You have a lot of foreign professors? I did. One was called Dr. Oh. From somewhere in Asia. I swear he inserted a handful of marbles in his mouth before he came to class because I never understood a word he said. And it was a good thing he copied the contents of the overpriced textbook onto transparencies for us because we'd never found it on our own. [img][/img] So, for me the class was a total waste of time. Couldn't tell ya how many speaker boxes I designed sitting there not taking notes. [img][/img]</end quote></div>

Yeah I do, and it is frustrating because they're so hard to understand. My Algorithms teacher is Sudharson Iyengar, my Mechanics of Materials teacher is Abdel Magid Beckry, and my advisor is Maryam Grami.

We only have two Caucasian professors in our engineering department.

 

So Randy, you really haven't had a problem just throwing spray paint on springs?

Do they make a more rubbery spray paint?

 

I've never had a problem spray painting springs. I've even polyurethaned over the paint and that didn't even flake off.

I think they have latex paint in a spray can now. I never used it though.

 

We had about 4-5" come down, Saturday it warmed up enough to be outside comfortably but mot make a muddy mess. No riding on the 230, but we did use the Rhino, had to have it in locked 4-lo and even use the winch a couple of times on a few steep grades. It is always fun using the machinery, and we were able to cut and split a lot of wood.

Cool, I'll give it a shot then. I think I'm going to hold off on painting though until it warms up some and I just want to get it all together for starters. The a-arms look like they're in sweet condition.

 

Yeah, that looks to be in pretty good shape. The 250s don't seem to be as beat up as the 230s.

 

Shocks need paint, bad:


tie rods are decent:

 

Wow, the guy must have cleaned the a-arms up then if the shocks are THAT bad. You need a bench grinder with a wire wheel to get all the rust off.

 

Yeah, they'll be a little work. Its not quite as bad as they look in the pics though. Its definitely not perfect though. The arms and shocks we from the same guy and the tie-rods were from someone else.

I'm super excited. I hope everything its well.

 

I'm sure you'll be much happier with that setup than the stock 230. I used to say the 250 was like riding a cloud compared to the 230.... Which is more like an old log-wagon.
