Friend had the beta, it was nothing amazing.

 

Jennifer works in the same building with microsoft, shes heard those guys talking **** about windows 7 for months!!!

 

news to me. i'll have to investigate. i'm guessing it's a new browser?

 

True, but it's better than Vista...

 

Is it tough to rebuild a transmission? I've decided to get Kevin's '85, but according to him it makes noise in every gear but 4th, and according to Mazdatrix, that means a blown bearing, which means I need a tranny rebuild. He's giving me another tranny that might be in better shape, but just in case, is it hard to rebuild?

The other tranny is good, Swapping them CAN be a 1 person job, but like I said, Turn up the music and forget about it! LOL the tranny is in perfect shape otherwise, it shifts smooth and theres no play in the shifter

 

I don't have vista either

 

Apartment complex easy?

Quad

 

sure, although I wouldnt worry about it since it doesent effect it mechanically, Ive been told you can drive on them for years making that noise!

 

building a tranny isn't too complicated. altho i've never rebuilt one, i have had them apart. the only problem would be the need for a press for removing and installing the bearings.

 

Gearbox swap is definitely apartment complex easy. Get tall jackstands to give yourself plenty of room, and go to it. two hours max.

 

Crit's right, if I can solo swap a tranny on a gravel driveway, you can do it in the apartment parking lot. But do yourself a favor Quad and drive it the way it is for awhile, Ace says the tranny works fine, just some noise that you might get used to and find is not worth bothering with (most old cars have nonfatal clunks, clanks and whines, that's part of their character). You can always put the other tranny in later on, after you've gotten to know the car.

Nice find, good to keep it in the family! Ace really fixed that Red car up nice (and it's got a holley).

 

I would bet over 50% of the websites on the internet are hosted on linux machines as well.

Yep....Google browser. I really like it. I used firefox till it updated a while back and would never run again on the work computer. Switch over to Chrome.


ok.......you are dying to tell us what you use.....so spill the beans.

i use ubuntu on my pc and mce on my laptop

 

+1 on ubuntu. i sold my computer cause juno bought me a sweet netbook. it runs surprisingly fast.

 

I've been up to no good...

 

Kevins FB is really sweet. When my friend drove it the trans seemed fine, it whines less than the one in Sabine and I still drive it everyday like that. I wish drew had bought that car its a nice little first gen!

 

what is it with the two Collin/Colins and trying to get us to fish information out of them? Colin is trying to get us to ask him what operating system he uses, and Collin is trying to get us to ask what he's been up to.

Guys, if you want to share something, just say it (Collin, if it's disturbing, find a way to say it without putting mental images in our heads)

 

Observe...

 

ok, we're painting the FB sometime soon...... I don't care if it doesn't look great, it's got to be better than my 26 year old paint. (but from the looks of the bumper, you do a good job) Congrats Collin on the killer setup, and nice S5 bumper conversion. Need to see installed pics.

 

That's just the base coat...

And in person they look kinda crappy I guess. I'm pretty sure I didn't have the gun set right. Spray pattern seemed spot on but I think I was spraying a lil dry in terms of the paint itself...also, looking back, I think I had the pressure at the gun too high as well. Might try and **** with it when I do the clear but maybe not. This is all an experiment..I'd like to be good enough at it that I can comfortably re-paint my cars.

I'll post pics tonight once I lay down the clear. By tonight I mean like 3am lol

 

I'm not dying to tell anyone what OS I use.

Collin that looks pretty sweet, did you choose the purple gloves?

 

Nope, they were on sale at wal mart so I bought them

 

Touche Collin! That picture puts no images in my head whatsoever!



My Silver One is next, we can have matching FB's and FC's.

Colin, what OS did you say you're running?

 

Macs forever!
