Science Abuse

I'm in the market. I can get a case for my current camera for $150, claims to be good to 60m. Is there anything out there (10mp) good for the depth at less cost?

I use metal hose clamps.

I've done that.

Manufacturers do, but hennesy isn't one. You'd want to make dan sure those are covered by your insurance before you go driving anywhere. Also, don't they get glowing hot when you flog them? What happens to your bumper and its paint when they glow?

Well then give me the asking price, I'll give you the car... and keep the title. Should technically make ya happy.

Yes, buy the car. Would really like to move this car and get on with another project that's less "dedicated" (Meaning, one in which I can have passengers), so I'm offering the whole package to sweeten the deal. If it sells via this method, I'd be willing to talk about selling rims.

This car is for going fast, period. I'm liquidating my whole racing operation. I haven't even had time to drive it lately, nevermind go to track days or installing my new toys. What you get is a whole lot of stuff, but summarized you get; -Strong 5.0 w/ TKO -in a IRS turn-key caged smelly loud car -a heap of parts to support the habbit of racing. Still reading? Good, here is the long list of what you're getting; The Car 1991 Mercury Cougar XR7 5.0 EFI V8 / TKO By Lasota Racing Technologies. 4 wheel disc, hubs swapped with cobra brakes and FastEd brackets Gutted interior S&W Gage Engine: 13k miles, all miles after break-in have seen mobile one Block: fully machined (deck squared, line honed, balanced) ARP wave lock rod bolts ARP main Studs FMS oil pump with hardened ARP shaft Crane cams double roller Timing chain FMS f-303 cam shaft Heads: Ported E7te castings Multi-angle valve job Milled to 58cc chambers TFS double valve springs TFS chromoly locks and retainers Teflon valve stem seals ARP head bolts Intake: FMS cobra upper and lower intake manifolds FMS 65mm throttle body SN95 70mm air meter with cold air intake and K&N filter Exhaust: MAC 1 1/2\" primary shorty headers (chrome) Off-road Downtubes (2 1/2\") 3.5" Y-exhaust system. Cooling system: "NASCAR" aluminum radiator, over 3" thick, barely fits Electric fan/showd. Never gets over 180 on the hottest lapping days. Aluminum "Belly pan" under engine bay. Fuel system: BBK 190lph in-tank fuel pump flow-matched 19lb injectors Fuel pump "access hatch." Passes tech. Drive Line: TKO 5spd trans & fresh clutch Scattersheild FMS aluminum center section with 4.30 gears, track-lock One Piece Aluminum drive shaft Clutch is a cable clutch witha modified pedal box, fells odd but works great.

Needs rebuilt, may be ruined 3.55 track lock center section (not in a case) spare half stafts Lots of ther stuff I have forgotten, I'll have to check the garage. This car has been on the NASA Pro Racing front page. People ove seeing it come out and it is much faster around a road course than anyone expects it to be. In groupe 2, I was never passed. In group 3, the R-compund porsches and such get by after their tires are up to temp. With the R-compounds on this car, I've only been passed by very impressive cars and experienced drivers. Pictures of anything are available apon request, just give me an e-mail adress. $4500 obo Pics: There's a story behind these rims: http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/9995/rimss.jpg http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/7384/arrrrh.jpg http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/7308/brakelh8.jpg http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/9826/dash.jpg Gutted doors with Lexan Windows.

You got PM

You need the IRS center section, or just the guts?

TKO 500 by the way. Had t look it up, this one has a 3.27 first gear.

Actually, I don't think he had a mathematical proof that light speed was the speed limit. More accurately, he determined that "in order for my theory to be right, Light speed has to remain constant and cannot change". Since we all assume his theory is fact, the light speed limit baggage came along with it. Einsteins theories have taken some hits in recent years, but that's a topic for another thread.

Ummm... it looks like a five liter with a tko attached to it, stuffed in a car...? Not sure what pictures will do for ya, but I can get them later, when it's not raining.

Also, I want to be free and clear of the car. Would like to pick up a toy car that isn't so aggressive and has more than one seat.

The hell does "Swap Kit" mean? It means that I'm selling the whole bloody car (1991 cougar), but its a bit of a niche car and I realize that I may not move it "as a car", so I got this idea: I drive the car to your shop, where I remove the; Wheels Brakes Hubs/spindles Shocks Springs Differential .. and I keeps them. You keep the entire rest of the car (and title) to do whatever the hell you want, part it out if you like. You get a great engine and trans and everything you (should) need to get it running in your project. What's worth a shit in this particular car? 5.0 Block: fully machined (deck squared, line honed, balanced) ARP wave lock rod bolts ARP main Studs FMS oil pump with hardened ARP shaft Crane cams double roller Timing chain FMS f-303 cam shaft Heads: Ported E7te castings Multi-angle valve job Milled to 58cc chambers TFS double valve springs TFS chromoly locks and retainers Teflon valve stem seals ARP head bolts Intake: FMS cobra upper and lower intake manifolds FMS 65mm throttle body SN95 70mm air meter with cold air intake and K&N filter Exhaust: MAC 1 1/2\" primary shorty headers (chrome) Off-road Downtubes (2 1/2\") 3.5" single exhaust and Y-pipe. Cooling system: "NASCAR" Aluminum 3+ inch thick sun'of'a'bitch with electric fan. Never broke 180 on any summer lapping day. Fuel system: BBK 190lph in-tank fuel pump flow-matched 19lb injectors Drive Line: TKO 5spd trans & fresh clutch Scattersheild One Piece Aluminum drive shaft if you want it, will likely be too long for any application other than an MN12. Ignition: Crane fireball coil FMS 9mm plug wires Braille no-weight Battery misc: A/C and Smog pump (and equipment) removed Cosmetically the car is good, front end, rear end, hood, trunk lid, all should fetch you money if you choose to part them out. There is no interior to speak of, though the airbag is still there and good. Problems: If I let it sit for a couple of days (or months, as is the normal case), it needs a jump to get it going. I have a jump box that makes this easy, so I never got 'round to pinning out the voltage loss. Or crush it. $2500. At that price it's like buying a TKO/clutch/sheild and getting the engine and all the other stuff for free. P.S. Don't ask me if I'll part it out myself. I rent my place and can't part a car out here.

Who remebers that Clay mation scene from Nova?

Truth. He's also not the biggest Theropod anymore, there are two species believed* to be bigger. Spinosaurus has the title now at 60ft. *Believed; The specimens found were bigger. If a bigger t-rex ever lived, we haven't found it yet.

... they never existed: http://www.boingboing.net/2010/07/29/when-2-dinosaurs-bec.html http://www.abc.net.au/reslib/200804/r241573_980217.jpg http://www.planetdinosaur.com/dinosaur_list/images/torosaurus_skeleton_web.jpg Missing link: http://www.museumoftherockies.org/Portals/0/images/Triceratops.jpg

Bought new from harbor freight, and got a title slip with the weight right on it. Wicked simple if you buy new.

Only 1g, not an F1 Simulator. Maybe GT1.
