SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!!! Axeman at university and snelling.... (close to porkys???).... DIY wash place nearby.... who's in? I'm thinking we meet for lunch in the area around 11:30-noon-ish, then roll over to axman, and take it from there. EDIT: LINK to a map

So, Pete's post about the DIY catch can (which I started building today) got me think about replacing my factory coolant reservoir. Right now the stock one is kind of hanging out in a weird spot, and it's in the way of not only my intake, but also the access to the headlight bulbs. I'd like to...

Does anyone know if there are specific issues that must be addressed when relocating a battery from the engine bay to the trunk? Do you need to include any venting to keep it safe and/or street legal? How about running the battery wires--can those be routed under the carpet, or do they need to...

Okay, so I think it's already been firmly established that we need to have a meet to see F&F4 at the drive-in this spring (release is April 3rd, so hopefully it'll be at the drive-ins when it's nice out). What would push that idea over the cliff of awesomeness is if we made a group showing with...

Let me list off the symptoms I've been experiencing today, and maybe it will ring a bell in someone's head: -Upon startup/warmup this morning (-18F outside), I quickly noticed that the water temp needle was rising faster than I'd expect for just idling in cold cold weather. It leveled off at...

**Date finalized: May 17th!** Given the good times had on the camping trip last summer, and on the fall beer cruise, I'm going to put forward the idea that's in my head: Early morning departure from the south metro into WI; ~2 hours of hard driving through some twisties, and then a leisurely...

If anyone knows of any solid websites to order general car parts from, list them up here. It's nice to be able to do a bit of comparison shopping for replacement parts and not get screwed on dealer prices. www.rockauto.com -- I've used them a couple of times. Great selection of parts, and...

I guess this thread can be used for anything coffee-related, but I'm going to start it off by asking for a recommendation on a decent inexpensive 4-6 cup coffee maker. I'd like to keep it to $50 or less, but I'd go a little higher if something came recommended strongly enough. A thermal carafe...

I've got the band pack for the wii--includes everything you'd get if you bought it new: 1 guitar w/strap, 1 drumset w/drumsticks and kick pedal, 1 USB microphone, and the game disc. Except for scuffs on the rubber drum pads, everything is in like-new condition. Probably 15-20 hours total play...

Happy B-day!

Got an upgraded one for xmas, so if anyone has a use for my old one, it's yours. Just a basic 5+2 day programmable thermostat capable of controlling a 2, 3, 4, or 5 wire heating and/or cooling system (there's a switch for gas/electric heat)

So, I had a P-C 7424 on my wish list for xmas, but I ended up receiving a somewhat generic brand 10" orbital buffer (my dad no doubt choked at the idea of spending $100+ on a tool to apply wax to a souped-up econobox... lol). Aside from the fact that a 10" pad is on the big side for detailing...

:D

So, I got the thing running and driving this fall, but now that winter is here and I have to deal with juggling the thing on snow emergency days, I think the novelty/amusement has worn off. Anyone interested? Oh yeah, it's a 1990 festiva with custom flame paint. Has a hole in the exhaust...

Does anyone here have any first-hand knowledge of the block heaters that attach magnetically to the engine block/oil pan? Obviously, they aren't going to be as effective as the immersion type heaters, but I'm talking about for cars that are garaged anyways, and just for helping to reduce...

Exactly what the title says... replaces the factory j-pipe and midpipe on the MSP. No cats, just 2.5" pipe and a section of flexpipe. Has one O2 sensor bung. I'm not gonna lie, it's not in the greatest shape, but if you want to open up your exhaust for cheeeep, this will work fine. $40...

http://jalopnik.com/5084563/the-ten-greatest-minivans-of-all-time Hmm, the mazda5 did pretty damn well, considering that 2 of the 3 vans listed ahead of it are basically one-off supercars! lol

I was kind of thinking one of them would be a good x-mas gift for my mom (maybe even pre-loaded with a few pics of the kids for bonus sentimental points). Has anyone owned or used one before? Are they actually a nice thing to have around, or do they not work nearly as well as one might expect?
