Cant get to the back bearings without removing the x-member, etc. Even then it will be pretty tough, at that point it's easier just to pull. I think WRXdan was able to do all but the last one from under the car, IIRC...

If I were you, I would just get your files off and reinstall windows. You probably could have done it twice in the amount of time you've spent chasing this thing around, and the fix is going to be complicated. A fresh install always runs faster anyway.

That looks really good, and a nice writeup! I would prime that lip very well with an etch primer followed by any urethane primer. Then I would use the white all-weather weld-seal to finish it off. You can also tint that weld seal, if you want. There are other things, but weld-seal remains flexible a...

I carry a tape recorder in that little cigarette-sized pocket to the left of the steering wheel. I flick it on when I get pulled over.

Yes. Sounds like your network stack might be corrupted. There is a way to fix it. Sorry for the limited reply, on my phone.... Will post back later.

Do you have a better picture of the front of that car, all done up? I really want to see what those looks like... My good friends father had a TVR for a real long time...

open up a terminal (start>programs>accessories>command prompt) and type: ipconfig /flushdns then: ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew Those commands are a bit redundant, but its ok. After you've run that last one, wait a couple seconds, then run: ipconfig /all and look down the list to see if you're b...

You are right, a disseminated approach would be much more efficient.... But ethanol is not the fuel of choice. You can make 60 gallons of refinable hydrocarbons (40 gallons gasoline equivalent) per week of on an average 50'x40' rooftop using low technology algae culture. 200 gal/week is possible wit...

Actually, we currently purchase most of Brazil's surplus. You are confusing a production surplus with a net energy loss due to production, they are two different concepts. The ethanol that Brazil produces still TAKES MORE ENERGY TO MAKE THAN IT YIELDS, meaning it is produced at an energy loss. In ot...

I really don't want to get too involved here because the arguments are a bit rudimentary and scattered, but the way I see it, you've got 4 things to explain before anyone will listen to you: 1. The energy content of ethanol is ~27% less. I don't care if you fart in your gas tank to make up the diffe...

Algae farms that produce directly refinable hydrocarbons are FAR more efficient than even the best ethanol solution. The algae farms I've seen in NM are incredibly productive, but the problem is they rely heavily on electricity to operate their turbines, etc. so their net efficiency is not as high a...

Most of the differences are in the tail section. Refinements to the center differential design and bearing layout, and some differences in the shaft layout (all fairly minor). The synchro design was also revised to give much smoother shifting, but the design is significantly less robust than the pha...

Actually, if any of you have worked on a farm, you know that you could probably run a few tractors all winter long on the alcohol effluent oozing from the bottom of a silage pile. And that's not purposeful production.

It should be all you need... You might have driver issues though. If it's a dell, just go to their website, put in the service tag, and the drivers should be there to download. Only ones you really need are sound card, video card and network card. There will be about 50 things on the page though.

Yes, but if you know the directories and timestamps of when the fecal matter hit the rotary oscillator than you'll know what to delete.

Good luck getting rid of it! I have a few legal windows XP pro keys that I have no use for - and an .iso of the install disc, if you want them.
