Rochester Swaggin at the local winery.............

 

Brings a whole new meaning to the term; Slammed.

 

sure nuff

It's not a screw. It's a plastic clip that spreads when the plastic screw lock is tightened. You loosen the screw lock & pop the whole thing out. Might be a dealer only item.

 

That clip looks/sounds like the kind that I had to remove to get to the rear deck (a bunch of them behind the rear seat)

 

Or a salvage yard item.

 

if so ill go get one from back there, ill be removing all those 14 bolts in a few to do the coilovers and im not putting back most of those pointless bolts and plastics

 

NICE....

 

Ain't it

 

Rochester...will these washers work?
Rubber (neoprene) backed, stainless steel:


I'm worries about the slight taper at the top...

And the M6 bolts...lowes must suck (or I suck at looking) since I can't find anything in 20mm length.

found a Fastenal store near my house, so I'm gonna stop by there tomorrow or Friday and see what they've got.

 

Aww man im pissed... Only 1 puppy left... The white one... I don't want a light fur German shepherd to be honest... I want the brown n black fur German shepherd because that light fur one is probebly gonna look more like a lab

 

Heartbroken.... There is something I don't deal with often..... Im just gonna pay somebody for the full breed shepherd...

 

On that note, I saw an Aspen White 91 Galant VR-4 Limited today. Guy said it was #1700-something. Looked almost pristine and very much like an Evo III (except not an Evo III). Still, very rare to see one on the road still! Used to have a Kensington Grey 92 VR-4. When I bought it, someone had pulled the number off it and there is absolutely no way to tell based on the VIN. Loved that car, but she was a project! Always working on the damn thing!

 

You should look at the rescues. Save a dog's life, save money, and find the right canine buddy. You'll thank me down the road. Here comes the plane... http://www.magsr.org/

 

Look at this guy. He's white and still looks cool. His name is Medic.

 

Rescues/shelters isn't a bad idea. After doing some digging around I found some Akitas on there; some free, some for cheap. And Akitas go for $1200 or so from a shop :P

 

Nothing wrong with white dogs. They're still good eatin'

..oh noes, my Asian is showing!!

 

Rookies!

Yea, I'm not gonna get n akita... But i was really looking forward to the shepherd.... Granted its mixed...

 

Mawnin

 

Morning. New course starts, today. Are you taking any over the summer?

 

 

 

yea, bishes gotta go

 

Fastenal is a great resource. If they don't have what you need, they will order it. And they can order virtually anything.

Those washers are actually pretty cool. Use some metal polish on the SS side. Here's a trick: dap the polish on a rag, then grip the washer with your nails and rub it into the rag, instead of the other way around. Then buff to a shine. They'll look great. (Use this same approach when polishing the heads of bolts, which actually works better because you can really grip the bolt shank and go hard against the polish.)

The rubber side will be fine, but if you over-torque them they'll crush and squeeze out the sides.

Here's another tip when polishing metal... or when working under the hood at all, for that matter: wear surgical gloves. You can get a 50ct box at the drug store for under $10.

I used those washers in my Max, in a variety of places. Here's a pic. Perfect use for the plastic MAF housing against the SRI adapter plate. Perfect fitment, too, if I say so myself.

 

Nope, gettin srs in the fall, I'm takin 6hrs again.

That's riiiiiiiight.

Where is he using these washers???? This looks fun....

 

 

 

Hustler, rescue your new pet if you can. But if you can't find the dog you're looking for, there's no shame in going to a breeder... because you're looking for a very particular dog.

I've always rescued my pets, just as my parents did. But a few years ago we were looking for a new cat, and I was very serious about getting a Russian Blue.

No regrets.

Not my cat here, but she looks exactly like this. Beautiful, smart creature.

 

have you ever tried to rescue an animal before?, specifically a dog from the shelter?... not trying to be funny just asking... ive been told by a lot of people to go that route but i would like to know if anybody has ever done so before

 

Yes. Many, many times. For me personally, it was always cats. Although my parents would get dogs from shelters.

If you don't know where to start, your best route is to go to a few of your local veterinarians and seek advice.

 

I have... thats the reason i asked... i would simply put it like this to others... unless you have a single family home or bigger, just go find a breeder and get the dog you want.... anybody in a town house or smaller, you will have a bad taste on how they go about saving a dog... never again for me... i did go there to get a puppy cane corso earlier this year, they simply will tell you no and they will appoint a dog of their choice to you...

 

people always say go the shelter route instead of buying because they are almost on a PETA trip. i dont knock it, but i'm not going to bend over backwards to go get a dog from a shelter because someone else is tripping/mad because dogs are being purchased.

 

their process to finding the correct owners is based on ur house size... because the reason the dogs are in the shelter because its the smaller homes kicking them out n mis treating them ... so if a full blown criminal and one of mike vick's boys went up to the shelter then because they own a bigger home then thats the best owner for the dog... its dumb bro....

 

I've had a few mutts and I won't do it again. Next dog will be a Golden retriever I think, a good pup for my little dude when he's around 4 years old maybe.

 

I plan on using 'em in the engine bay, where the M6 bolts go. Replace the bolts and throw these type things on 'em...not sure yet if I'm gonna paint the washers BT4 or polish 'em up (Thanks Roch for the tips on that)...will try each and figure which looks better.

Basically replacing what's currently there with these (and those type washers with the rubber backing):

 

Every shelter is different, depending on the people operating them, and their funding. Most people involved with animal shelters are far better humans than you or I. So if someone had a bad experience at a shelter, I'm less inclined to blame the organization than I am to suspect the prospective pet owner.

However, I have run into a few crazies and arrogant jerks over the years, too. There is no blueprint on the right thing to do or the people you're dealing with. Like I said, generally they're very caring, decent people.

Good luck, and please try harder with the rescue approach.

Either way, as long as you take responsible care of your pet, it's all good.
