the spyder posted:Holy loving lol- I found out how the electrical fire started. In attempt to heat protect the wiring harness, the PO wrapped it in aluminum foil and silicon tape... On the secondary fusebox 8g wire, he wrapped aluminum tape ALL the way to the top of the terminal, connecting it to 12v power. This then charged the entire aluminum "heat wrap" and as soon as a ground was made, shorted the entire system. Amazing it did not burn to the ground. I will get a picture tomorrow.  That is...special. Wow.

some texas redneck posted:My garage stereo is a mid 70s Sansui receiver that belonged to my stepdad (he bought it new) with some late 90s Infinity bookshelf speakers. He retired it after it fried a couple of speakers (always on the right channel, never on the left). Sansui made some good poo poo back then. I'm always looking for someone selling a 9090DB for cheap because they don't know what they have. I have some mint condition 70s Infinity speakers and a newer Audio Technica turntable to hook up to it, if I could just find one.

It's outlasted 3 or 4 replacement receivers so far, and the sound quality blows away my modern Onkyo.

We are currently trying to sell our 2009 Mazda 6s. It's automatic, but it handles awesome, has great power, plenty of room, and it doesn't blend in with the rest of the cars in it's class. I just replaced the pads and rotors on the front and we just had the parking lot dings fixed. We're on the wrong coast, but if you're at all interested, I'll post up some pics. We love it, but we are trying to shed some debt. We'll take what we get after paying off the loan and probably buy an 01-02 Volvo V70 (preferably a T5 with a manual).

So that's two Exocets in AI so far, Holdbrooks and you, plus the 4-wheeled cruise missile Revelations is building. I assume Holdbrooks is going to use the engine (chevy 4.8/5.3?) and turbo that was going into the Boso truck and Revelations is building that LS motor for his. My vote is for a 20b-powered Exocet.

the spyder posted:Oh gawd, I forgot about the 317- it single handed destroyed the 316/14 reputation like you mentioned. I still would have killed for that 318. Maybe it's time to start looking for a 425 or X series. If I can't find either, I will get a Kubota. Kubota has a production facility just east of Atlanta in Conyers. My wife did their environmental compliance work when she was still in consulting. She wrote their Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures (SPCC) plan, stormwater management plan, and Title V air permit.

Seat Safety Switch posted:A Mazda with a hard to change oil filter? Why I never. I had to get on top of the motor and contort my arm under the intake manifold to change the filter on my BG Protege. Kind of a pain in the dick, but not horrible.
