gm happy Monday #2

 

I thought they were still in business, the phone number is still active and rang for a while before going to VM when I tried to call the other day. Based on the design you probably could do exactly that

 

F that our attic is so full of junk, when we move it's going to take weeks just to clean that thing out ughhhh

 

life pro tip

get rid of everything and move without anything

eZ PZ

 

One of my coworkers did that before moving a couple months ago. She let everything go real cheap and now lives in Florida with nearly nothing including cars since she sold those too. Apparently moving cars was even too hard, but she forgot buying cheap cars is even harder.

 

cars are harder to replace yeah

A lot of stuff besides the sentimental is easily replaced. And a lot of stuff that is/was rarely used will be out of sight out of mind lol

I took truckloads of stuff to the thrift store before I moved and it was still a huge PITA. I hope I don't have to move again for a long time

 

Car parts and tools are about all I buy anymore. I've tossed about all the extra between the last 5 moves. The rest is just whatever I have already. I don't go thrift shopping anymore and I don't pick up junk just to fix it for myself, because I'm honestly hardly ever home in any real capacity other than to sleep and work in the shop.

I'm gonna start calling all my maintenance costs "upgrades" too

You act like you've never welded copper with the power of high amperage before

 

shhh we don't talk about my mistakes just my successes

 

It seems my power goals for the turbo taco may have been modest, a nearly identical setup just made 344whp and 396ft lb torque at only 10psi tuned on a haltech. That's considerable for relatively low boost

 

Damn that's gonna be fun for ya to have


You gonna start building a 9" for the rear?

 

I think because I'm not drag racing and a turbo spools progressively I'll probably be fine with the ARB 8.4.

 

Oh I forgot you had the 8.4 still. The ARB carrier is strong and the 8.4 is also up to more abuse than the plain old 8" carrier...plus driver mod

 

That one cuts both ways haha

 

You're a good driver as far as I know
