    Ivan's Sale: Flex 3401 vs. Griot Kit

    I think the 6.5" pads for the Griots is a bit much. My Griots turns a 5.5" pad just fine but I can bog it down. I can't imagine how easy it would be to bog it down with 6.5" pads. I've heards they'll do the same deal but swap for 5.5" pads if ya ask nicely. I won't guarantee that though. I...

    Storage Options

    Last October I bought a Suncast C7200 for $120 w/free shipping from Amazon. I see the price has gone up substantially since then, but I shopped around for about a month until the price came down. So, if you're in no great hurry.......... Amazon.com: Suncast C7200 Storage Trends Utility Tall...

    texas law lets man buy house for $16!

    My guess is that he stepped into a pile of tax liability as of the date of that form. They prolly can't get him for it now, but I'll bet they will after the 3 years.

    Purified water wash Down vs. Distilled.

    There are meters out there that will tell you the amount of disolved solids that are in the water in question. Clean reverse osmosis systems will filter down to >2 ppm. Over time, the PPMs will increase and that's the time to change filters. P.S. Distilled water is safe to drink, it's...

    failed smog - california

    Actually, just driving won't solve all the problems. Especially on newer cars. What a lot of tests are looking for are start stop cyles. Certain tests, will only run the test cycle once per ignition on/engine running period and may need several cycles to complete the test. Worse, if a test...

    Normal psi for standard water hose?

    In simple terms, when flow through the hose ceases, the pump builds pressure in the tank. Once the presure in the tank reaches a certain point it causes a relay to open shutting off the pump. You'd need a pump tank tee'd to the output of the pump. One side of the tee going to the pump the...

    Normal psi for standard water hose?

    Deadheading is gonna be a problem. With no way for water in the pump to escape the water will just churn & churn heating up very quickly. Like in seconds. Steam then will at least blow the hose or the seals if not melt the pump. The ideal way to deal with this is with a pressure tank like on...

    Clay Aggressiveness chart?

    So, I rekon for the home hobbyist with just a few family cars to maintain something in the medium to medium-soft range would be appropriate to keep on hand for general purpose claying. Now, where that chart again? P.S. I've been using Meguiars claybar but recently bought some PoorBoys just to...

    Clay Aggressiveness chart?

    Umm.....I have a question. Is there a downside to using the most aggressive clay. More likely to scratch? Much harder to use? More costly?

    ?'s about refinishing clearcoat wheels

    Normally, the clearcoat on wheels is clear powder coating. You can go this route and do the polishing and refinishing yourself. Then take the wheels to a powder coater and have that done. I'd imagine the clear coating alone will run ya about $200. Another route would be again to the wheel...

    Is this a good deal?

    Sometimes ya just have to have a lil faith. On the face of it, the deal looks pretty good assuming the price doesn't rise much higher. On the other hand, this guys feedback rating is atrocious. I wouldn't even give this listing another look.

    Blu-rays/Home Theater

    HMDI is far superior to Toslink in quality. Toslink doesn't even begin to have the bandwidth necessary to carry HiDef audio (Dolby TruHD, DTS-HD Master Audio). Not to mention that HMDI supports 7.1+ audio and Toslink only goes as high as 5.1. To the OP. Some BluRay/DVD players have an...
