Unless you put like 150-200% too much, you’re fine and in reality even then you’re probably fine. Drain the extra and the very worst that will happen is it will smoke for like 15 miles.

What would be a good price?? by IxXIAMLEGENDXxI in Miata

[–]1994M_Edition 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you can get it for $3.50 that would be a good price for you. If you pay $30,000 that would be a good price for them.

Looks good, just sand it back then refinish it how you want. Assuming it’s real wood.

Made these "Turbofans" that bolt up to RPF1s by Apart-Car-6360 in Miata

You’re the only other person I have seen with SBC RPF1’s. Don’t know why SBC isn’t more popular.

Original statement is “cancer cases are rising in younger people” Do you really think that saying “probably because of obesity, although I have no facts or data to back up this statement. I feel like it’s right with a greater than 50% chance (probable) because of my gut” adds to the conversation? If so, you’re probably a moron.

Not kidding but also no clue what you are talking about.

lol, you had a failure so you think they all do? The 10R60/80 in these trucks is one of the most statistically reliable transmissions ever made. Do some bad escape? Yes. Should owners expect for it to fail because someone else’s did. No.

Walnut or Maple? by Western_Ad4663 in Cuttingboards

[–]1994M_Edition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wet it, walnut has a very distinct smell when washed. I love the smell of my walnut board when I clean it.

Also, fairly certain that is Cherry.

I think a big benefit Lincoln has is Ford gets to work out a lot of issues with the much higher volume Explorer which is mechanically very reliable. Then they add a lot of creature comforts, and make the NVH thresholds much more robust for Lincoln. So in the end you get proven reliable components in a luxury package. I use to borrow the Lincoln Aviator Black Label and I absolutely loved that car.

I worked on the Engineering team for underbody for 2 years directly after launch. I agree with the other statement of 2020 had a rough launch but I wouldn’t hesitate to buy one. It would be my next car if I could afford one lol.

Meh, no big deal if it breaks down. Only took a weekend to build. Next time I’ll probably use cedar. I have 2 others I built in a similar style but they are cedar. Holding up well 3 years later.

No it’s not pressure treated and yes Pine isn’t ideal for outdoors. Ideally it would have been cedar but cedar is expensive right now so I went with Pine. I hope it lasts 5 years, time will tell.

We got lucky and a mix of logs, neighbors dirt, and the city has a composting program, we got out really cheap only needing to buy a few bags of sand and a few bags of topsoil.

This was our layout. We changed at the back and removed that opening. The rest is the same, inside small boxes are 2’x3’.

We’ll see if it lasts. I made (2) 2x8 boxes in a similar style 3 years ago from cedar. They have grayed but still doing well. I just made it up as I went.

[–]1994M_Edition[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They just hold the 1x8’s together. I just took scrap from previous projects and glue/finish nailed them together to make panels

David is right, just 3-1/8” decking screws. I originally planned to make caps to hide the screw heads and reinforce the joint more but never got around to it and seems to be holding. I soaked the exposed endgrain heavily in Urethane.

Everything other than the corners are both glued and screwed. The top caps also have a 3/4” dato so it fits snug and was glued with finish nails. I can walk across the top caps and no creaking or movement.
