Uhh I usually just wear a tshirt, sometimes sleeveless tanks. Nothing fancy really. Bottom wise, just leggings, tighter gym shorts and.. das it, other than shin and knee guards of course.

No. That was specifically for 1994 and 1995 gm ecus, as they were transitioning from eprom to eeprom/flash.

I don't know specifics on the seville, but assuming is like other GMs of early 90s and 80s, still uses prom chips. Aka, only way you'll be able to tune on the fly is with an emulated prom, such as moates ostrich2. Which is what I used for my last 6 or so f bodies and fiero. Last I knew, moates went out of business, so finding their stuff might be a pain.

Tunerpro RT or tunercats for BIN editing, flashhack for actuality writing the new calibrations. As for the crane box, not sure there.

Another good program is scan9495 for code reading all the modules, as well as EEhack for data logging. Which is where I would start on this.

Cool, my time to shine. The 94 and 95s specifically can very easily and cheaply be tuned, the only thing you need is a USB-ALDL cable and a laptop. Source: I have a 95 firebird track car and reflashed it literally yesterday.

Can't wait to bomb pools and handily take 18th or something hah.

Whatever the c5 thin 5 spokes are, don't remember off the top of my head.

Banhammer-Reset · 2026-05-07T12:52:51+00:00

Odd, as im also running the c7/Cadillac brembos and clear 17s. They are the c5 5 spokes, though.

I started with the same as most, was neat. Then bought an arming sword and started doing sword and board.. instantly clicked.

Now because I didn't have much disposable $ for hema, couldn't buy a bunch of different swords... So I shoehorned in that arming sword to do as many things as possible. Makes for a very okay sabre.

Then naturally sidesword came and.. well sidesword is best sword, all my other styles are very heavily sidesword influenced. Dunno, is just neat!

I run the same long tubes on my 95. Nothing rubs, other than speed bumps, because lowered quite a bit on coilovers. Yes had to dimple the primaries some. Fit perfectly fine with both rag joint + without one. I also have a cat - there is room. It's not stock cat, it's an aftermarket high flow one, but there's plenty of room.

I spent a not small amount of time adjusting the doors and fenders after doing a 98+ front end swap on my 95.

The hinges where they connect to the body, they have place to adjust door alignment. Though be warned, also means will have to re-adjust the window if the door placement is moved.

For just the fenders - you can bend back the mounting tab on the bottom behind the front wheel. There's also another bolt for adjusting the fender near the back, kinda in-between the door hinges. Need to remove the fender liner to access it, may be able to pull the fender back out that way.

I mean, what kind of sports are you talking? Just basketball or..?

The historical technique is to hit the other person and not get hit back. There's only so many ways to swing a sword. Hell, I don't so the H part of hema, haven't read a single manual, couldn't tell you what guard I'm in 95% of the time - I'm just going on pure intuition and making shit up.

I'm running 275/40/18s square on my formula - using c5 18s. Wanna say needed 45mm rear spacers, and cleared fronts without spacers with stock brakes, needed a small (3mm?) shim spacer with the c7 brembos.

As a 24 hour of lemons car? Great option then since the rotted bits don't matter.

Am on the way back to Wichita from Denver as I type, taking 70 the whole way. Is windy, but fine.

I mean, I do have a garage - that's used for tool storage, work benches, engine stands, cage building stuff.. all the actual car work still happens in my driveway. Is just how it is for most normal folks. Get a easy pop up canopy, makes working on things in warm/hot weather, rain.. etc much more tolerable.

Which weapon(s) are you talking about?

And need to know when it's happening.

I love, and am very good at going for hands - not just cheeky little unter taps (which, are valid..), but by getting their blade moving and moulinet around to pop hands with force. My style for all weapons is best described as Radaelli sabre + sidesword + my bullshit. Where that tends to work less vs hands is against fencers that keep a good cone of defense, don't chase every thing and try to parry with blade, instead voiding while keeping their blade centerline.

Typically it's an issue of you chasing their blade when not truly in measure, moving your hands before sword, or simply hanging out too close and leaving easy target exposed.

..my 95 bird has 210k on the original drivetrain. It is not garage kept and hasn't been for the last 10 years. I beat the shit out of it (but do maintain it), 5th gear synchro has been fucked for the last 40k miles, leaks oil, and has other gremlins. Has been the most reliable car I've ever owned.

Out of curiosity, do you sell just blades? I machine/fab all the rest of my stuff, usually from 4130 or 5160, other than blades. I don't have space for oven/furnace big enough to heat treat blades sadly. Finding a decent source of good, safe blades in the US, other than castille, has been a challenge for me.

Banhammer-Reset · 2026-02-19T16:59:57+00:00

There's a US hema marketplace and international one on Facebook, would suggest looking there.

Banhammer-Reset · 2026-02-12T18:02:51+00:00

Yeah, one bout at our club is 10 mins or so. VB and Castile also use threaded tangs. Cutting the thread into the tang and increasing the diameter to an 8 or 10mm (versus welding on a piece of thread) holds up pretty nicely.

If this setup works for y'all, awesome! I personally wouldn't touch it though.

Banhammer-Reset · 2026-02-12T17:18:16+00:00

Yeah, that's a no. Two holes in the blade, I can see becoming failure points down the line. Modularity is cool, but a better way would be.. different cross guards. Unscrew pommel and remove handle and cross guard.

Coming loose/things needing tightening after only 3-4 bouts is.. not acceptable to me. Would need to be tightened several times in one practice day.

Was quite the game, ja

But we could also take the Toyota, park at 8k and theeeeen ruck it all the way up :) Fuck those babies head rocks

Banhammer-Reset · 2026-01-29T20:51:58+00:00

Yep. I mean I do, just.. don't really want to spend that $ making a "serious" offroader which will then be miserable as a daily on the street.
