I don't do cheap tequila because of my college years. The smell still gets to me.

Speaking of school, I am trying to get into an online program from one of the local state universities. Even though I've taken 12 classes at the CC since dropping out and averaging mostly a's and b's, my GPA is still poo poo.
I too would like to have a time machine to kick young me's rear end, but I made my choices and now I'm dealing with the consequences. I should have dropped out a semester earlier, the last 2 semesters made my GPA go from low 3.x to less than a 2.0.

What's driving this? The amount of people I've seen get sick and die in my shop. I guess breathing metal and coolant for years really fucks up your insides.

Also, I need 401k help. Where do I even start? Should I just talk to whoever handles it for my company? I think it's Fidelity.

Let's see if the same can be said for my bus today with the oil cooler. I don't know what it is but I can't get the two cooler sealing rings to seat right, even with judicious applications of RTV around the outer circumference of the rings to help hold them in place.

Try not using rtv, use new crush washers, and lap the fittings and sealing surfaces until flat. I usually keep a small stone around for this.

Most of my coworkers and some of my friends do it. I can't find a holster I'm comfortable with to do it, so I just put the gun in my pocket when I go pick things up on Craigslist if I'm going by myself.

My wife hates guns, but I like having it after some sketchy CL encounters and all of the horror stories I've read on Facebook. I work opposite of all my friends so I rarely have someone I can ask to go with me.

Yeah I can imagine

I chatted with her and I guess she doesn't like Subarus because they look like kids cars and also because being a red blooded American girl raised in Michigan, she doesn't like Japanese cars (but is okay with German for whatever reason)

Anyways she's okay with a happy medium of hatchbacks like the Focus RS (not going to be an option for a while) or the smaller Audi wagons.

I have a few years before I need to worry about it so oh well

Aren't most of the Subaru's in that era built in Indiana? They're definitely more (north) American than anything kraut.

Does Volvo still do the rear facing seats?

Also if you get a 2nd+ gen Forester in upper level trims where everything is actually painted, they look much more grown up.
Do they still make legacy wagons? Those always looked good.

If you're planning on buying something older that you'll be working on, get something you can actually work on.

You never pay in advance for repairs. I had my roof done this year and that was one of my top questions when taking bids.

1. Show me your license & insurance.
2. Do I pay before or after?
3. References.

The one I went with was 2k more than the cheapest but met all the requirements. You don't want to be liable if some chucklefuck falls off your roof and you never pay in advance.

gently caress. I should have asked for more advice beforehand. They are insured/licensed/bonded and I heard about them through a family friend who is a contractor. He heard about them through his long time roofer that couldn't take on the work with all the hail damage that happened (they were only working on roofs they had originally done and were swamped).

I think it's fair to put down a deposit for some of the parts up front. Otherwise it's easy for the person doing the work to end up in the same situation. "oh, I don't like this, it's not what I agreed to. I'm not paying."

My thoughts exactly.

Well they finally called me back (the secretary did, the owner is too chicken poo poo I guess? I was calling his phone...), and claims they had an issue with their supplier this morning so they'll be by later to drop off all the shingles.
We'll see if they actually show up.

Friend has a garage AAA, I have all of the tools. Over/under on him telling AAA that he just bought a shitheap VW then using AAA to tow it to his place, where we do an engine pull?

He just has to call, say he broke down, and that he wants it towed to his place, not a shop. They then ask him for make model and color, and then you wait. AAA might ask if you need a jump/battery/gas I usually just say I'm going to fix it myself.

He has to be there when it is picked up.

It won't be a problem with your bus, but when it's something hard to load and they actually care (like my IMSA GTU 240z), I'll tip them.

How terrible of an idea is something like this?

If all goes well, we'll have a nice chunk of our debt paid off next summer (everything minus house and her student loan), and the wife and I are thinking of getting something old and a little different. We were thinking of old American cars but prices are absolutely off the wall for nice cruisers.

It can't be all bad right? I would imagine other than the body and interior, they probably sourced parts from bigger marks right? The idea would be to install efi and an updated AC system and just cruise.

The head was flow tested; standard 28"Hg test, etc.

Some dude just rolls up and goes "yeah, that ought to make 225hp" out of nowhere. No context, no reasoning, no indication where he pulled 225hp out of his rear end from. Like these are the same people where you post an A/B dyno graph, and the response is "yeah, well I feel like the slower thing is actually faster".

