  1. I didn't know you had to use one of the actual remotes for this. I have the homelink stuff on my saab and fought with it for a few hours and gave up. Going to have to try this.
  2. http://allthatsfit.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/jacked-up.gif The Buster.
  3. I bought this to record some footage on my motorcycle and lost interest. I've used it once and since then it has just sat in the box. GoPro HD Hero 3 White Edition (w/ box and mounts it came with) -Also includes extra mounts from another GoPro that I got rid of a while back. -32GB Class 10 microSD card (the hero 3's are microsd) -GoPro Chesty mount (for mounting the go pro to your chest) The white edition has all of the wifi goodies built in also (you can use an app on your phone as a view finder, to adjust settings and also to start/stop recording and taking pictures) Asking $200 obo, more than willing to negotiate.
  4. That's what I've been reading. It's been reliable and I haven't had any issues with it and I use it to tow toys (motorcycles and ATVs mainly) and I drive it to Myrtle Beach twice a year. Never left me stranded. I think I'm just going to keep putting oil in it and drive it. Worse case scenario it blows up and I go find a 6.0 pull for it

    The Buster?

    Is that you Buster? http://www.mrhobbz.com/thebuster.jpg
  6. I stated in the first sentence that it has the 5.3L LH6 (v8 vortech motor) They're the same platform for the most part. It doesn't have the 6.0 in it, I don't think the LS2 was even an option until 2008 for the 9-7x. I drive the thing maybe 100-150 miles a month. I change the oil in all of my vehicles no more than every 3,000 miles. From everyone I've talked to so far I think I'm going to change out the PCV crap, turn off the displacement on demand crap, and change the diff fluids and drive it. Sounds like the worse scenario is even worse oil consumption
  7. I'm having a few issues with my Saab 9-7x, the drive/power train is all GM (5.3l LH6, not sure exactly which trans is in it) One of the issues I found a TSB on but cannot find the actual TSB documents (SB-070417001D) causes a clunk/thump in the rear end at stops and sometimes the drive train binds up (drags?) when reversing, I've typically only seen this while reversing in a turn but the clunk happens quite frequently when moving from red lights. Oil consumption has been another issue, it's been eating about a quart every 1,500 miles or so. I've heard this is a common issue on these motors and apparently most of the dealers end up doing pistons, rings, lifters, and AFM valves to correct it. So, anyone with experience on this platform; Should I really worry about these until something breaks?
  8. Thanks guys, I'm starting to think I should of just pulled the motor out when i did the long tubes.. Was a pain in the ass to get the pacesetter bolts tightened to begin with. I think I might pull the trigger and order my short block and do it all in one swing
  9. Has anyone ever used these stage 8 locking header bolts? They have 6pt heads on them with allen key slots in the center. I'm wondering if these might be a better bet than the ones pace setter sent me. Car is an 06' mustang gt
  10. Got my hands on a Hero3 white edition, thanks everyone. Mods this can be locked up.
  11. Anyone have one they want to get rid of? Mine is either lost around the house or my shit head couch surfing "friend" stole it
  12. Sold, traded it for a 98 sonoma with a slipping trans and unknown mileage + cash. Lock er up
  13. Might just be something internal, MS generally kills all support in general at end of life. Could also be something new starting at XP, who knows. I've never used mochasoft unfortunately so I couldn't say, and I hate Attachmate with passion. I'll ask some of my buddys that are more involved with mainframe work and see if they can recommend any good W7 alternatives.
  14. Take a look at these http://www.mochasoft.dk/ http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/software/i/access/solutions.html P.S. what kind of weird licensing do you have that microsoft is going to charge you directly for holding onto XP machines?
  15. Oh darn, I hope they don't get to my trash SVN on my webserver.. They might get some hello world java projects and horribly written python scripts
  16. Yup it just saved me big time, picked a set up at autozone this morning. Hammered the correct sized irwin socket on it and stuck a 3ft piece of pipe on the end of my ratchet came right out along with the stud. Can't believe I didn't know these sockets existed until today, thanks for the help guys!
  17. I hit it with PB blaster over night, then hit it again with pb blaster and heat, let it sit for 20 minutes and it rounded. Going to get a set of extractor sockets and try them if that doesn't work I'm just going to weld another nut on it Thanks for that extremely useful information.... Thanks for the tip, my dad just told me about those sockets so I'm going to give those a try
  18. So I've finally got around to dicking with this mustang I've got and am in the process of finishing up a long tube install... I ran all of the top manifold nuts off with a ratchet no problem, the bottom rear-passenger i couldn't break loose due to the limited room to get leverage on a ratchet, so I busted out the impact. The impact didn't break it loose all, it did was round the nut. I tried grabbing the stud itself with a stud extractor but there isn't much thread for it to bite onto and on top of that the extractor I've got is too big in diameter to clear the flange for the mid pipe. Any suggestions or anyone willing to help for $?
  19. I have that same impact and the 3/8" they make with around the same torque rating. Been working flawlessly.
  20. I'm very partial to craftsman stuff as that is what I grew up using and that is the make of almost all the tools my dad left me when he retired. He gave me a real nice & old set of fine tooth ratchets that I've beat the hell out of almost every weekend for the past few years.
  21. Never hears of andersons, looks promising. Thanks!
  22. Anyone know where I can find Warsteiner or Maisels in/around Columbus? They're both of german orgin. Warsteiner is a light somewhat bitter pilsner and Maisels is a sweet lager with am almost dark caramel color.
