  1. I vote its crap. Make sure you actually have oil in the car and the battery is up to par. If those are good, fire that thing up. My import garbage sits all winter with 50 weight in it and I don't have any issues. Surely the LS3 which is built by Zeus himself wont have any issues. I fired it up this year only because I had to take it down to the master melter's workshop. Even then, it was 25 degrees on 25% Ethanol. It had no problems firing right up because I keep the battery on a battery tender.
  2. I passed 4 cars in the ditch on my 7 mile commute near Canton. It is still coming down here but is a lot lighter than last night. I have about 6-7" of heavy snow on the drive. I had to shovel some of it to move it away. Also it just gives me a reason to bust out the plow on my ATV one last time this winter.
  3. Same happened to me this AM..I have never seen it freeze that quickly and that solid so fast. I literally had to pull over less than a mile from home and scrape the windshield and it froze again before the next mile... lucky for me by that time the defroster was taking care of some of the freeze and I was able to press though. Looks like this may hit the east side Cbus folks, but my neck of the woods is going to take a beating tomorrow on the AM commute... http://www.wkyc.com/weather/forecast-dee-tails-overnight-snow/43899796
  4. And now we begin with the new hot parts... I am going to try an experimental manifold from BPA. Hope to get good results on the dyno in a couple months. I will leave this here for now and fill in more details as the manifold comes together.
  5. Techniques to identify problems & Solutions cost/benefit matrix 5 Why exercises Spaghetti diagrams/Time studies Value stream mapping etc If you want to know more, feel free to contact me. I have always wanted to get into Lean consulting.
  6. Im going to go with IG has you on lock down.
  7. So this is for an office environment? Not a manufacturing environment?
  8. Is this an entry level class for people or is this a "train the trainer" style class to understand the principals behind cross functional teams and continuous improvement? In either case the biggest item is having drive from the top down on CI. Without management support, everything in CI is tossed by the way side when everyone gets out of an event and goes back to "there real jobs" As I have quite a bit of lean experience, If I was taking the class, I would want to know more of the theory and techniques to utilize during an event.
  9. That car has since been converted to haltec
  10. This thing bleeds 'merica. Please take more photos. Less potato cam would be nice as well.
  11. bump for weekend tinder stories
  12. Going to include my boost logic 4->5" muffler this year on a nice quality exhaust from BPA. I am excited because the previous exhaust I had was a bit low hanging, and had a tendency to drag. It also was recessed under the bumper and made the whole bumper black, which is just annoying. So I expect this little guy will be peeking out a bit from the underside for next season. I also am saying good bye to this trusty manifold. It faired well for me making 1100+ whp over the past few seasons, but I have finally decided to upgrade to a BPA manifold. I've always liked the quality of Alex's other work on my car and I am excited to get an optimized designed manifold on the car. Here is my T6 hot parts kit that is for sale. PM me if you are interested. ITS CHEAP! http://i1035.photobucket.com/albums/a440/miller11386/20160130_180710_zpssu3d3j7i.jpg

  14. Airport bars on week days. Id recommend one of the hub cities like charlotte or Atlanta.
  15. This conjures up old memories of a similar experience I had. I am not going into much detail but you can tell the high mileage units vs the ones that were cared for.
  16. I approve of this idea. Living vicariously though your..... uh .... "choices"
  17. Nothing wrong with a solid marriage and being happy. However its not nearly as entertaining to hear about as crazy psycho chicks out there. I have a lovely lady friend who I wouldn't trade for anything. That being said it still fun to hear the horror stories.
  18. I did. I also took a dump in the glove box for you to enjoy later. :fuckyeah: Looks like you are getting some good progress on it. Should be a neat car to whip around this summer when its done. I have always wanted a RHD car but have yet to make the leap.
  19. This is the best thread I have read all week. Kudos to everyone here being open and sharing. I have a friend who regales me via snapchat on similar things. Every one of them makes me chuckle.
  20. Wasting no time, the mani was pulled and new parts are being made. I am going to go with a BPA GEN 3 (Tri-Y) manifold and twin turbosmart HP Hypergates. Also its good to see old silver reunited with my car once again after a 2 year hiatus. They are both on much higher ground than they used to be! Circa 2013....
  21. New year and time to get going back in the re-assembly direction. I was able to get the rear end up to Don at AP who rebuilt the diff with the proper shim and bearing pre-load. He recommended some new fluid, so I figured I would give it a go. After getting the diff lubed up, I climbed back in the garage and re-assembled all the driveline parts on the old red head and got it mobile again. Now she is going off to an old favorite spot of mine. More updates to come. Here is a photo out in the snow in transit First time the car has ever seen a flake in my possession.
  22. Sewell racing in Youngstown, Ohio is a pro-efi dealer. http://proefi.com/info/locator/
  23. hairy pits, adams apple, she was a tranny bro. But seriously we have all been there, and I agree it dries up at 30. As with anything, if you arrive at the sale too late, only the shitty stuff is left. I have a mutual friend who has been dating chronically for years. She is 36 and has never found a "guy with quality" that fit her. Honestly im sure she is just too picky. Wants a dream guy, and at that age, they are all gone or have tons of baggage.
