    Metal Garages/Buildings - what's your experience?

    I'm in Riverside County. Just outside of city limits so the county oversees my area. I didn't pull permits for it, but I used all the proper setbacks and anchoring so I could if something came up. We actually had code enforcement roll through my neighborhood and ding 3-4 of my neighbors for...

    Metal Garages/Buildings - what's your experience?

    I built my 24x40 to keep the boat covered. It has been great, but if I had the money, I would have loved a stick building on a foundation. I paid around $13k for the building though. A garage the same size would have been $100k+

    VIN by CHP Special Construction CA DMV

    Yes. I was told the same thing when I tried taking my old car to a CHP office outside of the county I live in. I still have to get the car I have now transferred from the previous owner AZ title as well. I just haven't had the car running long enough to bother...

    STU 33 Blaster #1 Cut w/ 091

    The car slid good. No turn brake, and only rear brake on that car. I was able to initiate a slide with a tap of the brake pedal. I had tried several different tires on the 12" wheel before getting a hold of the 10" wheels. I was real happy with that combo.

    STU 33 Blaster #1 Cut w/ 091

    I ran the 13 plus paddles on a 10" wheel and an 091. The narrow wheel made the tire a little taller. It worked really well, and never had issues with the trans.

    Swingset is just not for me!

    Kind of how we roll. We usually start a ride from the washes to Olds. Quick stop at Olds to make sure all the equipment is good. Then we roll out with a general idea of where we're heading. No real set point. Our stops tend to be somewhere that just looks amazing. If we end up at swing set...

    Old School rails? Anyone use them anymore?

    My last car had a 2180, then a turbo 2332 that I kept building and adding money to. Running straight race gas and looking into meth injection when I finally decided to pull it and throw the mini van engine in it. The only thing I regret about the swap is not doing it sooner.

    Who’s going for Veterans?

    Lots of stories from this weekend. Things broke, things got fixed, more things broke, lots of alcohol consumed. Nobody got hurt... Great trip! Missed the ceremony due to a break in my BIL buggy, but we were there in spirit. Wash 6 cleared out early Sunday, so we decided to stay...

    Who’s going for Veterans?

    Plan is to load up tomorrow so we can head out after work on Thursday. I may have to roll out with a dirty motorhome though since I haven't had time to wash it yet...:confused:

    Antigravity battery or any other lithium variant

    My car came with a Full Throttle battery in it. I expected it to be bad by now not knowing how old it actually is, but after two years, it is still cranking along. I do keep it on a tender though so I'm sure that helps...

    Which CV grease to use?

    Recommend two tubes for 4 CV's? I want to get some ordered while you have it in stock.

    Review: Gearone Super CV Boots

    One of the main reasons for buying the car I have now. Gear One hubs all around with Gear One power rack. The car is about due for new boots, and I plan to try their new super boots as well. I've only heard positive feedback on these boots.

    Another J35 Swap

    So with all that above said, adding the 3/4" spacer to the existing seems to be the intended use from P2R. A quick call to them would clarify that I'm sure.
