  1. Don't let the nay-sayers dissuade anyone here from looking into solar. 1. Current systems tie into the grid, no batteries required. 2. Battery technology is growing by leaps and bounds for future off grid use. 3. Systems can be leased, decreasing costs to resident 4. Germany, which has a climate much like ours, is one of the biggest solar producing countries in the world. The faster we get off our dependence on fossil fuels, the better. The only reason I don't have them is because of the way my house is facing in relation to the sun. My roof has a east/west orientation and the neighboring houses are taller than mine.
  2. any body work other than the paint?
  3. Looks like the the article was written a few months ago, but its the first time im seeing it. Looks like a blast. http://cdn.speednik.com/files/2015/01/eliminator-1.jpg http://www.turnology.com/news/the-eliminator-v2-is-a-hacked-up-miata-funbox/ https://www.facebook.com/SalvageW0N/timeline

    How does this even happen?
  5. I just finished another re-fi with Marc. everything went great and closed in less than a month. smooth sailing the entire way.
  6. i'd start hunting ecoboost forums for used stock parts.
  7. there's a nice looking silver manual cts-v at carmax with 14k miles for $45k. i might go take a look
  8. true, i wouldn't build the engine. used all the stuff listed could be had for less than $2000.
  9. ATP gt35, injectors, pump, tgv deletes, e85, tune.450whp. If I were to do it over again, this would be it.
  10. What's the problem? The "Monopoly" thing? Didn't we already put the casino monopoly in the state constitution?

    Erie roofing

    Looking for a new roof myself. Having some issues with nail pop on a few shingles. Roof was done in 99. I started calling around for normal roofers. Called Ascent, Able, Muth, Apco, Altas, and Superior. (CR recommendations are not roofing anymore) Haven't heard back from Superior and Able didn't answer. Still waiting on most estimates, but Atlas came out on Friday. The guy who came out ended up hopping on my roof and fixing what he saw wrong FOR FREE! Gave me an estimate that I expected and told me about some installation errors from the last installers. Not sold on Atlas yet, but they are doing the right things.
  12. Does anyone remember that movie on the Bradley with Carey Ewes (I think that's him)? He played a Air Force officer that was overseeing the M2 project. Holy fuck, military be dumb...speaking as a MSgt in the air guard.

  14. tune is going to be the key for this sort of thing. there are a lot of good tuners around. The Eric's that used to work for Covert, Byran and Corey at Slowmo, Dom at TIC in Cincy. The only one I haven't had personal experience with is Dom, but he has a great rep in the Subie community
  15. i was at the time. unopened subaru blocks, with GOOD/GREAT tunes, are stout. the stock long block STI record is something stupid, like 590whp on a mustang dyno and ran a 9.77 at +140mph
  16. I had a ATP stock location GT3071 on my sti at one point. It was good for 380whp on pump, but it was a little laggy. If I were to look today, I'd look into a forced performance 71HTZ (whatever it's called) or blouch 18g-xt.
  17. this, if you don't live too far from work Toyota direct is having some good deals on sign/drive lease for corollas and camrys. $139/$159. I have a lease new camry, its a good little boring car
  18. here's the link http://gawker.com/cops-monster-disemboweled-girlfriend-after-she-screa-1732169254
  19. my City picks up for a fee. They want it wrapped in plastic first.
  20. good looking car maybe hit the engine bay with a little water? http://thegarage.jalopnik.com/heres-how-to-clean-your-dirty-ass-engine-bay-without-sc-1730839997
  21. just like every corvette GM's ever sold, very very few will use the power they have.
  22. im in "step 6" of baby steps still trying to figure out what to do: pay off the house like crazy and living like a monk or living normally and paying off the house in 15 years. couldn't imagine spending over $30k for a car/truck right now
  23. DON'T BUY A NEW CAR!!!!! Unless you're me http://www.corvetteblogger.com/images/content/2014/020414_12b.jpg http://thegarage.jalopnik.com/no-you-dont-have-to-be-a-millionaire-and-pay-cash-to-b-1724244052
