I wish there were more 6-speed manual M6/5s out there!
I always toy with the idea of an M5/M6. I want a 6-speed though. The mechanics of a SMG (long term reliability) bother me ... also its just plain and simple not as much fun as a traditional 6-speed manual
Im completely torn on what my next purchase is going to be. Do i get CPO 335xi 6speed, do i get a M5/M6 if I can find one, do i settle for a SMG, do i order a new m3 coupe, ugh
decisions decisions decisons... may just sit on it for now and save more money.w
Have you driven the SMG? Admittedly it does take some getting used to, but after I drove it for a week I fell in love with it. Now I can't see myself ever driving something without an SMG or DTC type transmission with paddles!
Oh and if you drive an M6 for a month, trust me, a 335 is not going to do much for you. The M3 is definitely a good option though. You will sacrifice some luxury for a bit more performance in the twisties. The M3 also seems to be more reliable.
For me the M6 is the perfect driving experience. It can transform from a comfortable cruiser to an absolute maniac. The scream of the V10 at 8,000 RPMS is just crazy!
It's not that the 335 is a bad car, it's just that the overall experience of the M is on a completely different level. The looks of the car, the sound of the engine/exhaust, the rush of passing 8,000 RPMS, the leather wrapped cabin, and of course knowing you are in a V10 beast! Driving experience is of course subjective, but for me this car is about the best BMW has to offer.:)
If it is going to be your DD then I would say go with and SMG transmission.
I Don't mean to be rude but why are you even thinking about a 335xi?
A 335xi and a M3 or M6 is like trying to compare a Ferrari F430 to a V-8 Ford Mustang! Two totally different worlds.
David I wished you lived closer so we could ride together. Nothing compares to an M6 with Eisenmann top down doing a buck 20 chasing another M6!!! :rofl::rofl:
Had driven a 6MT 545i for the last six years, and believed I wanted a 6MT ///M car also, but now that I have the SMG, I am getting used to it and believe that it was the right choice. One thing to keep in mind is the speed of the shifts is directly related to the throttle position. The actual programs (S1-S6) have some bearing, but the major influence is the throttle position. Thus, even in M-mode, S5/6, you will still get lazy shifts if you are using light throttle to accel leisurely, and in P400, Comfort, S3, you will get quick shifts if the throttle is floored. Even in D mode on the freeway loping along in 7th gear, if you need to pass and push the pedal, you will be in 5th in no time blasting your way to 100mph. The SMG is certainly smoother in all situations than I ever was with my left foot. The rev-matching blips on downshifts are sublime.
Im waiting to see if Im gonna need to drive 100 miles round trip for work or not .
so thats y the 335xi coupe would come into play. it would be more of a DD right now i DD my z06 but im keeping the z06.
the 335xi also is half the price of a CPO m5/6
If I were you i would sell the Z06 and get and M6. Guaranteed to have more fun in the M.:thumbup:
Before I bought my M6 i was looking at a red 08 Z06 and just didn't fall in love with her after the test drive and for the kind of money these cars are I couldn't pull the trigger without loving the car. Don't get me wrong the Z06 is a beautiful looking car you just see so many of them and with the stock vette's driving around the average person can't tell the difference.
Keep us updated on what you end up going with.
I make good money at my job but 100 miles x 20 ish work days per month is 2,000 a month at 11-15 mpg on an m5-6 lol ill be spending like 75% of my salary on commuting to work between gas, parking, car payment etc; hahaha
I actually averaged 20.4 MPG this weekend on a three hour interstate trip, but over the last 4-5000 miles of city driving I was getting 10.5.
335xi in 6-speed drove very nice. the M is a big purchase to make without my life being 100% settled... especially since I already have a 500+ hp sports car
I would hate to buy it then change work locations and have to sell it, then get settled then rebuy one . if you follow> !
I still say sell the vette lol ;)

Yesterday, the NHL's senior executive vice-president of hockey operations, Colin Campbell, issued this statement in regards to Daniel Briere's blown off-sides call in the Flyers 4 - 3 OT win over Pittsburgh --
"There's no other way to explain it but a missed call," Campbell told The Canadian Press in an interview. "We're as upset as Pittsburgh almost. It's a mistake.
"It was a quick turnaround," said Campbell. "You can see it was a quick 70-foot pass -- the linesman was up with the play and then had to move quickly back and he saw it from the angle he saw it from. But still his job is to get the right call and he didn't."
Funny. No mention of how Dupuis scored Pittsburgh's third goal of the first period off of a non-called icing penalty, which (at the time) credits the Penguins a three goal lead over Philadelphia. A deficit that deep on the scoreboard may have been the finishing move on the Flyers' chances of sparking any comeback. It could have buried any lesser team.
Luckily for us Flyers fans, that was obviously not the case.
But nevertheless, Mr. Campbell is evasively insinuating that because of a linesman's incompetence, Pittsburgh was stripped of their custody over the contest's tempo.
And again, never any mention of Pittsburgh's icing in the final minutes of the opening frame.
What am I getting at?
Well, I am not trying to strengthen any conspiracy theory that the League and its big wigs are doing everything in their power to make sure Sidney Crosby and the rest of the Pittsburgh Fowls advance forward in the Playoffs.
I won't give them that much credit.
Because if that were the case, it'd mean they had the brain power to formulate such a vindictive campaign.
However, what I will allude to is that figureheads -- like Colin Campbell in the NHL's castle -- notice and value the type of advertising, revenue and acclamation the Penguins can generate because of....certain players.
In fact, Game 1 of the Penguins & Flyers QuarterFinals achieved Most-Watched Opening Night Playoff Game in Net's History & Best Opener in a Decade ~ source
Business is business, and the NHL is a business. It needs to continue making money. Like any other business, the Benjamins are its lifeblood. And though I agree the officiating missed Briere's blatant off-sides, I believe it is incredibly unprofessional (and unbusiness-like) of Campbell to give prominence to a blown Philadelphia infraction and NOT what happened against Philadelphia just a stanza before.
And it certainly doesn't help the NHL's policing of its players and coaches who decide to lash out about their on-ice administrators.
Remember back to this season's Winter Classic?
New York Rangers bench boss John Tortorella went off in a post-game press conference (no surprise there) about the officiating in the new-found seasonal tradition --
"I'm not sure if NBC got together with the refs and wanted to turn this into an overtime game," Tortorella said. "For two good referees, I thought that game was reffed horribly."
Torts was fined $30,000.00 for his words against the system that feeds him and his family.
Immediately following the NHL's decision to fine Tortorella, Colin Campbell issued this statement --
"There is no acceptable explanation or excuse for commentary challenging the integrity of the league, its officials or its broadcast partners," Campbell said in a statement. "People can disagree with calls by officials on the ice, but even in instances of the utmost frustration, there is no justification for speaking as inappropriately and irresponsibly as Mr. Tortorella did."
Though Campbell's assertion on Briere's off-sides wasn't nearly as brazenfaced as John's after the Winter Classic, it absolutely, no doubt, challenges the integrity of these League officials.
And MORE SO, if you ask me.
Tortorella is known for acting like a smacked ass in front of the camera. What he says on recording equipment is generally taken with a side of salt. But Mr. Campbell, being the League aristocrat that he is, comes off as an incredible hypocrite, and brings the NHL down with him.
Now, if I may use a much more current example (and the main influence behind this article's creation); In last night's Game 1 between the Phoenix Coyotes and Chicago Blackhawks, 'Yotes forward Taylor Pyatt capitalized on a scoring chance inside Chicago's zone --
What an incredible effort keeping the puck behind Chicago's blue line. But anyways...
The controversy here is that the Coyotes clearly had too many men on the ice at one time. As they were getting fresh legs on the next shift, there were six Phoenix skaters on the frozen pond.
Play should have immediately been blown dead, thus eliminating the Coyotes' chance before the goal was scored. But it wasn't.
Another missed call by the NHL's employed referees.
This Pyatt goal added to the final 3 - 2 Phoenix victory. Without that goal, the Hawks would have won in regulation. The game would have never gone to overtime with a 2 - 2 score.
At least, according to the logic of Colin Campbell.
Danny Briere capitalized on his breakaway after cheating over the blue line. Pyatt capitalized on his wrister after a too-many-men call was missed right in front of a linesman in last night's Phoenix win.
Both Clubs are up on their adversaries 1-game to none in their QuarterFinals series. Both Clubs have a controversial goal which -- without it -- would never had given them the opportunity to win had the correct call was made on the ice.
The only difference between Phoenix's circumstance and Philadelphia's circumstance is that Philadelphia's opponent also capitalized on a non-call. And according to the logic at hand, Philadelphia would have won Game 1 by a 3 - 2 decision in regulation. But you won't hear a damn thing from that puppet Campbell about that. You won't hear Campbell issue a statement about Pyatt's goal following a too-many-men infraction.
Because the Blackhawks don't have a flightless fowl as their crest stitched on their sweaters. It never happened against Pittsburgh, so why even bother acknowledging it?
Professional hockey games are not played in a vacuum. There are thousands of tangible and intangible variables that can influence the game's pulse at once. So I won't even pretend to believe Briere's blown off-sides call is what lost the Penguins the match.
And neither will the Pens head coach --
"That's not why we lost the game," coach Dan Bylsma said immediately afterwards.
Good man. I wish his fans shared the same sentiment.
So, should I hold my breath for Campbell's issued statement regarding the blown call in Glendale, AZ?
Only if I want to do my best impression of David Carradine.

