New Apple Laptops? Fuck That. Where am all the CLONES at?

Remember UMAX? Or for that matter ANY MAC clone? You can read about them HERE. Apple charges $1500 for a Laptop that has the SAME video card as a $200 PC Laptop. I know, "Apples aren't for games". This matters not. A $400 PC will outperform an Apple all day. If I want to play a native Apple game I should be able to. The only thing great about APPLE laptops is the magsafe. Its time for APPLE clones to rise back up. Make a cheaper, better computer that runs OSX.

Conversation Starter: Every sb350 is bored .30 over.

It's true. Every single one. It's said that they came right out of Detroit like that. In fact, every used engine or old car regardless of make or model is bored .30 over. Google it.

GMT800 Vent Pod (for trans temp gauge)


Well only because overkill before wasn't enough to protect my transmission I am stepping it up to "Gross Overkill" and installing a Derale cooler and fan, and also a transmission temp gauge. I made this vent mount out of mild steel and powdercoated it to match my wheels. The finishing touch is the Magnafine inline filter that I'll add and change at every 5k miles.

Update on Monster Transmissions 4l60

Well, they've been good so far. I had to pay 250$ to ship the unit out. It appears that something metal broke. My drained oil cooler sounds like a "rain stick" and the filtered fluid has lots of small and micro metal particles. The down time is killing me.

Double 55gal Wood Burner

This unit has been heating the shop all winter. It takes a while to get warm but once it's going it works really well. I didn't even hook up the forced air vents that I made. The flaps are to regulate air flow because the one farthest from the bottom opening gets hot faster than the other two.
