    My 1979 BRAT

    EXHAUST???? Lost cause. Too much work to be financially feasible. Give it to me, and save yourself a lot of trouble. Or go to a place like 1st choice in Lewiston and spend $150 on a manifold back custom job.     Whichever makes you able to sleep at night

    R/C cars! AGAIN..

    Still at 70%.... they still have a lot of misc axial stuff, plus a lot of bodies, If it goes to 80 or 90%, Im going to spend a few hundred bucks. I bought them out of VP race fuel the other day, I should buy a few more gallons of nitro fuel too... I found some BRE graphics for a 1/10 scale...

    WTB Wheels for 2000 Impreza

    I have some 15" Motegis/ Traction TAs with almost no miles on them , a bit of minor dry rot cracking on the BFGs, like new tread though. $200?  I have the tuner lugs, tool and all... they were on  my 2000 Impreza when I got it, sold car, not much need for the wheels. I think the tires are...

    A 450-hp BRZ STi you Say? I say, "Why, YES Pleez!"

    I always felt that my STi forgery 04 WRX would be killer as a rwd. I love AWD, but something about clutch kicking a fairly big hp  RWD that can rev and stay revved does it for me. Ive always been into swapped 240SX's for that reason.... I need to go for a ride in a BRZ, It looks like the next...

    R/C cars! AGAIN..

    They have some Axial stuff over there, some scale parts, some roll cages, plus some misc parts, its all 70% now, but I heard it might be going to 90% real soon, if it does, I can grab some stuff for you, $100 worth would be $10....  I might get one of those things soon. looks like fun.

    I finally won a radio contest.

    So after years of trying, I got on the WTOS game this morning. Won 2 tickets to reggae fest, and 2 lift tickets. Wish I still rode snowboards. Thought it was cool. Guess im going to Sugarloaf this weekend...

    R/C cars! AGAIN..

    So I got the Baja on radar at 44 mph, which doesn't sound like much, but when that's how many pounds it weighs, and how long it is in inches with no body mounted, its FAST.  I got a bunch of VP race fuel premix at Mardens for 3 bucks a gallon, tuned it on that, and it goes really good now. Runs...

    R/C cars! AGAIN..

    Ive had the 1/5 scale truck for a week or so now. Its awesome.  A little break in and tuning, and now it sounds like my old Banshee. Got some custom vinyl work coming soon for the Kraken cage, Mardens is 70% off all that stuff now, so my basement looks like a Baja shop.   All the HPI Baja parts...

    R/C cars! AGAIN..

    The Rovan  5SC should be here mid week.  $649 shipped, add 2 stroke gas and 8 batteries for the radio.  I got the clear body, but they come painted for the same price.  We need a fleet of these things to race this summer, and bash around in the sand.

    FWIW My experiences with turbo blankets and heat wrap.

    We always ran into exhaust rust whenever we wrapped headers and headpipes on our old street drag cars. I was looking at the blanket setups, our WRX has no shield presently... another benefit seems to be CV shafts lasting longer on the turbo side. Ours even before the lift ate up the PS shaft..  ...

    Spotted!

    Saw a loud red or maroon wagon last night on 126, I tried to give you the "slow down" wave when you went by my plow truck up near the lake.... Sabattus PD was hanging out at scumberland farms all night...

    Beadlocks??? Simulated???

    I just looked through our pictures of the car. Only ones I have are on steelies, with tiny tires. Ick.  Ill take some when this weather stops again.   I put some 16"  Elbrus wheels on it when we first bought it,  then last fall I picked up some 225/65/16s and threw them on. Had to pull the side...

    Exhaust leek, options for fixing?

    Not near you, and too late, but 1st choice muffler in Lewiston charged us $100 out the door to repair the wife's exhaust flange on her WRX. They have a pile of those parts in stock, and you can usually do a walk in,  One thing I would do for sure is get some good thick hi temp paint on that...

    Beadlocks??? Simulated???

    I thought there where pictures on here somewhere...  We ran steelies, looked OK, but $500 for new calipers cause we couldn't keep the calcium off them equals a spoked design.

    R/C cars! AGAIN..

    I looked at the axials, they look awesome!  Ive heard theyre pretty realistic as a scale crawler too...  I tried to post a video of the Kraken, but cant, its on youtube, Kraken RC will get you there, its the huge kraken video in rc adventures.  I have some super secret vinyl work in the making...

    dear neon

    And yes, back to the flagger stuff, pointing the traffic in the right direction is part of the Flagger certification training now, mainly for the "bright" people that really shouldn't have a license. Ive been working construction for almost 20 years. you wouldn't believe some of what Ive seen...

    dear neon

    Hers my version:  Dear morons passing me from of the parade of traffic behind my large brown and orange Sterling that is only out when the roads are bad:  Can you see the snow and slush coming off my plow and wing?  That is slippery, and that is why you crashed into the guardrails and hurt...
