Damn I should send in an application. I can look out my front window and pretty much see you guys across the highway hahaha.

I forgot my other want for "cc".... http://www.atlanticfirearms.com/data/default/images/catalog/large/PTRPDWATLANTIC.jpg :dumb:

4chan stickam raids are always a riot. I've never been banned from a forum, but my friends and I used to see how fast it would take us to get banned from gaming servers. Never really could get banned on Quake unless you started hurling racial slurs, but CS:S you could get banned just for blinking wrong. Fastest ban time was 28 seconds, timed. Friend bought the M249 on Poolday, killed 5 people, kicked and banned for wallhacking and aimbotting (no cheats, we just played like fiends). My fastest was in the mid 30s.

They've been that way since the Tsars though, why worry about one Russian when there's another that can take his place? To be fair, the US military views it's soldiers the same way, just in a much more "friendly" fashion, i.e.: weapons built to price not performance, same with personal armor and armored vehicles. After all, why give a soldier better equipment when his front line life expectancy is only so long? Why not have 5 sets of equipment for the price of one excellent set?

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/krokodil-the-drug-that-eats-junkies-2300787.html "Oleg glances furtively around him and, confident that nobody is watching, slips inside the entrance to a decaying Soviet-era block of flats, where Sasha is waiting for him. Ensconced in the dingy kitchen of one of the apartments, they empty the contents of a blue carrier bag that Oleg has brought with him – painkillers, iodine, lighter fluid, industrial cleaning oil, and an array of vials, syringes, and cooking implements. Half an hour later, after much boiling, distilling, mixing and shaking, what remains is a caramel-coloured gunge held in the end of a syringe, and the acrid smell of burnt iodine in the air. Sasha fixes a dirty needle to the syringe and looks for a vein in his bruised forearm. After some time, he finds a suitable place, and hands the syringe to Oleg, telling him to inject the fluid. He closes his eyes, and takes the hit. Russia has more heroin users than any other country in the world – up to two million, according to unofficial estimates. For most, their lot is a life of crime, stints in prison, probable contraction of HIV and hepatitis C, and an early death. As efforts to stem the flow of Afghan heroin into Russia bring some limited success, and the street price of the drug goes up, for those addicts who can't afford their next hit, an even more terrifying spectre has raised its head. The home-made drug that Oleg and Sasha inject is known as krokodil, or "crocodile". It is desomorphine, a synthetic opiate many times more powerful than heroin that is created from a complex chain of mixing and chemical reactions, which the addicts perform from memory several times a day. While heroin costs from £20 to £60 per dose, desomorphine can be "cooked" from codeine-based headache pills that cost £2 per pack, and other household ingredients available cheaply from the markets. It is a drug for the poor, and its effects are horrific. It was given its reptilian name because its poisonous ingredients quickly turn the skin scaly. Worse follows. Oleg and Sasha have not been using for long, but Oleg has rotting sores on the back of his neck. "If you miss the vein, that's an abscess straight away," says Sasha. Essentially, they are injecting poison directly into their flesh. One of their friends, in a neighbouring apartment block, is further down the line. "She won't go to hospital, she just keeps injecting. Her flesh is falling off and she can hardly move anymore," says Sasha. Photographs of late-stage krokodil addicts are disturbing in the extreme. Flesh goes grey and peels away to leave bones exposed. People literally rot to death. Russian heroin addicts first discovered how to make krokodil around four years ago, and there has been a steady rise in consumption, with a sudden peak in recent months. "Over the past five years, sales of codeine-based tablets have grown by dozens of times," says Viktor Ivanov, the head of Russia's Drug Control Agency. "It's pretty obvious that it's not because everyone has suddenly developed headaches." Heroin addiction kills 30,000 people per year in Russia – a third of global deaths from the drug – but now there is the added problem of krokodil. Mr Ivanov recalled a recent visit to a drug-treatment centre in Western Siberia. "They told me that two years ago almost all their drug users used heroin," said the drugs tsar. "Now, more than half of them are on desomorphine." He estimates that overall, around 5 per cent of Russian drug users are on krokodil and other home-made drugs, which works out at about 100,000 people. It's a huge, hidden epidemic – worse in the really isolated parts of Russia where supplies of heroin are patchy – but palpable even in cities such as Tver. It has a population of half a million, and is a couple of hours by train from Moscow, en route to St Petersburg. Its city centre, sat on the River Volga, is lined with pretty, Tsarist-era buildings, but the suburbs are miserable. People sit on cracked wooden benches in a weed-infested "park", gulping cans of Jaguar, an alcoholic energy drink. In the background, there are rows of crumbling apartment blocks. The shops and restaurants of Moscow are a world away; for a treat, people take the bus