Fecal icing on this whole shitcake....haha! Wow, people are pretty fucking stupid. I occasionally take my cars to get their oil changed, so I can't fault the guy for doing that.

Awesome story man, glad it worked out!

I have a Sam's membership because they are near me in Hilliard, but my boss has a Costco membership because she lives near one and we work near one at Easton. That said, when I go with her, I prefer Costco. If there was one equal distance to me in Hilliard, I'd go there.

Absolutely, I just got the car so my first goal is getting it to run right. I keep my cars quite clean so there's a ton that's bugging me right now, but don't want to invest too much if I can't get it running right.

Ordered plugs today (and some Moog tie rods) from RockAuto so they'll be here for this weekend. I guess we'll see!

As a Bengals fan, Dre Kirkpatrick is far from a stud. Is he a serviceable defensive end? Of course, he get's playing time. But he is definitely not a stud.

Yeah, I'll change those Wednesday. Looks like copper does well in these, probably going to pick up some BPR8ES tomorrow.

Swapped everything around tonight- 1) Reinstalled the PCV hose to IM and back of VC http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y225/chopperman19/IMG_3615_zpsbot6xv2b.jpg 2) Moved line from back of VC to pipe on intake http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y225/chopperman19/IMG_3613_zpsjjcyz0sh.jpg 3) Inspected CC and CC lines to make sure no clogs http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y225/chopperman19/IMG_3614_zpsmp0vgzwg.jpg Car won't start. Cranks, started for about 1 second and instantly died. Now it just cranks and cranks and cranks. What the fuck...one thing- the plugs are pretty beat up. I don't have any to swap tonight, but it ran yesterday (granted...pretty rough), and now it won't even start.

You and me both brotha. Steve-O is confusing the shit out of me- I have a 2 port catch can (I have another if needed but don't want to use it if I don't have to). Just to confirm, one final time since my fucking pea brain (or his, lol) is hesitant: 2 ports- 1 port goes to right side of VC (as it already is) and the other port goes to intake pipe, before filter. Reinstall the PCV system (luckily I kept it) and call it a day. It's that simple, right? Fuck.

Sounds to me like tonight I'm going to move the line to the back of the VC to my intake pipe and reinstall the PCV system.

Thanks so much JP. This probably sounds dumb, but should I just run the line that's on the back of the VC to where I plugged my PCV nipple? If that's the case, I'll do that tonight, change the plugs and see how she runs. Then it's off to SlowMo so I quit fucking around.

Not so fast. McCarron is no slouch and the rest of team is incredible. Not saying we are who we were at 12:59 today, but we aren't out yet. We'll win 2/3 and hopefully secure a first round bye to give Dalton an extra week. We can still get there.

I'm not sure how to do a leak down test...I do know how to do a compression test though. I did pull the intake pipe, no oil and no turbo shaft play. The charge pipes did have oil in them though. Good idea on pulling catch can lines...maybe there's a blockage...would that cause back pressure like that?

The turbo can be rebuilt for around $400 which is the likeliest option. But if I could spend $300-$400 more and get an upgrade without having to modify anything, I'd be game. Grant- I didn't drive it for fear of fucking something up. Idle does stabilize after warming up but I'm trying not to let it run too long. The car does run very rich and I planned to get it tuned in a few weeks. Should I compression test before pulling turbo?

Hi all, Picked up the Evo a few months ago and haven't had the best of luck so far. Here's a chain of events that led to the parking, and now potential teardown of this beast: 3 weeks ago I was beating the car pretty good (with Steve-O)- the dipstick blew out and I lost quite a bit of oil. Apparently it's a common problem, but I've since remedied with a Buschur dipstick spring. Parked the car and did the following: Battery Relocate Catch Can/PCV Delete Oil Change Started the car yesterday and it was ROUGH...really struggling to stay running, heavy exhaust smell and ultimately, oil blowing out of the exhaust/burning. I walked to the back of the car and found this: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y225/chopperman19/IMG_3592_zpslo6htcbc.jpg Here are pictures of the catch can install- 99.9% sure everything is correct: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y225/chopperman19/IMG_3597_zpshfuj6pls.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y225/chopperman19/IMG_3596_zpswgkmxpyh.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y225/chopperman19/IMG_3599_zpsegvht8iy.jpg Plugs: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y225/chopperman19/IMG_3598_zpsorhsfqz7.jpg Gauge readings- oil pressure: 27 , vac: -15, A/f: bouncin between 13/15 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y225/chopperman19/IMG_3601_zpsskf6mfsu.png Videos of it running: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y225/chopperman19/th_MOV_9987_zpseacjmviq.mp4 Revved it and built boost and this was the result: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y225/chopperman19/IMG_3600_zpsjktbdqck.jpg The car is heavily modded, stroked to a 2.3L, Evo 9 turbo, etc. Steve, myself and a few Evo friends tend to agree the turbo seals have given- does anyone disagree? Also, for the Evo/4g63 folks, is there a turbo that will require no modification to my existing setup that is an upgrade for under $750? It's internal wastegate and I'm not wanting to do a full tear down, so as little modification as possible. Thoughts? Thanks for the help!

Definitely appreciated. In real estate, I jumped in head first with no market knowledge at the age of 21 and made a crap load of money. Sounds like that won't work as well in this case.

So you buying more tells me it's worth buying. 52 week high is like $23/share, so basically potential to double your money on a long term hold...minus taxes. Is it even worth making 1k minus taxes?

No kidding- plus, how does Urban Meyer control some dumb fuck soliciting for a prostitute? These are people who make their own decisions- Urban can only help the punishment.

My father in law can eat a ghost like a pickle...pretty crazy shit. His first degree is in cross-pollination herbology, so he makes peppers that don't really even exist. When we have dinner together I can hardly breathe near some of the peppers he casually eats. If anyone is ever interested in some of his hybrids, let me know. He grows and cans 100's of them, to the point where he has a fridge dedicated solely to his peppers.

I've never bought stock before- what do you guys prefer to use and how long does it typically take to transfer money?

USO is down to $11.18....thoughts on buying 1-2k? I'm fine holding it for a year...is it going to hit $10.xx?

Dan Marshall- 614-679-1866. I've used him for multiple roofs and so have my co-workers (one of which has a huge house and it was 2k less than any other company that quoted). Let him know I sent you and he'll hook you up.

Agreed, most buyers are requiring it now so homeowners put it in proactively before listing. Franklin County is known for it right now- I wouldn't worry at all.

I'd 100% be down.

This thread is getting annoying as fuck. Bama is an incredible team- OSU is right there with them. If people can't see that they're worse than the right wing/left wing political idiots. At the end of the day, the only thing we can go off is the game last year and the realization that these 2 teams are an extremely close match. Congrats to Bama for continuing to be successful every year, and congrats to OSU for the same. I am born and bred a Buckeye, but comparing pork swords with another fan base is getting old. We aren't going to play for a NC every year- we had our shot against MSU and we blew it.
