S14 truck enclosure in progress.  A RB25 turbo setup on a RB26 because I wanted to look at something.  The T6 manifold on the shipping table. Screw this thing!

If you're on a Delta Dental plan don't go to Maxine Moncrieffe off Alafaya and 50 in that medical/insurance complex. Just drive out to one of other DDSs that accept Delta in Oviedo or the west side. Her office did the shittiest job on fillings ever, sunburned the gently caress out of my gums and lips curing the fillings, and tried to pull shady car dealer tactics for unnecessary services like crazy. I can only imagine the poo poo they try to pull once you're drugged up. Not really car related but they will charge you top dollar for the dental equivalent of booger welds. e: they also skimped on the novocaine at first, fuckers.

What is the purpose of the loop just before the flange for the turbo?

rscott posted:Getting dental insurance that doesn't cost more than the total amount of benefits they would pay out over a year seems to be impossible from what I've seen. That is, like, because they want to make money. Also: insurance to prevent catastrophic damage or handle it is one thing, but if you're looking for something to split big ugly payments up into smaller payments every month, that's called a payment plan.

I hit on the nurse, then when she turned away from my advances I told her I was going pick up hot chicks at the 7-11 across the street with my 'charming smile.' I was bleeding profusely with gauze shoved in my cheeks and I don't even like women what the gently caress was in that gas.

Cakefool posted:How big are the tubes on the collector and how much would one cost? 1.25" and I think the collectors are going to retail for around $500. They still aren't listed for public sale yet, we are getting a batch without our logo embossed on them for the general public.

Go grab yourself a 9-2x. It's just as fun as a bug-eye, and isn't eye-searingly ugly.

Automatic and too expensive. Although I had no idea they did the 9-2x all the way till 2006. The ones I was looking at we're bugeye era ones. I'll have to keep that in mind. 8ender fucked around with this message at 06:51 on Dec 23, 2013 |

ultimateforce posted:Saving up to buy a Corvette. I went to my local Chevy dealer to ask about C7s, and they said to get one now you have to pay $20k over list and wait most of next year. I had to wave my expensive watch in the sales guy's face before he'd even agree to let me sit in it, but the keys were locked in the boss' office, and he was predictably gone for Christmas. Anyways, the point is that Corvettes fuckin' rule, and you should get one. I'm saving for that C7, but I think it's gonna take a while

I have a rather dumb question for you, UF (shocking, I know): how feasible is it to use a procharger/turbo set up instead of the TT setup on the GTR's that you get in? Is it not worth it compared to twin-turbos? I know a few people who are looking to twin-charge their Cobalt SS's so that got me thinking about how good a setup like that would be on a different car.

There is like zero extra room in the Skyline engine bay as it is, I think that would be the main problem from the start.

Read around the Cobalt forum and you'll find that a twin-charged setup on our cars is a waste of time. It'd be better to do a LSJ-T swap.

Better mileage than the N/A 2.0 and more power. I have no idea what the longevity would be though.

There was a compound charged big block marine engine in last month's Hot Rod magazine. 2,500hp pretty much on tap at all times. If you are going for more than one power-adder just run nitrous like God intended. Come on, people! ultimateforce fucked around with this message at 18:42 on Dec 27, 2013 |

My grandparents had the exact same Fleetwood Bounder as in the show Breaking Bad at one point. What engine came in it? Theirs was gasoline. I can't find poo poo online about it.

I think 80s Bounders are a Chevy 454. They're built on a Chevy P30 chassis like most 80s motorhomes. The usual motorhome maintenance nightmares apply: cooling is extremely fun. Motorhomes combine the best expensive problems of domestic American work vehicles with the best expensive problems of owning a house.