to the McDonald's by the train station. In the city's main drug treatment centre, Artyom Yegorov talks of the devastation that krokodil is causing. "Desomorphine causes the strongest levels of addiction, and is the hardest to cure," says the young doctor, sitting in a treatment room in the scruffy clinic, below a picture of Hugh Laurie as Dr House. "With heroin withdrawal, the main symptoms last for five to 10 days. After that there is still a big danger of relapse but the physical pain will be gone. With krokodil, the pain can last up to a month, and it's unbearable. They have to be injected with extremely strong tranquilisers just to keep them from passing out from the pain." Dr Yegorov says krokodil users are instantly identifiable because of their smell. "It's that smell of iodine that infuses all their clothes," he says. "There's no way to wash it out, all you can do is burn the clothes. Any flat that has been used as a krokodil cooking house is best forgotten about as a place to live. You'll never get that smell out of the flat." Addicts in Tver say they never have any problems buying the key ingredient for krokodil – codeine pills, which are sold without prescription. "Once I was trying to buy four packs, and the woman told me they could only sell two to any one person," recalls one, with a laugh. "So I bought two packs, then came back five minutes later and bought another two. Other than that, they never refuse to sell it to us, even though they know what we're going to do with it." The solution, to many, is obvious: ban the sale of codeine tablets, or at least make them prescription-only. But despite the authorities being aware of the problem for well over a year, nothing has been done. President Dmitry Medvedev has called for websites which explain how to make krokodil to be closed down, but he has not ordered the banning of the pills. Last month, a spokesman for the ministry of health said that there were plans to make codeine-based tablets available only on prescription, but that it was impossible to introduce the measure quickly. Opponents claim lobbying by pharmaceutical companies has caused the inaction. "A year ago we said that we need to introduce prescriptions," says Mr Ivanov. "These tablets don't cost much but the profit margins are high. Some pharmacies make up to 25 per cent of their profits from the sale of these tablets. It's not in the interests of pharmaceutical companies or pharmacies themselves to stop this, so the government needs to use its power to regulate their sale." In addition to krokodil, there are reports of drug users injecting other artificial mixes, and the latest street drug is tropicamide. Used as eye drops by ophthalmologists to dilate the pupils during eye examinations, Dr Yegorov says patients have no trouble getting hold of capsules of it for about £2 per vial. Injected, the drug has severe psychiatric effects and brings on suicidal feelings. "Addicts are being sold drugs by normal Russian women working in pharmacies, who know exactly what they'll be used for," said Yevgeny Roizman, an anti-drugs activist who was one of the first to talk publicly about the krokodil issue earlier this year. "Selling them to boys the same age as their own sons. Russians are killing Russians." Zhenya, quietly spoken and wearing dark glasses, agrees to tell his story while I sit in the back of his car in a lay-by on the outskirts of Tver. He managed to kick the habit, after spending weeks at a detox clinic ,experiencing horrendous withdrawal symptoms that included seizures, a 40-degree temperature and vomiting. He lost 14 teeth after his gums rotted away, and contracted hepatitis C. But his fate is essentially a miraculous escape – after all, he's still alive. Zhenya is from a small town outside Tver, and was a heroin addict for a decade before he moved onto krokodil a year ago. Of the ten friends he started injecting heroin with a decade ago, seven are dead. Unlike heroin, where the hit can last for several hours, a krokodil high only lasts between 90 minutes and two hours, says Zhenya. Given that the "cooking" process takes at least half an hour, being a krokodil addict is basically a full-time job. "I remember one day, we cooked for three days straight," says one of Zhenya's friends. "You don't sleep much when you're on krokodil, as you need to wake up every couple of hours for another hit. At the time we were cooking it at our place, and loads of people came round and pitched in. For three days we just kept on making it. By the end, we all staggered out yellow, exhausted and stinking of iodine." In Tver, most krokodil users inject the drug only when they run out of money for heroin. As soon as they earn or steal enough, they go back to heroin. In other more isolated regions of Russia, where heroin is more expensive and people are poorer, the problem is worse. People become full-time krokodil addicts, giving them a life expectancy of less than a year. Zhenya says every single addict he knows in his town has moved from heroin to krokodil, because it's cheaper and easier to get hold of. "You can feel how disgusting it is when you're doing it," he recalls. "You're dreaming of heroin, of something that feels clean and not like poison. But you can't afford it, so you keep doing the krokodil. Until you die." Some of the names in this story have been changed" Nasty stuff, I wonder when it'll finally hit stateside. Cincinnati is already having a meth problem, can you imagine this hitting in right behind it?

