  1. The best part is, you shouldn't even have to buy the tailpipe chain cutter. Autozone and Oreilly here both rent them out for $50 deposit. Rent. Use for 2wks. Return. Profit. I had originally rented it to cut my strut housings for some Koni inserts, then realized I should give it a whirl on my IC piping I needed to make.
  2. just FYI, I have been using a chain type tailpipe cutter for my IC piping and find it makes for a much cleaner cut that sawzall. Just my $.02. Also, I stole you angle iron idea for mounting my IC. This new IC is twice the size of my old one and the angle iron worked perfectly as a mounting solution. Thanks for posting that.
  3. Long route. Allows you to keep AC. Comes with pipe setup for 14b/16g. Has couplers, but you will need to buy clamps. IC outlet and piping is 2.25". Not sure of the brand/manufacturer. $200 + shipping/PP http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a461/RyanCorlew/Stuff%20for%20Sale/IMAG0535_zps41f27492.jpg

    MBC sold. Thanks Ryan! Sportlines have been sold as well.
  5. That was most awesome. I am glad I watched that.
  6. I believe this is the story I am thinking of: http://www.npr.org/2013/06/21/179015266/how-much-can-children-teach-themselves
  7. Listened to an interview on NPR the other day talking about his research with children and how often times learning occurs in amazing ways with the absence of adults. His conclusion after years of research is that adults should play a minimal role in a child's learning...
  8. I am going to preface this by stating I did not read anything below the OP's original post. I was home schooled until my Freshman year in HS. I did go to school in the first grade, but that was it. My younger brothers were home schooled until the middle school grades, at which point they started going to public school. First, let me put this common misconception to death: Not all home schooled kids are social retards. I (and my brother's as well), played in baseball and soccer leagues, as well as a lot of basketball pickup games at the park. Also, because of my schedule, I was able to get a job at 14 doing cleaning and maintenance work at the local rec center where I played in an indoor soccer league and later went on to be a ref there for 5-6yr old games. So in some ways, I got a lot more social interaction with people of all ages and walks of life than most kids my age had. Yes, there are creepy, socially retarded home schooled kids, but you get those in public school too. What I am saying is, don't buy into the stereotype of home schooled kids. On to the educational aspect. Neither of my parents had any kind of education degree. They weren't teachers, or anything like that. My mom did a majority of the teaching, but a lot of the education comes from the material itself, and you as the parents have teacher's keys to help, and for grading purposes and such. The state required us to be tested every year to see where we placed. Every year my brothers and I placed well ahead of our grade in all aspects, including reading, mathematics, etc. One other thing I need to tell you to keep in mind, if you home school up to a certain point/grade, then decide for one reason or another that the kid is going back to public school, be prepared for that kid to be way ahead of all the other kids in his/her respective grade. The one year I went to public school in the first grade, I had already learned every single thing taught that year in my previous year of being home schooled for kindergarten. Then when I went from being home schooled up through 8th grade then started going to public school in 9th grade...I got straight A's with no effort in 9th grade because I had already learned everything my previous year in 8th grade being home schooled. One other thing these days in comparison to when I was a kid, there are a lot more options for education as well due to technology. Online course taught by live teachers and such. Anyway, if you have any other questions, hit me up.

  10. Power steering is for Nancy Boys. Kidding. While this build isn't really my "thing", I am really enjoying reading this thread, and have to admit, this is an impressive build. I like how you mounted the IC as well. Keep up the good work man.
