    Craigslist driver scam....

    So a friend at work has been looking for a part time job on craigslist of all places. He found something and was telling me about this awesome new job he found. The ad was for a guy who lives out of the country and is coming here for several months and will need a driver 3 days a week. He will...

    Auto to Manual Conversion

    I dropped just the transmission based on some sound advice from SM members. Looking back I don't see why people would pull the entire motor and transmission together... ---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 PM ---------- I wouldn't bother with an entire...

    I appreciate putting all this info out there. Even if their product was awesome I wouldn't spend any money buying their stuff just because of this guys attitude. I think he picked the wrong guy to try and strong arm though...

    thread pitch for bleeder on r154 slave cylander?

    Thread from beyond the grave: Does anyone know the correct size for certain? I tired searching and only came up with people "Thinking" or "Guessing". I'd like to order a speed bleeder but don't know the size and am not in a position to measure mine, any help would be great.

    Odd nioses and rough idling

    Get a short length of heater hose(held to your ear to narrow where the sound is at) and try to figure out where that screech is coming from. Maybe pull the upper timing belt cover and check the belt. It might be on it's way out and skipped a tooth and also causing the sound? That's how I would...

    Installing new calipers, pads, and rotors

    I'd throw on a set of speed bleeders while it was all apart to make the bleeding easier.

    Auto to Manual Conversion

    I used several sites, it seems some are offline now which sucks. Real basic step by step. Another good thread. Clutch install, part 2, but it's good to get more visual as what you'll be doing. It's not bad once you start, just stay organized and don't rush anything.

    Is it even worth fixing?

    At least you know what you have and what's wrong with it, why sell it and start over? The wiring harness is no big deal to swap out and throw a new(used) head on and go from there. The paint can come later once it's running right.

    What drugs/head injury prompted your Username?

    My name came about back when I first started playing quake(and marathon) online. I played some local multiplayer and was about to venture into the online world for the first time. I knew I was going to suck and wanted a name to steal the fun from other people when they were killing me. Kinda...

    Best BOV ever?!

    This is the type of thing that caused me to stop using ebay like 10 years ago. Every now and again I'll buy something but only if I have major positive feedback from people I actually know. Otherwise I avoid ebay at all costs, it's a flea market allowing the cheapest, crappiest, most dishonest...

    Stupid People, or am I just being mean?

    They cracked a few pieces of the trim piece off, it was already a bit chewed up(maybe someone tried it before I owned it).
