Shop that can weld stainless?

So, I was hoping to finally make it out and run again, but discovered that every weld on my header has cracked, and the lifetime warranty doesnt cover it. Still trying to find a replacement, but wondering if anyone knows who could weld all the cracks (literally every joint on it) at a fair price. Th...

Anyone here interested, or know where I might be able to sell them best, to get reasonable money? Took them to Frank and Sons one weekend and the offer the guy gave me there was a complete joke. :...

Re: Go Pro

yeah, the wifi will eat battery life on the hero3. and you have to remember to turn it off. If you have the wifi option running (to use the app or a remote to control it), even if you turn the camera off, it stays on till you hit the button. more than once this has eaten the battery up for me.

Re: 3/1-2 El Toro Registration

Bummed. Was looking forward to getting to run another MCAS. (Ran at Cherry Point in NC a bunch) but it looks like the car won't be done at the transmission shop till Friday. :( I dont think a new diff, clutch, and trans internals needs to see a hard day of autox without some break in time. :-\ boo.

Vehicle Inspection When Coming In From Out Of State

So, Im trying to get my car (currently South Carolina tagged) some Cali plates. Already changed exhaust and took some of the vinyl off, hoping that getting tags will get the Torrance police to stop following me around. I believe the car will pass smog with the new exhaust on it, so not worried there...