OK, I got that last part (why do you still go on m.net again?), but at how many inches of lift was that flow number at? I'm actually pretty interested in seeing how it flows, because that's pretty low.

Hmm

InitialDave posted:

The engine is RR's own (all-aluminium V8), but the transmission is a TH400. Not sure if the IRS setup shares a diff with something else, or if it's proprietary.

Also self-levelling suspension linked into the braking system is something these came with, and while I believe that a seventies one only has rear self-levelling, it still makes me think .

Are the engines reliable?
Does anyone make a kit to remove the self leveling suspension? At least it's pre computer age, so in theory, an airbag system retrofit might be the way to go.

Any good online sources for information?

Enourmo posted:

Well the engine is unique, but wiki says trans is a GM THM400 so parts should be pretty common for that. Also says hydraulics (brakes/rear leveling suspension) are from Citroen, which may be a bit harder to find parts for in the states, and no idea if there's any actual parts commonality regardless.

I'd save up at least double that before buying just to cover maintenance expenses.

Hmm all valid points, but I have no issues with modifying it, if need be, to keep it on the road. Part availability does scare me to some extent, especially if RR is the only source for consumables. That's why I was wondering about interchangeability.

You shouldn't ever see issues outta the trans, btw the hard parts vehicles, ific to rolls, even though its a TH400, the gears are cut for quiet operation.
the sls removal? fat chance kid. You'd better be loving good with a welder and bending brake lines. checkout the dual front calipers.
Trailing arm rear btw.
FYI the first revision (think non ca smog models) have shittier window lift motors and electrical in general.

What makes the sls so difficult to remove? Packaging?

If you want details on converting the brakes, or swapping to a GM mill, you probably should PM me and invest in the following:
1. gas axe
2. 220V mig, capable of welding 1/4 or better
3. access to a water jet or a cnc.
4. $$$ and hours.

Right now I'm just trying to get more information on the vehicles, nothing is set in stone currently.

1. Own one, thinking of buying a plasma torch
2. Don't have a 220v mig but do have a 300amp TIG and access to a bigger mig machine
3. Access to both currently
4. Hoping to apply for journeyman machinist early next year, time is the biggest problem.

I'm thinking full EFI retrofit including spark control. If they have a bolt on cis-e manifold, you can install injectors into it with the appropriate sized oring, then I would just have to weld the stand offs and machine a fuel rail. I've helped do this on a Volvo.

CSB, thanks for the info. I just looked through that rrsilvershadow site and holy poo poo is that system complicated. From what I can gather, newer cars didn't have a brake master cylinder?

When you go hydroboost, does it output lower pressure to the power steering? Supposedly one of the reasons people don't do rack and pinion retrofits on old BMWs if because they run at too high of pressure with the stock hydroboost setup.

On the union front, I'm one of those guys who's not in it and gets the benefits. I just can't stand the idea of joining it because of the people in charge and those whom the choose to defend. That lawyer union with performance based raises sounds loving amazing though, and would love a system like that.

For me, all that my hard work has earned is more work.

I could just be like one of the typical union fuckwits here that sit around all goddamn day not doing a single loving thing making $5/hr more than me just because they've been here longer. It feels even better when I'm told I have to train them.

They just renegotiated the contract last weekend but I have no idea what the changes are because of how vague and cryptic they are about the whole thing (even to members). It's such a freak show of who's buddy buddy with who. Same company in Texas where they aren't unionized is on a 9/80 schedule, and their machinists supposedly make $5-10/hr more than we do here.

"But if it wasn't for the union I probably wouldn't be here."
Well, yea. Because you're a lazy piece of poo poo.
This union has been poisoned from the inside and could use a good cleaning.

Freiburger is, according to Glympse, sitting at a gas station in Blythe and about to embark on the second half of what is probably my most hated drive, the I10 between LA and Phoenix. It's just straight, boring, nothing to look at, gently caress all for hills and curves, and high traffic on only two lanes.

I was hoping Finnegan would be there too, mostly so I could talk poo poo about the rotsun in person. I'm going to try and make it out there for a little before work, but I'll definitely be there Thursday!

I spent $50 on my 24" HP something or another as it was surplused from my work.

It does just fine for gaming and CAD.

How much are the workstations going for?
Anyone local to the spyder willing to coordinate shipping?

I'm supposed to go pick up the newly painted 635CSI from the painters and it refuses to start now... Motherfucker.
