    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    I finally am very near to completing my first AR(thanks jdub for some pointers). I just need my stock to complete it now, until then it is the naked butt AR. Nothing fancy. Yankee hill machine lower, DPMS parts, spikes tactical trigger guard, spikes buffer, magpul MOE grip. Spikes tactical...

    PS3 video issues

    I don't see how it can be an over heating issue because it happens right on start up. Unless it was an overheating issue that damaged the GPU. Re-applying thermal past in this case I can't see doing anything. My previous PS3 had YOD and from my understanding that is when it over heats and some...

    PS3 video issues

    He said it starts out ok with minor background artifacts then in a matter of a minute it gets un-viewable. Like he will start it with the settings reset and by the time he tries to go through the setup it's all artifacts but some text remains clear. I wish I could actually see it not just...

    Punctuality, where has it gone?

    I am a freak about being on time, I would rather be stupidly early than be late. I actually had to meet someone recently and I was 5-8 minutes late, I felt embarrassed and kept apologizing. That's the only time I've been late for something that I can remember in years.

    PS3 video issues

    A buddy of mine has a launch day ps3 that is just starting to act up and thought I would ask around for any info. He says the video distorts and just shows color artifacts. The backgrounds and stuff are just unrecognizable but usually the text is clear. He's reset all the settings and tried...

    Considering NA-T

    Well I would call your situation unique and you got lucky. For me I've had my supra for over 8 years now I think, I don't want to scrap it and start over. Nor do I want to buy a donor vehicle only to transfer parts over. I want to add to it, I don't really care what it started out as. I've...

    Considering NA-T

    I'm not going to debate what is better. However, the parts I'm gathering would all be needed if I were to just swap the motor. I mean there's nothing really I am getting Extra to avoid the entire motor swap. All the parts I need to go na-t would be needed if doing a full motor swap. My motor...

    Considering NA-T

    I was hoping to just bolt stuff on I didn't think the motor needed pulled to drill and tap, sucks. I may re-think my na-t with pulling the motor it may prove easier for me to just dump a new motor in.

    Considering NA-T

    Speaking of Na-T, I'm planning on it and gathering parts. One thing I'm wondering about is the oil feed and return lines. I haven't gotten a chance to take a closer look but are the holes in the Na block already? Will they need to be drilled and tapped or are they in place with bolts in them...

    Lexus sc300 eating oil...

    Compression test and not a leak down test? I will check the PCV for any clogs and such. I should also note, the coolant looks perfectly fine no sign of a BHG and the oil also looks totally fine.

    Lexus sc300 eating oil...

    It's NA 2j I forgot to mention that and it's bone stock. I park it in my garage and there's not a drop on the floor. I was thinking of adding UV dye to the oil to track a leak if there is one. Also no smoke at all that I can see. I was going to have the ole lady drive on the freeway and I...

    Lexus sc300 eating oil...

    Ok, we got the 95 sc300 and it's been awesome with a few minor issues here and there. However, this oil lose issue has me confused. It doesn't leak oil anywhere that I can see. No drip spots and I've been under it a few times and see no sign of oil leaking. The oil level will stay Full for...

    What The F$#K is wrong with the youth these days?

    "Excuse me bad ass 11 year old girl, I need to put my combat gloves on so I can hit you." In reality I think that is a poor self defense choice. They are just gloves, punching someone with them is not going to make a big difference. That thin layer of CF(much like the motorcycle gloves they...

    What the hell is going on in Arkansas?!

    Finally, maybe some zombies will come out of this. Zombie birds or fish, I just want some zombies to shoot.

    Gran Turismo 5: Supra 3.0 Turbo A Drift Setup

    Not to ask the obvious but you've turned off all the assists right? I have no problem sliding my mk3. I drove a rally race with a default car and forgot to turn off all the assists and it was like trying an AWD glued to the road. Turned off the assists and I was sliding around every turn with...

    Gran Turismo 5, anyone?

    I finally got gold on whatever the first round of courses is(beginner or amateur). It wasn't difficult as much as trying to find the right cars for each event in the used lot. I wish they made it easier to find a car for each event like maybe an option to browse the car selection based on the...

    DNS issue or ISP issue?

    As mentioned in the first post, it does it with a lot of smaller sites not just supramania. I used supramania as an example but it can be any number of smaller sites, ones I go to on a daily basis or ones I've never been to. I can browse a site just fine and suddenly I can't load a page within...

    DNS issue or ISP issue?

    I've changed the DNS settings on each machine and the router. That application is windows only, as mentioned I'm running all macs. It's still confusing to me that the problem isn't persistent, it comes and goes. I could see if the problem is all the time then it could be my setup but when it...
