    This sorta hit me. I have my own tools that I purchased from Snap-On and Mac in the early 90's. I also have tools from my father, grandfather and great grandfather. Father was a plumber then car mechanic after Vietnam. Both Grandfathers were...

    If I can make a suggestion. I would make a solid spacer from one bolt to the other. The spinning mass is forced against the thinnest part of the bearing, or just slip a plate in there

    Your crank isn't on the mark. Everything is relative to that.

    As men we never get the due because it’s just normalized what we do in the first world. Roof, food, vehicles, bills, family, friends, emergencies. You just need to make it all work all the time. There is no real thanks making the world go around.

    I have about 7-8 of those (1/2 through 1/2 Metric and Standard in Black & Red, plus one or two overflow) in my main box. I really like them as well (so long as your drawer is deep enough for longer, 1/2 drive impacts in them, etc...), but I now...

  • Hello, I recently started working on the timing on my 2G Eclipse. I noticed that every time I tighten the belt, my oil pump and crank gears do not align with the timing marks. I’ve tried several configurations, moving a tooth back and forth, but...

    That looks very similar to my Hansen trays. I want the sockets pretty much up against each other. My drawer looks like this. I think I could fit at least 30 or 40% more. You must be registered to see element.

    Im off on another tangent. Socket rails this time. I have six Hanson trays but I feel they take up too much room. Do I really need to size markers? I can spot a 12, 14 or 17 easily. I need to cram a few more sets into my drawer. Discuss.

    It sucks. There's speculation that he suffered a TBI during the crash in December. A brain injury, however small, can put you in a dark place. I still haven't recovered fully from a concussion a year and a half ago and some things may never...

    He took his own life. That's arrived through logical deduction from the events that transpired. The issue is that it's still a stigma to talk about suicide, and all the hush hush when it happens (you old school guys remember about Smithey) just...

    How’s the car running Rob? Driving it much? Just went through your build again. Giving me some much needed inspiration again. I really need to wrap some other crap up and get back to mine.

    Mostly nostalgia. Dejon Tool (later renamed Dejon Powerhouse) was one of the first companies to make a variety of intake pipes and intercooler pipes for these cars many years ago (about 25 years now). The owner of Dejon passed away several years...

    Id appreciate if you did that for me, your avout the 5th person whos commented on specifically that intake. Is it really good? Or just old school and nostalgic?

    Look at that Dejon intake pipe. Welcome Zach. This will make for a good build thread - be sure you create a Vehicle Profile by You must be registered to see element.. Once you do that, a build thread gets created automatically. You can then use...
