And there's issue #2

Broke my G1 and have been using my back up which is like a 2001 Nokia! lol

Of course I've been lazy to replace that phone because not only is it expensive but it also took a lot of my time away from stuff.

Those phones imho can strip you of your 'real' life.

Just sayin.... I'll get a camera quick

Count yourself among the lucky if a cell phone is considered a "problem" in your life. I can solve that addiction in 3 seconds of glorious violence followed by free beer and lap dances...lol.

Then again, of you're a light footed, purse toting momma's boi...I guess a cell phone could give you trouble

Ummm not 100% sure actually. On one hand it definitely looks like it flows better than a log mani but not sure it's what I want.

Plus it appears to have a hareline crack on the bottom with some JB Weld over it??? Right at the entrance to the wastegate. I'll borrow a camera today and snap pics of everything including that.

hahaha I'm a good sport, so mama's boi it is! lol

Actually on a semi serious note (disreguard if you care less) I gave up all the drugs, alcohol and illicit sex about 6 years go... took time... took determination... It was definitely a struggle but I knew God had more for my life.

Now I've got a great wife, kids and job. Yes, my cell phone was the biggest issue at hand... besides dude, p0rn is a snap on those things! hahaha That s*** is bad for your mind! lol

ANYWAY>>>>>

The Clutch is coming in today... It's by signature only so I gotta sit around the house. That gives me a chance to clean up the garage some more and swap off my wheels/tires because it's about to snow tonight. yikes!

There is nothing wrong with that manifold. I was the only user of it and it does not have any JB Weld over a hairline crack. I did helicoil the wastegate bolt holes, but there is nothing wrong with that. You better send me pics as well because I still have pics of it that I took for someone else that show there were was no JB weld or cracks.

I know this guy whose kid told him that he should not smoke pot and marijuana little chump its the same does the stupid f***ing school not know this? Then the boy went on to tell his dad that weed was as bad or worse than crack/coke/H/x.... weed does NOT make people robs stores/family/strangers, people tend to not kill themselves or hurt others.. not to be said for the other s***......

legalization of the MJ would bring big money to this country, however finding a good way to tax it is too hard. I would personally smoke if it was legal, like hey pick me up a pack of whacky jacks chronic stix

On the other hand the side effects of marijuana that are not spoken of can be devestating.

The suicide rate of marijuana users is higher too... most cases as a result of Psychological problems, potentially resulting from marijuana.

Panic Attacks, Phobias, Paranoia, Schizo, etc... It has all been routinely linked to marijuana use.

You can not expect that any substance which alters the mind will not leave residual effects.

It's a small crack just below the wastegate... not a major issue. But if it's not JBWeld then I'm retarded or confused

I'm not sayin you were d!ck me over or anything. I swear to God you are the most legit seller I've ever dealt with. That turbo is spot on and I could not have asked for a better transaction.

I'll tell the world over, SPANK044 IS A GOOD SELLER! He is legit!!!! The turbo is in amazing condition and has a near perfect CHRA!

Can you please show me the evidence of this?

Oh wait you can't because you make the logical fallacy of "Correlation = Causation"There is actually a very good explaination for marijuana use amongst depressed people...it makes you feel good.

There has been no scientific evidence to back your statement up. There have been plenty of proper scientific studies that show this.

Thanks, it's just that I look all my parts over thoroughly before I even list them. I must have missed it or I did not think it was a crack. Just let me know if you intend to keep it or send it back.

I'll try and keep this light and somewhat humorous because I am not interested in a full on debate... so take it for what it's worth.

It's not a 'logical fallacy', it's not a fallacy at all. In fact it is merely an expedential truth.

If what you said was true then: You can't say that drunk people get in car wrecks at hgiher rates BECAUSE of alcohol. Alcohol just HAPPENS to be a factor.

The truth is that alcohol IS the factor.

Not all drugs are bad but I avoid them at all costs.