SLIDESHOW: WSHS lady Wildcats fall to Islanders 38-32
When a game is close all it takes is missed shots and lack of rebounds late in a contest to get a loss. That's what happened to West Seattle in their first round match up against Mercer Island at the Hawks Nest on the campus of Chief Sealth High School.
In the beginning the Wildcats had control of the game pulling away from the Islanders in the first period 10-6 and extended their lead by six at the half 20-14 with the hot shooting of Lexi Ione's seven points. West Seattle went into the locker room with an air of confidence, but that would be misleading.
In the second half the Islanders found and answer to the Wildcat offense and made West Seattle shoot off balance and when the shots failed the Islanders grabbed the rebounds and pressed the ball to their end of the court.
Mercer Island's defense crowded the area under the hoop. Every time West Seattle found a lane and drove to the basket the Islanders double and triple teamed the ball handler and either forced a turnover or blocked the shot. On several occasions the Wildcats were forced to turn the ball over due to shot clock violations.
The Wildcats continued to work hard. In the fourth period almost every play resulted in a skirmish over the ball with players from both teams splayed out on the floor.
But West Seattle looked tired at this point. When Wildcat shooters would attempt shots from the arc they fell woefully short into the hands of waiting Islanders who would quickly push the ball up court for a shot.
With three minutes left in regulation West Seattle tied the game at 32 all but that would be the last points they would score and as the clock expired the Wildcats came up short 38-32.
West Seattle isn't out of it yet having another game on Friday at Bellevue Community College. The opponent has not been announced. Game time is 8:15 pm.

Nutrient losses and nitrogen mineralization on forested watersheds in Oregon's Coast Range
Miller, James H.
File Name:
Nutrient losses of the biologically responsive anions, nitrate and bicarbonate together with the major cations, were monitored on 14 small watersheds in Oregon's Coast Range and evaluated in relation to management-induced disturbance. Mixed forests of Douglas-fir and red alder had dominated these high-nitrogen sites prior to treatment. A paired-watershed experimental design with duplicated treatments and untreated controls was employed at three study sites to examine effects of deforestation treatments on nutrient retention. The treatments represent combinations of conventional techniques for converting mixed hardwood-shrub forests to conifer stands: 1) herbicide suppression of competing alder and shrub layer; 2) pre-harvest herbicides and clearcut Logging; and 3) clearcut logging, herbicides and slash burning. During the approximately two years of streamwater monitoring following treatments, no significant increases in dissolved solids were observed. No consistent differences appeared between treatments or between cut and uncut watersheds. Nitrate concentrations (2.8 ppm N maximum) never exceeded U. S. Public Health Service (1962) standards for drinking water. Clearfelling and herbicide treatment on one south-facing watershed did result in abnormally high concentrations of the bicarbonate anion (82 ppm maximum) and the sodium cation (21 ppm maximum) during summer base flows. Total bicarbonate loss was small because streamflow was low, preventing excessive loss of accompanying cations. Moderately high nitrate levels were characteristic of all watersheds, regardless of treatment, due to the presence of red alder. Average streamwater concentrations of nitrate ranged from 0.4 to 1.9 ppm N, for all samples collected from the individual watersheds. Soil solution samplers were used to monitor the nitrate and bicarbonate anions in the soil profile under a residual red alder stand and an adjacent alder site recently cleared. Samples of soil solution were extracted weekly during the spring from three soil depths, 10, 65, and 130 cm. Higher concentrations of nitrate were found in soil solution than were observed in the streamwater. Concentration decreased with soil depth in both the residual stand and devegetated area. Nitrate uptake and immobilization by tree roots does not appear essential for nitrogen conservation on the gently sloping reliefs examined. Nitrogen mineralization was further scrutinized using a soil incubation experiment with soils from under Douglas-fir and under red alder. Sixteen combinations of four soil moistures and four temperatures were utilized for study over three incubation periods. Nitrification rates are substantially greater in alder soils; while ammonification rates appear similar for the two soils within the normal operating regimes of temperature and moisture. In very wet alder soils the mobile nitrate anion is reduced to the less mobile ammonium cation and ammonification rates are minimal. This behavior appears to be important in nutrient retention during winter flushings when high soil moisture is prevalent in the lower soil profile and in wet source areas (slowly draining areas) that characterize parts of these watersheds. The combinations of temperature and moisture exhibiting the highest rates of nitrogen mineralization (suggesting unstable states) were not encountered in the field under stands or in cleared situations. Soil temperatures above 21°C combined with moist but unsaturated conditions results in the highest rates of nitrate production. This, and the observed behavior of the nitrogen-rich watersheds, suggest that nitrate losses in streamwater following forest disturbance are only likely in climatic regions of summer-surplus precipitation.

