    What vehicle do you drive?

    Here are some shots of the l28et motor and my new turbo. The stock turbos are air cooled, the new turbo is water cooled. We had to tap the block and hand bend new lines for all the cooling, as well as relocate some oil lines. This took about 3 days to get right. The shots were of the motor in my...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    @fwb - Sorry, maybe I worded that poorly - I only ended up purchasing 10% of the specific items I had on my original list. 90% of the things on my list were changed after testing several options, so I ended up purchasing a different type of part, if that makes sense (Example: I originally wanted...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I don't run coilovers on my Evo, but the Z is actually a stock coilover. I just upgraded mine from the shitty ones from 1976 to something more modern and actually comfortable. My setup is definitely not for racing, and with the right setup it can be quite comfy. I will agree, at least in most...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Well, like I said - mistakes were made. I was young and I goofed (This was over 10 years ago). Lesson learned. This Z is insured with a declared value through state farm. I had to submit receipts for all parts and any labor. I let them know it was a restoration project that was ongoing, and they...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Yea I fought state farm a bit. I got some of the money I put in back, but not all of it sadly. I was also young and pretty inexperienced with this stuff so I totally made some mistakes along the way.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Yea but I lost my ass on it pretty bad. Spent a ton on bodywork then got hit by some idiot in a huge truck with no insurance. Mine covered but they didn't cover the 15k in custom fab work I had done to mold the widebody and other things. Ended up selling it at a massive loss. Bittersweet for me...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Tldr: daily. I started with the intent to have a weekend driver after I sold my 93 FD. After spending more time in the Z I just fell in love with everything about it. I've been in an Evo since 2004 as my daily. So I decided to build a daily z. The process involved many hours with several Z...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    A motor is in it. I'm swapping the l26 in it with an l28et. Motors are almost identical. All L series motors are interchangeable. The weight difference is nominal.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Suspension is done. New coilovers complete, new bushings on everything. Swaybars front and rear are done. Ride height is finally where I want it. Motor goes in next week, finally. More updates on that as I make progress. Still need to get the rear end cleaned up. Have to fab mounts for the CF...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Welp, over a year later, and 2 cars deep, finally got some progress. The 72 I picked up, after further teardown and inspection, was in fact a huge piece of shit. I scavenged what I could from it, and sold the rest for parts. I hunted for almost another year to find another one I could work with...

    I'm so happy they were annoyed with me and my farming pal in those logs. Even accused us of boxing (we weren't). Entire team is ignorant as fuck. Made my day, thx gg.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Remove all area damage. I play a helltooth doc and we do low 60's no problem with it. Did some mid 60's unsuccessfully but did not have any lag. Just have to remove AD. Same goes for EP monk.

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    Knights who say Ni used to be a pretty good home for newbies to the server. I don't really pay attention to most of the happenings outside of Class C raiding, but I know they were a good start.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I agree. I've daily driven a 400 hp Evo since 2003 and was considering something different. I test drove a BRZ and it just felt like it needed more power. The trans was super responsive, and the handling was excellent (the poor sales lady was pretty white when we returned from my test drive)...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Burren, nice! Yea the L28ET is inline 6 and just sounds amazing. After the build is done and it's running strong, I'll work on interior and exterior, but I expect it to be a ratsun for a while. I'll post some pics as I make progress, pretty excited to get the turbo in soon.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Just rescued this 1972 Z down in San Diego. The owner was going to part it and send the remains to the boneyard. The front frame rails and a few smaller panels have some rust (mostly surface). He was convinced the car was full of cancer (which it isn't!). Spent the last month getting it prepped...

    They just patched, not sure if it fixed it. I haven't played much yet, will hit it hard tonight, but haven't had that happen yet (post patch).

    Same. I bought my copy on Steam before I even watched the videos. Same guys that made Bastion? They can take my money.

    Why all the Emulated EQ servers if EQ is free to play?

    Exactly what I said in the beginning of the thread. Some type of reoccurring reset similar to a ladder system. With some means of translating your progress into either the old live servers or another "progression" style server that all completed "ladder" characters move to at the end of a season.

    Why all the Emulated EQ servers if EQ is free to play?

    Agree with all of this. Also, SOE is really pushing hard on the player driven resources and such with other games - let's see this happen in EQ1 also. If SOE doesn't have the manpower to make these happen (and I can't imagine there are hardware issues as hardware is cheap, and VM's are cheaper.)...

    Why all the Emulated EQ servers if EQ is free to play?

    Yea, that's another point I missed - lack of self-reliance. New games (EQLive included) remove the requirement to do things with other people, except for the very end-game. You couldn't really farm Quillmane solo, and you knew who your friends were by the people who camped spawn points and kill...

    Why all the Emulated EQ servers if EQ is free to play?

    All of this is just my opinion and experiences. I consider myself a pretty die-hard EQ nerd, and some of my fondest gaming memories all came out of this world. I play on p99. I can tell you the reason I play it over live is for several reasons. My experience on live was in a very active raiding...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Thanks! Yea he's good. I would put on the mask of Jeram if I did tho. Also, Fetishes crit for around 3m each, 6 with Jeram. I just don't have room for it with this build. I am slowly working on a pet set, but I still need a set of Taskers before I try it. Also, I have gambled about 2k shards on...
