Hmmmm....
Base camp is NOT that great. I have heard it is crowded and the fucking place is filled with trash.

I think watching Everest - Beyond the Limit is a good idea. Really well done series. Fucking insane shit going on up there.

I would look around the web and see what others have done besides the base camp. There has to be a bunch of folks out there who are like, "Yeah, Base Camp is sooooooo 2010..."

>>25366

Yeah, I don't expect the camp to be much else than a large gathering of resources, ex-resources, and tents. I want to go there for the scenery though; going to Mount Everest has always been an interest of mine. I don't intend to climb it, not in any significant way - just to visit and marvel and experience a country so different from America.

The looking around the web part is where I am more asking for suggestions. I'm sure I could sift through page after page after page of shit and possibly some good info, but I just have no idea where to start, as I've never done my own trip out of country (particularly one to a non-EU country). I figured maybe someone here had a good starting point.

That series is awesome though, I was really into it.

If you want to go trekking, avoid Everest at all costs. Taking people up Everest is pretty commercialised, to the point where it's about whether you can pay, rather than if you're an experienced mountaineer. Base camp is a shithole full of shitheads.

I mean I would need to live there for 7 years in order to obtain citizenship, but I just want to be able to live and stay there. nb

Iceland has stricter gun laws than the US, in common with most European countries.

Also how much knowledge do you have of synthetic Germanic grammar? Icelandic has a level of inflection equal to that of Classical Latin. For speakers of English, it's pretty much thehardest Germanic language, and will require years of study.

With regards to residence permits, you will need to have a recognised skill/qualification that is in short supply in Iceland in order to be granted permission to stay:

To be honest, it's pretty hard for Americans to get work in the Schengen Area and/or EU unless they have already secured a professional job, or have an in-demand technical skill. EU/Schengen citizens will always be preferred, and there are plenty of them to go around.

>>25368

The most logical way would be to study there, hopefully a non-bullshit degree, and impregnate someone, or study a high demand career here and pray you can get a job and then impregnate someone. Immigrating to Europe is a bit of a pipe dream sorry to say.

17k sounds like a lot for a 4 year old car with 40k miles. Not that 40k is a lot, but 17k is.

>>25204

I have one of these that is nowhere near as cool.

DICKS EVERYWHERE

tools being, good set of metric and standard rachets, jack + jack stands, lights/head lamp, wrenches, screw drivers, screw driver rachet, and various specialty tools that you might need/want

What are you trying to do? Turn it into a racer? Anything 4th generation and later has front double wishbone suspension.Usually they'll engine swap to a bigger Honda engine than the 1.1 liter engine. Unless it's designed by Honda to be a racer, since they caught on with a 1.6 liter turbocharged engine. The back seat/air conditioner/carpet/soundproofing/sunroof`s motor are removed to reduce weight. The hood/muffler tip can be molded from carbon fiber and hood latch mechanisms removed and replaced with hood pins to reduce weight as well.

Usually the suspension and intake or exhaust will see some aftermarket "performance parts". as well as a good brake job and powder coating of the rims and brake caliper to make it look flashy, as well as a racing seat, short shifter stick, paint and under lighting.

I would give it a tune up. New plugs, wires and oil, check the Transmission fluid and top off or change. Clean the injectors and sea-foam the engine clean.Pressure wash the engine then fix any oil or coolant leaks. Then check out your front suspension and brakes for damage and powder coat or engine enamel spraypaint. If it's got a blown headgasket change it out for a aftermarket performance racing head gasket.

Also, since you're rich, you can have your cylinders re bored and porcelain coated with a piston ring job while your changing the head gasket if you want. That will give you more power and life out of your engine when you're over heating it. Older cars there's certain tricks you can do sacrificing emissions control for more power or gas mileage like removing the innards of your catalytic convertor and adding an air filter and bigger carb to let the engine breathe less restricted. With newer cars with fuel injection it's all ran off computers and injectors, so tuning the engine is a dying art unless you hack into the central control module.

Aw sweet man, thanks, this was exactly the type of info I was hoping to get!

