Lisa's R3000 laptop had the power plug stop working. It required disassembling the entire thing to install another or use the expansion port on the side for power. Commercial cables for that are $130-$220 and hard to find so I used this homemade fix I found on tomshardware.com forum using an old pci card I cut up, a $3.50 plug from radio shack and part of an old battery holder. Works surprisingly well, if I say so myself. I wish I could have hid the wires for a cleaner look but it works and saved the laptop.

This is the racing modification of the STi verion II of the GC Impreza WRX in GT2.

This is actually the racing modification of the GC Impreza WRX for GT1,but I hate the wheel(Why it's white?).

USA to UK 240volt modification by Denis,

On Friday, December 2, Attorney General Martha Coakley visited Neighborhood of Affordable Housing (NOAH)n in East Boston to meet with loan modification counselors and to discuss the AGO’s five bank lawsuit. General Coakley talked with the NOAH staff about what they have encountered when dealing with the banks as they have pursued loan modifications on behalf of clients.

The AGO provides funding for two of the loan counselors to specifically work with subprime loan clients. The funding came from the AGO June 2010 settlement with Morgan Stanley.

NOAH is a multi-service non-profit community development corporation (CDC) focused on creating and preserving affordable housing opportunities and building safe and healthy neighborhoods for those most in need and helping others challenged by today’s housing market. A major mission of NOAH is to assist homeowners who are struggling financially obtain loan modifications.

Here's the stock FireFly.

Step 1: Remove all screws from the case, make note of the 3 screws that are different front the others, they go in the stock. You do NOT need to remove the two screws in the cocking lever, that will come out all on its own without removing the screws.

There should be a total of 20 screws including the one on the battery cover.

not really an "elegant" solution but it works fine.... I'll see if I can find a better solution

Side by side comparison of the modified PT EOS taillight and a Planet Bike Superflash.

The new LED is a Luxeon III red-orange, rated for 190 lumens at 1.4A - should be good for about 40 lumens at the normal EOS max power (300mA).

The superflash has a tighter beam, but the EOS seems to be putting out a lot more light (1w on the EOS vs .5w on the superflash). The PT EOS also has better water seals, and you can set it for low and medium brightness, as well as flashing), making it a lot more durable/versatile as a bike light.

The foot design in the Exosuit was ok, but I found that it was not nearly as stable as I would have cared for. With the addition of the big fuel tank/Jetpack, the extra weight caused it to be even more unstable. I extended the feet back by 2 studs. I also widened the feet with a small bracket and tile underneath. After taking this picture I replaced the 1x1 tiles with a cheese slope.

Although this was originally a set, I made some modifications shown here to create a more fluid hood. I used hinge bricks and the provided tiles and just gave it a small incline. I also added jumper plates on the inside to allow both minifigures to fit inside the car without falling out or coming off the studs. As you can see, I also added the antenna and hook which was used in the first movie to send Marty back to the future.

The wires for the auto mode sensor were removed and replaced with a 47k ohm resistor. This converted all the auto (color) settings to a 1/8th manual power setting.

I had to stuff a quarter piece down the center of the formation (Gluing the barrels together in a diamond pattern would have prevented this problem, ah hindsight) to seal off the airflow there, and then stuffed half-pipe pieces of FBR down the edges to help hold the barrels in place.

To make sure the barrels are far enough out to get the seal correct, slide the shell casing onto the adapter that will eventually be used to attach to the titan and slide the barrels down until they connect with the adapter.

Here's your Firefly reassembled, the placing of the white pieces is critical for the advancing mechanism to work correctly, so make sure that the turret advances before reassembling the shell.

Also make sure that the cocking lever is oriented correctly or the gun will never catch when you cock it.
