It has a tune so they deny it Shit. Can you remove the tune? You shouldn't be tossing an engine unless you removed the rev limiter and kept banging it hard.... Ouch. I'll let the more experienced engine guys take it from here... that sucks though.. Maybe a good time to make some mods on the new engine before it goes in?? _________________ NO DISASSEMBLE!

Painted the walls in 3/4 of my house interior in December a cool very light grey.
Suns now poking through the windows. Makes it look blue. I hate blue. Buying the other shade of grey tester I had that has NO blue in the mix....and repainting the whole thing. _________________ "Remove one freedom per generation and soon you will have no freedom and no one would have noticed."......Carl Marx "Let us Cross the river and sit in the shade of the trees" .....Stonewall Jackson T.

Commercial zoned area, and yes, public street. I even measured distance from driveway entrances, signs, etc as required by law. I'm 100% legal. _________________ NO DISASSEMBLE!

Guardsman Blue is darker than whats on there. The blue used was a House of Color metallic candy blue.....last owner lived in California. Go figure. Ive been embarrassed about them since I got the car. _________________ "Remove one freedom per generation and soon you will have no freedom and no one would have noticed."......Carl Marx "Let us Cross the river and sit in the shade of the trees" .....Stonewall Jackson T.

Buying the other shade of grey tester I had that has NO blue in the mix....and repainting the whole thing. Damn dude you really do hate blue! Sun shines in the window it looks like a freakin nursery in here..... Windows now-a-days have UV blocking coatings that have an inherent tint. Open a window and let the sun shine on the wall and you will percieve the color shift and the paint will probably more closely resemble the color you chose in the store. I witness this drama frequently in my work as clients work through this. If you can get the light to hit the same wall both through a window pane and through an open window at the same time you'll really be able to discern this effect. This is why buying a number of samples and painting broad swaths (and then viewing them at different times of the day) is a good idea. _________________ “Finding ‘common ground’ with the thinking of evil men is a fool’s errand” ~ Herschel Smith "The “A return to First Principles in a Republic is sometimes caused by simple virtues of a single man.

Fucking Citibank.
Use my Costco Citi card every day for just about everything, sometimes the balance goes over $10K (pay it off every month). I moved, so their fraud department locked out my card and I had to call the stupid fucks. The 'suspicious activity'? Two trips to QFC totaling under $30. By my kids school, go there every day. Domain renewal, recurring payment for past 20 years. $655 for a mint Ibanez Ag95QAL-DBS Sunburst I ordered a week ago. Recently out of production, and hard to find. The left handed one is near impossible to find. If i don't get it, I'm not using my Costco Visa outside of Costco anymore. _________________ NRA Endowment Member.