Those who are in their 30s and are avid users and have no 'side effects' are probably the more adaptable of our kind BUT it is not always the case.----------------This is not a debate on moral ethics for me... it's not a political debate... I simply think the majority of people are better off with marijuana in their lives, besides it reduces the chances of mental illness, why not avoid it then.

Do what you want, I'd vote to legalize it just like tobacco and I'd 'teach' my children of it's dangers... just like tobacco. I think people have the right to choose and that's fine with me.

My personal testimony is that my life significantly got better after I quit. I don't have anxiety anymore, my phobias are history, I'm wealthier, better Father, Better husband, etc...That may not be the case with all people, fine.

I encourage young people not to use marijuana and I have friends who still do. That's their choice... I am a true believer of freedom.

Haha. I guess by your logic, scientific truth is merely simple, uneducated observation.Alcohol IS the factor because it has been proven through scientific testing that it impairs motor-skills vis-a-vis driving skills.I am stating that you are taking anecdotal evidence NOT backed up by scientific testing and stating it as absolute truth.You did it right HEREQuote »The suicide rate of marijuana users is higher too... most cases as a result of Psychological problems, potentially resulting from marijuana.

FYI- expedential is not a word...I really don't know what you meant by that.

I'm an idiot: experiential

We have to debate the 'evidence' at hand to determine if the marijuana causes mental illness.

I am personally a proponent that ALL drugs (legal and illegal) play a negative role in the brain. I believe Anti-depressants are dangerous and cause more severe deppression of the brain long term. I believe Proton Pump Inhibitorsare dangerous for the GI tract and cause long term problems not only for the GI tract but also for the Immune system and nutrional absorbtion of food.I believe Blood pressure meds are dangerous and only cover the true cause of disorders. The long term dangers of Blood thinners or Vascular dialaters IMO are ridiculous when most people can reduce the dangers with exercise and diet.

The list could go on...

IMO Marijuana is the LEAST of the worries when it comes to 'medication' I am merely being consistent with my stand against drug use that is long term and NOT for Emergency use ONLY.

Just my .02

I don't smoke weed, but I have tried it. I drove one time and it was one of the worst experiences of my life lol. I could not consentrate on the road. I'm better at driving drunk (not that I do that). I mainly posted to tell you good job and your kids will thank you!

OK ok ok... back on track+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

So the clutch came in yesterday!

Got the entire garage cleaned up a bit. So now my wife, my brother and me can all get our cars in. (My brother lives with me)

Of course the only problem is that with all my spare KA parts I have no room anymore to tinker with stuff on the work bench... you gotta see pics it's crazy. All the engine parts that were sitting on the floor are now stacked on the bench.

So I need an alternative storage. I'm thinking of building wall cabinets suspended above the work bench and putting lights underneath... OR maybe like a bunk bed except an entire bunk storage above the benches.

The ceiling in my garage is about 11 ft.

No, the more I look at it I keep feeling like it's not much better than the custom Log I already have. I think when I buy new one I'll just end up getting the Mazworx.

Just email me.

Can your buddy not fab one up for you? You can build an almost equal length mani with longer runners pretty easily and it will flow quite a bit better then the log. Just something to think about since you wanna maximize available hp. I am probably going to fab a whole new manifold as well. Just because I need to eek out every bit of power I can. I really wanna do a street port on my head and get a set of custom cams ground...but I don't wanna pull the damn head...lol.

How about a boosted 240 vert with no back seats and a rear cage. My plans are a built KA24 with a full race kit dual 44mm wastegates, GT30 with a custom mid mount or backdoor intercooler. Cage and getting rid of any unneeded weight. going to be a full race car not daily driven at all.

Well just need a wastegate and this turbo kit is complete. I still need to buy a different car since this clutch is not a clutch I want to DD.

Of course I still want fully adjustable suspension arms, aluminum driveshaft and roll cage w/ 4 point harness.

My plan is to do a Street tune pushing a safesafesafe amount of boost. Once Spring comes and the track opens I'll start doing a lot of test and tune runs on a seperate EMS file.

I never did think about breaking or bending the al. driveshaft. Do you or anyone else know about how much power one can handle.

How come there are no pics of progress???
