I got a tune for the 335i, 60whp and 80wtq! They are backordered though, so I probably won't get it on until I am back from Mexico. I got Gran Turismo 6 too for the PS3 and money I am going to put towards a billet oil catch can. Direct injection doesn't clean the valves like port injection.

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

I got a couple sweatshirts, a headset for 360 from one of my buddies, a new rear bushing set for the gsx, ring and pinion gears for the rear differential, bunch of tools and some gas cards. :)

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

I got some small parts for my 63 Mercury project. some other random things I asked for that I wanted but wouldn't buy for myself. And a bottle of Crown Royal Black that I am enjoying right now.

Goodhart . That smoker looks nice. One of those automatic ones would be nice. I have a charcoal offset barrel smoker that I use all the time. Let me know if you want any smoking tips. I'm doing pulled pork on saturday.

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

I received a new phone! Nokia Lumia 1020 with an Otterbox case. The phone is white but the case is black and damn near seals the phone off. It somewhat defeats the purpose of wanting a white one but whatever.

I also have a little something something waiting for me back at my apartment. I consider it a gift to myself. :D More on that later.

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

Fuck yea I want smoking tips! The only problem with this one so far as I can tell is that you basically have to have it inside in the winter months because it's not insulated well enough. I also got a $50 gift certificate to the local meat market, so I'll be trying something pretty soon here. Been researching the hell out of techniques and recipes the last 24 hours here.

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

Socks, underwear, and beer! Living the dream.


Also got some tools, money for a new steering wheel, some board games, and an 800mW laser (most are 5mW, this one is green and you can see it for miles, it's crazy and a bit scary because you have to be careful with it).

My car got these for Christmas (excuse the mess, I got excited and was throwing the packing paper everywhere):

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

So did I! Add me on there, S2kracka, it's fun to see your rankings vs. friends.

Love the smoker Goodhart, I'm expecting some damn good brisket & ribs next time I'm up.

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

more info on laser!

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

Smokers are awesome. I use mine all the time too.

Cheese, ribs, salmon, steaks, rib roasts etc. I've used it 1-2 times a week since I got it in October.

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

Those long range green lasers are lots of fun. I had one in Baghdad, we scared a lot of haji's with it!

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

Thanks to my family and the guys over at White Bear Mitsubishi they were able to score me an OEM Fob and key! Also, my buddy and I had 1W Blue lasers when they first came out from Wicked Lasers and wow those are fun! Those are sick seats btw.

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

I got nothing. Not even a handie. But goot my nephew a computer headset for the gamingz and gaming mouse.

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

Damn, how much do those seats weigh? They look stupid light.

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

10lbs each, carbon/kevlar. The pure carbon fiber ones are 5 lbs but not much padding on those, these are supposed to be more comfy than stock.

I don't have much more info on the laser, it's about 5" long, 3/4" wide, need to insert a key before you can turn it on. My dad's friend in China sent him some.

Goodhart, that smoker looks awesome, let us know how you like it.

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

http://www.wickedlasers.com/krypton maybe in a newer 800mW version? I miss a good laser, enjoy! I had the Arctic before getting into some trouble with flammable gas balloons... lol

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

See you Saturday night then good sir.

Got a watch, shift.knob, some other crap I wanted. Gift cards.Need to sse who installs remote start and alarm on BMWs

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

Wow, $700??? My dad realized how ridiculous priced these are here and I think he's going to start a small business selling them for about $70.

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

where did your dad get it from? That brand is redonk $$$$

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

China. Just got a few so far, but he's going to get a few hundred in the coming months I think.

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

keep us posted....

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

Pretty great idea honestly, best of luck!

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

I bought a wicked lasers arctic when it came out they are nice looking but most of them are not actually 1watt lucky if they are 500mw and the quality of the stuff inside isn't very good. Mine ended up going shot, I found someone from on laserpointerforums.com to mod it for me he put in a new driver and added a huge aluminum heat sink and a brand new diode. When he metered the output it now puts out 2.7 watts. If anyone is looking for a laser go to the buy,sell,trade section of laserpointerforums.com and look around everything on there will be of much better quality then you will find almost anywhere else.

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

What would you use those lasers for? Can you attach them to a firearm? Or are you guys planning on blinding airplane pilots?

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

Awesome!

Usually for burning or engraving or if you wanted, yes defense I guess. Definitely not for anything sky pointed... Back to the OP I'm eager to hear how the smoker works too!

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

My gift to myself. Got it for cheap so I justified it.

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

Spent my Xmas money today. It's a surly pugsley

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

Badass man! We have the Farley finally but it's still spendy. Hope you enjoy it! Come on over sometime to Gateway if you ever get the chance.

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

Thanks There is no way I could buy a new surly when they start at 1850.00
Had a short ride on it today. Need to rise the bars more. Also want to drill the rims to loose weight.

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

Drilled rims help a ton and so do some newer tires. 120 TPI and kevlar bead shave pounds. But those aren't cheap either. Just wait until you wear those down someday and find some online :)

Also if you need bar-mitts I might be able to help a little.

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

It has a brand new tire on the back. The guy had it put on this week. I been looking at tires and they are not cheap at all.

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

Nice smoker Goodhart. I wouldn't mind one myself. Brisket mmmmmm.

Cool seats for the Lotus Andrew.

The most notable item I got was a frequency drive for my Dake V16 band saw. It's a three phase saw and I have been starting it with a static phase converter, that method sucks. It will make it way better with this drive.

I also got a promotion at work the day before the Christmas break! Just being in school for the MBA is already paying off!

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

That's awesome! Congrats.

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

I got 2 Fleet Farm gift cards and a case of Monster

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

I got a new pair of sorels, home depot giftcard, 2 bottles of 2010 Darkess, a bottle of Baller Stout, broomball pants, some money and a growler from Brew House

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

What brand drive, Magnatek?

Re: Christmas gifts 2013
 

If you got the plug n play one it takes 15 minutes. I was looking at them too, but decided to skip it for $730. My seat warmers come on so fast that I can live with it, for now at least.
