  1. Yessir BTW, wrong forum.
  2. Summary: 3500sq ft lego train exibit, featuring Cincinnati's Union Terminal and Down Town Columbus. The show "host" is a bit much.
  3. If not you're gay. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pVJqHqyIWo
  4. That is what he said. Keep in mind, the TC wont be getting drained. You'll find it kind of difficult to get all of the fluid out of an auto just by popping off the pan.
  5. So 12 will suffice? http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10001_10002_763324_-1_10785
  6. Maybe. What estimates have you gotten so far? I've never paid for a tranny pan gasket, its usually pretty simple, if a little messy. Its going to be about $30 in parts, fluid is special MB stuff @ $12-quart times 4, plus an hour or so shop time.
  7. If I were shopping for a press, what tonnage would be needed for the average car wheel bearing?
  8. The best Mercedes mech in the states now does side work in West Chester Ohio. A bit of a haul for you, but he is the man. Let me know if you want his contact info.
  9. http://blogs.usatoday.com/ondeadline/2007/10/in-west-virgini.html lol, got out of the car and went to his tree stand.
  10. My crazyness: -I just crunched the numbers on my gutted car, and found the rear load to be almost identical as the C5 (if I round up on my weight, it may well have less weight on the rears). An non-gutted MN12 would only have 100 or so more lbs on the rear wheels, 40 of which is the coil springs that you'd be removing. -Aluminum Mark 8 lower control arms would allow TIG welding of mounts. -The MN12 steel sub frame is steel and can be modified to seat this mono leaf properly in the center. The last thing needing done is direct measurment, to find out if the distance from the hubs to the leaf mount can be maintainted, as well as the distance from the leaf mount to the lower control arm pivot. The rear track is only an inch off on either side, the vette is wider. This means that the spring will act with more force on our cars, in theory allowing for us to have a certain amount of more weight on it with no ill effect. Not only do you loose two heavy springs, but you lower your rear center of mass, and your ride height is adjustable per-wheel. Sould like something you drag racers would love. You'd save more wight if you cut out the reinforcments needed for the coil springs. The only problem you may run into is routing the exhaust. It would slip right over the leaf, but you'd need to protect the leaf from heat. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/99-Corvette-C5-LS1-5-7L-REAR-SUSPENSION-LEAF-SPRING_W0QQitemZ320177985126QQihZ011QQcategoryZ33592QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
  11. snows sold. Sportcontact fronts: tread depth 1/4" rears, about 3/16.
  12. disproportionately large fangs on that one. Not sure what it is, but I've seen many of them. May be a juvenile something.
  13. Just curious if anyone knows how much static weight they've got on the rears, Z06 will do, too.

    Rolla's Place

    I think the fact that thirty people are staring down one chick who doesn't know what she's talking about speaks well for him.
  15. I mean, why wouldn't we if there's no hope?
  16. Chiming in late: The war in Iraq is punishment for American voters being fucking idiots, both in primaries and elections. True mutherfuckin story.
  17. What the cost to play? I'm having trouble finding any cost infor on the site, I'm tempted to enter the wife in her Mazda 6. (HA, enter her!)
  18. Best place in town thus far. Nearby World Foods has it, too. I'm drinking Lurgashalls "Tower of London" now.

    Rolla's Place

    Should have never started. If your freind was really that pissed, she'd be here and not you. "I'm just watchin out for mah guuurl!", well you're not listening to her, and you're not doing her any favors. I don't imagine you have any idea what it's like to have real responcebilities, and issues of grave importance 24/7. He does side work, at a higher quality and cheaper price than anyhere else in town, meaning that it is a favor. To quote Brick Top Pulford: "If I give a dog a bone, I don't wanna hear if it tastes good or not". Rolla would never say it, nor would he think it, so I'm doing it for him. Please register any complaints with the Customer service department, or go spend tripple the cash somewhere else.
  21. Shit mike, Thanks! It's $8.50, a bit steep, but oh well. Know where I can get unleaded race gas in the area?
  22. Supposed I have a car near the intersection of Robers and Dublin Rd. This car is noisy, and not quite "right" for the public roads. I want it weighed, and I want a short trip. If I rememebr correctly, there is a truck scale at Wilson and I-70. Can anyone verify if its there? Will they do cars? What it costs? Are there any better options? Appricitate the help!

    You sure did, especially that part where you got me a new windshield, I was totally in love with the old one! Here are some facts about Rolla and his shop: -He does side work, therefore his work will always take longer than a regular shop. -He does high quality work, therefore his shop will take longer than other shops. This isn't a case of "You get what you pay for", because you're still getting more. My Car took a solid month and a half longer than I thought it would, but I would not have gotten that quality of work anywhere else unless I paid 4 times the price. I wasn't in the least bit frustrated, and I'm still greatful. I live about 130mi away now, and I'd still drag my ass up there for his buisness. He's even got a freindly dog.
