How (and why) to Ramble on your goat sideways

when I use those dremel cutting bits, I always get dissapointed by the same results... until I started putting the dremel into a vice and moving the object that needs cutting. Someday I will invest or make a dremel-holding milling table.

dremel in a vise is the way to go for sure.
also cut that on a jig or band saw. maybe consider drilling the center with a large diameter hole saw before cutting it out of the sheet.

I <3 my jigsaw. It's got some old magic blade stuck in it that I've cut ABS, aluminum, stainless and whatever you can think of with ease.
Also, since my bitching about the hotness over here lately, it's cooled down significantly and been raining like whoa. Oh the ironing

From Pirate 4x4 forum

So was this one of you sadists?
When I lived in Phoenix I was driving in rural Pinal County on my way to do an appraisal and found this dude kneeling down on the shoulder next to his little mazda miata....
I slowed down and stopped next to him...
And saw him attempting to cut the head and horns off a goat! Not sure if it was a mountain or billy goat but I was not about to hang around to see if he needed help.
Dude was covered in blood and looked like one crazy SOB!
I was training this chick to be an appraiser and she totally freaked out and quit a week later

Quick question. I'm having my manifold drilled for 10mm studs; should I go 10x1.25 or 10x1.5 ?
Quick googlin' tells me that 10x1.5 is more common. I'd like to hear your thoughts (yes, you!) on it.

The torque specs are typically slightly higher for fine-pitch fasteners, meaning they will offer slightly greater clamping force as opposed to coarse-thread fasteners.
Coarse-thread fasteners are more commonly available, and are less likely to become stripped / galled during the removal process.

This connector, what it do? Came from the big loom on the passenger side and used to run in front of the motor with the wires for the IAC, TPS and PS. Was this for the aircon?

Started labeling/unwrapping everything to prepare for VVT goodness, but this one doesn't look familiar though.

Thought I already found 2 or 3 of those. What does it purge, fuel fumes too?
Edit: it's the solenoid on the fuel rail no?
Do I still need this with the VVT motor and 99 fuel rail?

yeah, it does something under certain conditions to help with starting, just changes the vacuum to the fuel pressure regulator.
I used it to control VICS on the last car i fooled with.
are you converting to returnless?
