    Time for an update, Hoblick.
  2. I know. After thinking about it now I'm like "I'll just watch for a mild cam/heads/intake to come up for sale!" Ha. Ordered a bunch of shit last night in support -- Pro 5.0 shifter, electric fans, aluminum radiator, Eibach sway bars, 134a conversion, strut tower brace, 70mm TB, and some other sundry shit to get ready...
  3. Ha! Last thing I need is 700HP. Before I do that, I'd need to redo the brakes and the suspension and the trans and... and... I put my kids in this thing!
  4. Cool. I'm thinking around 5-6lbs of boost, at least for this year. Add an extra 75-100HP. Will have it tuned, and I have an old wideband in a box barely used from years ago. Maybe next year I'll go 306 and heads/intake.
  5. Yea I was gonna do the MAF and in-tank pump to support 60's. Interesting on MLS and studs. Makes sense. I suppose if I'm that far in, I should just do heads and an intake... ...and this is how it starts.
  6. Probably been beaten to death, but I did search. I gotta replace the radiator and fan (with electric fans) anyway so naturally I'm going insane. Thinking about picking up an On3 kit for my otherwise stock 89 convertible with 98k miles. I have no interest in opening up the motor, so was thinking about the standard kit, +SS crossover and fuel upgrades for 60# injectors. I was gonna swap the throttle body out for a 70mm. But otherwise, no other changes. I just want to drive it and have it be a little quicker than my minivan. I put about 2000 miles a year on it, I'd guess. Thoughts? Should I upgrade to the 67mm ball bearing turbo? Anything else I should piss with while I'm there? Been a long time since I worked on a Fox.
  7. Yea, I ran 87 at first but it's so hilly as fuck here I do notice a small difference in performance chugging around the hills. I tend to drive in sport mode almost all of the time because of that too, takes away the "old guy" softness of the thing on the hills.
  8. *cough* <-- ~$5000 premium for the diesel. If you're towing lighter loads lots of highway miles I can see how it could be attractive.
  9. Clay, if you change your mind, I'd prolly take a bunch of those interior parts for mine depending on their condition. Got anymore pics?
  10. I use one of these and it's legit. About as good as an oil fried bird (I like it better actually, not as greasy) and way less mess/BS. https://www.amazon.com/Char-Broil-TRU-Infrared-Oil-Less-Turkey-Fryer/dp/B001HBI7D8
  11. FWIW I have a Bakflip MX4 cover on my 2016 F150 and it's nearly waterproof. Heavy rains I get a little water in the bed corners by the tailgate... I could probably get it better if I loosened it and fit it a bit more. But it's waterproof enough that I haul server equipment and stuff back there without worrying.

    Meanwhile, this time next year here's what you actually built: You know it's gonna be true.

    That's what I decided to do. Slower than my minivan but I like cruising in it.
  14. Step 1 in the chain of custody is to preserve every detail possible of the crime scene. You don't move anything until it's been totally logged and evaluated by all jurisdictions. Likely FBI and SS are involved, so everyone needs to see everything. Probably be days before they move anything.
  15. Blue Jackets games in less than hour? Sold.
  16. Unix Surplus master race. Good price for this config.
  17. Wished they could have gone a little deeper, but I'm encouraged. They're a piece or two and a lot of maturity away from being a really great team. I know we've heard that before, but believe it here.
  18. My wife and I are staying here again next week: http://www.thegrandcollection.com/en/hotels/riviera-maya/iberostar-grand-hotel-paraiso/introduction Big enough to have "everything", small enough and adults only so it's generally not crowded and loud.
  19. Decent win. Not sure there's enough in the tank to go the distance in this series, but at least it's not a sweep. Hope I'm wrong of course.
  20. Still a good first period, though from the rest of the team. If they keep it up I'm encouraged.
  21. I'd love to come back to Columbus for a game. May grab an extra ticket day-of to a game here in Pittsburgh and go in full CBJ garb.
  22. Hey man, butts in seats means the team stays put. It's nice to finally have a team that isn't terrible. I'll definitely be coming back for a playoff game or two.
