Anyone else use the kitchen table as a workbench?

svtpower · Apr 19, 2008

I have a bunch of stuff laid out on the table, was just making sure I have all the gaskets and stuff I need and that everything fits.

My wife says to me today "When are you going to move that engine block off the kitchen table?!"

I have a workbench in the garage, but it's cold out and the light is better in the house.

Anyone else do this?

Who needs a kitchen table anyway? In a man's house meals are eaten on the couch!

I have an old desk that i've had since i was about 9 years old that i still use to this day for everything from model buidling to small engine work to painting/drawing. I don't even own a kitchen table.

I use my bathtub to clean engine parts, and my GF gets HELLA pissed. Then the house smells like foamy engine brite for hours. At least I don't mind it though.

No way.

I guess i'm a sissy man. I get upset if there is any grease of spec of dirt anywhere in my apartment....and I live alone!!

I don't even eat on my own kitchen table...it smudges the glass and i hate cleaning it

Is that just a stock intake or has it been ported?

svtpower · Apr 19, 2008

well

Well I think it's a bigger deal for those that are living with a girlfriend or married. I just thought it was kinda funny.

It's my original stock one that I had ported by Tom Moss (Tmossporting.com)

What's the point of porting a stock intake? All that time under the hood and $ for 10hp?

I see your computer screen is the same size as mine yet you insist in these oversize pictures

Mustang5L5 · Apr 20, 2008

Bigger is better!

17" screens on laptops rock! My other laptop (for work) has a 15.4" screen and it blows

MikeROD16 · Apr 21, 2008

Contrary to popular belief, a well ported stock lower makes damn good power....actually make MORE power from idle to about 4,400 RPMS than a Cobra intake. From about 4,400-6,000 RPMS the Cobra will make slightly more.

Read all about it and see dyno sheets. http://www.tmossporting.com/tabid/328/Default.aspx

This is a daily driver so I'm all about the low end torque for fun around town. Plus I'm going for more of a sleeper car (stock wheels, no appearance mods, no obnoxious exhaust) so the stock look is what I want.

Anyone else use the kitchen table as a workbench?
