wait not adrian peterson?

 

Have you checked the Johnson rod for play? They tend to be problematic.

When I have a bad day, I go play with robots.

 

Little T hasn't smashed them all to pieces yet. must brainwash him even further.

 

That Johnson Rod has a weird tip. The one on my sprinkler system has a knobbed end. Its always primed to go when you want it to and doesn't leak when you don't. I find that it stands up to repeated use better than the design to you posted.

 

I got 3/4 of the way reading through the product description before I realized it was not a solution to my problem, but rather a website you likely order your Christmas gifts from.

and at the same damn time.

 

Hahahaha nice!

Read some of the other products on that site. It is pure comedy. I'm going to start recommending them to some of the users who ask questions that have been answered 7491647353 times before.

"Muffler bearings" "710 cap" "lowering kit" "butt dyno"

 

do it.

also, epoxy coating done. that was a job, took our time but super happy with the results. did clear coat with anti skid additive, I love the look and feel.

still need to touch up the white...the muriatic and pressure washer did a number on the white walls.

 

Very very nice. My good friend had a company do his garage over the weekend, but I have yet to see it. The company even went as far as to grind down the existing concrete to remove any stains, inconsistencies have that perfect rough surface for the stuff to stick to, and fill in all the cracks that developed over the last 30 years.

I'm super jelly you guys have floors like this. Seems like it's a wise investment, but I'm saving to have a furnace installed in my garage instead (it gets cold here!!). Too many wants, not enough money, lol.

 

Thanks man! Yeah, all in, it cost me $400 in materials. I'm happy too and can tell it'll likely never need to be redone. I wish I had distributed the sprinkles a little better, you can see the squares where I stopped in some areas but once cars/tools are back in, I'm sure it'll be less obvious.

A furnace sounds like a priority, that's for sure. I got lucky, the flooring wasn't too bad, just a little dirty.

 

Dude, that looks almost as good as my hood.

I spot four A-Spec rims. Give me your address MEOW!

 

What didn't you like about it? My friend has one and he loves it.


Post some pics!

 

 

See, that's a good price. I think my friend paid close to ten times what you paid. His comes with a 15 year warranty, but to be honest, I think I'd rather do it your way- even if you have to redo it every 5 years, it'll still be way cheaper, plus you can change the color then too if you'd like

Is that your main water tank in your garage? That thing is TINY!! This may be a really dumb question, but do the houses in FL have furnaces?

 

I hope some time at the range helped you out buddy, shootin shit is a great stress reliever.

 

still waiting humpy

 

For what?

 

 

 

Morning all

Gatr post those pics

 

Will do soon.

My LG TV went white on my yesterday. Apparently I have to either get a new TV or replace the T-CON board or some caps or something.

Some shit like that.

 

It wasn't a bad car. I think if I only owned one car, and used it for commuting/back roads/track days/autocrosses/Ikea runs, I would have liked it more. Although I think a GTI would have still been the better car to own for all of that.

Rear visibility suuuucks. The dash is huge and intrusive for tall people. When Ford put wider wheels on the ST (versus the non-ST Focii) they would hit the struts at full lock, so they simply limited how far the steering rack can move. That means you cannot make a U-turn if the oncoming lanes are only two wide. I made a ton of embarrassing three-point-turns in the ST.

The suspension is set up for maximum fun all the time, which is great until you're commuting and you feel every highway expansion joint. Steering is electric and has okay feel, but it's twitchy. Those Recaros that are so gorgeous in the showroom have poor lumbar support for long drives.

The FoST is like that 19-year-old fratstar who brings a fifth of Burnett's to class on a Tuesday morning... always ready for the party. And it's good at parties. But it's not good at being "nice" or "relaxed" at all. Ever. The GTI is more like the college alumni... he can still throw down, but he can also go on a nice date without vomiting on his ladyfriend's shoes.

I've since driven a few Fiesta ST's and liked them more - the chassis of the FiST better fits the frenetic nature of the motor, to me.

And I traded the ST for another BMW with a big, lazy straight six that has a 7,200 rpm fuel cut, two long doors, red seats and some oil seeping from some gaskets already. But damn, it rides so much better and is just as athletic on a back road.

 

That sucks I had a Samsung rear-projection (yes, bring the lulz) that was $Free and worked fine until the HDMI port - the one port I actually used on it - gave up the ghost.

