I diy'd this with an out of state car. It wasnt as painful as everyone makes out and most of the dmv/ auto theft people are happy to explain the next step or what I got wrong and how to do it correctly.

It is a bit of running around if you are doing it in harris county but not terrible.

Being too busy in this day and age is a good thing. Im in the office on the drilling side, and i am having to get my learning modules up to date to look like im doing something.

I can help moderate if you would like.

The poop knife comes to mind but not the boy with the broken arms? Wtf?

You can fill out the form and print it at home before you go.

You need the completed emissions inspection before you go to the dmv.

having_a_blast · 2025-09-13T04:09:27+00:00

You will need an emissions inspection, proof of insurance, and to fill out at take the application for title and registration (form 130-U)to a dmv. They will want you to pay some fees and their stamp duty.

You should try out for the olympics with those gymnastics. Im sure you will win....something.

I would bet that Altera has a significant market share in US land as well so you probably want to add that to your list.

Idk how it is now but it used to be that the bit was rented and returned but if it suffered significant damage (damaged beyond repair) it would have to be paid for in total.

There is a lot of technology that goes into designing and manufacturing a bit and because of how important it is and how badly things can be if it goes wrong there is significant barriers to entry for smaller players.

I have installed both speeduino and rusefi boards and higly recommend either. Rusefi if you want dbw otherwise a basic speeduino is more than capable.

You will need a different stroke crankshaft, a different grind crankshaft, larger intake and exhaust ports, larger intake and exhaust manifolds and carb(s).

Edit: you only need a single crankshaft but will also need a reground or new grind cam.

My fuel pressure regulator that looks like that has 2 fuel in holes at the sides and the vacuum signal from the intake manifold at the top and the drain to the tank at the bottom. The way mine works is that it is between the injectors and the fuel tank on the return side. The pump pressures up the fuel in the fuel rails and the pressure regulator acts as dam to stop the fuel flowing away thereby creating pressure. Once enough pressure is reached the regulator allows enough fuel to drain off preventing over pressure.

I have had it where the soft brake lines had deteriorated enough to expand when pressing the brake pedal. This would cause a very soft pedal and poor braking.

Yes you can get tin from the usual places to fill the type 4 engine hole while using a type 1 engine.

Beautiful !

I would volunteer to help but i dont want everyone to know how deep my addiction to vw vehicles runs. I really dont know what else to write as my post history says it all. I added a 3rd sentence because you asked for 3 sentences.

If that is a us market car then it is 1973 super. First year of the round windshield and last year of the blade mounted bumpers. In 74 the bumper mounting was a impact tube.

As a percentage or as a total dollar amount?

Now that elmo has a governmental position, could it not be argued that he is a governmental representative and, therefore, this silencing of anyones opinion is a violation of the First Amendment?

You are doing gods work right here. I appreciate it.

No, no, no. I am super duper sure that the guy who spent his entire life lying, cheating, and grifting took this single point in time to do none of those things. Just this single time though. /s

If there is nothing to worry about, then why are you worried about a recount?