>>25306

>porcelain coated

what the fuck am I reading? ignore this shit OP..

anyway OP it depends what engine you have. what year of civic is it? if it's 92-00s and not an SI it probably has a worthless D series SOHC (1.6L probably). D series is so shit you have to turbo or swap. A cheap turbo kit and some internals could make 250~whp easily and cheaply. If it is a D series, either grab a Greddy kit with a t25 and toss it on..

a friend who knows his shit sent me this a while ago:
vitara pistons
no name H beam rods
arp head studs/rod bolts
chip a p28 ecu, tune with crome.
dsm 450cc injectors
Stock coil is good for around 400whp.
crank is more than fine....

Even if you can operate with that many clothes on you're still getting a lengthy search at security- and this puts you at their mercy. They could hold you past the time your flight leaves if they think you're up to something. Honestly it's probably going to be a lot easier to ship the stuff ahead of time.

>>23772

I am not debating whether or not it is possible, I know you can physically do it, fuck I see homeless guys daily that walk around armoured with twenty different shirts and four pairs of paints and a tasteful pair of hot pants on top to complement the look. It is sketchy as hell, which is the last thing you want to be at an airport where you have zero civil rights, they can detain you for hours on end if particularly dickish, you may even miss the flight.

Packing light is easy; a few l/s shirst, a pair of tees or two, two pairs of pants some sock and undies will all easily fit in a regular school backpack, that is pretty much all I ever pack for every trip I've ever taken, no mess nor fuss. Or if you must absolutely must pack everything you own, send shit to your hostel/hotel by mail. Just by suggesting it it seems you really don't have any experience in travelling.

I just don't see the point. You'd easily be able to fit enough clothes and a laptop / couple books / whatever else you need in your carryon, unless you're trying to take a vacuum cleaner with you or something.

Dude ever heard of backpacks? They are super fucking easy

>It is sketchy as hell, which is the last thing you want to be at an airport where you have zero civil rights

I didn't even think of that...won't you sweat like hell and make everything shitty anyway? Yeah this doesn't make much sense dude

Divali has been over for weeks.

broke as fuck-all.

debating on getting a 300 schwinn meridian and fitting a motor to it, or saving up for 5 to 6 hundred and getting a beater motorcycle (a proper motorcycle, not a rigged tricycle.)

only things i've changed are pedals and added bull horns, great bike

Motorcycle crashes sure do suck.

'99 Toyota Corolla. There's nothing cool about this car's looks, that's for damn sure, but I have come to love it dearly after putting ~70k miles on it the first year I owned it, and with virtually no major mechanical problems to speak of. It gets about 25mpg, is reasonably quick to accelerate, and it just...never...ever...breaks down, no matter how much abuse you throw at it. Plus, I've never gotten pulled over in it and I think that is largely because it's such an average, boring-looking old car that nobody gives it a second glance. It's basically the perfect car for college students.

Pic isn't my car, but it's the exact same make and color. I could never decide on what to call the exact color of this car (apparently the official color name is "Twilight Pearl" and idefk what that's supposed to be) so personally I just call it blurple.

>>25275
sick man. my next ride is gonna be a mountain bike with disc brakes for sure. might opt for a single speed for simplicity

>>25257

I have an interest, thats exactly why i want to go to school for it. Thanks for the help.

>>25258

if you had an interest, by 18 you would have at least a basic understanding of cars, if not had owned multiple shitboxes and pulled them into a million pieces and then attempted to reassemble

>>25259
nothing wrong with playing a little catch up is there?

I guess I learned most of what I know about cars from car magazines and a strong interest as a kid. but wikipedia will probably do.

The other guy's a dick btw

>>25266

Thanks for an actual response, yeah he is a dick. I have a few books from the library ive been reading lately so i got some basics down.

>>25259

You may be an asshole but that was a good suggestion at the end there and i shall give that a shot. Go fuck yourself.

1. Put the washer on the pump end.
   
2. Screw the cap on the pump end.
   
3. Screw the presta-schrader adaptor onto the valve stem.
   
4. Press down the release lever on the back on the pump head.
   
5. Attach the pump to the adapter.
   
6. Flip the release lever up.
   
7. Pump.
   
8. Press down release lever and remove pump.
   
9. Unscrew adapter from valve stem.
   
10. Apply valve cap to valve stem.
    
11. Insert pump in rectum and ride around town naked.

Do not forget that last step, it's the most important.
Seriously, you could die if you don't follow those instructions exactly.

You have a schraeder valve, the pump may only be for presta valves, unless you can change the setting (which it looks like you may be able to with the extra pieces on the floor) otherwise you're boned
