Hot rod / custom car builders on LI?
Main Post:
Any hot rod or custom car builders out there interested in taking on a project car?
I have a 1988 Suzuki Samurai that I bought new. Has about 30k miles on it. Body is super clean, has 9" lift and sits on 33s. About 10 years ago a friend helped me do a Chevy small block swap. Has been sitting a while, needs to be refreshed and started. Also needs needs to be re-wired - I started installing a new digital gauge cluster but never finished it. And I'd like to swap out the power train - delete the Suzuki T case and axels for some from a Jeep (have in hand, need to be rebuilt).
I can help with this, but a lot of what it needs now is over my head.

You looking for a buddy to come help you wrench at home or are you looking to drop this car off somewhere and have them do it for you.
If you are looking to friends to help you wrench i would suggest getting active in some of the local hot rod clubs or samurai clubs on / near LI
If you are looking to drop the car and be hands off, and let someone complete it for you I might be interested.
Does anybody actually find professional bodybuilders attractive?
Main Post:
I’m a straight woman and have never found overly muscular men to be super attractive, but I can see how someone could find a normally/naturally ripped dude hot.
However, I cannot ever picture anyone finding those super intense professional bodybuilders, male or female, attractive. It looks extreme and grotesque to me. Also, I’ve never met anyone who thinks it looks good. It looks just looks....unhealthy. I’m not hating on bodybuilders, I’m sure they don’t give a damn what I or anyone else thinks, but I’m just curious.
Top Comment: I go to a bodybuilder gym and I’ll tell you straight up, they don’t do it for the ladies If you’re a woman and don’t want to be harassed or approached at a gym? Go to a bodybuilding gym all the dudes are looking at the mirror
Need help with older Spa Builders AP-4
Main Post:
Hey sorry for jumping in and posting as a noob, but I'm not having much luck finding guidance online.
So we have an older hot tub with a Spa Builders AP-4 controller. Has the old air tube switches, mechanical thermostat, mechanical timer, buzzing relays, etc. I don't want to spend a ton of money on a new controller, as this is an old hot tub and we use it maybe 10 times a year. But it may come down to that.
So my first dilemma is... the temperature. It gets too hot, and then I try to turn down the thermostat a little, and it doesn't change, so I turn it down a little more. And then all the sudden it drops from 104 to like 90. There's no in-between. I already replaced the thermostat about a year ago, because it was heating to 104 all the time. That seemed to fix it but not for very long. Not sure I want to throw another $50 at another mechanical thermostat.
And I also have to keep cleaning the relays, fixing air switches, etc. I don't even have any topside temp controls, just a couple air switches. So anytime I want to change the temp, I have to open the side panel, etc.
So with all that, should I consider replacing the whole controller? Or should I replace the thermostat with something digital? I was considering asking one of the local "hot tub removal" crews around here if they could sell me a whole used controller cheap. I imagine they probably just throw it all away. But I wasn't sure how interchangeable they are either.

Replace Both temp sensors and the heater relay. Look for leaks in the air switches and air buttons. If you can do the work yourself your total parts outlay would be less than $200
Are hot springs a "room recipe" in this game?
Main Post:
Title. I found a hotspring in the ice small island and i want to build one on my own. Is there an actual room recipe that is a hot spring or?
Top Comment:
There is one for a spa. Or the hot spring is a combine item that can be used on its own like the tableset.
