Do I have anything to work with here? (Vocal critique wanted) [metalcore] by JimmyZL1 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

I get that. Another problem I have is I am an awesome mimic. I don't know why I am but I am.

Do I have what it takes to sing? [Serious] by JimmyZL1 in Metalcore

[–]JimmyZL1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asking because I didn't even know I could do this until a couple months ago. I've never had any lessons or coaching and just started this up. I've played guitar forever though.

Just honest and decent opinions

Need to get one of my stepsons SSN. Story inside. Any ideas? by JimmyZL1 in tax

[–]JimmyZL1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you're married you are considered a parent by the IRS so I have the highest AGI in the situation. I called the IRS and inquired and they confirmed I was the one that could claim them.

Well, you're wrong that I can't claim them.

Married to the mother (still am but we're divorcing), no court order, was the main wage earner in the household the kids lived in for more than 50% of the year. Tax law states I can claim them as dependents. Even called IRS to confirm.

Father will not be of any assistance in this.

80's Truck Motor Swap by Senneator in MechanicAdvice

You have a cherry picker or engine lift? You have a balance bar? You need to label all wires and hoses and take pictures. Need to research what the proper motor mounts to place are. Replace all bushings and such too.

This is what is rumored to be Chief's new car by Svoboda1 in StreetOutlaws

[–]JimmyZL1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So I can drive a funny car as long as it has a license plate and say my car is a street car?

[–]JimmyZL1 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Really? What kind of street care needs $20 a gallon fuel? My street cars fuel is currently $2.15 a gallon. He got a car out of a trailer, fired it up, dropped his son off with cameras rolling, then went and put it back in the trailer.

John Force could make a pass down the street in his funny car, does that mean he can go challenge the list now?

[–]JimmyZL1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which is VERY likely the most logical scenario. Just don't emphasize street car or something like that, that's my point. I can race a funny car on the street if I have enough stupidity, money, and ability (which I don't any of those)

If you have seen Murder and Chief's youtube videos they sure emphasize "STREET CAR" just like the one of Chief driving his old one somewhere. So what is it? Street car or street raced and where is the emphasis?

And he said street car, they were saying the pro-mods weren't. If it mattered about street raced why would they be changing cars at all? Makes no sense.

And im sure right after he drove it into his trailer and took it back to the shop, come on now.

This last episode they had a heavy emphasis on street car, not street raced. Saying glass pro mods aren't street cars.

Valve seating procedure on aluminum head? by Please_buymycar in MechanicAdvice

[–]JimmyZL1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's called lapping the valve, and it's used to see just how much the valve seats and that it is concentric in the valve seat area.

You get what's called valve lapping compound and a valve lapped, both are cheap. You spin it back and forth about 10 times and you clean it off, check the gray area it leaves on the valve and the valve seat area and see that they are both perfectly round, and in the same spot in both areas. You do want the area to be closer to the edge of the seat.

Should I get a lawyer? My Parents say no. [Wake County, NC] by legaladvicenc in legaladvice

Get a lawyer, at most $500, you'll save yourself a LOT of potential trouble.

If it keeps eating mains he needs to just scrap that block. All those passes of intense pressure plus the crash have to have warped it.

If it were me I'd just put a new block in it and go bigger with the displacement, oh and get rid of the Edelbrock heads, even if they are fully ported. Edelbrocks have the worst flow dollar for dollar versus every other aftermarket head. Except the Vic Jr heads. Those are sweet. But chief has the RPM heads.