Pretty much. Given how hard they've partied over the last decade I'm sure he's got a tolerance a frat house couldn't beat. Plus 24 beers over 24 hours = sleep after hour 18. Unless you're playing one hour of power repeatedly. Then its just puke everywhere.

Mine are definitely migraines, can't get 'em diagnosed now though because I don't have insurance, so I don't want a pre-existing condition. But yeah, light/sound/movement aversion, excruciating pain, the norm. Never puked though. The one I mentioned was so bad I nearly stabbed my dogs because they wouldn't stop barking and it felt like it was killing me.

I had a small kidney stone, that wasn't fun. I'd say the worst I ever had was a migraine I had last summer, or when I was a kid I had a double ear/double sinus infection. I woke up to smashing my head into a concrete floor trying to stop the pain, literally using my hands to help my head smash into the concrete. The pain was indescribable. The migraine was just as bad, I was in the fetal position but upright, with my head on the bed debating screaming or crying. The best part is my bosses called and asked when I would be back in, and when I told them I wouldn't be, they got pissed and wished me the best of luck with "my little headache." 13 hours of joyous, why did I ever quit drinking pain later, I finally passed out and was able to function like a person again.

I hope this isn't wrong to do since I'm a new member, but there's an event going on this Friday afternoon in Circleville at the Raceway Park off of US-23. I'll give you guys a quick rundown; mods if this is a problem just let me know: Who's hosting: Outbrake Motorsports When: June 17th, gates are open at 4pm, driving starts at 5 and ends at 10. Costs: Drivers $35 Passengers: $10 Spectators: $5 It's a small, very technical track that everyone seems to really enjoy, so come on down if you'd like, I'll most likely be there barring any problems. Timing is either done with electronic eye or GPS transponder depending on driver preference. The address is 19413 US Highway 23 North Circleville, OH 43113