Insulation of pex tubing?
I have a 'large' house with about 4000+ sq ft of radiant heat on my first floor that uses stadler heat panels with pex tubing run in them. I also have a huge basement (4000 sq ft, all unfinished space) that has pex tubing, manifolds and copper pipe running all over it to get to all the different zones in the house (carpet, wood, tile). My basement ceiling is insullated with thick (probably at least R-19 - whatever code is) insulation. Some of the pex is between the insulation and the floor, some of it is exposed (not insulated) to the basement. In addition, all the manifolds (probably 10 of them) are exposed to the basement. The copper pipe to the manifolds is all insulated with the standard 1" foam stuff. As a result of having pex and manifolds (and the whole hot water distribution system see below) exposed in the basement , my basement temperature is actually warmer than the house most of the time (65 degrees) and I believe I am wasting a lot of energy heating the basement.
I am looking for suggestions on the best way to insulate the manifolds and the hundreds of feet of exposed pex.
further, I have a corner of the basement with a wall of pumps, the furnace, temperature control loops, and distribution pipes that also generates a lot of heat. I asked the heating contractor (now out of business) if I can close in this area or cover up all the pumps and controllers with insulation to keep the heat in that area from heating the whole basement and he said not to do it as it may overheat the controllers (tekmar 360 and viessmann furnace controller). The furnace gets fresh air for combustion from the co-axial exhaust pipe so make up air is not required. Any thoughts on being able to enclose this whole heating section of the basement (10' x 12') to keep heat in there?
I am guessing that I am wasting a lot of energy heating this basement for no reason.
any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. as i said, the contractor is now out of business so he is no help. I am on my own. I can send/post pictures if my question is not clear.
PEX piping is freeze damage resistant and can expand and contract as water freezes and thaws within the tubing. No tubing material is freeze-break proof, however, and PEX should be installed using the same locally-prescribed insulation requirements to prevent freezing of any plumbing system. "
Sounds like some good ole r-13 between the joist will do the job.
Hope this helps........
PEX insulation
If... your basement is mostly underground and has little heat loss (windows, doors, etc.) then your basement would maintain approx. 55 degrees year round. With R-19 below your 1st floor radiant tubing, you are directing very little to the basement. All of the exposed transmission piping from the boiler out can add considerable heat to the basement. I would start with insulating the copper tubing with 1/2" wall armaflex and witness the results for a few days. If there is still too much heat in the basement for your liking, then move to insulating the PEX.

FCC Eases Rules for Airline Internet
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has eased licensing for in-flight Internet services on airlines flying in the U.S. Further, the agency has asked the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to relax restrictions on in-flight use of electronics such as Internet-ready smart phones and tablets.
Since 2001, the FCC has authorized companies to offer Internet access on a case-by-case basis. The new rules will establish standards for not interfering with aircraft controls and open up the market to any provider who can meet those standards. If the FAA cooperates, then this would also create a list of safe devices that can be used to access the Internet from the plane.
The new FCC rules also set up protocols for satellites to communicate with mobile devices and airliners to provide access. In these systems, an antenna on the aircraft communicates with satellites, gaining access to the Net. The plane can then offer WiFi or similar connectivity for passengers in the cabin.
The new rules will give faster and more efficient licensing and will open them up to more providers, giving airlines and passengers more options for connectivity.
This is great news for travelers who may be tired of the general Internet blackout that seems to be common on aircraft. If the plane does have Internet access, your device may not be kosher in-flight or your device may be OK, but the plane doesn't offer access.
With these changes, we could soon see Internet as a common option as part of the ticket price on a flight. Few things could be a more mobile hotspot than an airliner.

Social Media and Human Resources: Policies, Blunders, and Avoiding Libel
11 Jan
The anonymity of the internet, social media in particular, allows people to say nasty things about others, whether an organization or an individual. Before the web was around, when unfounded accusations or reputation-damaging criticisms of others were published it was known as libel. But these cases are rare when based on content published on the web.
David Ardia, director of the Citizen Media Law Project at Harvard Law School says that libel suits related to social media are rare because users can often fire off instant replies to nasty comments. The safety of web-based anonymity drives people to say or do things they otherwise might not.
Increasingly, this is a top concern among human resource professionals and workplace managers. Blog posts and social media comments are lasting and, even if summarily deleted, they can have a permanent ripple effect throughout the internet.
Accordingly, it's a good idea to implement some sort of social media or web-based publishing policy for all employees. While they may choose to disregard such policies outside of the workplace, it's important to convey the sincerity of libel on the social web and the impact such actions can have on professional and public relations.
Despite the urgency of these concerns, many companies still do not have a social media policy in place. Here are some tips for implementing and upholding a workplace social media policy.
1.) Outline acceptable content
Trumpeting sensitive corporate information, such as client data and insider information, would not be acceptable in a public setting, so it shouldn't be online either. This may seem obvious, but the impression of privacy that social networks afford can easily muddle employees' judgement. Of course, employees must be free to post content about anything in their personal lives. Recent regulatory judgments have already decreed such liberties.
Last year, the National Labor Relations Board released a report detailing the rulings on 14 cases involving the use of social media in the workplace. Labor and employment attorneys have further explained that, in general, employers cannot discipline workers who discuss workplace responsibilities and performance online, even if they swear, use sarcasm or hurl insults.
2.) Establish uniform privacy settings
Many people, especially those new to social networking, aren't aware that they can manage public visibility of content. By simply educating employees on this publication control can alleviate some serious anxiety.
3.) Make clear there are repercussions for libelous content
Employees cannot be prohibited from using social media, but they should be aware, from the outset, that there will be repercussions for inappropriate content.
4.) Be respectful
Nobody wants to be treated like a child. Most employees fully understand the sincerity of content published on the web. They don't want to sit through a dull, time-consuming meeting about social media etiquette and be told what to do.
Also, understand that just because you don't like something, it doesn't mean you can take action against it. For the most part, helping your employees understand your social media policy and responding to disparaging remarks in a professional manner is the best prevention and cure. This is not only a human resource imperative, but a marketing one as well, as customers will be more appreciative of brands that respond to criticism in a respectful way.

