  1. I'm thinking about buying a Tapco stock and a dust cover rail for my SKS as well. I also am looking at getting a new gas valve, as mine was stove piping quite a bit. It looks like your gas tube part is the one meant to go with the ATI stock
  2. A little bonus: Here's another top 5 guy, Crazy Leo Urlichich on the same stage (this is the 100 Acre Wood Rally Bison Ranch practice stage BTW). This is from last year, though.
  3. That's my point, and I've met all of these guys except Block (this is the first season he's running the entire Rally America championship in a few years). It's not meant to knock Ken down, it's meant to prop the other guys up. I like to see other people get the credit they deserve. No disrespect meant, although I realize how it could be perceived that way and I apologize.
  4. He's average at best. The only reason he's even competitive is because his car is a Fiesta WRC car modified with a bigger Focus engine. Things are changing quickly though. Antoine L'Estage who has been competitive with his Evo X is going to be running the rest of the season with an 05 spec Evo WRC. I expect David Higgins and SRT USA to stay competitive, as they are a team with near infinite factory backed resources, where as L'Estage is a privateer. http://www.rally-america.com/news/entry/antoine-lestage-to-drive-a-wrc-car-in-the-rally-america-national-championsh Here he is testing the WRC car last year, taking kind of easy as it wasn't promised to him yet I bet.
  5. They have a guy at gunpoint right now who they think is holding a deadman switch, waiting on the EOD guys to show up.
  6. Its a perfectly reasonable question. If your car needs to be moved, the person storing it needs the key.
  7. Of course you're coming on the day I tell Doc I'm not feeling it. LOL
  8. Thats so weird, I was literally about to post a thread on the exact same topic. I lost 50 lbs last year, I want to lose 60 this year. I joined a gym recently after plateauing with my own efforts, but I want to give myself every advantage that I can.
  9. I had been sitting on this for a long time, waiting to find a better chassis to put it in since I was forced to get rid of my red Impreza as I had no where to keep it. However, I am trying to finish getting rid of my credit cards, so I had to re-evaluate what was really important. Anyway, you are getting a complete SVX EG33 Flat 6, along with the wiring harness. It comes with the headers, as well as the dash side of the harness which was stripped down by Jake Achymeier (SP?), who goes by just "Jake" on rs25. The only wires left are the ones that let the engine be ran, to make it easy to splice into an Impreza or Legacy dash harness. Mechanically, the swap is pretty straight forward. Move the radiator forward a bit, then use stock EJ mounts and transmission, and use an EJ flywheel and clutch. The fuel lines are in the same spot as an EJ. The harder bit is the wiring, which should theoretically be already simplified as much as possible. Jake included some wiring diagrams with the harness he sent back. Of course, you could always just purchase this is for a non running SVX or to have as a spare as well. I drove the car home that this engine came in, and pulled it myself, so I know it runs. Could definitely use a freshen up though, valve covers were leaking pretty bad. Currently the engine is sitting in the back of my storage unit, so here are some pics from when it was pulled. You will notice an MSD ignition coil, someone had replaced one of the stock coils with this setup, which was replaced with a stock one from Jake after I got the engine out. Clever fix, though. Never seen that done before. $1000 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/MegamanEXE/IMG_1243.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/MegamanEXE/IMG_1246.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/MegamanEXE/IMG_1251.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/MegamanEXE/6b2e5284.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/MegamanEXE/65fa0b81.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/MegamanEXE/b4af12a8.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/MegamanEXE/f898a271.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/MegamanEXE/b781cfb4.jpg
  10. I sold my autocross car and the end of last summer to pay some bills, but I will stop by at least.
  11. This is the highest quality footage I can find right now, but Kojima finally stopped trolling us at GDC. (this is a followup to this thread - http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=108650) Edit 1: trailer updated with 1080p version Trailer: Gameplay:
  12. I went and dug up the old thread, here was the for sale post.
  13. Not while I owned it, I got it on a trade and it had some issues that needed worked out before it could see a dyno or a track. The turbo was blown when I got it and it really needed some engine management work, it also had a fairly sizable oil leak from the front of the motor.
  14. I don't actually know which of the 2.3 cars the engine came out of, maybe one of it's previous owners will chime in, but it had a Ranger roller cam, adjustable cam gear, gutted upper intake, knife edge lower intake, and a T3/T4.
  15. I miss my setup that used to belong to a couple different people on here, I sold it because at the time my skills weren't developed enough to properly fix it up. The engine and transmission were sitting at Dyno Brian's the last time I saw them, don't know where they are now though. This thread is pretty timely, I have been considering trying to find an XR4Ti

    Chili...

    My chili is very simple, and I have never met 1 person who didn't like it. 2 lbs of ground beef or ground turkey (literally no taste difference in this), browned 1 large Can of Kidney Beans 1 medium to large Onion 1 large can of tomato paste 1 can of chili powder (its not too much, trust me. I hate hot chili.) Add enough water to almost cover everything Also gets better every day you eat it. One of my old roommates tried to replicate it, and then tried to doctor it up with other spices. Failed so hard he threw the entire batch out.
  17. I've got a few things for sale, just throwing it out there. http://columbus.craigslist.org/pts/3656568690.html
  18. I don't know about which thread, but I see people talk about Scratch a lot. http://scratch.mit.edu/
  19. Yeah I used to have WOW, they never did anything like this. I didn't have a choice when I moved in to this complex.
  20. I had to get TWC when I moved into my current apartment about a month ago, and to save a little cash I chose a 3 mbit internet connection, which is more than enough for just me. I noticed that most sites loaded pretty fast, minus streaming sites like Vimeo, YouTube, and twitch.tv. I thought it might just be my cheap internet connection or my $13 Tenda router, but then I saw this article posted on Facebook today. Apparently TWC is throttling anyone using a streaming site, even if you have their highest speed tiers. You can actually block them from doing this by following the instructions on the site. Made a night and day difference for me and several other people who saw the post I shared. http://mitchribar.com/2013/02/time-warner-cable-sucks-for-youtube-twitchtv/