2uz-fe is an iron block with alloy heads, weighs approximately 80 pounds more than its siblings the 1 and 3uz. They're excellent blocks if you're looking to make loads of horsepower, but if you're worried about maintaining balance I'd toss the crank into an early 1uz block and use appropriate rods and pistons to match. You'd still be a 4.7L, just without the added weight. Alternatively there are other options as well, the 1uz-fe without vvti is extremely tunable, cams, supercharger manifolds (using the ubiquitous Eaton M series), individual throttle body manifolds, and even Holley carb manifolds are available, and they're much easier to tune with an aftermarket ecu given the lack of vvt. Here's a great website with loads of information and discussion on the engine and tuning possibilities. www.v-eight.com Also check out this link for an idea of tuning the car if you go with a vvt based engine, 4.3L all alloy quad cam making silly power at 9300 rpm (short shifting no less, cams were designed for 10k+): http://www.v-eight.com/tech_forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=99 I would recommend heavy reading before diving into the swap, as parts can be somewhat problematic to find. I was thinking about doing it for a long time, but decided I didn't want to run a ton of power and I'm broke as a joke. I will say this: the engine itself is fantastic, but do not use the factory intake manifold, exhaust manifolds, or ECU. You'll be putting out a max of about 180 hp and 240 tq if you do, they're huge bottlenecks and they're wastes of time. A back to back dyno between equal 1uzs, the only difference being one had ITBs, showed a 75+ horsepower increase just by going ITB (185 vs 274 iirc). Both of those were W58 transmission Soarers with fully programmable ECUs and headers/exhaust. That's how terrible the factory manifold is. Mild cams will also give massive gains, a1turbos in New Zealand is currently putting down over 330 whp with what amounts to being a mild 256 or 264 grind in their rally Levin with ITBs. Some vids for you to enjoy haha: 13.x:1 compression, 288 cams, itbs w/ trumpets lengthened 100mm, w55 or w58 trans, headers/exhaust, and standalone. 370 whp iirc, may be a bit less. Ed's JZA80, 410 whp and 9300 rpm redline. He's now building a new block and dry sumping the engine to make more power and rev it to where it needs to be.

As far as the project goes, there's still much to be done. I'd like to get some decent lightweight wheels, but those cost crack money, so I'll likely go Diamond Racing lightweight wheels and be done with it (the DOT rims are not in the cards). Other odds and ends are fine tuning the carbs, a few lightweight body panels, and fixing the remainder of the rust as well as a numerically higher R&P for a bit more acceleration. After that its beatings, beatings, and more beatings at the track. Other crap that will bore you to wondering what the end of a gun barrel tastes like includes my other hobbies, which include lots of reading, fabrication, and photography, amongst a bunch of other crap. We've been here for a year so I've had lots of time to work on it all, just not enough to fund anything serious haha. I'm a big fan of small batch beers, and I fully believe that to properly enjoy a car it must be driven. Again, anything else just ask, its a pleasure to meet all of you and I hope to see you at Cars and Coffee some time!

What's up guys? Thought I'd finally pop my head out of the sand and say hello to all the locals. There's a few of you guys on here that I'm sure know me (either of the Farkas brothers if they're on here), others I'm sure are going to look at me like a lunatic, a kook, or a possible fire hazard to be found along the side of the road :gabe: Long story short: Cincinnati sucks, wanted something better, came up here w/ the gf to go to OSU, still trying to get back into school a year later. I did however bring my project up with me, its affectionately termed "the DeathTrap", or alternatively "the Shitheap". Either/or is considered acceptable; really any name with a long, descriptive list of epithets, profanities, and general hatred sounds just about right for it. Without further ado, I introduce my metal ruination: http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa103/maddhack86/th_DSC_0460.jpg http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa103/maddhack86/th_DSC_0459.jpg http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa103/maddhack86/th_DSC_0456.jpg http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa103/maddhack86/th_DSC_0453.jpg http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa103/maddhack86/th_DSC_0452.jpg http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa103/maddhack86/th_DSC_0451.jpg http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa103/maddhack86/th_DSC_0448.jpg http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa103/maddhack86/th_DSC_0447.jpg http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa103/maddhack86/th_DSC_0445.jpg http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa103/maddhack86/th_DSC_0443.jpg http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa103/maddhack86/th_DSC_0441.jpg http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa103/maddhack86/th_DSC_0440.jpg Those are slightly old, I did a few odds and ends to make it cope with my new battery: http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa103/maddhack86/th__DSC0194.jpg http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa103/maddhack86/th__DSC0196.jpg Those are all just thumbnails to conserve space, click on them for a higher resolution photo.
