Re: Western Off Topic
Man,sorry to hear that.
I can kind of relate.After dropping that valve on my car(and taking with it the entire longblock,turbo,etc)it made it really hard to think about rebuilding,haha.It was much easier to shitcan it and move on to other projects.Hate that I never got a ride in your car though.
Checking parts thread now....BTW,you don't happen to still have those 5mm spacers and lugbolts do you?

BTW, I have a poor vid of the car when it blew. You can't tell it did in the vid, but its kinda cool to watch tho it's at nite and offers not much but sound and lean a/f's lol.

Re: Western Off Topic
Why yes, yes I do. Only one problem, hard to sell the car when it won't roll lol. Ill throw some loot to ya, or maybe I can sell the wheels/tires and just put the stock crap back on it to roll. Either way, I'll take care of you.

Re: Western Off Topic
I'll check on my LSD to see if the ratios are different, I don't remember what ratio mine is. If they are different I may hit you up. I hate how short my gears are now, quickens the car up but it's pretty nominal and really kills highway mileage. Unless I have things screwed up (which isn't outside the realm of possibility by any means) the 2.93 should give me longer gearing while retaining limited slip. It's a single-eared diff correct?

Re: Western Off Topic
I didn't know it had blown either till I looked in rear view and just saw smoke. Pulled off at elm and it had a miss and blowing smoke out the VC breather and tailpipe. Milked it home. Surprisingly still spooled up like normal and made good power, just lots of smoke lol. I borescoped it, decent size hole in the edge of the piston between exhaust valves lol.

Re: Western Off Topic
Not sure what kind of pay you're looking for,but the job thread posted here in the Western section about the ignition interlock company doesn't sound bad.I contacted him for more info,and it seemed like a decent deal.
Also,I think Safelite Glass on Williamson may be hiring.That job also has decent pay.

Re: Western Off Topic
Someone got hit by a train.. on foot.. in Christiansburg.
How in the FUCK does that happen? I don't remember who the comic was that had a routine about this, but you take two or three steps to the left, or to the right, and you've stopped the attacking train.
