  1. An impressive local operation.

    "The assembly stations all work with wireless torque wrenches to get the perfect turn of the screw every time. When a technician bolts something into place, the wrench will vibrate when the correct torque spec is reached. Builders can then double-check that on their computers. If the torque value is wrong, the computer will not allow the next piece to be assembled." :eek::cool:

     

    Too bad they didn't have something that advanced on the new Civic motors, might not have had to recall whatever motor option that was.

     

    It's probably Chan's fault.

     

    Here's hoping for a manual NSX option soon

  2. Back when I had 1.5ish acres to mow I bought a $300 old john deere on CL. 46" cut, that weird flat-2 engine. Had to charge the battery every month or two, and eventually it needed a $25 fuel pump and belt, but that's it for 3+ years of mowing.

     

    Dad bought a shitty brand new JD from home depot and had nonstop problems with it. Head gasket, fuel pump, spindles all the time, and hydrostatic started making bad noises early, like 300? hours. LOL junk

  3. Sig used to have a fantastic reputation, then some musings about their QC hit the internetz and they appeared to have gone downhill, but the internet will do that.

     

    I've never ran a Sig, but I did shoot asig-distributed mauser-branded M2 and it ran perfectly for the very short time I used it. Maybe a case-ish of factory ammo without a malfunction.

     

    What ammo were you using?

  4. Exactly what I needed after being so disappointed in new gt3 and turbo being failomatic only.

     

    I predict these sell for MSRP or more forevar. Porka will keep on slinging awesome limited edition models which will sell out, seems to be more rich car guys than ever?

  5. I'm renting a '15 Ford Focus with 22k miles on it, and the tranny shudders when I'm rolling off from stop. When it's cold, the pulleys hunt up and down the rev band. It's a really disconcerting feeling

     

    Coworker has a newer focus that does the same thing. Another coworker has an escape? and it is so bad it will sometimes stall the motor completely. Both have been to the dealer multiple times, and still do it.

     

    FORD CVT LOL

  6. The web site will be down, people will have issues logging in, they will complete the test but not get a certificate

     

    Deal with this all day every day at work. I hope the NRA is plussing up their call centers to handle the angry mobs.

     

    I have one packet left, have to decide which lucky student gets it before the change

  7. I have at least one person wanting to cert that will not have anything to do with computer-led or online courses, the NRA just alienated a portion of people that either don't have internet, or don't want to mess with the hassle of updating their java/flash/browser/etc to make online courses work.

     

     

    Sure hope they go back to purely instructor led, at least the option ASAP.

  8. Last time I bought materials I read a little about this, but didn't interpret what was out at the time as removing the instructor's ability to buy the packets or teach the full course. If it's not just an online OPTION that's a major blow.

     

    That's an interesting development.
