    New laptop time

    The time has come for me to buy a new laptop. My current one is a Dell Inspiron 6000 that I got for high school graduation about 6 years ago. It runs like crap when I use anti-virus software and contracts viruses when I don't. Also, since I handle most of my finances and book keeping on my...

    Wireless network help

    I'm trying to set-up a wireless network in my new house. Windows makes it pretty easy if your router has a USB port. Mine doesn't. I do have an ethernet cable hooked up which is how I am on the internet right now. How do you set up a wireless network without using a USB flash drive?

    Computer Guys Look Inside!

    I'm a Firefighter/EMT and our ambulance has a Panasonic Toughbook in it. It has internet and a GPS program and both work great. The problem is the Toughbook itself. When it gets booted up the "Panasonic" screen comes on(with the "press F2 for set-up" or whatever) and then the screen goes blank...

    Idea for a little project car

    I've been thinking about doing a 4e-fte (1.3L Turbo Starlet motor) swap into a Tercel as a good MPG with a little pep project. Maybe eventually putting a CT-26 on it. I've seen engine/trans combos for about 1k. Plus how hard would it be to find a Tercel rolling chassis? Has anyone here done...

    Would threading a bolt into the EGR hole in the back of the head suffice as a block off, maybe some high temp RTV under the head of the bolt?

    Fuel Pressure Drop after driving.

    I installed a Walbro 255 and Aeromotive about 200 miles ago. I noticed that FP at idle with the vaccum line attached is right around 30psi, but after driving for a while I checked it again and its down to 20psi. I got the opinion from a local performance shop owner and he seems to think that my...

    Beware of extremely cold temperatures and high winds!!!! This happend when my car was just sitting outside for 2 days! I haven't even driven the car with the SunShade on! My best guess is that the 3M tape I used got some water on it and froze. Then when a wind gust came up, so long sun shade...
