LEPD has an armorer. I think that is what Gun Envy has too. My son, Alex, is the gunsmith at Velocity Works in Westerville. He is a Master Certified Gunsmith and he fix just about anything. If the the part doesn't exist he can probably make it. You can check their reviews on google.

We went to Ricart once. They want ADM on a 2013 Focus ST. They're never dealin'

No idea. The route isn't released until you get there. Based on the river stopping location it could have the Ohio Dragon on the route. There are some of the best roads in the state east of I77. I was just on section of 555 between 78 and 377. It's in bad shape. One more regular winter without repaving could make it damaging to drive.

The drive is 280 miles down to the Hannibal Dam & Locks on the Ohio River. Then back to Tom's Ice Cream in Zanesville. It's $20 to The James Cancer Center. To sign up: Contact Susan Logan at slogan.osu@gmail.com or (740) 363-2203. Send her your name and the car you'll be driving. There are usually 80 to 90 cars on this drive. So it's like a rolling car show.

I'd take the $5k and wouldn't change anything on the car. The one pollutant it is out on is stricter on the US regs than the EU regs. So it's not like it a "dirty" car. It's still "cleaner" and a Pirus, all factors considered.

Do you mean you want more of the same?

Really? He wants more control than a Socialist or a progressive? Please. He may not be a "all hands off" guy like Ron Paul but cutting or eliminating a lot of government departments sounds like less control to me. Rolling back regulations that are killing US business and industries. Cutting taxes to keep companies from leaving the country. I never said he was libertarian. But shares some of the points-of-view. Both the dems what to increase spending and raise taxes. Then penalize companies that leave the country. Cruz has changed his pitch along the way to match up better with Trump after he saw the response. He or his people are smart. They know all the angles and can make all the side deals. Our governor that did the Obamacare medicare increase despite the vote of the people. That thinks we need more regulations to promote green energy. He would have done better on the dems. He even said it himself.

I did say he was not a poor common man. Yes it's easier if you've got some money to start with but he still built and expanded it beyond what it was before.

I read both Trumps books back before he was on TV. I didn't inherit money when he got started, nor was he a poor common man. He got a loan from his dad. Made millions then lost it all. But got back up and did it again even better. People mention about his failed businesses. The last list I saw had 10 of them. But there were over 100 successful ones. Not every business risk pays off and he is beating the average. Yes Trump will do stuff that benefits him just like he has in business. But in the process his businesses benefit. So now he business will be the country and it will benefit. People say he is unpredictable. Yes and no. In the larger scheme of things he will be predictable in the details he won't be. That's how he has succeeded in business. You don't want your competition knowing what your going to do. Now your competition are enemies. Kind of like not telling the enemy when you pulling out of county. I tend to lean toward the libertarian and conservative side but with some realism. Trump want to cut the size of government, pull back regulations that hurt businesses here, and stop giving money (aid) to countries that hate us. That goes to the libertarian side. He wants to secure the country and make it strong in the world. That goes the the conservative side. Trump want to shake up and clean out Washington. The "ruling class" has destroyed the country while living very well for themselves. It's time for the "ruling class" to go. The people should rule the country not a small group that think they no better. Yes Trump is rich, he's not one of the little people. But that's what it takes to go up against the establishment. The RNC has said for years that they wanted some one that can get independents, young, and democrats. Trump has done that and they fight him. Why? They can't control him and they will loose power.

For Ted I'm more worried about his history before he became a senator. He was an establishment man, a wall street guy that married a wall street girl that leans way to the left. I liked him before I started looking into him and his wife.

Of what you listed I vote to build the S2000. But I second the idea of the GT350 or even a Focus RS Another consideration is the last gen Supra. Great reliability and that engine can really be built.

Cross drilled for racing. Slotted or blank for the rest. Unless you want to pay really big bucks the holes are drilled not case in the rotors. They will crack and then you get to start over. There are a lot of different slot designs and shapes. Just straight slots tend to be noisy. I have curved slots and they are better. I only get noise under heavy braking. I understand staggered left right small slots are the best for noise.

There are a couple of reclaimed lumber places around Columbus. Here is one http://www.ohiovalleyreclaimedwood.com/ Also I have a client that uses these guys and says their prices are great. http://pioneermillworks.com/

Please remove this if it's inappropriate. If any one needs the services of a gun smith my son is a master gun smith trained at Pennsylvania Gun Smith school. He works out of Velocity Works in Westerville.

I took a group to the range in Jan to teach shooting. We started small with .22 and worked up to .45 for hand guns. That range didn't like the ammo I brought for some long guns so they only got to shoot a .22. I have a number of requests to do it again. The Delaware state park range is open now. I was going to plan an event sometime in June. The range pass is only $15. I only ask that you pay me back for the ammo you use. I wish I had a yard to shoot in. Shooting at paper is okay for a while.

Of the 1st and 2nd gen owners there are not many fans of the 3rd gen cars. Compared to other cars they are still small-ish but compared to a MINI their huge. Then compared to what else is on the market in the same class and fun factor their over priced. Thanks for the warm welcome. Looking forward to meeting some more people.

I double checked through an anonymizer and can see them ok

Stripes are optional. Mine did have them when I got it but removed them. JCW kit on an '05 is a new head, exhaust, injectors, reduction pulley for the supercharger, air box, colder plugs and tune. HP goes from 172 to 211 I had a custom tune and changed the intake a little for about 10 more hp. New wheels are from Drag (17lbs) with Conti DW. Brakes are for the second gen car with braided lines and Akabono pads. Springs are Swifts. Camber plates, air divider, skid plate, and rear control arms are from R53parts.com. Rear sway bar is Eibach. That's the performance changes so far.

For a rotary car to sell it needs to be in a real light weight chassis. So the benefits of the light motor carry on to the entire car. There are too many big-ish cars that get 15-20mpg with more power. A sleek body the size of the show car only makes sense with a hybrid motor. Rotarys are great for this application in the kind on design as in the Volt not the Prius.

Heat and patience. I've done it on a few cars. Cold and fast and you'll crack the paint.

I registered last Sept but I'm just getting around to posting. Currently I have an '05 MINI JCW with a few mods. I know a number of people that are on here and decided to join them.