So, the other day, I wrote about Melody Hensley and her dubious claims that she contracted Teh PTSD™ from Twitter users being mean to her. What I didn't tell you was that she has now started a fundraiser for people with PTSD, ostensibly because she's been bullied, harassed and had her life threatened by the Internet.
Please donate to PTSD research with @BBRFoundation that will benefit all those who suffer. Support my campaign: http://t.co/zLIIkGqzLB

Now, I don't know what she has done to earn this alleged reaction, but I'm fairly sure I'm more offensive on any given day than she is. The difference is I don't whine or claim bullying when I elicit the responses that I do. I just move on… or ridicule the responder… or even sometimes I admit they're right! *GASP* I know… it doesn't happen often.
This brings me to the next woman who claims she caught Teh PTSD™ – this time from an imaginary ship. Why do I say "imaginary"? Because according to her military records, this heinoceros has never stepped foot on a ship. (Thanks to This Ain't Hell)
And why do I say "heinoceros"? Because this creature also claims to have been gang raped by six shipmates, and while I understand that rape is about control and power, and not about looks… …given that she lied about her service… …and given this ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓
Oh. Dear. Gawd. On. A. Popsicle. Stick. I'm not seeing how anyone could get it up for that.
And the only ship she's seen is probably the Goodship LollypopJellyDonutCandyPoundcakeFrenchfry.
What pisses me off even more is that she is using these outrageous lies to bilk people out of thousands of dollars in donations with a scam to open a ranch for folks with PTS (sound familiar?), and has disappeared with the money.
Additionally, there are very real victims of sexual assault, both in the military and out. She has now set their battle for justice back thanks to her shenanigans.
The bitch deserves a real beatdown from real people – people whose lives are affected by her lies.
And if you come over here telling me that I have no right to judge this douche rocket's alleged "suffering," or that I don't know her background, or that her VA doctors apparently fell for her bogus PTS claims, and where is my medical degree that I feel qualified to judge her, just don't bother. If you feel you have to defend this sow, I can't help you, and I may even lose my temper to such a degree, that you will wind up with PTSD after I'm done with you!
While the fugasaurus above was simply stealing money under the guise of trying to help actual victims of PTS, I doubt Hensley will run away with whatever she collects.
I do, however, think that she is using her fundraiser not only to help people with PTS, but to bolster her own credibility. And while I hate ascribing alternate motives to people when they're trying to help others, given Hensley's propensity for drama…
I will relapse. I will be retraumatized. I will come back. One day I hope to conquer this disorder and feel in control every day.

: New to CG and need some tips
Hi all! I'm about 2 weeks into the Curly Girl routine and I can tell my hair is definitely more moisturized (I had a seriously dry, itchy scalp this winter. Much worse than any other winter before. Nasty). I know it takes a bit for your hair to get used to this system, but my curls look WAY less defined and all my volume has been zapped. It's like my curls are 100% heavier than they were before.
I have 3b (with some 3a and 3c thrown in), corkicelli curls with low porosity and medium texture. I've been using VO5 blackberry sage tea therapy conditioner as a co-wash and Tresemme Naturals as a conditioner/leave-in. Then I've been styling with Beautiful Curls Curly to Kinky Shea Butter Curl Activating Cream. The cream seems to leave my hair kind of greasy (which has been an ongoing problem with creams), so I'm looking for gel suggestions. But could it be that I'm conditioning too much, or leaving too much in? Or is the cream the culprit?

notify the ATF
No new tax needed.\
silencer doesn't need notification I don't think but the rest do.
Being in the military, what happens if you own a SBR or other NFA item, and have to move to a new state? Do you have to re-pay the tax stamp and go through the approval process again, or do you just have to notify the ATF of the new address the firearm is owned at?
Any ideas? I'll be filling out my form 1 for my m92 SBR shortly.
notify the ATF
No new tax needed.\
silencer doesn't need notification I don't think but the rest do.
What DrugRunR said.
As long as the state you are moving to allows SBR. I think Washington, Jersey, Michigan, and of course Kali don't allow SBR IIRC.
Be sure to follow up by looking up the state firearms laws in their internet site.
ks state law says they are legal but here in wichita i haven't found anyone who has been succesful in getting cleo signature... or has tried getting a signature, when i hve more money perhaps i'll try
that is one of the biggest hurdles in getting a SBR, or any NFA weapon......the CLEO signature. even though there is no state or local law forbiddening you to own one, a lot of chiefs, sheriffs don't want to sign them. I know for a fact that the chief of cuyahoga falls, oh will not sign any NFA forms, not even for his own people.....as well as the summit county sheriff.
armed ferret: if you do have to PCS to a new duty station check to make sure that the state you are going to allows a SBR, AS WELL AS the local community you will be in. some communities may have local laws against NFA weapons, even though the state doesn't
if you find yourself going to a state that does not allow a SBR.....you're pretty much stuck with either selling it, or geting the item off the NFA registery....in which case you will have to weld on a fake surpressor on it, or taking it apart.
"I can make this march, and make georgia howl!"
Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman
Another option is to store it in a state that does allow NFA weapons. As long as you are the only one with direct access to it, ATF allows storage away from your home. If you had a gun safe at a relative's house and you were the only one with a key, keeping it in there would be OK. Later when you get back to a free state, you could retrieve it.
i would likely just rent a safe deposit box. i already called the bank branch my wife used to work at and explained it all to the manager there--he had no problem with me renting a box for that purpose if necessary.
this situation is currently just a hypothetical. we have a saying here at Offutt AFB--"Once you get Offutt, you never get off it."
Tends to be a permanent duty station for a lot of people. I've already ordered a couple copies of Form 5320.20 from the ATF Distro Center just to have on hand in case I do get orders. I've already got a big drawer o' forms with my C&R records anyway.
so how exactly do you take that into that bank? just wrap it up real good? cause i KNOW you couldnt just walk in there with it strapped to your shoulder...Originally Posted by armed ferret
call ahead before i get there to let him know i'm on the way, and keep it in an unmarked box. those were his words.
Some states also have excemptions for active duty military PCS'ing under orders. Like me, I get to take my "EVIL AK-47" to the very home of the anti-gun demons, the Peoples republic of California. I have to register it and do some BS paperwork, and that costs like 80 dollars, but it is a off to the heads in charge out there. Plus I have a letter from the Asst attorney General saying that I can take Hi-cap mags (30rd mags) and convert them to Low Cap (10rders) while still looking like a 30 rd mag. so another big off to them

Yeah it sucked pretty bad. I started doing some research myself on the web on drag racing and weather conditions, I found that the barometric pressure has the most effect on racing, followed by temp and then huidity. Hard core bracket racers actually buy "weather stations" small electronic devices that mesure all of these factors and more to determine what their car will run on a specific day in specific weather. I was just realy pissed that my car ran that slow. I'm def waiting till it gets cold out to run my car again. It's just pointless to tryand get into the 12's when its this damn hot and humid out.
^lol... Any improvement is better than none. But my Jetta runs 14.0's maybe 13.9's at it's best... WtF? Definately something up...
You think 90 degrees is heat? ! I live in 100 degree weather daily lol! I think a few weeks ago it hit 110+... Yeah, my car didn't really like that. (omega intake manifold heat-soak.) It's actually cooled down to 89 today and holy moly it's cold! It's supposed to get back into the normal triple digits this weekend though. I need to wait for a cooler day to head back up to the track for some more time's.... Maybe in like October or November it'll get better.

