Rx7carl - From what I've seen, it looks excellent! Even though I haven't read the whole thing, I do have one suggestion. It looks cool but instead of white letters on black, make it black on white instead. It'll be much friendlier to print out and reference when doing the work.

Dude! That's some awesome work you've done there!

That version is free to the whole world. To help offset our costs and to help fund future tutorials, we're asking for donations to get the printer friendly versions. I think thats a fair deal, whaddya think?

You could work with 82transam to make a Mechanical Secondaries tutorial next.

looks like this could be useful....

I agree, a mechanical secondaries tutorial should be made, perhaps to stop some of the weekly posting of "How do I make mechanical secondaries?".

very cool though Rx7Carl

Yeah, what Carl said.

We'll do the donation thing for a while so that we can fund the 3-4 tutorials we have on our list. I've already made the print-friendly version so after a donation, we can send you the goods.

Additionally, if there's enough desire, I can make a low-res picture version that should weigh in at closer to 5 megs, but I figured that a 56k'er can download the full thing in a few hours so we had most folks covered.

Excellent Tutorial. Looking forward to many more great ones to come out. Beer and Parts fund is a great idea! Once I get rid of a few of my parts I'll send over some beer money

I'd like to hear ideas for future tutorials from everyone. No super heavy or $$$ stuff like adding turbos and such. We'd like to start with some good solid basic 1st gen mods/repairs to supplement the FSM.

Then of course, if a couple hundred folks donate (or we get one really nice philanthropist), we can go for the turbos, 13B swap out, etc. Eventually, we'll make this puppy hardbound and go global baby!

Okay, perhaps not, but one may always dream, eh?

Actual content this time.

There seems to be some confusion as to whether or how to get the printer-friendly version. Trust me when I say that whatever donation you offer for the print-friendly version will be MUCH MUCH cheaper than the 2 new black ink tanks you'll need to print up the standard tutorial at a resolution that still shows the pictures well.

Two black ink tanks: about $40 minimum.

Minimum donation? 6 pack Killians Irish red ($6) (and actually, there is no minimum donation - $5 is great if you have it, so is $20)

Seems like a simple enough equation to me

Odd - unless your ISP doesn't refresh their DNS listings but once every 6 months, you should see it.

Give it a try now? It just loaded on an off-network machine here.

The "_" underscore is actually an invalid DNS character. They must be using a freak'n Micky$oft DNS server because everyone knows Micky$oft does not follow the rules. *sigh* I'd suggest to the person who maintains the DNS to chang the domain zone record and use a "-" dash instead. A dash is a valid character. Don't ask me how I know all this crap.
