Re: Maxima exhaust saga
I measured the Y-pipe on the car using a ziptie. I wrapped the ziptie around the pipe, then marked with a sharpie where it started to overlap (circumference measurement). That came out to about 6-3/16. Divide by Pi and that comes out to about a 1.97" outer diameter. Which is why I ordered a 2&q...

Re: Maxima exhaust saga
New 2" flex pipe and band clamps. One thing I am concerned about is the Y-pipe is not perfectly round. It has a weird hump on part of the circumference. So I may have to use some heat in combination with my pipe expander and a BFH. This flex pipe has to slip over that pipe. WP_001044.jpg I also...

Re: This forum is awesome!
I made some changes to attachment settings. Now it creates a 400 pixel thumbnail and if you click it, it opens the full size which your browser will typically rescale. That works way better than what it was before. You will have to re-attach and edit the post to change any existing posts. See my lam...

Halogen to CFL conversion for torchiere
I could have posted this in Energy I suppose. I've had a torchiere halogen lamp since at least high school, and it moved to college, to my two apartments, and how it's been in my house for 6+ years. It originally accepted the 300W halogen bulbs, though I had switched to the 150W years ago since 300W...

MiniSIM to microSIM
This is kind of weak because I have no pics. But my mother-in-law wanted to upgrade from a phone taking a miniSIM to a phone taking a microSIM. Except I didn't realize the phone I recommended took a microSIM until we got home and I tried to put her SIM in it. There are directions all over the place ...

Powered my house from an inverter
And that inverter was connected to my car. Yup. Back during Blizzard Nemo (2013), we lost power for 48 hours. Which wasn't too bad, but it was cold as hell. What's fun about this setup is I was toying with the idea for years (and most seriously in the October 2012 time frame) and before the blizzard...

Re: Maxima exhaust saga
I actually have an old Samsung P&S that I had before my Fuji (which is also 5 years old). It takes AA's which is actually good as I can use NiMH.

Camaro Z/28 @ Nurburgring
Damn. http://www.autoweek.com/article/20131015/CARNEWS/131019880 I maintain that the Nurburgring actually makes cars better. It requires delicate chassis tuning (and power and brakes) to get around the track fast. It is far from a flat track, so the suspension must perfect the balance between stiffn...
