haha. or call in sick. i do that chit on the road sometimes. it's hilarious.

so far i haven't run into a bolt that's been too hard to take off w/o any PB. i will, however, have to wash out the inside of the black one. it smells like rats. it used to be in a field for, i think, 3 years before i got it. i was lucky today to have 2 of my friends help me out. they actually did most of the work. i was just the brains of the operation, since it's my truck and i know exactly what i want done. plus i'm pretty good at barkin orders. and what're you doin with your finder, uncc?

hahahaha, that thing is awesome! especially the one that pivots around.

so i gutted most of the interior on both pathies today. it was a damn nice day to work on them too, at least compared to other recent days. here b the pix. i'm gonna put the links again cuz i think they're wayyyy to big to put on the board here. and the last pic is a pic of the back speakers in the black one. they're some crazy lookin speakers. hopefully they're loud! http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b95/ch620/P7110119.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b95/ch620/P7110120.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b95/ch620/P7110121.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b95/ch620/P7110122.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b95/ch620/P7110123.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b95/ch620/P7110124.jpg

yeah, i also plan on buying misters and a bigass fan. hopefully i'll feel up for working on it tomorrow.

that's a good idea. lol. and i haven't even started yet. it's been way too hot and smokey outside. i'll start tomorrow, though. i just got back from costco where i bought a bigass car canopy deal so that i can have some shade while workin on the pathies.

i'm sorry that i'm not about to contribute anything of importance to this thread, and that i haven't been keeping up with it, even though it looks interesting. but i find it funny that the next video on that little "related videos" list on the right of youtube is titled something to the effect of "running your car on water doesn't work. it's a scam." but good luck with your experiment! we need more people like you to pioneer these new and important experiments.

man, that sux. i just hope that smoke stops coming down here! lol.

nah, mine's an SE and the donor is an XE. mine has power everything. the XE doesn't. even the seats and dash are different. and this one doesn't have a spare tire rack, which kinda sux. but i guess i'll just have to get a swinging tire carrier made. maybe one like Simon's. i guess i could swap all that electrical stuff while i'm working on it, but i had planned on just keeping the manual locks and windows cuz it's less work that way. lol. i'll have to swap over the chick magnet for sure.

yeah, i'll be workin on it this week. and it was damn hot today too.

hahaha. gas.

i think someone on here said that you use 2.5" pipe w/ headers. idk.

hahaha. i can imagine giving a note like that to one of my professors...

now THAT i can do myself no problem. i guess i can do that too. lol. damn, you guys are throwin too much stuff at me. i figure that would be a good time to redo the whole exhaust. headers, 2.5" pipes and all :tonguefinger:

like turn your engine into an oven? lol, my friend always told me how the hispanics on the jobsites that he used to work on would heat their aluminum foil-wrapped burritos in the engine compartment. pretty smart, i guess. and i guess gasoline engines were just meant to power electric generators

that's what i assumed too, but that whole "gravel guard" deal just sounds unnecessary, so it kinda threw me off.

i guess i could. i never thought of that. what's the point of epoxying, undercoat/gravel guarding it?

well, ATM i don't have money to get it painted, so it's gonna be red and black for a while. lol. i hadn't even thought of painting it while the body was off anyway. so the hood, front fenders, and back hatch are all gonna be red. i'm gonna use the hood and hatch from my red one just to keep it as much like my red one as possible. and the red hatch says SE on it rather than XE.

"Traditional gas engines operate at 8 to 10 percent, efficiency, while the engine on the Mustang, he said, is at 38 percent efficiency." quote from the first article anyone know why?

Happy Birthday, Slick!

i think it's safe to say that i'm going too. as long as i don't and exam or some chit (i assume we're going on a weekend anyway, so that shouldn't be a problem)

yeah, it's been realllllly smooth so far. i'd like to point out that this is my second free pathfinder. my dad picked up my red one for me from someone that didn't want it anymore. so i got reallly lucky on scoring these pathies. and yeah, i plan on labeling everything. and of course, many thanks to Martin! that's my friend on the left that was in the red pathy when i rolled it. he showed up after my other friends and i had pushed the black one in the back yard. and my dad is on the right. he had to bring my friend to the back yard to show off the pathies (i was taking a shower at the time my friend showed up) and yeah, my neighbors gave me that look twice lately. once when i brought back the red and rolled pathy (they were actually laughing at me) and twice when i brought the black one home (that time i got the WTF look)

i've always liked maxs. this one is probably the best looking model year i've seen, IMO. i like the how front kinda looks like the new GT-R and the front headlights look like those on the 370Z and how the taillights/back end resemble that of a newer 2-door civic. i think it looks awesome. i was too lazy to look at the view of the interior, though (or any of the other tabs than the 4DSC one)

hell yeah! i got home at 630ish PST. my friend and i chilled in Chico for a while before we headed back home. checked out the mall and stuff. so we got the pathy in back yard all redneck-like. now i can find twice as many paths. here's some pix. now i just need to decide when my friends and i wanna work on it.

good stuff to know.
