    Need Quick help tranny/starter bolt

    Dude, put a wrench on the tranny side, slide extensions with the bolt extractor I linked to in from the front of the engine, below the alternator and above the AC compressor. Keep adding extensions until you can get a ratchet on in front of the alternator. If you have an air impact, pull the...

    Sub solutions advice

    Boxes with parallel surfaces like that suck. Bigtime. Boxes that are small enough to fit between the Targa mounts and the spare tire, with surfaces that are enough out of parallel to matter, don't exist for a reason. The spare sucks too - I suggest replacing it with an AAA membership. Cheap...

    its worth a try...

    What, other than a virtual stranger asking your for money without a stated reason over the internet? I'd rather spend my $1 getting a hot Russian bride to strip naked and play with herself over a webcam, thanks. At least that way I feel like I've spent my money on something tangible.

    F@$K win vista

    May not be up to Linux standards - yet - but it's a whole lot better than what's available for XP. There's a bug that makes it rather difficult to install Adobe Reader with UAC disabled, too. Is it worth chucking the entire OS over? No. At least not for the vast majority of the installed user...

    Jack Thompson being found gulty of 27 charges?

    I'm really of the opinion better the devil you know... this guy really hasn't caused the games industry any damage that I'm aware of, and he's so obviously a lunatic that he's unlikely to in the future. If he is forced to stop his lunacy, he will likely be replaced by someone who does a better job.

    Maybe... as long as you keep away from ad skipping tech, that eats a fair bit of CPU cycles. Remember, you're going to want a second tuner card in short order, too. I didn't last long before the wife's complaints that she couldn't watch one channel while recording another got through to me.

    Which Supramania members have helped you the most?

    DrJonez convinced me to buy swivel headed ratcheting wrenches. I say thank you and nod my head in the general direction of Detroit every time I pull off my turbo or downpipe. IJ. has been more than a little bit helpful over the years as well, even if nothing in particular sticks to mind.

    Nice! What did you use on the floor? I'm looking to put something over the raw concrete in mine...

    Poorman's alt relocation!!!!

    An electric water pump would solve your problem there. Add electric fans and you can keep cooling your engine even when it's not running. As long as you have battery power, anyway. I'm with Adjuster on the Alternator mount though, I'd be concerned about tensioning that system and expecting...

    Free online storage space for files???

    How much space do you need, how many files, for how long, and what transfer protocol do you need? Why not just burn to CDR?

    Look what I got today!

    It doesn't get very hot. Nothing like the black interior bits, anyway. Use the black sticker, the others are kind of bland... needs some contrast. Nice knob, by the way, I have the same one.

    NEw SUPRA

    Idle Speed Controller. The boost leak checker is easy to build and just as easy to find instructions for building one here with a quick search.

    That only erases BIOS passwords, won't help with the windows account passwords.

    ever think to yourself.."who does that?"

    Meh... I drive with the windows down in the right lane most of the time, enjoying the scenery. If someone wants by me, they are welcome to pass. Gotta say, folks, screwing with the guys suffering from road rage will eventually get you shot at or run off the road. It's wrong, sure, but being...

    F@$K win vista

    Oh cripes, here we go with the M$ bashers again. Vista is not 'crap'. Vista is new, and needs more hardware than XP did. It also needs more hardware than Win98, Win95, Win3.11, Win3.0, and Win386. Big surprise there, folks. :rolleyes: In my house, I run Vista, XP, & Ubuntu, on several...

    Anyone ever built a garage from scratch?

    Costs will differ depending on area, but any local general contractor will be able to tell you a figure in $ / square foot, and it will be awfully accurate in my experience. They can figure in finished or not, and break it down to materials and labor if you want.

    Thrust Washer, what happens when it goes out?

    Just put it in neutral, let the clutch out, put it back in, and try reverse again. According to the user manual. :)
