carlrx7 reacted to a post in a topic: Made In America - The Economic point of view
-
I just finished my second economics class and the last chapter we had to read was about the global economy and how to achieve the greatest efficiency in production and growth. I'm still fresh to all of this but it seems that buying only american made items isn't the most efficient way to increase the economy. Here is a good article that my instructor referenced to us: http://faculty.tamu-commerce.edu/dfunderburk/428/readings/The%20Iowa%20Car%20Crop.htm BTW, I'm not telling anyone to stop buying American, just that any kind of taxation, tariff, import quota is only hurting our economy. In the end, it's all about maximum production and efficiency, if an American company can be the most efficient, then they are supposed to be making that product, if they need to handicap the imports, maybe they should be producing something else. I'd love an open friendly discussion on what you guys think about all of this! Cheers! -Carl

American Made Power Washer?
carlrx7 replied to liquidred's question in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination
Find a used one! look for one with at least 2.3 gallons and 2600 psi. If you plan on doing any house cleaning, the bigger the better. 3.0g - 3000psi is perfect, but I couldn't justify the cost over the used one I got. -Carl -
FWIW, Keep the stocker. These newer vehicles use drive-by-wire throttle bodies, and changing to a bigger or higher flowing tb will throw off the air calculations and possibly cause a run-away condition. Im running a stock ls2 throttle body and just pushing 11psi down its throat. Makes about 700ish to the tire

I'd take a heatgun/torch to the pinhole and seal it right up! Then you'll have TWO buckets! -

New Wheels and Cleaning
carlrx7 replied to mcotton's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
That's a good start, after the cleaning, protection is key. I use Quick Sealant on the wheels I just got. They clean up with soap and water real well. -Carl -
Prefered Method for inside wheels?
carlrx7 replied to ExpressThis13's question in Wheels, Tires, Trim, & Undercarriage
x5 for woolies, I had the same deliema for which to pick. Glad I got the 3 different size woolies. Makes cleaning the wheel barrels a snap and I like to use them in the engine bay as well. -Carl -
