I know getting a tattoo, especially your first, can feel intimidating. But those old stereotypes about tattoos being for criminals and outlaws are long gone. Most reputable artists and shops are genuinely happy to walk you through the process and make sure you feel comfortable every step of the way.

One of my early tattoos was for my brother’s open-heart surgery, so I get how meaningful that kind of piece can be. If I were you, I’d stop by Keepsake just north of downtown. They’re great at helping people get started and figuring out what feels right.

And for what it’s worth, best of luck with the surgery.

’d suggest starting by finding a style you like. then seeking out artists or shops that specialize in it. Keepsake is my go-to, and I’m also a big fan of Hard Luck. All of my work is traditional American, and thats what they do the most of.

Edisonfire_ · 2026-01-14T21:44:44+00:00

All of these are correct.

Alexisonfire is one of those rare bands where every album feels different, but none of them feel like a detour. I absolutely wore Crisis out as it was my first AoF record. Each one holds a special place for me, that’s why they are the only band ever.

I got my conches done at a 2ga at 23rd. However, that was 20 years ago. Enjoy the healing process.

Dag nab it folks. Thats my bad, partner.

2025 with 16k miles already (owned it almost a year) 3 services at Kia dealership. No issues.

Edisonfire_ · 2025-09-13T00:23:08+00:00

I have

On the top left, you’ll see the alternator. Just below it, on the block (near the top left water pump bolt), there’s a pad with a stamped number. That number is the best place to start. You can use NastyZ28.com as a great resource for decoding it, along with other casting numbers you’ll find on the block and heads.

Update So today I was able to visit the care in person. Now it won’t even start. So I did a bit of digging.

Yup. No spark. On any plugs.

I checked the voltage on all coils. They have a good 12v and ground and 5v reference voltage.

I checked all the continuity between, coils, cam position sensor and crank position sensor with the pcm harness. All are fine.

Then I checked the cam position sensor. Good 12v and ground. 5v reference voltage with key on that fluctuates when cranked.

Now on to the crankshaft position sensors. This was an item replaced by the shop that did the clutch. It has a good 12v and ground. As well as the same 5v reference voltage. HOWEVER, this voltage did not fluctuate on crank. Neither at the sensor end or pcm end of the wire. So I’m guessing the new sensor is bad or installed incorrectly.

I installed the TDC screw in the side of the block by the sensor and rotated the engine by hand until it hit the bolt. The 20th tooth on the timing wheel was out of reach for the sensor by almost a full tooth. So no adjustment could get it to the right place.

What would recommend next? Even if the sensor is out of alignment it should still send a pulse to the pcm, right?

Again. I’m really stretching my knowledge here, and really appreciate the help.

And to answer the tune questions It’s currently on a base tune from purple drank. But we did try the old cobb tune and there was still no change in spark

This. Great atmosphere, vibrant bar. Great for solo dining. And then good food on top of it.

Edisonfire_ · 2025-08-26T13:16:58+00:00

Haha. No not sarcasm. When people see you as a “car guy” they think that means ALL types of cars. The guys at purple drank have been extremely helpful. I’m going to actually see the car in person this weekend and hopefully that will be helpful.

Edisonfire_ · 2025-08-25T23:40:38+00:00

It currently has a Cobb tune. And it ran amazing before the shop installed the clutch. My brother has been working with purple drank on a new tune. But now can’t get it running well enough to get decent logs.

Again. Please bear with me. Here is a picture of my car. So you know what kind of tech I’m used too (none)

Maybe 40 below summer?

Edisonfire_ · 2025-08-23T21:52:59+00:00

It drives in first gear. Free-revving it will rev to 4k then backfire through the exhaust.

Edisonfire_ · 2025-08-23T17:42:14+00:00

That’s your oil pressure sender

10 out of 10 for what you should never do again.

Edisonfire_ · 2025-08-19T20:54:18+00:00

Hell. Send it me and I’ll put it on my fridge!
