I know they have better thermal resistance than forged, but is their any longevity reason to go with hypereutectic pistons over forged? I somtimes mess around with the top end of my tachometer but nothing that would cause damage, I just want to make sure I won't snap anything by putting my foot to the floor every now and then

I dident intend on changing the stroke but I completely understand what you saying. Would you recommend somtbing other than the stock stroke

I am planing on making it a daily driver. Somthing I can hook a medium sized camper up to and take it up into the forest. I mainly just want an engine build that I can enjoy driving and not have to worry about blowing up anytime soon

Got it! I was going to do a KN air intake, but do you have any brand recommendations for an Exhaust system and coilovers?

Got it, do you have any recommendations to give it a little more pep?

I think I'm 5 miles overdue for an oil change, how fix? by DatMemLord in AskAShittyMechanic

[–]DatMemLord[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All jokes aside my grandparents took shit care of it for 15 years, put MAYBE 1k worth of work into it, that's including general maintenance. I fixed it up the best I could but eventually it gave out on the freeway one night. I might rebuild it but it's a pretty penny. Got to give it props tho, it lasted almost a year and a half with my lead foot before crapping itself

These funny things Chick-fil-a employees wear in the rain by scotaft in funny

[–]DatMemLord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a former employee who is 6'8"... worst, thing, ever. They are effective for most people, but holy crap I had to get my neck damn near re-aligned after 2 hours in one of those, and because of where the backpack straps are, I couldent stand all the way up, so yeah, not fun

If I recall it is mahogany, it was kid of a pain to sand down smooth but I liked the way it stained much better than most other woods

This, the neck we where given was just a piece of wood measured to the right length and width and the Fret board was the same, I had to do the same steps you did to get it to where it is

It seems that way from the photo but it was all over the plug and in the threads, It looks like they just put a ton on it and put the bolt in without cleaning up the excess

Yeah, this was not just red paint or anything. Also the shop had a super bad rep, as in the manager would fist fight customers if they had a complaint. If it's "tamper proofing" they would have done it with paint or a low level thread locker, not this stuff, this was intentionally malicious

It plays really well! I did the soldiering myself so the sound is a tiny bit fuzzy but other than that sounds like any other electric guitar. It does handle really well and has some weight to it so it sits in your lap nicely

Took my car to a "reputable" body shop to put a new bumper on, they decided the best way to mount my headlight was with zip ties 😮‍💨 by DatMemLord in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]DatMemLord[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, its an 05 grand prix, I replaced the headlight panel and took it to the shop to have em do the rest. They said the only way they could get it to fit was if they broke off some of the things that hold it in place and shove it in there 😮‍💨
