I even scratched out several possible designs on paper and settled on a favorite to try, but never took it to my work bench. I can't wait to see what you came up with, and if there's still room for testers I'm definitely interested...

I wouldn't be so quick to assume bhg - there are some hoses back there that aren't too easy to reach and that have caused people headaches before, myself included. Of course if you were planning on tearing it down anyway...

$65 prepaid credit card and... A NEW JOB!!!! :D I just accepted the offer 3 hours ago. Goodbye "technical service rep" and hello "Eastern NA Product Engineer". Pay raise is right at $10k and I'll have another 10% annual performance bonus potential. :bigthumb: Weird thing is that...

Lets just see what you've got and what you've got invested when you're done, Ryan :naughty: Congrats on what has to be the most cost effective ROTM ever. ;)

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think so. The block's already out of the car, so pull the studs out, slap the front plate on, and get it milled. HKS is under $100 and milling's another $100 iirc.

$3750 car, $2400 paint/tint, $750 BHG repair (and I'm throwing it all away this winter :) ), $350 SAFC/Lex, $250 Drager, $300 3" elbow/dp/cat, $400 upholstry, $300 wheels, goods traded for CT26-57, a little more for misc. $????? for the rebuild I've started. = $8000 and counting... and I'll...

Debating? Didn't you learn your lesson? :naughty: Go metal and we should be running similar setups next year = fun at the dyno! :)

You're going MHG, right?!

If you get outwitted by a spring compressor, do NOT try to tackle this job yourself. :-p

You should be, Tanya - it turned out great! How are sales on the calendar going?

VALVE GUIDES AND SEALS!!!! 18k miles after doing my HG and blowing smoke so bad I took her off the road last week. Get it done for easy insurance. ;)

Hey, this thread wasnt an invitation to start ripping on the 7M problems, Jay. :sarcasm: You don't want me to start telling everybody how your 1J sounds like a weedeater with a turbo, do you? :biglaugh:

I bought him dinner because the receipt's landing squarely on my expense report tomorrow... um, and well, because I wanted a ride in Jay's car! Yeah! :biglaugh:

...you haven't had a ride in Jay's beast. But I have. :evil2: 450+ tuned down for street gas whp is a FUN ride! Torque, schmorque. Anybody who doubts just needs to be lucky enough for a ride. :naughty: Thanks Jay! :bigthumb:

If I grant you that he was within the scope of the law and his rights as a LEO, consider this JJ: Sometimes a person has a moral responsibility not to exercise every right or action granted them under the law. There are a lot of really crappy things that I can do to other people under the law...

Pretty clear to me the cop wanted to be obeyed simply because of his badge. He had every opportunity to prevent an escalation with an answer to the man's questions and a quick explanation that his job is simply to write the ticket based on his observations and that the traffic court judge has...

Tanya's right on this. Do you love your car? Do you give a crap about "bad rep"? Take good care of a stock 7M and prove its reliability to yourself. Deck it for a MHG, build it right for power, take care of it and prove it to yourself. It's not that hard. :dunno:

You should have noticed when you installed the Lex. I had to heat the end of the accordian hose in warm water to get the larger diameter fit. Stock AFM slides right in.

Good thing you've got the rebuild coming up quick, but sorry to hear Aaron. Is it going to be done soon enough or are you going to have to pick up something new? I've been down the bhg road once before and read a hundred threads on others, but blue smoke on idle/decel being an indicator of a...
