    How easy does your car shift?

    Mine's a struggle into 2nd and a little tough into 3rd when it's cold and perfect into the others until everything warms up. If it's over 50 or 60 degrees when I start it up everything's great in all gears right from the start.

    Strange Problems

    Overheat + bubbling noise probably equals blown head gasket. Time for compression check and leak down test. Speedo/trip odo = bad speedo cable Turbo missing a "spoke"? New terminology to me, but if you've got turbo problems time to talk to MDC Motorsports about setting you up with a...

    Heated Sideview Mirrors? Well I'll be!

    This morning I hopped into my dew covered '90 and hit the rear window defog, rolled down both windows to clear them and saw a significant amount of steam rolling out of my side view mirrors. My immediate thought was smoke, but it was pretty clear it was steam. The mirrors cleared right up and...

    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    The good news is that even though your dominant eye has a lot to do with right or left handed shooting, it is possible to change your eye dominance; just cover your dominant eye for an hour each night while you watch TV. I have always been right handed, left dominant eye, but my left eye is...

    Da89Soup's ???????? thread!!!!!

    So now I get a chance to see the pics... This is the BEST build thread ever. Thanks Ryan!!!! Since you finally showed us a pic of Lynette in post #8, and since this is a build thread, maybe you could combine the two? You know, have her work on your build, get her all grease covered, and...

    I can't see the pictures at work. :cry: But I know what he's planning. :naughty: I can't wait to see it happen. :bigthumb: BTW, hey Jay! I haven't been around too much lately, so I'll check out your build thread since I've got a little catching up to do.

    Jon, it sounds like you've got the light and mid calibers covered. Time to step up to a .45! I can't get over how sweet that 1911 is to shoot, and I've been carrying it a lot. 5" barrel or not, that thin profile works really well in a belt holster and an untucked shirt. OOS, I forgot to...

    weird problem

    If you have coolant leaking into one or more of the cylinders through a blown head gasket then misfires and stinky smoke seem reasonable to me... :dunno:

    60mph Vibration

    Mine was a rear caliper that was hanging up, and caused the same kind of vibration from 45 to 65 mph. Check 'em out.

    Quieter Please

    Two options: 1. Tanabe Hyper Medallion 2. HKS Dragger I've heard them both, and they are really quiet compared to any other 3" systems I've come across.

    So here's what I got: Taurus PT1911 and Ruger 22/45 Both for $820 out the door. Not bad, but not quite as good as I hoped to do. I picked up a nice leather belt holster and a Bianchi gun belt while I was at it. The 1911 is everything people say it is and more. In spite of a...

    So are you in HS? If not, what type of work do you do? What would lead Jon to believe you're 16 and in highschool? Your reaction is typical of a 16 year old. The fact that you aren't just saying you're underage and have an interest in guns instead of trying to cover it up brings your...

    Why the MKIII?

    I've wondered the same thing. :dunno:

    Why the MKIII?

    I shopped around for a rwd turbo for a while and came down to a couple of choices. I know there's a lot of negative comments on the 944 Turbo, but damn it handles well. I always loved the looks of the last gen 300ZX, but the TT's were too pricey. And then there was the MKIII Supra: Sport...

    POLL TIME! (For the Supra drivers). :-)

    There are exactly two things that are pretty much always with me: 1. A quart of Mobil-1 10W30 2. One of my pistols :) What else could I need?

    Graduate School :)

    Congrats Meggs! I wasn't ready for the real world yet and I LOVED grad school! Since you're an ME, is a stipend part of the deal? If not, get working on finding a company to fund your project because even though I sure didn't get rich, it was great to have my tuition paid in full and...
