  1. don't know about the whole candle thing but use something other than those 4 way lug wrenches if you want any kind of leverage. i use a 2 foot breaker bar on lugs when i don't have an impact around and they always break free.
  2. it did suck seeing it go especially after all the wrench time that went into it.. ah well there shall be another vehicle with a modded engine in my future. probably not anytime soon though.
  3. that was about 7yrs ago i built the engine..very shortly after that i just lost interest and like i said i tried to move forward with it and bring back my excitement for it.. don't get me wrong i liked the way it sounded and it was fun to drive. but paying 600 a year to insure something that's only being driven maybe a month a year plus all the hassle with getting an inspection sticker..that was the biggest pita. no one wanted to touch it, every place told me it was too loud. then i had to spend way more time than i wanted to drive around and try and find a place that would touch it. now keep in mind i live in a small town surrounded by small towns so places are all scattered and few and far between..
  4. it was time to go. i haven't driven it in over 2yrs..it hasn't moved since i got the outback and i've had that for almost 2yrs this july. it sat for another year before that. i got bored with it years ago but figured since i went through all the crap to get the engine built .. i'd try and power through it and maybe it would reignite my enthusiasm for it but that never happened and then i just got sick of it..
  5. well after sitting for awhile i finally got rid of it. and by awhile i mean like 3yrs. last pics of it before it left to it's new owner. it's like a damn lowrider compared to my outback
  6. based on the hotel i found and the time of year i'm looking at the middle of sept for this..
  7. but the ram 1500 with the v6 diesel get's more hp and tq and very similar mileage..i'm not a fiat fan and i'm waiting to see how the v6 diesel does on reliability but if i was buying a truck now i'd go for the ram..diesel for diesel i'm aiming towards the ram.. http://gmauthority.com/blog/2015/06/2016-chevy-colorado-duramax-2016-gmc-canyon-duramax-vs-ram-ecodiesel/
  8. probably the same thread you found but when i googled tech2 clone this popped up.. http://www.pontiacbonnevilleclub.com/forum/general-chat/topic43833.html i mean hell for the price and being able to access the abs part is worth it.. i priced out dedicated abs readers and they were close to what this thing goes for..
  9. i picked one of these up for the portable side..got the torque app too..this works if you didn't go with communist apple with your phone.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/281203432700?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT i also have this bought way before the above..paid like $200+ for it.. along with reading and clearing codes it does some data logging and monitor checking.. http://www.amazon.com/actron-cp9175-autoscanner-diagnostic-vehicles/dp/b000fjs8o6
  10. you should be more scared with that bear sitting on your legs... cute kitty too.
  11. get one of those propane torches you solder plumbing with and just turn the gas on and wave it around the engine when it's running..easiest damn way ever i found the vac leak i had on the GA years ago..
  12. spray the maf cleaner on it and have a fantastic day...
  13. pc master race..said computer is a few years old and has a 2600k 16gb ram and a gtx 690 along with a samsung 840 pro and like 8tb of hard drives. My T800 hauling some military ish and then my Pete 389 hauling some military ish
  14. cool sounds like a good deal..looks like i'll be basing my plan off of leaving from that airport.
  15. nice sounds like a smooth deal..just waiting to see if there's a difference between spring/fall prices..
  16. thanks..i'll know more in a month or two.. so how was the whole deal
  17. thanks maybe i'll see if i can get a ride there..
  18. i'll let you know when i nail everything down..honestly the plan is to leave sometime thursday night and return the following week on saturday.. i used march 31st to april 9th of next year for example.. it said it was like a 6 hour flight so i figured i could get the plane time in after i get out of work that day and then start fresh the next day.. have you ever left your car at the airport..what's involved in that.. thanks for the offer. i'll let you know when i finalize things.. those prices i posted earlier are for the hotel and flight and then the rental get's added on later and that's like 300-400.
  19. little ridiculous at $60 shipped but well i've been drinking so here you go http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-Tall-Red-And-Chrome-Pontiac-ArrowHead-Bumper-and-Grille-Emblem-OEM-New-/261058258416?fits=Model%3ABonneville|Submodel%3AGXP&hash=item3cc848e5f0&vxp=mtr
  20. in the end i'll most likely choose bradley just for the fact that i can't stand going into boston...in the end it's only $175 and i've spent that on dumber shit..i'm going to wait a few months before i nail anything down so i can see if fall prices are any different from the spring ones.. figuring on late march or august/sept possibly october..since i work 4 days a week i was figuring on march 31st to march 9th, depending on when the flight leaves i may or may not leave work early/take the day off. when i can see dates past sept i'll nake the decision on when..
  21. people still do underglow..i thought this kinda died out..
  22. i priced out a few things through expedia and while bradley is a few minutes closer to me it's a few hundred more. just did a comparison since i forgot what the prices were from when i did the search..all to the same location,hotel and same time.. $1210 from worcester airport to portland $1018 from bradley airport to portland $843 from logan airport to portland.. all using the same class seats.. i wanted to leave from logan since it's way closer but a $367 price difference = NOPE.. hell even the $175 difference from logan to bradley leaves me with choosing logan..i wanted to avoid logan since going into boston blows.. it's like 15 minutes difference between logan and bradley.. probably going with this bag since it fits in under the carry on size http://www.amazon.com/Olympia-Luggage-Pocket-Rolling-Duffel/dp/B001TK2XCI/ref=pd_sim_198_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=09H8GQ6XJV2SD2T0P43N&tag=viglink23813-20
  23. yeah we get that.. it seems now that anything over a decade old get's the throwback or classic status..
  24. my dentist plays one of those channels that played pretty much everything..stuff like taylor swift to 80's music. this is the channel they play http://www.wsrs.com/main.html
  25. holy crap a modern gm car with oil pressure and volts on the cluster.. haven't seen that in a car since my Z26.. i know the GM trucks have it but in a car is unusual..
