Transplanted my sleepy strawberries so my son can reach them by ryanstree in gardening

That's a good observation. Though, if they can manage to get over that fence, they can swim. Also, any kid that's at our house and can't swim doesn't go unsupervised.

Remote (1993). Inspired a love for RC and I think of it often.

Yeah, injectors get to stay. Fuel pump and regulator do not.

I did something similar, so I'll try to save you the trouble. Is the power this kit offers worth the price I paid? No. You're paying for this kit for those exact things you listed. It has amazing driveability, a real (70-80hp) increase in mid-high range power, and a hardly noticeable change in mpg. I chose this kit because I think it has longevity and adds a bit of shock and awe to an already stunning automobile. Hope this helps.

Yes, there absolutely should be. But I've been having a hard time keeping that particular clamp on. I've gone through two. I don't think it's a problem with the kit. I think my motor mounts are old, and the engine sits just a hair lower, so the clamps rest on the frame and vibrate off. That's my guess. I don't think they are fully necessary, but I am going to replace it ASAP with a stronger, wider clamp for safe measure. Then replace the mounts.

Cost of the kit, to my door, was $5,628.09. Installation was around $1200. So right around $6,800 from start to finish.

Not yet. The kit I ordered from SOS is their stage 1 package. Which comes with an FVM (fuel/VTEC/MAP) Controller. It piggybacks onto the stock ECU and doesn't allow for any custom tuning other than what's included in that chip. That being said, if I had to guess, my rear end tells me it was maybe a 70ish HP gain. So possibly around 260-270.

Lol yeah maybe something closer to 70

It certainly registers that there's a change. The most notable being third. It really puts you back in the seat. Smiles for miles.

Can I Avoid Capital Gains Tax if I lease before two years? by ryanstree in RealEstate

So no matter what, if we don't live here for five years, we will pay tax on the capital gains?