I'm knitting a lacey scarf that should be so easy. It's just k2 together, yarn over, on an odd number of stitches, on big fat needles, and that's the pattern. The problem is that every once in a while I mysteriously lose stitches. I started with 49 st per row, and now I think I'm down to 42 or 44. I've tried to correct but I can't figure out how to increase when every other stitch on the row below is a yarn-over. Can someone tell me the best way to increase with this pattern stitch? I'm about halfway done the scarf, so if I can figure out how, I thought I might increase more or less symmetrically for the 2nd half of the scarf, and maybe it will look like I did it on purpose! Thank you.
Unfortunately, while you could put an increase anywhere in the row, I think it will look off because of the pattern.
You are likely loosing stitches because you are forgetting to do the YO or the YO is sliipping off the needle before you do the next k2tog.
The pattern as written is supposed to create alternating holes with thick (k2tog) sts. If you mess up and try to correct it, it will just look off. You will see where the mistake was. You will see where the correction was added.
That being said, if you really don't want to tink/frog back and you want to try to correct this, I would add the extra stitch at the end of the row by either omiting the k2tog and just doing a k2 or doing a M1.
You've probably forgot to do a yo, or dropped one off somewhere. It would look off if you just add stitches here and there. You don't have to start over again, but you can rip back to where you had the right number of stitches and start again from there. Then count the stitches every row or 2 to make sure you're not losing any.
Thanks. I can't frog back at this point, so I want to increase. At one point I tried to increase by k1, yo, k1, yo for a few stitches instead of k2t yo, but somehow I still ended up with the same number of stitches in the row. Having a yo every other stitch was confusing me for figuring out how to increase, but I just looked at the increases page and got some ideas so I'll tackle it tomorrow and see how I do. thank you for the advice.
You might find it helpful to use stitch markers. These can be as simple as a loop of yarn tied with a knot. They'll make it simpler to count sts and easier to recognize a missing stitch or and extra. It might also be a good place to insert a lifeline. http://www.knittinghelp.com/video/play/using-a-lifelineIt's very helpful if you have to rip back.
Wow. A lifeline. That would have been so helpful! I'll start using one now, at least. Thanks!
You can put one in a few inches back too.
Oh man do I ever feel your pain. I've worked in this pattern -- in the round -- just a little while back, and did exactly the same thing. Unfortunately my solution won't work for you because that was to go "Wendy? HEEEELLLLLPP?" Even after watching what she did (more than once :aww:) I'm pretty sure I couldn't fix it myself.
And I thought the same thing when I learned about lifelines. What a handy thing that would have been.
I can't say this will work for sure without knowing more about the dimensions of the scarf, but what you MIGHT be able to do is make it longer, put a twist in the fabric, seam the ends together to make a Mobius loop and nobody will ever know you shorted yourself a few YOs.

Can i add a subpanel fed by 10/2 wire?
Hi there folks, let me set up the situation and then I'll post my questions.
I recently bought a home where the previous homeowner had ran an underground 10/2 line to a detached shed about 100ft from the main home. In the shed the line terminates in a single outlet that I believe has a plug for a compressor on it. The 10/2 line is fed by a single pole 30amp breaker on a subpanel in the garage.
Here's what I want to accomplish:
I'd like to install a 30amp square D subpanel in the shed and have two 15amp circuits coming from it to feed some overhead lights and some basic 110v outlets for power tools etc. etc.
My question is two fold.
1. Can I do it in this fashion?
2. If so, the 30amp panel that I have has 2 spaces for the 15amp breakers but it looks like it requires a 3rd line (red?) to provide power to the second breaker. If so, do I need to pigtail two black lines from the main 10/2 feed to provide power to both breakers?
and my final question is.....do I need to add a neutral bar or can i just terminate all the neutral wires together with a wire nut?
Hope this isn't too confusing and I appreciate any and all responses.
1. Yes
2. Yes.
3 You need a ground bar and a ground rod.
If you keep the neutral in the sub panel isolated. (throw away the green screw that came with it) and install a ground bar and ground rod, then feed both legs of the new panel from the same circuit. It all sounds legal.
thanks guys. JWhite could you clarify for me, on how to add the ground bar and rod? I'm a little confused with your response. Thanks
Your sub panel will come with one bar that can be used for either ground or neutral. Since you will have a seperate ground comming from the house, you will seperate the grounds and neutrals in the sub panel.
The bar that comes with the panel will have a green screw that when installed makes the bar a ground bar. Throw this screw away, and buy an extra ground bar. You will now have one bar that is isolated from the metal box (enclosure) and one that is attached directly to the metal enclosure. The one that is isolated is where the neutrals will go. the one that is attached is where the grounds will go.
Next buy a ground rod and get out the sledge hammer. Outside the shed drive the ground rod into the ground. Then run a #6 wire from the ground rod to the panel ground bar.
I know 6 seems big, especially when the size of the circuit is only 10. but the ground rod is to protect against lightning. A short circuit needs to be cleared by a good connection back to the main panel in the house and the transformer serving the system.
I added the circuit to the garage, and before inspection, I asked specifically about the grounding requirements of the garage. The city inspectors would not allow another ground rod to be included on the house main. They required an isolated ground bar in the new box wired to the neutral that went back to the house main. Was this a safety hazard?
Also JWhite, I'm not a master anything so I'm looking for clarification here. How does the ground rod from the sub panel protect from lightning? It would seem the path of lightning strike would come from 2 paths, exterior or line.
The line path would be intercepted from the house main, and the exterior would have to have a separate grounding path as the interior and exterior are not directly connected. Assuming that there's a separate ground for the out building, the interior and exterior are still not connected, and the ground rod still doesn't protect from lighting. I'm missing something here...what is it?
Lightning goes from sky to ground. anything under ground is not suseptable.
sorry spelling.
The wire and ground provide a constant drain. the prevent the lightning from striking, The size has to do with the ammount of drain needed.
ok i do not know how to explain the lighting well enough ...
I do know what the code says to do.
I added the circuit to the garage, and before inspection, I asked specifically about the grounding requirements of the garage. The city inspectors would not allow another ground rod to be included on the house main. They required an isolated ground bar in the new box wired to the neutral that went back to the house main. Was this a safety hazard?
Isnt that what I told the OP to do???????????????????????????
Put away the sledge hammer because its not needed This is technically a single circuit feeder and 250.32 Exception allows this !the nuetral and ground must be seperated though.
A separate ground rod is only called for if the subpanel is in a detached structure, as with the OP.
That's my simplified understanding anyways.
Hi Nate, it was a detached garage, with the electricity supplied from the house main. I was all set to do as you said, but the city inspector said no-way, and demanded as I said...dunno...I don't own the house anymore, it was inspected and passed...go figure.
It was a 4 wire extension.

