Been watching your work on facebook. Just wanted to say the work is flawless. Great craftsmanship. If I were not in the process of building my own set (OK, so they've been built without the legs and paint for a year and a half) I would totally pick up a set.
-
I drive by the westerville store quite often. Still haven't seen the eagle parked there, you must work during the day more than evenings, I'd like to stop in and introduce myself/pick up some general stuff for the garage/work.
-
I will talk with my friend to borrow his gun. If I can get it I would like to do this.
-
Fucking A *sigh*
-
Damn, why couldn't you be selling this in the spring/mid winter when I'll have the cash to buy one.
-
I still have this car, and my neighbors are still assholes.
-
I have one out of a 1Ga Eclipse GSX, car ran when I pulled the ECU out but that was a couple years ago. PM me an offer.
-
Wow. Beautiful car. It's even the fastest color. Good luck with the sale, too bad I've never gotten to see it in person.

You also forgot to mention (again) to them about the Lambo running the same V10 FSI as the new R8 having 1100 RWHP. And Cycle Search, how much boost is your Evo running and can it make that power all day long, day in day out as reliably as a V8 only pushing 6psi? The R8 can be EASILY tracked all day with that set up with little to no issues unlike (generally) a HIGHLY modded, high boost car. As for the dimensions... I will try to get dimensions tomorrow at work, one of the techs is doing a clutch on an RS4 that shares the same V8FSI as that R8.

No cats setting off the light yet. No new (noticed) intruders yet. The wheels were not aftermarket, they were factory early 90's Lumina wheels. No way they'd fit onto a Honda, he had to have hocked them.
-
Great run, looks like a blast. I'd love to get into that some day.
-
Big enough, that looks intense. Drove a B7 RS4 today at work (share same V8 engine) and that seemed fun enough without any boost, I could only imagine twice the power.

My cars are kept behind a privacy fence, and are also parked nicely in order. THEIR yard has no fence and it's literally junk, like solo cups, streamers, cans, paper cups, etc that has been blowing around. My garage is also filled with the daily drivers, and I don't have a reason to build a barn because I don't do work at home. I think I'm going to stop by their house this weekend with one of my bigger friends and ask if they've seen anyone in their back yard because I had one of the neighbors tell me they saw someone hop the fence into my yard and that I will be having "friends" stop by at random times of the day to check out the place and I will be informing them to "shoot to maim". Hopefully that will keep the little bastard out. Andy, you should just come out to visit some time, I've yet to see the car and you've yet to see my house.

I just got my cat that I found in my back yard. She had fleas and an ulcer on her eye. Took her to the vet and had her looked over, no chip, was spayed and is very loving. Got rid of the fleas and after a week brought her in, she was spayed as well... Her sister is still roaming around my neighborhood, I can see if I can pick her up too if you'd like. (PS, we've not found any "lost cat" flyers up so I didn't steal anyones cat.
-
This is the first engine bay clean up like this I've seen on a VW. It's not bad, and I do like what you've done with the intake manifold, what did you use on the VW logo?
-
I wonder how I could get my hands on that stuff. I don't see how it would be illegal to set unless it is illegal for me to have at all, right? Remotely activated pepper spray bomb FTW.
-
Wheels are 5x112 as Andy stated, the tires will fit B6+ Audi's and Passats with no fitment/speedo issues.
-
Oh, that's so terrible I could never do anything like that to any noble human being.
-
PM'd and will email tomorrow evening/monday morning.

Going to do that ASAP... "Funny" sidebar story... while doing work outside of my house today I noticed there was an aquarium tank sitting in the middle of their back yard for the longest time. Today it was pushed RIGHT against my fence with a piece of wood on top of it directly behind the car that had the wheels yanked off of it. Talked to the guy directly behind me today as well, he said he'd keep an eye out on them more-so than he has before because he gets the same skeezeball vibe from them too. My next door neighbor had a cast iron cooking grate for camping stolen from his back yard in the past couple days as well. This shits weak and has GOT to stop. I got a lot accomplished today. Motion sensor lights on back of garage installed and set up, found a wireless alarm that's motion activated and will trip on a light but havn't gotten a good spot for that though. Locking lug nuts/bolts on all of the vehicles with intact wheels. Dug a 4'x3' hole in the front flowerbed trying to find the water out on the house. And had to run a sewer snake 100' down the hole in the floor where the toilet was to try to find some blockage in my sewer because I gave up after being baked in sun digging hole. Success for now. Thanks for all the advice guys, it's appreciated. Even the not so serious replies haha.

