Annnnnd the Audi is broken. Not sure what's wrong yet. I've lost the entire driver's bank. Pulled the coil wire for that side and it's running exactly as lovely as with it on.

It made it much further than I thought it would. Is it coils or distributor set up? Also, I want to buy a 250cc enduro. Something about low power motorcycles amuses me. Edit: also, motorcycles are a million times cheaper than various British car poo poo. BrokenKnucklez fucked around with this message at 18:53 on Jul 27, 2014 |

Two coils, two distributors. One coil and one dist paired together for each cylinder bank.

Ryno's friends are worthless, sky is blue. So I just got back from driving two hours to pick up some Lexus wheels with "good" Michelins on them for a "great deal" for my Camry. I get there and the tires are loving dry rotted and basically garbage. So I offer him less money since the tires are poo poo and he says "well the price is really for the wheels I was gonna take the tires off anyway" THANKS FOR WASTING MY loving TIME YOU loving oval office

Try swapping coils is my only guess... otherwise that's all beyond my pay grade.

Are they super old school with one fuel and ignition computer per bank? If not, have you checked the distributor rotor on the dead side? Are you getting spark on the dead side?

It wasn't a friend! It's some dude whom I have a mutual friend and I've hated this fat piece of poo poo forever. Second from the left, with the pinhead  Fun Fact: I was at this wedding but since I refused to dress up like a loving retarded clown I was not invited to be in the photos. Fun Fact 2: No one in this photo is actually Irish or Scottish or any other ISH except the Bride.

A friend of mine that i went to high school with went to another comic shop to get something we sold out of. They know him there and when they asked why he bought it there he jokingly said "Rhyno dropped the ball on the order" to which the clerk there said "yeah well he's been too busy cheating on his girlfriend again" So my bud got pissed and went off and the staff were like "Well Fat Piece of poo poo said that Rhyno's friend said that Rhyno cheated on his girlfriend when he was in Detroit last year."

The sun is just brutal. I'm getting her towed home. When I pulled the intake tubing off to get it out of the way I snagged the coolant overflow hose, which snapped the nipple off the rad, so she's hosed even if I get her running worth a poo poo. Bad day, maybe 20 year old German luxury sedans weren't meant to be raced in the dirt.

I reckon if I had people around like yours Rhyno I'd be in for a lot of assault charges. Anyway, mining report: gently caress CLAY! bastard sticky poo poo that it is, hopefully that should improve today or tomorrow when I put the new filtration system and spray head together and add some flocculant to recirc tub. Got about a gram for the week, hopefully I can do better this week with the upgrades then I can start putting through decent amounts of wash. I did score a 1922 penny out detecting though, its in pretty good nick. I'll be putting up the OP tomorrow probably, I've just gotta hunt up some videos to link so if want to know anything specific let me know and I'll try and cover it.

When rallycross comes back I am buying the apex of the biggest/cheapest/luxuriousest German car conversation and then hammering it in the dirt until Roundel magazine has me beaten by the cops, or until I have to do a domestic car powertrain swap in order to get the thing reliable enough to drive. Ideally I want something that cost six figures or more from the factory and that won't immediately explode its air suspension the second I hit a berm.

The best place to get a Rolls would be one of the old dudes who has a field full of old cars along Hwy 2. I know the guy where we got the Coronet from had a 350-swapped Jag XJ6. Also there's an '86 Silver Spur with an ate-up cylinder for $5900 in St Albert with full interior and glass. If you're handy with Lexan I bet you can knock down most of that money yourself.. It loving lives in a warehouse with other fancy poo poo too, look at the pictures: http://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/st-albert/1986-rolls-royce-silver-spur/601354049?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true OH MY GOD http://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/edmonton/1967-jaguar-mk-420-great-project-plus-more/601348708  jump me  yes jump us Seat Safety Switch fucked around with this message at 22:09 on Jul 27, 2014 |

I have washed my cars. I gave the Max some special attention. Exterior and interior are *spotless*. I feel like she's gotten jealous recently as I've moslty been driving the Focus for fuel economy concerns. That little turd returns 35MPG with me beating the poo poo out of it.  Goddamnit I love both of these cars. Lucille (the Maxima) is comfortable and powerful..perfect for roadtrips. Carol (the Focus) is the ultimate commuter.

She's A arm front, and trailing arm rear. I'm drat sure you can swap some GM hubs or normal brakes on that fat pig. Oh yeah, and a TH400 under the mid section, so feel free to plop a 454 or more in there. E: I have cutters, welders, and theres a metal shop 10mi away and two junkyards within 20. LETS DO THIS.

7 series and A8 I think are airbag less... I think its only Mercedes that uses air suspensions in that huge luxury class. Maybe Jaguar XJ do too. Maybe just make a V12 class? It would be down right hilarious. Edit: best part is its easy to stuff a SBC into every thing these days. There's enough people that have done swaps its all documented.

Did a little engine degreasing and cleaning yesterday. I have a long way to go, but I took a big layer of grime off. Looks like I'll be staying on the job I was at on Friday. That means 5 10hr days outside and a 2hr roundtrip commute. At least the OT will pay for the gas...