I had been searching for ground or powdered psyllium seed for quite a while to use as a binder in baked goods. Some people are sensitive to flax, guar, and/or xanthan. It is always good to have another option.
When Noosh at For The Love of Food! published her recipe several months ago for Easy Grain Free Flatbread a light bulb went off in my head. I had been looking in the baking supplies for psyllium and you will find this product in the pharmacy section with laxative fibers! It was pricey but so are the gluten-free flours and there were no sample-size options. Believe me I looked at the store brands in two grocery stores and in two drugstores – but every one of the store brands contained orange flavor and sweetener. Konsyl also is available with that option but what you need is Original Formula Konsyl. You should be able to find it locally, if not follow the link to Amazon.
Low carb, high fiber coconut flour is what initially grabbed my attention for this bread/wrap. Coconut flour is notoriously difficult to work with as it needs a lot more moisture than most flours. Also, recipes usually include lots of eggs unless other flours are involved. This recipe is gluten-free, grain-free, soy-free and vegan. And it is low carb, a new consideration for Rita and Jorge, #1 Son, who has been medically advised to go gluten-free.
I tried using a rolling-pin with the dough between two layers of parchment to keep the rolling-pin from getting oily. It took a while to shape for baking and after losing patience the result was not pretty. That is when I ordered this small aluminum tortilla press. The product reviews talk about how corn masa sticks and suggest techniques for working with it. The coconut oil in this recipe keeps everything well lubricated so the dough does not stick to the tortilla press. It cleans up easily with a little dish detergent and water and does not rust. It is easy to store being small and lightweight.
Be sure to shape the bread while the dough is still warm from the boiling water. The coconut oil is temperature sensitive and could solidify if it is allowed to get cold. The wraps press out to about 5"-5.5" in diameter. They shrink during baking to about 4"-4.5" in diameter.
You will find that the psyllium fiber has a definite flavor – not unpleasant but noticeable. I increased the seasonings quite a bit over several batches to compensate. It makes great savory wraps for breakfast, lunch, dinner or snacks. The proportions in this recipe produce a really flexible wrap. They do not break no matter how you bend or fold. The wrap has a tendency to unroll so when I am packing one for a lunch I secure it with a toothpick before tucking into a sandwich bag.
Also, this recipe specifies refined coconut oil because the sweeter background note of the unrefined oil clashes with the savory aspect.
Savory Low-Carb Flat Bread
Ingredients for 6 servings:
1/2 cup (56g) coconut flour
1/8 cup (22g) psyllium fiber powder (Original Formula Konsyl)
1/4 cup (56g) refined coconut oil
1 cup boiling water
Savory Seasoning (adjust to your taste):
1/2 tsp sea salt (I add this to the boiling water to be sure it is well dissolved)
1/2 tsp granulated garlic
1/2 tsp @ thyme, marjoram, and basil (oregano, savory)
Whisk the coconut flour and psyllium together in a bowl along with the seasoning options. Add the coconut oil. Add the hot water about 1/4 cup at a time, stirring in each addition – it will melt the coconut oil. Mix well making sure all the flour is incorporated. It forms a ball of dough that is springy like gluten-filled bread dough! If the dough is to difficult to handle then add 1-2 tablesppons additional hot water gradually. Flours can vary in moisture content depending on your local humidity and make a difference in the texture of your product.
You can roll out one big flatbread between two pieces of parchment and then cut up the bread into the shapes and sizes that you need. The dough can be divided into 4-6 balls and rolled it out to make pitas or future pizza bases. By using a scoop (size) to make even sized pieces that fit the tortilla press produces about 7 bread wraps.
Bake at 375*F for 15-20 minutes depending on your oven and how thin you've rolled the bread. Transfer to a cooling rack and cool to room temperature before using. They can be wrapped and frozen individually until needed. About 30 seconds in the microwave will defrost and return it to the flexible wrap consistency.
Nutrition measures – approximate:
Calories : 966 Net Carbs: 32 Fiber Grams: 36
Per Serving:
Calories: 141 Net Carbs: 6 Fiber Grams: 6
Be sure to consume enough beverage for your system to handle the amount of fiber in a serving.
Size on scoops/dishers:
Number on the scoop indicates how many level scoopfuls make one quart. For example, eight No. 8 scoops = 1 quart. The one I used holds about 3 tablespoons which appears to be between a #20 and #24 scoop.

It is so much fun to find a new ingredient or technique and experiment!

Colombia's FARC leader says all weapons to be handed over by Tuesday
Colombia's demobilizing FARC guerrillas left without food: Timochenko
Colombian government and FARC rebels sign revised peace deal
Colombia's revised peace deal to be formally signed on Tuesday: Reports
FARC chief leaves for Colombia to formally sign new peace deal
Rodrigo Londoño Echeverry, better known as "Timochenko," is the current commander-in-chief of the FARC, Colombia's largest and oldest guerrilla group.
The rebel leader is just the third supreme commander of the FARC in its nearly 50-year history.
Timochenko was "unanimously" chosen by the seven-man ruling body of the FARC known as the Secretariat to replace the deceased Guillermo Leon Saenz, alias "Alfonso Cano" in 2011.
Known as a hardliner with over 30 years of military experience, Timochenko was selected over Luciano Marin Arango, alias "Ivan Marquez," the more politically savvy candidate.
The FARC leader was born in Calarca, a municipality in the eastern part of Quindio in Colombia's coffee region on January 22, 1959 just three hours away from Genova, the birthplace of FARC founder, Pedro Antonio Marin, alias "Manuel Marulanda Velez."
While a teenager, Timochenko joined the Young Communists League and later moved to Moscow during the height of the Cold War to study medicine and cardiology at Patrice Lumumba University. He received military training in Tito's Yugoslavia and completed his studies in Cuba.
Upon returning home to Colombia, those who knew him said he had become decidedly more radical. More versed and immersed in his ideology, Timochenko joined the FARC in 1982 after being introduced to the rebel group by Miller Chacon.
As part of the 9th Front in the department of Antioquia, Timochenko engaged in some of the most pronounced violence in the FARC's history. The 1980s and 1990s saw right-wing paramilitaries massacre suspected rebels with the cooperation or the willful ignorance of security forces and engage in intensely violent struggles with FARC forces.
The increased paramilitary attacks intensified the FARC's military campaign against the state and the country's elite. In order to recover the losses the FARC incurred at the hands of paramilitaries, kidnapping became a prominent and viable source of income.
This bloody era gave Timochenko ample opportunity to utilize his Yugoslavian military training which specialized in strategy and counterintelligence. He was quickly promoted and in 1986, Timochenko received his nom de guerre and became the fifth member of what was to become the seven-man Secretariat.
Now a part of the high central command, Timochenko was put in charge of the complex and strategic Magdalena Medio Bloc in northeastern Colombia. It was here that Timochenko redirected military actions with an eye towards controlling defections and expanding the FARC's influence into cities. He also set organizational policies that were responsible for the manufacture and distribution of hundreds of tons of cocaine.
Reclusive and obstinate, Timochenko rarely grants interviews and he refused to take part in the failed peace negotiations between FARC and the Colombian government during the 1980s and 1990s.
The unsuccessful peace talks amplified the FARC's offensive. But in 1997 with the emergence of the AUC, Timochenko and FARC were forced into a strategy of resistance. This meant more guerrilla warfare – land mines, car bombings, etc. Timochenko planned these tactical adjustments from the North Santander department which borders Venezuela. It is rumored that Timochenko and Ivan Marquez, among other rebels, have received safe haven in the neighboring country, a point of contention between the Hugo Chavez regime and the administration of Alvaro Uribe.
Before becoming leader of the FARC, the only public sighting of Timochenko in recent memory was a 2008 video in which the bearded guerrilla confirmed the death of his longtime comrade and FARC founder, Manuel Marulanda.
After the 2011 elimination of Alfonso Cano and Timochenko's subsequent promotion, Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos insisted that the leadership of the FARC would "fall like a house of cards." While Timochenko has proven to be quite elusive given his proclivity to freely travel into Venezuela, the FARC leadership may indeed become obsolete due to the ongoing peace talks between the Santos administration and the FARC guerrillas currently underway.
For his part, Timochenko was not in Oslo and likely will not be in Cuba for the November 15 negotiations. Yet despite his militant reputation, Timochenko expressed enthusiasm, even optimism, about this round of peace talks.
"Make no mistake, all guerrillas, from newest to oldest, enthusiastically accompany this new attempt."
After the Oslo press conference however, the FARC leader's optimism was quickly replaced with skepticism.
In an open letter to peace advocacy group Colombians for Peace, Timochenko said that "it is not possible to arrive at true peace without there being structural modifications to the unfair scaffolding on which the Colombian political regime stands."