Well, the person that I suspected of stealing them has been driving on a donut on his civic for the past few months... Now miraculously the civic has a new wheel and tire. I'm guessing he hocked the wheels for his honda. I'm going to go scout the used wheel/tire places on cleveland ave near ferris for the wheels... I've got wheel locks for all the cars now that are OE and not something you can get from the parts store. that are going onto the cars that they will fit. The other ones are getting set on cinder blocks tonight with the wheels stored in the locked down garage. Flood light with motion sensor is getting purchased tonight, I'm going to try to wire it so that the signal wire from the sensor will trip another motion sensor light that will wake me up. Yenner, I really wanted a house in the country to avoid shit like this, but couldn't find anything within my budget so I settled for this to build up some equity. We don't have a HOA, I am township and they are technically city. I found that out when I called the fuzz on them about the dog because animal control was a no show numerous times. Thanks for the advice guys. IMO it's a load of shit that I can't booby trap my yard with a 6' privacy fence... if they're in my yard they clearly are doing something wrong, who is to say I don't have an aggressive dog back there ready to shred someones ass? Someone buy the RX-7 and save it before they grab the wheels off of that.

OK guys, I know there's a bunch of clever people on here. I'm in need of some advice. This is a poorly written novel, nothing witty. Mostly a search for help, there will be cliff notes. Almost a year ago I bought a house near northland/northern lights area (before you say anything about me moving I cannot move for a minimum of 5 years because of the loan I had to get on the house). It's in township and not the city which is nice, I'm on a street that's fairly dead so it keeps out most of the "riff-raff". The neighborhood was great when I moved in, little to no foot traffic, no dogs barking, hardly any cars would drive by. 2 car detached garage with a half an acre with a full privacy fence. In the spring we got new neighbors, they moved into a house that backed up to the east side of my back yard. They. are. trash. There are from what I can tell 4 generations that live there ranging in age from late 50's to infant, they had a party a few months ago in the back yard and didn't pick up a damn thing. They also have a BEAUTIFUL bulldog/mastiff mix that they leave chained up in the back yard 24-7 with no shelter and a ~6' lead and let this poor thing yelp all goddamn day. Hope that gives you a nice picture of the type of people they are. I am clearly a car guy. I have a lot of cars. I store them in my back yard (with the privacy fence). Last night one of the cars had 3 of the 4 wheels stolen, and they left it on a block of wood and the frame rails. The cars are kept behind my garage which is on the east side of my property which is where the scum neighbors moved in. My next door neighbor told me he saw the teenage/20's aged kids peering though the fence one evening and overheard one ask the other wonder what's in them (could be harmless, but you live next to these guys for a few months and you'd get suspicious too). I'm assuming they hopped the fence on their side with a ladder or chair to get to my side, got wheels off and tossed em over the fence then hopped onto the car and jumped back to their side... it's the only thing that makes sense to me because every other way is more hidden/would make an obvious escape (onto the street). What would you guys do to prevent this from happening again. Ive thought of carpet tack strips around the perimeters of the cars so when they kneel down to jack up car or take off wheel they get a hand/knee full of tacks (probably rusted by then). I've thought of some sort of tacky shit on the fence that would show hand prints if they hopped. But I'm looking for something great, that's what you guys are for. Tomorrow I'm adding motion activated flood lights on the back of the garage (only part of property that isn't lit up like Tim Allens house for Christmas). Thanks in advance CLIFF NOTES: I buy house in decent neighborhood that is surrounded by shitty neighborhoods People move in that bring riff raff into neighborhood car in my back yard (a POS old chevy lumina) had 3 wheels stolen off of it last night and I'm worried they're going to come back for others. Need to set up something to deter/boobytrap this from happening to other guys and need your help.

I would be interested in the $65 class (OR get a private class set up with group rate). After what's been going down in my neighborhood I think it's about time to be prepared for anything.
-
OK, my neighbors are douchebags and robbed wheels off of one of the cars in my back yard, I don't want it to happen to this car. If you're interested make me an offer, I would just like to see it go to a better home where SOMETHING good will come of it (whether it be used for parts or even a motor swap)

I have a 1984 fb RX-7 12a. I don't know the sub model but it has rear drum brakes if that helps. The car is silver with surface rust spots here and there. The car's not run in a while and needs some TLC. My uncle bought the car 15 some odd years ago and ran it in SCCA auto-x's exclusively. He gave the car to me a while ago with intentions of me getting it running, I just don't have the time or the desire to get it to work. I pulled the carb off a while ago to get the ball rolling on getting it resurrected but that and getting a new coil were as far as I got. The car does NOT have a title, when my uncle bought it in NJ the guy said he was going to mail him a title... well it never came so my uncle just trailered the car to the auto-x events. I contacted BMV and you can get a rebuilt title for it after you provide proof of ownership (present the car) and a letter as to why you don't have a title. I've got a set of Creagers for it as well that I'll throw in as well as some extra wheels/tires and a lot of spare parts. Part it out, fix it up as a driver or track car, I don't care. Come get it, bring a trailer preferably with a winch but i've pushed it onto a trailer once, i'll do it again if I have to. I live on the NE side of columbus close to Morse and Cleveland. $450 OBO PM me on here or email me gmann15 at yahoo dot com for questions/pictures Thanks, Garrett
