  1. Surprisingly I actually agree with Greg for once. There is a wide range of tactical knowledge in the military. Simply being in the military does not qualify you. I think I read somewhere that only 10% of military members see combat during war time (obviously this varies a bit depending on the war). I'd venture to say most active duty military personnel don't fire a weapon after boot camp. You also don't want someone in that position looking for a reason to be a hero. That has bad news written all over it.

     

    Old co-worker of mine became a police officer having never fired a firearm in his life, absolutely no way In hell even after passing the training classes he has now gone through do I feel in a situation people like that would be able to act accordingly when needed.

     

    Even if it became a nationwide thing and the “school” becomes more of a safe haven people who want to do harm will still do it. What are we going to do when it becomes a movie theater craze? Any other place where mass amounts of people are at in a given time.

     

    Fix the people who have the issue not the physical location the incidents occur

  2. How was your experience with 417? If you can remember that is. I ordered my kit from them over 3 weeks ago now and it’s latest arrive date was a week ago. They never sent me a shipping co formation and via FB co tact said he would check but has been out sick. I really want this product but don’t think it is going to work and will have to file a dispute to get my money back
  3. Not bad. If the price is right then snag that thing.

     

    My buddy who messes with these funky engines told me pricing for a basic rebuild from reputable shops and it didn't seem too bad. I'd honestly mess with it myself since everything is online these days and not many parts in a rotary.

     

    Nah about 3,000 for a full rebuild with labor however when you still want over 12k I’m not a buyer closer to 8-10 on something like that is reasonable

  4. Gotcha, I know what you mean. I have few different ways of tackling the time to get these cars sometimes jumping through hoops.

    I have an adventure ahead of me this weekend driving a car home from Kansas.

     

    I had the exact same thought the other day I don't get why people post something for sale and don't respond??? I had mutual friends with a kid and got his phone number from someone and still no luck Lol people are dumb.

     

    Found a local one with low miles but a blown engine still wants cash as if it was not in need of a full rebuild

  5. The 1994 with 97k got back to me and I saw he told me lowest he's comfortably go is 14k without a carbon fiber tail light cover.

     

    In person cash is king so I can see him dropping it a little more.

     

    PM me if you want his contact. Other dude didn't reply yet.

     

    These cars require some traveling obviously or I would have bought both already.

     

    This '94 I believe is in Iowa which is reasonable.

     

    edit: If you aren't scared of a previous salvage and rebuilding/LS swapping this one in San Fran looks OK.

    If it's not sold in a week I have some friends that will be in that area and will check it out. If he can chop the price down I'll get it shipped home.

     

    Good looking out but no way in hell am I going multiple states away , pa ky Indy is one thing when all said and done I don’t have a 20+ hour gap in my schedule to take a adventure for a car that is not 100% and being 14-15 years old who knows what the underside would look like

     

    I have found a couple within the state but it seems trying to get people to respond is the hardest effort. Usually if I try and sell something I don’t txt you once every 3-5 days

  6. photos can be seen here if you would like any more just let me know

    Only thing it needs is the trans pan gasket has started to seap and drip a little bit, easy to change and not expensive plan to fix this up on Saturday or willing to adjust sale price to accommodate this needed repair ,

    Also driver door speaker likes to sometimes “pop” already have new one from dealer and also planned to address this on Saturday

     

    Asking $20,500 or take partial trade for FD, S4, evo, 335, 535, something along those lines

  7. What wheels do you currently have?

     

    15x10 5x4.5 Weld pro stars with 6.5 backspacing ... I bought my current wheels a long time back and did not know my rear end was shorter than stock so they don’t fit properly on my car unless I wanted to run a spacer, with my studs that is a pita from what I have found

  8. I thought about this years ago. I would set a shop up for its individual Bay access. If you are not done with your vehicle and it's not gone you get charged another day. I leased out space the two other businesses a few years ago. The question is what would somebody be willing to pay for shop space and a lift? Most people that wrench on their own cars have tools oh, they just might not have the space. To alleviate stolen or broken tools just create a rental tool program like advance and AutoZone.

     

    Insurance though for injury?? There are so many legal issues with this set up though. Is a great concept but the cost to run it far out weigh a profit to be made
