    My Motor Carnage pics!!!

    A poor spark condition would not cause the issue you've shown. Poor spark creates an incomplete burn. I'd start inspecting wiring. The injector itself could be in 100% perfect condition, but if there is a short in the wiring harness, the injector may fire intermittently and cause a lean...

    My Motor Carnage pics!!!

    Here's a clear picture of a piston/rod from a MKIV that has been given the same treatment. This what he's seeing that you can't clearly see in the crappy cellphone pics. Melted 2JZ-GTE Piston: And yes, that's molten piston sprayed all over that rod: The only thing that will cause damage...

    Another cop with authority

    No, but in this case he should have escorted the people to the hospital... Zero tolerance, zero flexibility and zero humanity aren't qualities I want in a government agent with a gun.

    Acceptable?

    Completely unacceptable packaging for an item like that. Even padded with some old newspaper it probably would have come through fine. I'd have the seller buy you a new cover.

    Joining the Army National Guard

    Microsoft certs are a "nice to have", but the market is flooded with MCSE's. Additionally, due to all the "boot camps" out there that teach you how to pass the test but not do the job, MS certs have become devalued over the years. It's worth getting them, but they won't really drive income...

    Joining the Army National Guard

    Since you're looking for marketable I.T. skills, I'll tell you what I look for in an entry level candidate. #1 - Good spelling and grammar. The lack thereof shows a poor level of attention to detail. Work on this. When I review resumes (as I've been doing all last week and this week), those...

    Another cop with authority

    Because those with authority and power need to be held to a higher level of responsibility. You know, how nobody cuts the U.S.A. any fucking slack at all? It's just like that. Want to wear the badge and the gun? Your behavior has to be measured against a higher standard, regardless of how...

    question on walbro?

    Stock base fuel pressure is 33 to 40 psi at idle with the hose disconnected. With the hose connected it should be in the 23 to 30 psi range.

    question on walbro?

    Here's your first problem. Get an AFPR and a gauge on it. If you can't confirm that your base fuel pressure is accurate, nothing beyond that matters.

    question on walbro?

    Read: http://www.fuel-pumps.net/walbro-forgeries.html Cliffs: It's damned near impossible to tell the forgery from the real one until it fails on you. The only thing you can go by is the quality of the seller. Don't buy from e-Bay. Don't buy from people who don't have a reputation to protect...

    Supra Forums Problem - Imagine That!

    Considering they don't even have a publicly accessible "contact us" link, I would suggest that they simply don't want your membership. SF is one of those sites that has become so arrogant in its own success that it's become a pretty deplorable mess. Face it, they don't give a shit enough...

    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    You cannot ship firearms across state lines to an individual. You must ship direct to a dealer who holds a valid FFL. Your dad can ship them personally to a gun shop of your choice, and you can pay the transfer fees (usually about $15-25 per weapon) to the gun shop. There may also be a...
