In the grand scheme of things it's nothing too special, but I thought I'd post up a couple of pics in case anyone else was planning something similar. Plus most of my DIY constructions end up on the sketchy side so I was pretty proud of how it came out. lol
I made a slight measurement error...
Long story short, I'm driving a 2002 civic for awhile so I can do some work on the MSP.
Yesterday while driving home from work, after about 25-30 miles on the freeway, the radio started cutting out, then the ABS light came on, and then a minute later the instrument cluster went dead. I...
Backstory: I suddenly started noticing some weird symptoms and general system instability that I thought might be either a virus or the HD crapping the bed. After several hours of dicking around with antivirus, HD/system recovery software, and formatting/reinstalling windows I thought I had the...
I could've sworn we had a thread about this already, but I can't for of me figure out where it went. Anyways, my laptop's screen went kaput on me so I'm going to play around with it as a carputer since my in-dash screen has a VGA input.
There's a switch that closes when you shut the lid and...
Looks like the screen on our laptop shit the bed. Anyone have one they're looking to unload?
I'm most interested in something smaller with a 13-15" screen, and with XP but I'm not terribly picky. I just hate to go buy a brand spankin new laptop that's really only going to be used for web...
So, Wired had an article about "domestic terraforming" this month, and some of the tips really got my geek sense tingling. I've been wanting to get something going in the way of a small, efficient vegetable garden going for awhile now, but somehow it never gets done. So my goal for this...
Yeah yeah, I know I paid extra to have my badge mounting holes welded. But I'm looking at playing with a couple things....
-Mazdaspeed badge (any model really)
-Protege badge (prefer a non-mazdaspeed one)
-Possibly a small mazda logo (the size of the ones on the protege trunk)...
Cause I know someone around here has them.
-60mm fan
-wireless-g card
-SDRAM PC133 (does it still exist???)
Willing to trade some porkination or the equivalent monetary value or some crap from my free stuff thread!
My promotional period with comcast's "performance" package just ended, and I'm thinking about switching over to one of Quest's promotions. Previously, I've been very satisfied with comcast, but the 6 months on my current package have been just garbage. Seems like there's tons of latency and...

Quick backstory: About a week ago, I started noticing a momentary hesitation that would randomly pop up when I was around 8-12 inHg vacuum. I pulled a P0171 code (system too lean, bank 1 O2 sensor). Did a bit of...
It's about 3' x 6' top surface is in pretty good shape, and the frame/legs are metal. This thing is pretty beefy. I snagged it from work awhile back, but now I'm looking to open up that corner of the garage.
I don't want anything for the table, but the one thing I'd ask in return is, if...
This review may be a little slanted by the fact that my throwout bearing was COOKED when I replaced the clutch, but I figure it's worth typing up anyway.
Now, I had heard a lot of people talking about how a lighter flywheel can make the car tricky to get rolling in 1st gear so I was a bit...
So I was all set on buying a Harbor Freight special aluminum lo-pro floor jack ($60 with coupon!), but then I realized the total lift height is only a bit over 14". My $20 jack right now lifts to 12.5", so that's barely even worth my trip to HF, let alone the price.
I'm curious if anyone...
To help with a clutch install. Willing to pay: a few beers (or beverage of your choice) and the appropriate meals.
Where: My house
When: March 20 (tentative)
I'm ordering some Redline MT-90 from MAP pretty soon here. If there is enough interest, I'll get a whole case and pass the savings along to a lucky few peeps.
I just sent an email tonight, so I should have pricing in a couple days, but I recall prices being a couple bucks per quart cheaper...
... you have driven at least 10 consecutive miles with the windows at least a little bit open in the last few days.
Congrats, good sirs (and madams), for you greet spring like a true Minnesotan.
(also, having the heat cranked is fine, but if your windows were open for the sole...
