  1. That's been out for a couple years now. As much as I would LOVE to have something like that, being fed by twin turbos, I would never pay that much.
  2. Don't believe Cavin's has gone that fast, probably due to it's lack of track time. However, Cavin's car did kick the shit out of the car in question's ass. http://videos.streetfire.net/comment/0/3722e5a1-c5d5-41c9-84ce-98bc01657e60.htm
  3. http://i15.tinypic.com/3z70ch5.jpg For aftermarket: ForgeLine S03P. Someday, I shall have this exact set of wheels on my Z06, in probably 18" on all four corners. *love*
  4. Exactly. Call up Jose @ forcedinductions.com. He knows his shit.
  5. Is it illegal to punch the fuck out of an illegal?
  6. The link isn't about her shaving her head... And, because any woman that does something like that, IMO, is a psycho bitch.

  8. We had to disassemble, replace some seals, and then reassemble (twice ) a hydraulic cylinder for our Caterpillar 315L trackhoe. We had to do this twice, because the idiot of a mechanic our construction crew has working for them, put a damn seal on backwards the first time. First off, here's the nut we are trying to get off. According to Cat, this thing was supposed to be torqued on @1,100ft.lb. I have my doubts, as I think it was waaaay more than that. http://i19.tinypic.com/2mhbwpg.jpg Next up is the custom wrench we had to make in order to turn the nut. The nut was 2 5/16" in diameter. We originally had a 2.5' long RIGID brand steel pipe wrench on it, but that proved to be too light duty, as we bent the handle on it. We later shattered the teeth on it as well. Oh, and in case you're wondering what we made it out of; 5/8" thick hardened steel, left over from an old bulldozer blade. Hence, the weight reduction holes Take note of the custom setup we came up with to keep the cylinder ram from turning while we turned the nut. That's an 8,000lb. mini-excavator sitting on a 2" box pipe (which had an S-curve in it when we were done) which we have running through the pin hole on the ram. We originally had our 2-3,xxxlb. 33hp diesel New Holland tracor sitting on that bar, but it proved to be too light to hold us back. We ended up lifting the whole ass end of it off the ground. http://i12.tinypic.com/4i1nytz.jpg And finally, we had to have some form of cheater bar to turn our custom wrench. Rough guess: I'd say it's about 12' long, 2"x4" box tubing. We had three, 180lb. guys hanging from the end of this thing and could barely turn it . During reassembly, the same three, 180lb. guys were jumping on it to get it torqued to an EXACT 1,100ft. lb. (I have a torque meter in my feet) :grin2: . Round two of the whole process, involved fighting gobs of red Loctite from the previous assembly. :doh: http://i9.tinypic.com/2mxfmnt.jpg All of this was due to the fact that our bosses are too cheap to send it to the people who have the proper equipment. Don't want to do that again.
  9. Driving home from work today, I looked to the west, where the Sun was starting to go down, and noticed a cloud that had a section that was vividly rainbow colored. I remember someone posting a while ago about some weird ass type of clouds that form when its really cold. I thought this might have been one of them. You could clearly see the color spectrum running from one end to the other, of that section. I snapped several pics with my camera phone, but only one turned out. And even it doesn't show the color. If you look almost directly in the center of the pic, you will see a horizontal strip of cloud. In the center of that cloud, is a bright colored section. That was the colorful part. Anyways, here it is: http://i12.tinypic.com/2nslv00.jpg I thought it was cool, anyways.
  10. Just finished testing mine out. Give me a few minutes, and I'll post some pics....
  11. what is the meaning of life?
  12. http://65.186.83.233:50001/Dyno%20Graphs%20and%20Pictures./Dyno%20Graphs/Austin%20ZO6.jpg But I'm still putting myself in the garage category. Though, it should be running and ready for summer.
  13. Can't take it with you when you die.... On that note, I do have a little bit of a reserve built up. I had a substantial amount saved up, but the twin turbo idea drained that amount REAL quick (with still more to buy). I might be able to make it 2 months, but that'd be pushing it. I don't feel that I do too awful bad though, considering I'm still a full time college student, and somehow manage to work enough to pay all of my bills. I will say, college is paid for by my mother. If I had that hanging over my head, I wouldn't own a twin turbo Z06.
  14. Packing.org There's a couple dedicated specifically to Ohio CCW laws, however, I can't remember them off hand and don't feel like searching. BuckeyeCCW.com or something like that...
  15. Depends on which model you get.
  16. Buy EFILive software and you can have a horsepower AND Torque gauge.
