  1. In style: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A18948-2004Jun5.html
  2. aww hell, Dynapack is what I meant. But yeah, I'd like to dyno with my wheels on. I'm hoping to snag some MPH@Xrpm off of this, too, since my speedometer is rediculously wrong. Need the tires on there for that.
  3. So, I'm sitting here watching TV late at night. I hear the distinct sound of tinkling coming from the bathroom. Some one is pissing. Elena is off at a game, the boy is in bed. "No fuckin way" I said. I tipped toed down the hall, and peek into the bathroom as the cat is coming out. He freezes and looks at me, I look at him....I look at the toilet, yellow and bubbly, I look at him...he bolts. Un fucking beleivable.
  4. On the discovery channel! FTW!
  5. Court recorder called today, the transcripts are done. Just need to arrange for pickup.
  6. Ya had me, right up untill the word "Dynajet". :-/
  7. Interested, but you're link is broke. Where is the joint at?
  8. For shit sake, does anyone answer phones at that place? I've been trying all day.
  9. Buddy I work with needs an alignment on his accord. Can anyone here beat $80? Prefer the north side, between polaris and sawmill.
  10. ya mean; Industrial Special Coating 501 London Rd # 10, Delaware, OH ? Thanks for the tip, have you done buisness with them before? edit, the quantity just went up to 66,000
  11. I want to snag some data for the Cougar to put in it's ad. I had a few pulls before, bu the AOD slipped like a bitch. The TKO is now in, and its FTW. When's the next dyno day?
  12. I've got about 15,000 parts I may need powder coated. They can be best described as like a 12" ruler full of holes, some are bent. Anybody know of a joint that can handle this load? We're trying to avoid shipping them a rediculous distance.
  13. And Jesus could walk on water. They're still both dead.
  14. It's that time of the month again, Eric's relisting the car. I've come to notice that I rarely have time or money for this car. It's time to sell and focus on a house....or a rally car. I'm liquidating my whole road course racing operation. I haven't even had time to drive it lately, nevermind track days or installing my new toys. So no trades. What yo 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. -$4000 obo 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 IRS Gutted interior S&W Gage Engine: 10k 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 custom cold air intake and K&N filter Exhaust: MAC 1 1/2\" primary shorty headers (chrome) Off-road Downtubes (2 1/2\") 2 1/2\" Thrush mufflers, dumped Cooling system: Pep-boys 3-core radiator Fuel system: BBK 190lph in-tank fuel pump flow-matched 19lb injectors Drive Line: TKO 5spd trans & fresh clutch FMS aluminum center section with 4.30 gears One Piece Aluminum drive shaft included Ignition: Crane HI-2000 ignition Crane fireball coil FMS 9mm plug wires Optima Red top battery relocated to the passenger seat pan in NHRA legal box with battery cut of switch misc: A/C and Smog pump (and equipment) removed Interior totaly gutted, only drivers seat remains (passenger seat available) Comes with Kirkey aluminum bucket and seat cover/pad G-force 5 point 6pt roll cage Custom tube framed dash with aluminum skin (all you need, nothing you dont. Carbon Fibre dash shell included, never got around to mounting it) Autometer Phantom water temp and oil pressure gauges Suspension: Factory IRS (comes with spare reinforced subframe and aluminum lower control arms.) Eibach Pro kit Rear lateral brace Wheels/brakes: Rolling on OE 16x7.5 with good 245/50/16 tires comes with; -4 Cobra R replica rims, 17x9 -4 98 cobra rims Cobra 13" brake upgrade kit for front wheels. Includes front hub conversion (what the 98 wheels are for) -2 16x7.5 SC rims with BFG Comp T/As -4 street tires for 17" rims -4 DOT race slicks for 17" rims. The last lapping event that the car made it to was Mid Ohio on the Club course. At the time, it was still an Auto, and had no 4th gear. It also had a 3.27 open diff, and was unable to acclerate out of turns, it just destroyed tires. Despite these glaring problems, it still managed to lap consistently in the 1:45-1:50 range. Now, it will certainly accelerate out of corners, when I bought it (with a full interior) it would do a 1/4 mile in the low 13s. 5 forward gears means it will blast past the old 3speed 100mph ceiling, making the straightaways more useable. Installing the new brakes will mean you can brake later and with more confidence. This car is fast now, and has outstanding potential as a dedicated road course car. Buy it now and, if we can fit all the extra stuff in it, you can drive it home. http://www.tccoa.com/rides/pics/groeri2.jpg Pictures of anything are available apon request, just give me an e-mail adress. $4000obo (if you wanna do the 2007 challenge, maybe we can work on th epaperwork )
  15. Got a project at work, we need to construct a winding drum. On this drum is a spiral that must wrap 8' of cable. If you have a garage, you can go out and look at these. The drum has to be within a certain dimensional tolerance on all 3 axis, yet still wrap the same length of cable within 3/8". I'm guessing it's some manipulation of a circumference measurement. http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/2945/drumgm4.jpg We had a guy that knew this, but he won a pissing contest...against a guy that could fire him.
  16. I sooo wanna have your baby Joe.
  17. It's a sign of sex, most likely. Bats live everywhere that there is shade, caves are just extra nice.
  18. Pics? I've got a line on an 83 as well.
  19. Aye, but what makes this uniqure is it's lack of exsitence. On the USGS quads, they dont even show the sharp drop off, they show it as a steep slope. I think they overlooked this since you cannot see it unless you're practicaly in it.
  20. not yet. My education tab was to be picked up by my present employer. It's looking more and more like our joint is going to be liquidated. I have a certification through the American Sociaety of quality, and have taken a 2 month Quality Engineer course. What have ya got? (I also know 2 engineers looking for work, one has huge experience, the other speaks 5 languages.) edit: I've also got experience with Autocad.
  21. Nowhere close. The closest town is Ironton, its back in the Wayne National Forest, in an area that isn't know for caves.
  22. The aproach You realy can't see this unless you're right on top of it. http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/7836/panocave1rk0.jpg It continues on for at least one more frame to the right. Some curious features: The rockfall at the bottom has not been crawled over by children for 5 decades like Ash cave, the shapes that natural erosion give it are simply twisted. Seen next to the group What looked like a coal vein. This is, to me, evidence that this is relatively unknown. No coal vein goes unexploited in southern ohio. Odd formations of the sedimentary rock. You dont get to see natural stuff like this anywhere that has people traffic. People like to touch and walk on things, it realy wears on this soft rock. rock1 rock2
