That rear freeze plug was installed too deeply. No really, it was. What was this motor in before it decided to embark on its exciting new career as a really EFFECTIVE paperweight?

Really? Too bad they got his birthday date so very wrong then.

And the bad one isn't spelled with a "k" either. Wait a second, lemme try something..... Faucet. Heehee, I said fauc....

How nice of him to tell you that he did something and damaged your car. Please tell me that he now KNOWS that he won't be driving it again, ever?

It's just about new. We've run about 1 and 1/2 spools through it over the course of the last year. Dad didn't notice it, but the first time I used it I did. He has no idea if it was doing it before, so I'm kinda leaning towards the idea that it happened gradually. I noticed today that the surge doesn't seem to happen at the same point in the spools rotation. It also does it regardless of whether an arc is struck or not.

Well, not the ACTUAL welding, but the welder itself. I've got a Lincoln 110volt for just general welding, nothing special. The problem is that the wire feeder is surging, it'll spit out a bunch of wire then slow down, then spit out more wire. It does this no matter how tight the spool is mounted, and the wire speed setting doesn't make a difference either. I'm running the proper size flux-core, so I don't think it is binding up. Anyone got any ideas?

The point is to viciously perforate them BEFORE they get that close. And you can do a LOT of damage at close range with one too, a 6 foot length of inch-and-a-half thick oak is a welcome friend when the discussion becomes personal.....

Just out of curiosity, I took a look at the track on Google Earth. The concrete wall doesn't cross the track perpendicularly, its actually a continuation of the right lane wall that gradually sweeps around BEHIND the sand trap, and at no point is it more than 10 degrees of angle across the track. Behind the wall is a thin strip of trees, and then the reason for the short run-off....Pension Road, which is the ONLY access road into the entire motorsports complex and airport! PLUS.... right across Pension road is a wooded area with lots of topo lines. Dunno what it was/is, but it's steep!

That's what everyone says until their neighbors do something they don't like.

White pages is your friend. Look in the government section for Gahanna, city of. You probably want something like the city engineer, if there is one, or building code enforcement, something of that nature. My white pages got used for target practice recently, or I'd have it for you.

You might be able to get them to work, but it'll take time and money. The easiest way is simply (!) to pull your hubs and get them redrilled with the proper bolt pattern, then get new studs pressed in, IF IT CAN BE DONE.....Some cars can't, because they have thicker metal where the studs come through the hub, and the rest is thinner. Might be worth looking into....

Yeah, the stands were just football bleachers or something like that, but we had canoe seats with us so at least we weren't sitting on raw metal. There were a few good passes right in front of us, and one of the turbo Mustangs popped the largest shift fireball I've ever seen all of 10 feet from me. It's really impressive when you can actually FEEL the heat..... I'm looking through the old pics to see if I can spot myself, that would be neat!

We sat in the stands at Broad and Marconi the first year. Good viewpoint, I couldn't believe that there were actually empty seats though. 86 was better, we were halfway down Marconi. 87 sucked, we were up in the Leveque Tower, and couldn't see crap. Sounded damn good though. God, I'd love to see a race back in Columbus again. But I would NOT want to deal with the traffic consequences of shutting down major chunks of freeway and downtown for a week or more. It was a major hassle back in the 80s, and that was with a THIRD of the traffic we have now. I've run that "Concrete Canyon" a few times. About 330am Sunday night/Monday morning is best.

At :20, during the slo-mo, it looks like something goes by REALLY close to the drivers side. I'll take bets on an idiot coming the other way in the wrong lane. BTW anyone grabs my steering wheel, I'll shoot them in the kneecap. By way of the top of their skull.

Hey, on the idea of staging a race in Columbus, does anyone have a course map of the old Columbus Ford Dealers race circuit? The one they ran downtown?

I know where this is, which brings up the one deal-killer: Where are the grandstands going to be? Half the course couldn't be seen by spectators. And it's the half where most of the action would be.

Little known fact: what the broadcast channels show is delayed by 6 minutes. No idea why, but there you go.

I've managed to pull a 98 Voyager up to almost 28 MPG. Taking the removable parts of the roof rack off was worth a full 1 MPG in and of itself. I also added weatherstripping foam to the underside of the hood edge, which keeps the air from getting in underneath it. No effect on underhood temps BTW, since there is PLENTY of air coming through the grille.

Shoot, thought I did. Too many dang bulletin board systems in my brain I guess.

Yeah, I love the idiots with the blinding blue lights. So much, in fact, that I'm going to install some high-power strobes in my rear window, aimed backwards, and tuned to flicker at 21Hz. No big deal, I just like being blinded by the glare so much that I'll be happy to give them a free test for epileptic seizures.

Liberators never made it to Europe. The Brits were sneaking in a HUGE number of Sten sub-machine guns into France, mostly using night landings in farm fields with Le Resistance assistance. There were other weapons as well, mostly Bren LMGs and SMLE Mk.IIIs, but the Sten was popular because the Germans used 9mm as well, and it was very easy to break down for hiding. A very few were smuggled (not airdropped) into Korea for use against the Japanese, one of which showed up in the hands of a NVA soldier in 1967. There were probably only a few dozen that escaped being dumped into the ocean after the war. There was a range report on some shooters boards last year, the gentleman reported being "REALLY nervous" after the first shot recocked the firing pin due to primer over-penetration. He also reported it wasn't very accurate at all.

TCM had it on twice over the weekend. I love it, my neighbors hate it. But then, they've never actually seen it, just HEARD it.......
