    Car issues...

    If it was me I would go buy a hose and help my friend replace it and let him buy the antifreeze and any other hoses that need replacing. Its prolly in the 10-20$ range and not a big deal. But I wouldnt feel responsible for it, I would just do it because that s what friends do. Next time I need a...

    Computer savvies HELP! One of the drives in Vista is almost FULL and I haven't even used it!

    Im still using xp BUT I would bet that the 900 tmp files are just recovery spots after every program you installed. Give it a couple days and make sure you dont have any hitches then go into disk clean up and remove all but most recent recovery spots. you can also go into system restore and...

    DIY cable material

    You are going to want to do 4 wires and not just 3. You should have the same total number of ground wires and your signal wires.

    Alloy steel is black. Who woulda thunk?

    not sure about that specific material. But what we order and receive at work is covered in bluing which is blue black. It's there so it wont rust. Bare steel can and will rust within hours if not sooner. We get in sheets and tubing so we are talking very raw material though.

    I'm trying to make this harder then it is and about to fry my brain. So I figured I would just ask the best way to make a switch to change output from my computer to either my Headphone amp or my speakers. I dont want to lose any signal strength or quality. Signal quality is my main concern. The...

    EA RP21 disassemble?

    about 24" or close to that. I ran 2 wires from cup to cup so I had seperate ground wire instead of using the shield of a wire for ground like the stock wiring. When you do this you have to either use fairly small wire or enlarge the hole in the ball coupling above the wishbone. I enlarged mine...