Need help with "low res" food!
My dog, Piglet, has recently developed horrible breath. (Absolutely rancid, dead fish smelling breath) I used to be a vet tech, so I checked all of the usual things. Teeth are perfect, nothing caught in her mouth, etc. I asked my vet about it and he recommended putting her on a bland, low res diet for a while and seeing if it helped. So I put her on the Iams Low Res and after only a few days, her breath was 10x better.
This lead the vet to believe that it was acid reflux. But now he's suggesting Hill's sensitive stomach or staying on this Iams stuff. Its too expensive and its crap!
I need help finding a similar food for Piglet's issue. Please help!

Outing Bill Maher
Nothing but a SCAM
CIAO. Ordinarily, we wouldn't do this, but like the man himself says, it's the hypocrisy that made us do it. If you're going to accuse people of things you normally don't disapprove of on the off chance that your disrespectful treatment of their private affairs might be embarrassing in some way, then you have to expect that others might do the same thing to you. So here goes.
Bill Maher is a SCAM, not that there's anything especially wrong with that, but you don't hear him talking about it much, and we do think SCAMs have an obligation to tell absolutely everybody they meet, just so they'll know. The proof isn't hard to find. For example, we found the following at CelebHeights.com:
TNTinCA says on 18/Oct/06
Hard to believe he dated 6 foot Ann Coulter once. Reason 1, that must have been a bizarre looking height difference. Reason 2, well, any guesses? ;-)
trueheight says on 4/Sep/06
actually, I do believe he's 5'8; dunno about footwear though. He was like almost as tall as Rep. Darrell Issa who represents the 41s district here in CA; he's 5'10, i've actually shook hands w/ Mr. Issa
J. says on 6/Jun/06
I met Bill after one of his shows. I'm 5'2 and was wearing 4.5" heals and I was a little bit taller than him. I'd say he's 5'6.
trueheight says on 9/May/06
5'7; I was at a taping of maher's show this season w/ none other than...Seth Green. Green was in sneakers and maher was about 4in taller. anyway, if you're a fan of HBO than you undoubtebly have seen Maher's '98 special in which his 2-3in heels were very very apparent. He's 5'7 barefoot
Mr. R says on 18/Apr/06
He has been listed in People Magazine I think as 5-9. Clearly a misprint.
He's somewhere between 5'6" and (maybe) 5'8". Yet he's calling himself 5'9" and wearing lifts. Let's face it. Any man who misrepresents his height for the purpose of making people think he's taller than he is is short. Short and not quite honest.
Our next key revelation is hinted at by the fact that Maher may have once dated Ann Coulter. Whether they dated or not, they do have something very serious in common. They both went to Cornell. This is something that everyone should always be told about in advance of any sort of conversation. Just so they can prepare. You know. That's why we have previously felt obliged to disclose the same unsettling fact about Keith Olbermann (who's as dumb as they come, by the way, if that tells you anything). And it's why we've written more about the alarming attributes of Cornell than anyone else in the blogosphere (which you can read here). Not that we're prejudiced or anything. It's just that the American people have a right to know these things and make up their own minds how to respond to alumni of the most disturbingly depressed, envious, and pseudo-intellectual institution in the Ivy League. Coulter. Olbermann. Maher. Draw your own conclusions.
Finally, Wikipedia discloses that Maher has himself admitted that he is "is the product of a "mixed" marriage (Jewish mother, Roman Catholic father)." We hasten to say that we don't personally see anything wrong with this circumstance. In fact, many (or at least one) of our friends have similar backgrounds, but, you know. Facts are facts. Bill Maher is a mongrel.
Short, Cornellian, And Mongrel. That makes Bill Maher a SCAM. We know there are a lot of people who turn and walk in the opposite direction when they see a SCAM coming. We're not like those people. And we know and like many people who are short or Cornellian or mongrel, if not all three at once. So we're not condemning him for what he is. Just for the, you know, hypocrisy.
That's what we had in mind in outing him. It must have been. Or why would we have done it? It's not like he's gay or anything. Or is he?
Well, that would be up to him to tell you, wouldn't it?

