Is that CRKT sharpened on both edges? Just by design tho it could cause legal issues in several states. My absolute favorite knife? Benchmade Griptilian  I have a combo edge and a Ritter Semi-custom in S30V that I use daily. Also have another 1 or 2 around in my woods gear. For a fixed blade, here's my choice. BM Nimvarus, I prefer the older models with G10 scales.  |

car: 1.6L FI 78' Rabbit
I recently procured a 2L ABA bottom/JH top motor for very cheap which is currently setup with the passenger side pointing intake and FI.
I have a single draft carb (Holley 5200) jetted for a 2L on an 8v intake. I think it'd be more fun to have the carb on then run FI and would love to run a clean engine bay.
Anything I should know about this swap? The linkage I'm not worried about, I can do that jazz. I think I'd need a different gas tank/fuel pump. Ideas?
Just swap a regular rabbit intake manifold onto it and everything else will plug in. |

just curious what others are using for data backups? ie: storage devices, hardware, software and whatnots.... NAS, RAID (which one), external hdds, servers???
Just posting this as I know most people don't think about it until it's too late and the nano-gremlins ate their data. Hopefully not after midnight!!!
About the only thing I backup are pictures and work data. most of that goes onto a CDR, although I'm thinking of getting an external HD too. |

Easy shit. Get the 5 speed driver side mount and it'll drop in. The existing linkage will work "ok" but 5th is sometimes a bit hard to get into. Throw in some 5 speed rabbit shifter linkage and you're good to go. VERY easy.

what would make a QSW overheat on the freeway and not in town? my guess was thermostat not open, but im retarded.  keep the banter bullshit to a minimum, thanks.  Most likely thermostat. but also check to see if the cap holds pressure. |

Delta Camshaft if your place. They have grinds of most of the popular cams everyone sells for less than $100. Also be carefull on duration #'s, shops sell cams by the numbers being higher, what lift was that measured at.
What motor's it going into? Also what fueling and car weight?

what do you want for it without the motor/tranny etc.. i can find an ABA to put in, especially if it already had one in it. no stereo either. hows the top?
I'm really not sure. $1500? The top was replaced a few years back by me, but I had an issue at the pass rear corner (clipped a little) but it doesn't leak there. Could help to reseal the rear window. I even have another seal in the garage. Are you saying you don't want the stereo gear? Crap; also has alarm w/ 2 way paging, and autostart that isn't hooked up. Power windows and locks. Oh and Evil tech stickers.... TT 2.5" exhaust and downpipe w/ Borla |
