  1. [sOLD] Hello, Been a long time since I have sold anything on these forums! Hopefully this post abides by the rules. Digging through some boxes I found these, never installed them. Comes with 2 horns, a generic straight bracket, and relay. Looking around, these sell for ~$35-40 new. So, I think $20 + s/h sounds reasonable? Depending on the service, I assume shipping isn't too expensive. I'll need to look into that based on your address. Thanks, Jon
  2. That router is a great toy to have, can't wait to see the results! Good work man.
  3. Good work on all the designs in here. Pretty cool ideas!
  4. I attached pictures of one of the largest projects I have completed. Hopefully they show up in order. The base was made using 30" wall cabinets built up on a 6" platform. The counter top was made using a 3/4" MDF base, and 3/4" pre-fab panels on top (screwed and glued to make it solid and 1.5" thick overall). Faced with 1x2 to make it look like a butcher block style top. Stained + five coats of varnish. The shelves were made out of MDF and poplar. Painted them in my yard with a spray gun, then installed and caulked all the seams to hide shadows. I made everything slightly short in height so it was easy to install, and used crown molding at the top to hide the gap (inside and out). Since the shelves split the existing return air grate, I built a custom one using stamped sheet metal. For scale, this is 14.5 feet wide and 9 feet tall. That is a 60" TV in the last picture. I did not add up all the costs, but the cabinets were the most expensive single component. The rest was just wood and labor.
  5. Thanks for that great feedback. I am not going to have a lot of headroom, and I know a concrete cutter... so I might just bury a grinder pump/crock setup. I think it might be quieter in the floor as well, and with the large volume of the crock it will not pump that often. Your bathroom turned out really nice. Its a long term project, just trying to plan ahead and budget.
  6. Great thread. We built in 2010 and I am constantly trying to think of ways to upgrade. This year will be a 150' asphalt drive ($$$). Right now I am building built-ins which are 16' long and 9' tall. Its been an intensive project. We will eventually finish the basement. I will need to add plumbing for a bathroom, but we will need to pump out to our septic system. So, I either have to cut the concrete away and plumb into a sealed crock... or buy one of those above-the-floor systems where the grinder pump sits behind the wall and you build up the shower and toilet. Like this: Does anyone have experience with these systems / any advice? http://www.saniflo.com/upload/images/EXTEPIPECROPWEBSITE.jpg
  7. Nice work man. I use thin OLED glass displays in some instruments at work and can give you the contact for a direct supplier... though you have to know what you are doing to program them. We have an EE for that so I don't ever worry about it. ME here as well. Its crazy where technology has brought us. I bought my first 3D printer for $15k and that was USED! It was the size of a fridge. I later sold it for $11k when I noticed the technology start to evolve. Best move I ever did.
  8. Very cool on the vent pod, especially if you can somehow keep some of the vent capability. People that buy these could paint them with plasti-dip, or acetone them, or maybe felt them (or combination of the above).
  9. Its funny, it takes some people that long to change a spare tire or install an air filter. Congrats on being baller when it comes to engines / automobiles.
  10. People have every right to challenge and question new vendors, I agree. You have to feel comfortable about where your money is going and who you are giving it to. Tide and the other mods would probably agree with the above statement. They aren't asking you to bow down to vendors. They are asking you to change your approach. Bad approach: "OMG baller industries what a lame name! Your turbos must be baller-bearing turbos" Here, let me even make a lame logo for you just to make fun of you a little more. The thread contained more critiquing than legit, laid-out questions. Everyone made it clear how sketchy this guy seemed, and how lame his company name was, and where credibility was lacking... and we are all entitled to that opinion... but I did not see many clear cut questions asking for this additional information. If there were specific questions, they were smothered in-between all the bashing posts, idiotic responses, all of which are from people probably not even in the market for his products. You want answers? Stop acting childish and freaking ask questions. Perhaps a better approach would lend more response from this new vendor. Good approach: Can you give us some of your background, do you have a website? Referrals? How can we feel confident purchasing products from you? What are your plans for test cars, proven results, etc, etc? What are your capabilities? Why should I buy from you? Sure, that is all in a perfect world... but if I were buying from someone I didn't know, those are the questions I would ask. Then again, this is the internet (not a perfect world)... so its hard to expect that exact response. I think the moderators are asking for a little better approach and some constructive criticism rather than useless bantering. Its tough to say "grow up" to a bunch of people on the internet, but in effect, that is what they are trying to say. I am not standing up for baller-instustries nor are we affiliated - just standing up for forum moderation. The forum has changed in the past 5 years, I think all of us that have been here a while can agree with that.
  11. FYI I built a custom module to measure inlet and outlet temps using a micro-controller, display, and some cheap GM IAT sensors. Data is king with heat exchangers.
  12. I can agree that outlet temps are all that matter, but outlet temps are directly related to inlet temps. What matters is the delta... the true performance of a heat exchanger. These are all things I am sure you know. PartyRock, I totally disagree with a cheap FMIC being "the best way to go". I have not read through this whole thread but its certainly not about the money (some of it is, of course). I personally stay away from FMIC unless the setup absolutely needs it. It all depends on the goals, but many people's goals do not require it. BTW have you ever installed FMIC's in the LGT or driven with one for a number of miles? BAC: I have designed an AWIC setup before and the results were quite good. I hate to join, this seems to mostly be a pissing match... I laugh reading most of it.
  13. Reading > LBGT j/k man. PDX made that for him.
  14. Just for reference... Green = 1.2mm pill Blue = 1mm pill Same WGDC table and boost target table for both logs. vf43 + fmic + catless DP (not my car, but someone else's) http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/3197/oldvsnewpill.jpg
  15. i'm thinking of buying a 5MTknob this week. Any discount codes for being a member?