Managed to find a Panasonic Viera 50" LED on sale at Best Buy for $400... it's pretty nice so far.

How easy is it to replace that board?

 

What about the 4 17" Advan RS wheels from the S2000 below that!!?! Sure, it's 6969 Fornication Way, Smegma, FL 33069-69143
Thanks man, well, I did my research pretty well and if all goes as planned, that floor should never come up ever. I even OVER did it...and used a pressure washer every time when they suggested that you could rinse with just the hose. Pressure washed, then did the muriatic acid TWICE to ensure all pores would be exposed, let it dry for a day, did the crack seal, let it dry for a day, then the epoxy, let it dry 24 hours, then the clear with the anti skid applied very liberally and letting it cure for 7 days instead of the recommended 4 (before putting a car on it).

From what I gathered, the water based rustoleum epoxy shield that home depot stocks on the shelves has a tendency to show signs of hot tire pick up where you park within a few years. Even the prep for that over the counter kit is only a citrus powder etc, rather than the muriatic acid. It dries to 3 mil thick...the one I got, which I bought from home depot online, is the "professional" line and it's solvent based which dries to 5 to 6 mil. That, in addition to the solvent based clear probably gives you about 10 or more mil thickness before you'd even hit concrete from parking, dropping tools or even running a jack over it constantly. The professional kit is labeled as intended for industrial floor use where you're in the middle of a machine shop with sparks and every fluid possible going on it without affecting integrity. All in all, if you ever do it, count on doing the clear. The floor just didn't feel or look finished without it, even the texture of the flakes that were kinda sticking up, you could feel them and where I had patched looked glossy where the bare areas didn't.

I probably could have spread it super thin and gotten away with it only costing $100 for epoxy and $100 for epoxy clear. Supporting tools like the mixing bit and epoxy roller etc were probably an extra $50. BUT, I would rather have had too much than not enough, I wanted a nice thick coat.

My only gripe is the sprinkle dispersing. I would do a good job, then roll over the edge of my previous square to keep a "wet edge" and I would roll over the sprinkles. So I'd have to add more to hide the line but it was hard to do from 4 feet away so there are some heavy areas and some areas where you can see the squares I painted on the floor, kinda. I'm just being picky and I'm sure it'll be less noticeable once there are cars and workbench in the garage.

Okay, so, Northern Florida might have furnaces, but down here, we just have 2 5KW resistance heating strips they toss into our AC air handlers to heat the home. Pricey to run though, that's why I have a socks and jacket rule if you're cold in my house.

It does look small in that picture but it's a 30 gallon tank. Perfect for 2 people but when we have kids etc, we'll likely need to upgrade to tankless, or 60 gallon. The electric bills in this place are exceptionally awesome...between the AC cooling well and being pretty centrally located in the home, the concrete exterior walls, the rolled r-19 insulation, the small water heater, we only hit about $140 in the summer for electric which is excellent for a 2200 square foot SFH.

 

I don't care about those wheels. I care about the A-Specs. And I showed up last night and Yummy was already there.

 

Well I don't care about your hood, especially without pictures.
LOL...my oem wheels are never for sale.

 

There's a dark gray A-spec in my parking garage at work... I wonder if he'd notice if I swapped the wheels for a set of base ones?

 

Anthracite Metallic. Learn yer paints!

Nawww...he probably wouldn't! They're both round! duh.

 

I didn't say they were for sale either. :thief:

Edit: Why does the little dude taking the TV have to be black?

 

Not Black, Indian!

Anil got locked up?

 

Looks black to me!

 

That's cuz yer a racist.

 

I see no colors! People are just people.

 

but that brown black guy is definitely stealing a tv though...:thief:

 

see? See?!!!

 

Pfft, I'm trying! Trying to add all this Honda info (am I allowed to call it a Honda?) on top of years of BMW knowledge takes time... at least I know it's a J-series motor and it's SOHC with VTEC but not really VTEC because there's only the one cam...

The BF's dad works for Honda, actually... I am preparing to dazzle him with useless knowledge of the TL whenever we meet, because clearly that's impressive.

 

It is a Honda. It's totally cool to call them Accords around here, too

 

Broccolli loves that!

 

looks to me