Bearing Noise
Ok, so a little background:
I just put in a 5.3L Chevy motor, replaced my frame, both axles (front D30 rear Ford 8.8), put in a AX15 and rebuilt my old NP231 to go to AX15. Novak products are sprinkled everywhere in between. The parts list goes on forever.
The good:
It sounds and drives like a monster truck.
The bad:
I am honestly learning as I go here. I bought the transmission rebuilt from ebay (shame on me). The guy didn't put the bearing retainer on and I didn't notice after the Novak Adapter was on the transmission (again, shame on me). So last week I lost 4th gear when the input shaft pulled out. Immediately drove jeep home, pulled the tranny, and had a guy replace input shaft and anything else that looked chewed.
He had all the parts I needed in his shop. I wouldn't be surprised if they were used. Now that tranny is back in, Im getting a horrendous grinding noise coming from the tranny. It gets louder with speed and doesn't matter if the clutch is in or out. I can shift into all the gears, except reverse can be tricky sometimes. I'm assuming that rules out the throw-out bearing.
Could I have a bad pilot bushing or input bearing?
I know I can hear this noise from the transmission area. But for some reason, I feel like it also gets worse when I make sharp turns. Could it be a bad wheel bearing that just sounds like its from the tranny? Could it be both a wheel bearing and tranny?
Sorry for the essay. Since I replaced nearly everything, I don't know what to compare it to.
I'm sure this could start a whole new argument. But for what its worth, I put 75W-90 GL-4 Synthetic into the trans. It didn't make this noise before the input shaft/bearing was replaced. Although I could have done a bad job re'installing it and maybe it's the pilot bushing. Any thoughts, please let me know. I spent months building this and just want to enjoy it at this point.
Bump, Help!
Manual or auto?
Sry should've re read . Was flywheel ever inspected or taken out? If so could the bolts not be properly torqued? Or flywheel not sitting right? Possibly bad clutch plate? Doesn't sound like a throw out bearing since you get it all the time.
The flywheel, pressure plate, clutch, pilot bushing, throw out bearing, and tranny adapter were all 1 package from Novak Conversions. I trust that they are the right parts. I'm sure I set the flywheel to the correct torque. Since clutch is brand new (10 miles on it) I dont think thats it. It's not throw out bearing for the reason you stated. Thats why I'm led to believe its the pilot bushing or input bearing.
Say Im going down a hill, in neutral, with the clutch disengaged (pedal in). Would the input shaft spin? Because the sound is there even in that scenario.
Could I have done something wrong while putting the trans back into the Jeep to cause this noise?
Put your transfer case in neutral and rev it through the gears. If no noise, you know the issue is with carrier/axle bearings.
You're the man C.L. I'll do that tomorrow.
Alright, well its not the carrier or axle bearings. So its either something with the transmission or transfer case. It also sometimes sounds like gears are slightly rubbing together in the transmission when driving in gear or coasting.
Any thoughts?
would more information help?
I just spent 6 months doing drive-train build. At this point I just wanna figure out this problem and start driving it!
Chime in please if you have any advice. But after looking around, I noticed that my throwout bearing is pressed against the pressure plate all the time. I feel like that shouldn't be the case. But I'm not sure how to get it (throwout bearing) to disengage. I just ordered a cheap borescope yesterday and I'll try to drive with it taped to the clutch fork so I can see whats going on.
Bump, please help
Bump, please I'm begging. Has anyone ever had experience with throwout bearing or pilot bushing noise?
The noise is still there. I was under the Jeep today while it was at idle and I could see the pressure-plate/clutch wobbling. There was also a ticking noise coming from it as well. could the input shaft of the tranny not be perfectly level with the engine?
Please I am begging for some help here. Now that I've done the engine swap I want to enjoy driving the Jeep.
Bump. PLEASE HELP!
Do I need to give more information or clarify anything?
Have you talked to the guy that repaired the tranny? It sounded fine before you brought it to him and now its making a loud grinding noise...

Though crowd, Though crowd... When one is mean, one is not fully objective.
Objectivity rulz...
didnt read all 3 pages. but i sold my bolt-on tuned 330whp Evo 9 for an RSTi with full 2005 STi swap.
i feel much safer about making 400whp on a 4g63 than on an ej257. the ej sounds like it's made of glass if you read enough threads on nasioc, iwsti, and i-club. rod bearing failure and/or oil consumption seems to be a common and deadly failure.
the 4g63 has been around for longer and it's proven to make power. if u want to make absolute power get an Evo 9.
the STi may have an upper edge in the transmission - the Evo 6spd is weaker than the 5th, esp. on open tracks where the cooling design of the 6spd fails and 4th gear likes to fail a lot. however the STi 6spd ain't as bulletproof as a lot of people would like you to think either - my 05 6spd has a grind going 4th-5th - synchro's the weak point in this tranny.
now taking away making absolute numbers, i prefer the way the STi drive over the Evo. Why? Turbo lag is a *****. but i guess if you're making 400whp in either cars it wouldn't matter as much....at that point i'd wish i have the 4g63 for the power and the STi 6spd to transfer the power to the wheels, but hey, can't have everything...
just my 2cents.
^^Sure you can, just get a built motor for your STi, or get a shep(?) tranny for your Evo.

That is a link to a profile for my car. Take a look. I aint here to talk **** or start a fight, just get some advice from a knowledgable crowd. and i want to thank you for your help.
So far, im getting that even sti fans like evo's over there own cars, and evo's are better horsepower wise, and sti's have a better tranny. I can always rebuild a tranny. I did it to my ralliart. (LOL at mitsu tranny's) So far im probly gonna get the evo, but have to test drive an sti.
about the v8 stuff. No thanks. Not my style, to ugly, blah blah blah.
Take a look at my ralliart, its a nice lil bugger. 13.4 with no traction bald tires is my best out of two runs. Both the first and only time at the track. No idea what i was doing lol. PPL on forums say i should get into 13.0 or high 12's, but first gear is useless on that car. which is why i NEED all wheel drive.
Last edited by Ralliart_on_LSD; 02-22-2008 at 05:01 AM.
Oh, and NO EVO WING on my ralliart. hahaha
actually, if i buy an evo, first thing I do, the day i buy the damn car is take off that huge thing off the back. Either have nothing there, or buy a ralliart wing. I like the smaller look, its just better IMO
what?!?! no flares?!?!?! that's like a girl with no boobs! sorry dude, but wrx is a better looking car than your ralliart.
An AWD car is going to be harder to launch down the 1320 than a fwd car. Neither of these cars are built for that. But if you must, an evo would probably be your best bet hp/lbs ratio is better. I looked at the evo also but I wanted a better all around car which meant performance, looks, and utility.
The lancers look like mitsubishi civics.

I haven't been here long but what I'm coming to realize is that people here love their STIs (and WRXs) but also acknowledge that there are other awesome cars out there. If people here liked Evos more than STIs than they'd own Evos.
To sum up what everyone's been saying is that for max HP with cheaper mods for straight line speed, the Evo is your best bet. (At the same time, if that's what you're looking for you should look into Mustang Cobras, Vettes, GTOs, etc.)
If you want a more reliable car with more proven aftermarket support, a better daily driver that can still whip some tail when the road goes twisty, etc. than the STI is your car.
In the end, IT'S 100% PERSONAL CHOICE SO TEST DRIVE THEM BOTH and then make your decision. We're willing to talk no matter what car you drive.

Ashley Tisdale Hits Up Planet Blue in Beverly Hills
Going shopping with a gal pal in Beverly Hills, Ashley Tisdale made an appearance at Planet Blue on Thursday (April 3).
Looking cute with a colorful scarf around her neck, the "Phineas and Ferb" beauty sported a fashionable white top and a pair of torn blue jeans.
In related news, the 28-year-old blondie is clearly a fan of Disney's "Frozen," as she took to Twitter to compliment Kristen Bell's recent musical performance of "Do You Want to Build a Snowman."
Excited about the event, Ashley wrote, "She's so talented! Love her! "@IMKristenBell: The LIVE version 'Do you wanna build a snowman' is out."
