Re: Car-b-que?

"Manifold Roast" Recipe.

Sounds tasty. Worth a try, at least.

Car-b-que?

It's been a bit of a joke for years about cooking stuff in the engine compartment. Countless people say they should try it, but usually they don't. If I'm not mistaken, Mythbusters did an episode on it a while back. Well, I was reading this article about someone who was apparently trying to make que...

Re: Bug deflectors... A neat trash find

I was thinking of tilting it, but didn't wanna break it. I think I'll give it a shot and take another picture.

I'll have to take it off, remove the brackets, and use my pliers to bend them. Once that's done it's just the matter of bolting it back on.

Bug deflectors... A neat trash find

I was driving along and happened to drive by a trash bin that I get lots of stuff from. The whole thing was full and surrounded with stuff, so I whipped around and pulled in to check it out. I made off with a ton of small stuff, but the real kicker was this brand new Deflecta-Shield bug deflector. T...

Re: Sorry ... couldn't resist.

It never ceases to amaze me what people will put on YouTube.

That bike burnout was amazing, though! That takes a lot of energy.

Re: how do I change my profile?

Click on User Control Panel (top right of page), click on the Profile tab (left side) and go down to Signature. \:D/


I just realized I need to update my profile a bit as well.

Re: Bad cat, and trying to stay legal...

I crawled under there to put it on... I couldn't even get the old one off. I'll apparently have to cut or grind those rusted clamps off, then buy new clamps. Just to be sure, are there any gaskets or anything like that on there that I'll have to replace? I know some converters have gaskets, but I've...

Re: Any way of tightening up a loose steering linkage?

I personally greased the ones I could get to not very long ago, and while there was a small amount of slack in the steering, it wasn't nearly as bad as it is now. Where can I find them cheaply, though? I'd like to replace everything that could be worn out at once so I can be done with it. Would it b...

Any way of tightening up a loose steering linkage?

My steering linkage is worn out, so the van is all over the road. It occasionally pulls to one direction without warning, and for some reason the front right tire is wearing out on the inside while the left is fine. I had it jacked up and was able to turn the left wheel about two inches left or righ...

Re: Bad cat, and trying to stay legal...

The new cat FINALLY came in! It's a Magnaflow high-flow. I can't wait to put it on... I just need to pick up the brackets and what not, then I can crawl under there and get started! Expect a before and after video.

Came up to a horrible sight yesterday...

I was on my way to work when I came upon the scene of a head-on collision. The ambulances weren't there yet, and it looked bad. Far off the side of the road was a second-gen Astro with the front pretty much gone. Sitting perpendicular to the street was my friend's car. Traffic was bad, and so many p...

That's a pretty interesting article. My family has had dogs since before I was born, and there was still stuff in there that I didn't know. Good find!

Re: Steering wheel swap questions

I wasn't gonna get one of the aftermarket ones, I was thinking of using one from a 96 or newer van.
