This has probably been linked over at pirate, but I hardly ever take time to visit this site, much less that one. Anyway, I thought this was pretty damn cool. One could make a poor man's version with a regular LCD instead of HUD for some precise tire placement goodness... http://www.motorauthority.c...

Pretty cool video of welding with a high dynamic range camera setup:

depends on how much? running or not? $150 Yep, it ran just fine. I only bought the truck for the rest of the drivetrain so the engine has been mounted on a stand in my shed ever since. It must have some sort of seal leak due to the coating of rust-preventative on it (oil). Didn't smoke or anything ...

Want to buy a complete '81 22r?

This stuff is neat... an infinitely variable transmission that uses no friction components... its all gear-on-gear action, which means it can be made to handle loads of torque. I wonder if we'll ever seen anything like this make it into a 4x4. http://www.gizmag.com/steve-durnin-ddrive-d-drive-infini...

i pulled the locking nuts off of every car at the lube today. You will have to find the lock nut key for an explorer, bmw, civic, lincoln town car, and geo metro , in order to get your 31's back :goofy: That's fuckin hilarious. :lol2: What's hilarious is the idea of having lock nuts on a geo metro!

Well I don't have much know-how since I haven't done anything yet... but I would second the Toyota drivetrain, from the tranny all the way back if you go with more than the VW 1.6TD. If he's never gonna want any more power than that, you can stick with the samurai tranny and tcase, but I would still...

I'm having a new bed delivered tomorrow, so I need to get rid of our current king-size waterbed. It's old, big, and not very pretty, but it is functional... has shelves, cabinets, and a LOT of storage drawers and compartments underneath. So, who wants it?

I've always liked AstroGlide, but KY Liquid works too and is easier to find.

The tranny and tcase are now in my possession! Thanks go out to Stallings for picking it up and storing it for so long, and Krantz for finding room to fit it for the trek to Blacksburg!

I just found out about this thing and I'm considering using this as a tach for my samurai/VW swap... just thought it might interest some of you (they make versions for gas engines too).

He's in Windsor, which is not too far from Chesapeake, which would be a good bit out-of-the-way for you... But thanks for looking.

I remembered I forgot to post an update about this. The guy selling this stuff decided the engine was trash and tossed it. So it became just a tranny and tcase. Stallings graciously picked it up for me and has been storing it at his place. So, next time someone's up that way, if you've got room for ...

You might be able to convince me to get 5 of those... I was considering them but was planning to put off the decision until I could actually fit them on. If you can get a good group deal, that could make the decision for me.

Thought I'd give an update since I tried it out for the first time today.
