bored out the backside of the barrel adjuster hole (past the threads) to 7/16" and filed a little ramp to help the cable carrier slide easily around inside of there.

This is the bit where your heart really is in your mouth. This, or the terrifying SNAP the keyboard makes, repeatedly, as you try to remove it.
I put this photo up a few days ago, and just thought I'd count out the visible modifications, some that most folks usually miss.
1. Add on spoiler
2. LED marker lights
3. 15" wheels and wider tires
4. Shaved door handles
5. tinted windows
6. Upholstery
7. non-factory mirrors
8. custom "hand made" grille
Stone man disassembled and legs laid down. Bottoms were squared. A wooden jig was fashioned to drill holes in legs and pedestal to assure drill spacing and squareness.
Diana+ camera modified to take 35mm infrared film. I was going to tape my IR filter on the lens of a Diana clone, but quickly realized that if I did that, I'd lose the ability to account for my distance to the subject. I then considered that if I used the Diana+ with the 38mm super-wide lens, I could tape (however sloppily) the filter in place and still be able to set the distance between myself and my subject. The camera was modified (with electric tape and foam curlers) to hold 35mm film.
Sir Humphrey: To put it simply, Prime Minister, certain informal discussions took place involving a full and frank exchange of views, after which there arose a series of proposals which on examination proved to indicate certain promising lines of enquiry, which when pursuit led to the realization that the alternative courses of action might in fact, in certain circumstances, be susceptible of discreet modification, leading to a reappraisal of the original areas of difference and pointing a way to encouraging possibilities of compromise and cooperation which if bilaterally implemented with appropriate give and take on both sides might, if the climate were right, have a reasonable possibility at the end of the day of leading rightly or wrongly to a mutually satisfactory resolution. (Yes, Prime Minister)

1 dorknut, one aluminum water bottle bolt, one locknut nut, and the dinky cowbell sings like a less dinky one!

My kids and I had an Old-fashioned soda pop tasting to go along with our Pizza. I thought the bottles would make a cool pic ,all lined, up so my oldest son(17 yrs) and I took some pics.He laughed at me at first saying I was taking pics of weird things but I like how it came out after some adjustments with Picnik.

left side is the "before" version and the right side is after reshaping. Proof that SR seatposts don't have to be ugly!
The first step to disassembling the titan is to get that stupid orange retaining ring off of the back. It's glued on at a couple points, but that's easily solved with a small flat-head screwdriver. As you can see here, it comes off easily.
To remove the ring from the Titan totally, it needs to be cut, I just snipped one side of it and pulled it off over the pump housing. If you're just doing this for the air restrictor removal and the overpressure valve plugging, you can leave the ring in place to be slid back on later.
I really did not like the dark grey barrel that Lego used for the arms, and the usage of 2 of those bowls back to back created what looked like a weak spot. However, after tinkering around with the design, I realized changing around the parts to make it look better and have good stability was a little difficult. Using a lot of 2x2 round bricks was extremely boring, even those with ridges. I also wanted to make the hand/claws be able to pivot at the wrist, but in order to do so, the arm would either end up way too long to accommodate the parts, or would use technic liftarms too much and be wide and flat or too bulky for the scale. Also, making it look good and having the 'hand' able to swivel was also a bit difficult as most connections were only stable with an axle.
My solution was 2 wheel parts surrounding a straight technic connector with a hole in the center. The hole allows for parts to be attached. See my other pics for the arm attachment I made.
