You've got me convinced, Ray. Maybe at Jeffrey's, after letting them sit for a few hours, we can have a start-off. I'll do mine from outside the car, reaching through the window.

By the way who's gonna be there? It's tomorrow night, yah know?

Hey man, what's the story on that intake plenum? It looks like the 12AT script and everything, but a one-off piece. Very cool.

Speaking of carbs, been meaning to ask a question.

On the FB, it seems like when it gets hot, the idle can be less than smooth. That usually takes a while, 30 minutes or so. Up until then it's great. Thoughts/opinions?

Since you have/had 'The Turd', you should name dirty red 'The Rag'

So the last 2 days sucked with my car. The sunroof leaks a little towards the passenger side, and occasionally the water comes over the healiner to the drivers side with a right turn. So with all the rain/snow that we got, the inside, as well as myself, got drenched. And usually, people have ice on their outside windows in the morning. Well I had it on the inside too So this morning I frosted my nice black dash with the snow made from my frozen windshield and unfortunately had to go to school. Then after school, I got to the car and found that I'd accidentaly left the lights on that morning, and since I couldn't roll the car off and kick start it I had to go all around the parking lot looking for a jump, which I luckily found. And then when I got home I got out the shop vac a got atleast 3 cups of water out of the passenger side floorboard... I should really fix that damn leak.

Anyways, I'll be out in the FC as usual...

"Losing faith in the carbs there Ray?"

I'll be buried with my Nikki's Tim, and the White One will be there tomorrow night. And you really do have a weird sense of humor:



You too Brett, weird and gross at the same time. By the way the brad nailer works great and I went out today and picked up a bigger finish nailer for the heavier work. Hope I don't nail myself.

Here's a pic of Glyphon #2, from a google search:

I'll agree I do have a weird sense of humor, but a lot of it is related to not having anything to do at work nowadays.

Glad it's working out for you! I used it once just playing around when I first got it. I got a chance to use my new compressor and impact gun the other day to rotate the tires on my grandma's Accord

Thanks man, I really hope so too. I had 35 people say Yes in the polls but of course when it comes time to put up or shut up only 9 people are to be found. It doesn't help that the thread got moved either but whatever. Any help I can get I appreciate it guys, really think FB owners can take advantage of this.
