/We're counting on you, MD

Got a little snow the last few days.
Ran the tractor/snowblower, to clear a space for the winds to push snow right back on.

@theturbomrt It's a parking lot. You back out slowly and people don't hit you.

@Darkbrador gifted us a couple of balance bikes. Kiddo went for the pink one first, then wanted to see how the black one performed. He loved them.


He should get a month or 6 weeks before the bikes go away and the sleds come out

@VeeArrrSix Those wheels probably cost more than my entire history of cars combined

Modern NOPI NATIONALS?
brings me back. We entered my dad's s2000 and my crx with a swap back in 04 or 05

@Old-Busted-Hotness said in Air Compressors and misleading scam CFM ratings:

The bottleneck is usually the skinny outlet pipe on the tank. Generally they use 1/4 inch pipe.

The compressor inlet to the tank is also threaded, but it's (IIRC) 1/2 inch pipe. I put a tee and a regulator in there for high-demand tools, and it works like a charm.

3/4" pipe
Pretty good to run the impact gun

@ibRAD

I think if you chase the threads that are there, that stud extension is your best bet
You may have to put on the washer first and drill out the bushing prior to adding the extension

@theturbomrt I'll take one of the ones on the right please. Look at that flywheel/pully!

It's amazing. The pulley is actually also a fan to cool the pump!

These are mine. Left is the "max 110/15" system from HF
Right is 220/20 V4 single stage. It moves a massive amount of air, I can HVLP, air sand, die grind and it cycles on and off but never runs out. Not sure on brand but I think it was a "fell off the truck" number at HF that my dad straightened out and used for years.

I don't know if I'd trust an "oil-free" compressor for more than a year or so.

@Albino-Kangaroo said in Air Compressors and misleading scam CFM ratings:

I did have my eye on one of those 5hp Harbor Freight units thinking they could run anything I would need.

What would you use to run that pump? You can suck about 2.2 HP out of standard 110/15 circuits, beyond that you're looking at 220 wiring to wherever you have the compressor. Or you could go gas powered

Only rule for driving in Atlanta seems to be that your check engine light can't be illuminated at emissions time and your gas cap has to seal
Otherwise, good luck. Run whatchu brung on your commute

@way2blu said in MR2 exhaust leak fix — this just got much worse :

@theturbomrt I’ll take a pic when the car’s back (dropped it off for my mechanic to extract the bad stud) — the bonus lil’ cat (I call it a kitten now) has a separate bracket bolting it to the muffler, which eliminates a lot of play that’d be there without it.

Ah so where the muffler doubles back over is an additional joint. got it
Mine had a HKS fart cannon attached when I got it that was awful. Did a quick eBay/Motoria dual exit for a long time. Recently I made my own and am very happy with it
