  1. Sometimes a header flange can be slightly warped, but the only way to tell is to removed it and test it with a machinist straight edge. My BBK's would loosen over time, this was before locking header bolts. I'd try some of those Stage 8 locking bolts or there are some that have a set screw in the middle that when tightened spreads the outside bolt. Try the cheapest first...could be a gasket too, if the manifold was left loose and the exhaust has been allowed to burn the gasket.

     

    Hope this helps.

  2. The amish are some of the best carpenters/homebuilders in the country. Obviously very honest as well.

     

    I'm also a big fan of their "Shunning" technique, which can be used anywhere from ex-girlfriends to family members.

     

    We have several Amish crews here in the Fort. Honestly, they are no better than the mexican crews that build houses. Same quality and speed. They provide alot of the contract work to your average cookie cutter house builders.

     

    We have almost decided that we will use our previous home builder (Granite Ridge) again. Thanks everyone for you opinions and experiences.

  3. In high school I smarted off to a guy standing in front of me for lunch. He turned around and popped me in the upper lip, I fell and blacked out for a good 10 seconds. He was very apologetic for the rest of high school. Unfortunately I hold grudges pretty bad.

     

    I will stab him 20 times.

  4. Depending on your family situation, I would consider the size. After renting one for a week, (2009 model) the interior seemed very small. I rented the CTS4 which had plenty of power and the AWD was very nice. The navigation, heated seats and all of the gadgets made the car very "neat". Seating wasnt that comfortable if the car was driven for more than a couple of hours. Im 6' 165lbs wet...Just my .02 cents.

     

    Hope this helps.

  5. My 99 Sonoma is going to be built to handle, just not so srsly. I'm using AFX G-Body spindle, C5 brakes. Bell Tech lowering components and Sway bars for a 3/5 drop. In the rear I'm gonna use Caltracs for traction and a pan hard bar with more C5 brakes. It think it can only get better by using coil overs. Poly bushings through out.
