1500quidporsche posted:Bilstein HDs are honestly the best bang for your buck. I went from concussions being a legitimate concerns in TSD rallies at 30mph to running over washboard gravel roads through corners at 50mph no issue. Unfortunately Bilstein doesn't make anything for that car from what I can tell. A little looking around at the distributors I use brings up a reasonable amount of stuff though. Shocks in order from cheap to expensive kyb gr2 (meh) Skunk 2 sport shocks (not sure what those even are) koni orange str.t tokico HP koni yellow tokico HTS Then eibach prokit is probably your best option for springs. coilovers that don't suck in order from cheap to expensive ST (these are pretty cheap and similar to the kw v1) progress KW V1 KW V3 Anyway, I try not to get to spammy around here so if you want to talk about it more or would like pricing send me a PM or email.

Rhyno posted:There's about 100 wind turbines right over the border in Ohio and the land and farm owners in Indiana are locked in a legal battle trying to get them torn down because among other things "it interferes with crop growth!" or some bullshit hick nonsense. What the gently caress. Farmers here love turbines - because they get paid plenty for access to their land by the power producers. I read that each turbine was 1000+bucks a month to the farmer - with some places having 50 of the things, that's basically gold for the farmer right there. Land's still good for farming poo poo, you still get bucks either way from hosting the turbine. Yeah the farmers protested and made up bullshit to deny access originally but once one farmer pulls up with a new car at the pub and his debt is disappearing by the day, the rest wised up pretty loving fast and got on the money train. I think down near Goulburn south of here, one farmer basically won the lottery and has 160 of the things. Plenty of other farmers around the world have wised up to this too and been offering their land for turbines. If you are a farmer with anything close to a clue, you would be talking to your local utility and asking to host as many as you can. You dont lose much working land, you gain a steady income.

bandman posted:Koni FSDs are supposed to provide great bang for the buck if they are available for your application. I think LloydDobler has them on one of his menagerie of Volvos. I like the FSDs enough that I put them on two of my Volvos with standard lowering springs that do about 1" to 1.25" drop. Eibachs on one car, H&R on the other. That said, I rode in an early 00's Audi A6 with Koni Yellows the other day and I liked it a ton as well. My friend who was driving it said it was too soft for him and he'd already busted an oil pan on the ground hitting a dip or speed bump or something. FSDs are less sporty than sport shocks but more sporty than standard shocks while being very comfortable in general. And they make the cars handle great. The third car has Bilstein HDs with cut springs and I think it rides the best. But it only weighs 2400 lb. Truth be told it's probably hard to go wrong with any of them.

Wandered through Wal-Mart to kill some time. .... noticed their T8 shoplights (2x4ft 32 watt) were priced at $4.50. Took one to a register. Yup, $4.50. Snagged both of them. Don't know why so cheap, but I have an ancient shoplight in the attic that uses unobtanium 48" 25 watt T12 tubes, and only barely flickers anymore. Dunno if it's just a pricing error in that store, since they weren't marked clearance, though they're marked down to $11 on walmart.com. They're crappy Lights of America fixtures, but so was the (15+ year old one) I just pulled out of the attic.

It's two thousand and loving fifteen and my four man project group is currently failing at manually coordinating who updates the project status shared word doc when. The only consoling factor is that it isn't an Excel sheet. I weep a single tear as I hug my Trello board.

I finally got around to watching the final episode of Top Gear last night and goddamn. That was maybe one of the best episodes I'd seen in a long time, maybe the best they ever did. For starters, leaving aside Jeremy's grumbling at the very beginning, they all seemed to be genuinely enjoying it. The two "films" were in the style I loved best: buy cheap old vehicles and go do stupid poo poo with them, breaking down from time to time. The classic sports car thing was great, although I swear for their "buy an old car" episodes they go out of their way to find something that'll break down constantly. I was honestly shocked that Hammond came in last on the race at the end, given that he had the best vehicle in the best shape and had more experience driving offroad (of course the outcome may have been pre-decided) And, best of all, they didn't have a "star in a reasonably priced car" segment! Shame it took them until the last episode to drop that bit. they also didn't have the bit with the newest supercar or whatever at the very beginning, with the wanky "intern just got his hands on After Affects" videography. Other people probably liked that part, though

Magnus Praeda posted:That's cool. Though if one isn't otherwise involved in either wind power or ranching, there is zero reason to ever find oneself in Judith Gap. It's not even really between two otherwise interesting places. Perhaps you're going from Billings to Great Falls though. Also go ahead and go to Lewistown for a Hot-n-tot at the Dash Inn. It's like a cinnamon soda.
