lol Im lowering $100 a week pretty much until I sell lit haha. The car is payed off, including all of the mods. Just gotta find the right person.

@xtc.. I know I know. Parting out is best way to make money back. But you're right, it's only worth what someone is willing to pay.I did this for myself, and I had lot of fun, I had an understanding I would lose pretty much everything on the purchases, but it was still a great experience, and it's a great car. I also have a list of mods in excel showing why I have priced everything where it is, but few people have gotten that far haha.

 

hit me up when the price reaches $7k

 

I'm in at 7.5

 

I see your .5 and I'll raise $500.


wait, is this a trap?

 

Okay. Since you like projects, I'll kick in $2k to whatever you're willing to offer if you help me swap all the charger stuff over to my crapwagon.

 

cant guarantee my jack wont slip off and damage something tho

 

I'll bring hotpockets and an extra set of jack stands.

 

Deal!

 

just let it be known, it was the hotpockets that sold me

 

Well I'll also let it be know that I would have been willing to go as high (heh) as hotpockets, a bag of flamin' hot cheetos, and some nachos from the corner store.

But since you accepted the initial terms, the deal is done.

(i'll still bring the cheetos though because I like them too).

 

So what's the final offer? $9k?

Just for reference...

 

What you did there, I see it.


and bring donuts too!

 

Damn that TSX looks like a great deal... too bad i don't need one

 

Finally someone realizes it's priced moderately!

 

Penis

 

Pretty much.

 

someone say pianist?

 

therapist checkin in

 

Justin, help me find myself.

 

take two of these, and call me in the morning.

 

Bout time the crab got changed!

 

I think fatty did it. lol

 

@@opboarding.. I'm having AC troubles. Ran into some problems earlier this summer where I was cooling intermittently throughout the day (blows ambient temp, then an hour later cool air.). Got it fixed, it was some issue with TXV being stuck, I moved the bulb thing to a warm line to keep the valve open all the time and this seems to have worked, it's blows cool all the time now. However, as the summer has brought more heat I noticed our house can't keep cool. Ill keep it at 70F in the morning and by the time I come home it's at 73F, and by 8PM it gets as high as 77F. I keep blinds and curtains closed as much as possible but my house gets all the westward afternoon sun.

Soooo. I did some investigating and I have a 2ton AC unit, but I have roughly 1600sqft. All the internets are pointing towars needing a 3ton unit. I've talked to guys at work and get differing opinions, some say my house my not be insulated enough (maybe attic or walls), some say the windows are the main contributor (but I have double pained.. so idk). Maybe the builder went cheap and put 2ton just because Ohio only is hot 3months out of the year? Maybe I do have the right size unit and something else is wrong? idk.. you have any advice?

 

A cheap way to cool your house is to improve your insulation, especially attic, and put in an attic exhaust fan. A friend here did it, and it turned the miserable hotbox into a comfortable place to be.

Looking at typical houses out there, for the cost of one of these, and the labor to install it, you would be saving a lot over an extra ton of HVAC.

My dad did this on the house I grew up in, and installed a vent in the ceiling as well. Allowed us to open the vent in the ceiling, and create an artificial breeze in the house.

 

I never spent $400 as fast as I just did 30 minutes ago.....

 

Hookers and blow?

 

Even better

 

Male escorts and ecstasy?

 

Oh. Rubbers.

Big rubbers.

 

Dildos right? Not condoms?

 

Hankook dildos

 

As far as sizing goes I would go with what the internet says, I don't know any rules of thumb for sizing residential units. It's very possible it just can't keep up. Put a meat thermometer in supply air grille and see what it reads. If it's over 60° that isn't good. Ideally it would be around 55° for residential but there are many factors that can keep it from being that low. Id try getting heavy blankets/curtains and putting them on large windows especially if you have big sliding doors to your backyard. I assume that with those temps you have listed out that your AC is on most/all day trying to get it to a lower setpoint. You don't want to raise the temp too much during the day or else it will have trouble getting back down to your setpoint in a reasonable amount of time. Other than those suggestions I'm really not much help as repair goes...

 

Yeah, I have heavy blackout curtains on all of the westward windows.. you know the kind you buy in college so you can sleep through your hangovers until mid afternoon! Main problem is that Ill leave it at 70F and it can't maintain 70F throughout the day even though it started at 70F in the morning. I guess Ill try and get a thermometer to measure the outlet temps, and go from there.

 

lay a thermo on the vent. the air coming out should be at least 20 degrees cooler than the room air.
I have 2 ton. my house is a small ranch 1072 sq ft. i do have a high ceiling in the main room but not more than 12 feet.
it can hold any temperature I set it to. and it can get hot here. like right now its 94 outside, I have it set to 75 and Im cold.
our average is 89 for the next few weeks.
its a dry heat. but the 3 days a year its humid here I can get her down to 72 and hold it no problem
you most likely need a bigger unit.
also SEER number is important for efficiency but adds to cost.

 

Howdy from this weekend's road trip

 

More swagons from H-tine????

 

^you so hood.

H-tine holdin it dinnne

 

You need a professional to do a "manual J" analysis on a home to properly size it...
rule of thumb is 1 ton for every 500 sq ft but there are a lot of variables.
Running joke was always you could stand across the street and hold up your fingers to cover the house from arm's length perspective and however many fingers equaled tons.

Too small, it works too hard to cool and bills go up and house isn't comfortable.
Too big and it cools so fast it doesn't have time to remove the humidity in the air and you end up with sweating walls and a clammy cold in the house.

Keeping the heat from entering to begin with is the right approach to start...BEST is the spray insulation on the underside of roof...keeping the attic from ever getting hot. Typically, those home's attics only see 5 degrees
over ambient building envelope air temp. Crazy...but expensive and hard AF to do if you're not building a house new with exposed attic to install. I'd just ensure R-19 to R-30...not a huge jump but the more the merrier...attic
exhaust and fan are a great idea too (as mentioned).

Obviously, using fans to help you "feel" cool enough to keep the temp down a bit is also a good way to save on the electric bill and give your ac a little break.

Thanks guys, my only entry to the attic is in my garage at 10.5ft. Looking to get a used ladder tall enough so I can check out what it looks like.

 

you need to find a girl with more entries into her attic, bro
