****, where I work the coldest is -20. Just depends on how many trips get shipped out of the ice cream freezer.

Adam knows what I'm talking about. He is probably working in -10* right now.

I know a few people at Edys, and they have let me tour through there before. Woof is that cold! I think they get a break every hour so that they can thaw out.

We get our first break after 3 hours of work. We are moving a lot more than they are probably.

Oh and I didn't know THESE existed. Pricey, probably not worth it.

-16 and UPS trucks are not compatible. I was outside last night working on Trailers, tractors and delivery trucks. Trailers were freezing up the air valves and drums were frozen up tight. Dead batteries and bad glow plugs on delivery trucks, the tractors just said "**** you, i'm not starting!" I figured there was about 15 seconds of cranking before the batteries were dead. Thank God for ether, I think we used 1/2 case of Napa's finest!

Yup I was going to say the exact same thing as you did! It was even colder than normal! My brother told me tomatoes were coming in Receiving completely frozen. And later in the day they were shutting off meat and produce doors cuz it was making the rooms so much colder and on the docks. It was cold by the lockers too! O and just to let you know we had a 5 min. meeting today and Ronnie Irwine told us our cost of living raise is 45 cents and even better it starts tomorrow!!!

Hey JPH, Brad, and Shocker, if you can be a man and tough this cold weather this morning then you should come work at Walmart and make 2-3 times as what you do now!

And JPH, you should really think about going to work for Walmart Distribution Center so you can get your car done before you retire!!!!

Yeah I was is a mad dash for ether this morning, but the damn hood was froze shut, (and kinda smashed from a mail box), so it wouldn't open. Byt this time frost bite had set in so I abandonded the whole effing thing and stole Dad's car.
I was miserable most of the day, freezing as cold, warm in truck, cold at desk, warm in the rest of the building, then in and out of it all day. That ***** with your body.

Haven't you had that car for a little over 2 years? Because I remember seeing your car over at your parents' house for awhile. And you had the car since at least Sept. 2006 since you were the one to tell me about this site and you had your car then!
OH SNAP! :

Tracked down my exhaust leak. Blown header gasket on the driver's side. Damn. Only have to pull the feed pipe off though, turbo and parts can stay.

Fixed an oil leak (loose fitting on the feed side), and got the exhaust on. 950 RPM steady idle. I can burp the throttle smoothly now.

The car is loud. Not Nasty Nate loud, but loud. It's going to be REALLY loud when it gets up on the wastegate, fo' sho'.

Nick, we gotta get moving on your car. Turns out building a turbocharged LS1 RX7 is a pain in the ***. Just FYI.

Right on, bottom end WILL be done by sunday night, finally got parts and info I needed. I've been banking on the thought that as soon as your's was done, we'd switch gears and start doin work on mine.

I think I got screwed on the LCA I bought on eBay. I filed a claim with paypal, anything else I can do?

And in other news, my 60lbs injectors are officially for sale. $300

I feel your pain. On a better note my intercooler piping is ran . going to try to finish the cross over today after work. Then I have to purchase the parts for the down pipe and exhaust which should take a weekend to fab up.

Just use "ULTRA COOPER GOLD SILICONE" and NO gasket. It will work like a charm!
