Nova Scotia BS Thread

There are better ways to piss away money, like drinking beer. High octane gas is only required for high compression engines. If your manual doesn't call for it, it will do absolutely nothing.

There is no 'energy' difference between 87 and 91 octane, only the ignition point regarding pressure. 87 will knock at high compressions, say with a super or turbo charger.

 

I owned a Lexus for about 10 years and it wanted supreme so I got used to it and plan to keep using it. I'm not worried about a couple dollars per fillup... And most of the gas stations around here use 10% ethanol unless you buy supreme so I usually go with supreme just to avoid the methanol... not that it really matters, I just prefer to buy 'the good stuff' lol

 

Octane ratings are like oil preferences. The arguments will go on till the end of the internal combustion engine. 87 wont hurt, and neither will 91. The only advantage as stated is the lack of dirty Ethanol in the fuel when running 91 Octane.

 

did they give you new weatherstripping around the window ( not sure what its call

I really have to drop my headliner to be sure i'm not rusting up by my little leak. Good to know this can be a sub $500 thing!
I've missed so much in this thread! Just when I think I've figured out how TW does their notifications, I end up missing a weeks worth of shenanigans!

stay tuned for some welding pics tonight someone's gotten off their lazy ass and has been crossing things off the "honey doo" list so he can work on some sliders.....

 

Yea everything new he said he could have saved me a few bucks by saving the old one if it was any good , i figured since I had a leak it wouldn’t be any good I’d go everything new and see what happeneds since the new windshield no leak or drips

 

spoke too soon leak is still present

 

Wish ARB bumpers would show up on Kijiji sometimes.

 

oh no!
that sucks!

 

Maybe, I havent been looking too hard, but I don't really see them around here very much.

 

A bit late, but still progress none the less.
here's my accordion gutter holder thingy I've been working on.


once this is done, its tube bender time.

 

I looked at that pic a long time, trying to figure out how those sliders go on a tacoma, and what they would look like... reading is good.

 

Dont worry, this side project is almost done. Then its tube bender time, THEN its slider time.

I hope the tube bender won't be more than a week's worth of evenings to finish, that is if the weather stops being -12. My little patio heater can only do so much in my poorly insulated garage ( First world problems I know... )

 

Looking forward to seeing that tube bender, been playing with different ideas of how to build a multi purpose bender/brake myself.

 

I'll drop off my Mr Buddy, every bit helps!

 

I thought the forum was quiet.... then I realized I wasn't getting notifications for whatever reason!

 

happens to me all the time.
you keeping my socket set all warm and cozy? snuggled up to the supra?

 

I seen this and thought of you @TacoMitch93

 

Well, since my power bill made me crap my pants after keeping the garage at a solid 7dC, I decided to turn the heat off up there unless I'm working up there!

But yes, it's nice and safe

 

we need a coffee meet.

 

I'm off Thursday and Friday. Then I work Sat-Tues nights. Then I'm off for a week!
