[QUOTE=butre;48292545]camry. cheap to buy, cheap to insure, cheap to fix when he backs it into a pole, good crash test ratings, and not completely awful on the highway [editline]25th July 2015[/editline] also it's a really pedestrian car so nobody in a mustang will rev at him and make him want to race[/QUOTE] buy camry, rwd v8 swap, make mustangs cry at red lights.
Saw this today.

[QUOTE=Serj22;48287109]So I took some advice, and shoved kickstarter to the side, it isn't the right medium. I set up a domain, and put up what I make there, and makes it easy to see what's going on. I have the plans and patterns for three designs, so if anyone has any thoughts on a fourth or fifth, I can't see any reason why you shouldn't get a cut of the first sale of that rack if I use it.

[QUOTE=Strontboer;48290972]Picked up my polyester parts today. 2 doors, a trunk and a hood [img]http://i.imgur.com/sDqkVg1.jpg[/img] Hood and trunk fit perfectly. the doors require some adjusting. However this little change makes the car almost 100kg lighter. Next up will be even more weight saving and after that we'll be painting the car. We have NO idea what colour to choose....we want something that stands out. Like Kawasaki Green perhaps? If you have a suggestion let me know[/QUOTE] I think it'd be really expensive but check out Mutant Crystalz by DNA paints [url]https://youtu.be/0AGUcGJBlXg?t=701[/url] here's a linky with the result at the end of the vid

How does one need to sell a Miata because "They need space". What space is the Miata occupying? Put it in the closet or something.

maybe they want like 4 smart cars
93 toyota Camry for $500/400 Should I do it? All it needs is a battery, Cousin is selling it to me for that. If I buy it, I'll have 3 cars now. My EP3, Ranger, and then that. I dunno what I would do with it, maybe be either a back up, or my practice car for painting, or should I flip it?

[QUOTE=butre;48295365]how many miles? ever wrecked?[/QUOTE] Not to sure on the miles, Gotta ask, it's never been wrecked, it needs paint as the clear coat is peeling.
So I may buy a brand new Mitsubishi Mirage,it actually drives really nice and the dealer is offering a decent deal.

typed out a long post about replacing my CV (which is going pretty good) and then FP fucked up -- I'm not going to write it again so heres a synopsis: 1. All the bolts have been broken loose before... by me... So that made work easy. 2. I have an idea, but really didnt know what I was doing. 3. Had to fucking remove my shock. 4. Called it a day after I replaced the axle. 5. Balljoints got fucked (without the pickle fork) 6. Tie rod is still good. 7. Accidentally got brake cleaner in/on my asshole. It was the worst burning pain I have ever experienced. 15 minutes after the burning stopped I had emergency diarrhea. Remember folks: wear a belt. Dont get brake cleaner to drip down your ass while working on your vehicle.

I went inside for a bit, came back out. Grabbed one and just got a good swig of it. Thought it was my drink, it wasn't. Needless to say, Anti-freeze is the most bitter thing I have every tasted, I didn't swallow it thank goodness but still. It was so awful, it made me nauseous for the rest of the day.
No food or drink in the shop for that reason
[QUOTE=Grenadiac;48296152]No food or drink in the shop for that reason[/QUOTE] Then again, if I was in a shop. I don't think I would need to use gatorade bottles to drain anti-freeze :v:

He used dawn on his giblets and I forever now call him the bubble stroker.
I want this $500 Fury so bad but I have nowhere to keep it, fuck. We got a new pickup since I was looking at the 47 so now there's no space for extra cars.
When I was on the test drive with the Mitsubishi the salesperson got it up to 160kmh wasnt expecting them to do that.

[QUOTE=The Decoy;48297102]When I fuck up siphoning coolant and get it in my mouth I find that drinking and gargling coke works wonders to get rid of the taste[/QUOTE] Light acids like soda and citrus break down the bittering agent iirc
So i got my lesabre to start up just fine. Only problem is that after everything was installed I found a small plastic piece in the new radiator box. Its for the overflow tube to connect to and it must have snapped off before i even took it out of the box. I was so frustrated yesterday pulling the new radiator out and returning it to autozone. I'm picking up the new one later today. Now all i got left to do ate the rusty brake lines and the tranny pan gasket, then the 02 sensor
[QUOTE=Sonador;48297302]Light acids like soda and citrus break down the bittering agent iirc[/QUOTE] Light acids are still bitter (acids are bitter). Light bases would be better. Not too many liquid bases though that could help neutralize the acidity.
[QUOTE=mastoner20;48298060]Light acids are still bitter (acids are bitter). Light bases would be better. Not too many liquid bases though that could help neutralize the acidity.[/QUOTE] I thought acids were sour and bases were bitter. Like the lemon to soap analogy.
Can anyone check a VIN for me?
Yes, you're right. I'm sorry. Mild acids and mild bases will have a light bitter taste over sour. Stronger acids are going to be more bitter.
[QUOTE=joost1120;48291532]Vermilion or Burnt orange. Perhaps both? [IMG]http://www.automotofoto.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/BMWTN-Pfaff-49-650x431.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] Most trackcars in my area are already using orange and/or black. So that isn't an option.
Hot pink
