I woke up and could have sworn it was Wednesday already. I was pissed.

That blows.
I got my 136A alternator in last night. Swapped on an ancient dual v-belt pulley in 5 minutes.
Then realized how exhausted I was from the weekend and got lazy.
Tonight I'm gonna get it back down on all fours and finish bolting together the exhaust.

How I read it the first time.
That sounds like a pretty good plan to me. 60D, my mistake.
Sounds good to me.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Have any of you guys run the rusty's long arm setup? From what I've seen the general consensus is pretty split between "it works well enough for the money" and "it's rubbish, avoid at all costs".
Long story short, I've got a set available for $250 that I'm thinking of picking up just to run for a few months until I get time/money to finish the 3-link. For that price I think it would be pretty hard to go wrong, but I wanted other opinions.
I figure the LAs will let me correct my caster and see if that's the main cause of my wobble/vibrations before I start adding more home-made parts (which could introduce more/new problems if I don't get that right).
Plus if I can get the LAs on and solve my highway speed vibrations/wobble it will let me get wheeling again sooner than later which I've been itching for lately. I've been trying to convince the guy selling the parts to pull them off his rig ASAP hoping to get up to Camp UJ this weekend but that doesn't look like it's happening.

For $250 you can build a radius arm setup. Bad caster? Build or buy a pair of shortarms for 100 bucks. Don't spend money on shit you're gonna run for a month then toss.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
I considered some short arms but regardless of whether I build or buy that would probably cost me more in the long run, plus I work slow and the kit has the "bolt on" appeal so I can get it done quick.
I was thinking I'd run the radius arms for 2-3 months while I do my unibody plating, 2x6 rockers, truss front axle (I have a D30 for mock up and stuff), X-member, etc.
After that I'm sure I'd be able to find someone to buy that LA setup for $200-$250. That way I'd be out no more than $50 in the end and would have something to run for the time being.
:dunno:

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
This. I hate doing "temporary" stuff now. All that means is you half ass it to get it moving, then pretend you're going to do it right later, and you never do. If you're going to buy a bolt on kit, buy one you want, or just build the one you want now and not wheel for a month.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Any of you guys ever listen to Periphery?
Been diggin' them a lot lately...some of their stuff is a bit over my line for screaming/blast/metal but they have a ton of cool jazz influence also.

Icarus Lives, Jetpacks Was Yes!, and Racecar are all pretty good to check out. Racecar is a good 15+ minute progressive thing with a lot of really nice changes and guitar work. All the guys are talented as hell.

15 minute long song? I don't have that kind of attention span.

You're missing out. Because Racecar.
Dream Theater's 23-minute A Change of Seasons is my drumming warmup. :laugh:
