    Should I move to California? Why or why not?

    why not? the carb laws... why? everything else :) especially if you're only planning on moving there for a few years, thats a couple of years of keeping your car rego'd out of state, or leave your car with family if it's too far modified already, or keep it stock if it's not yet...

    Won't Start

    what ecu are you running? if all else checks out, and you're running a stock ecu, borrow another one and swap that in... ecu's do fail from time to time, and may just not be switching on the fuel pump... (ie, if the pump runs when you bridge the diagnostic connectors, and the relays seem good)

    These Moutain Dew's in your area?

    You know what made me laugh? The coke Zero ads they were playing in the states while we were there... with the Coke marketing guys drinking coke zero in their cubicles 'for research' I laughed because it's closer to the truth than coke would like to admit... If you pour a glass of australian...

    These Moutain Dew's in your area?

    don't forget guys, another chance to get all the good stuff is apparently as Passover time, as Jewish religious practices forbid the drinking of certain products during that time... it just so happens that coke made with HFCS is one of those products, but coke made with cane sugar is not... i'm...

    These Moutain Dew's in your area?

    hell yeah... the coke here has real sugar in it... the first mouthful of US coke was a real shock to the system... then we switched to coke zero... :)

    Fast Food Joints You Must Try Before You Die

    As has been said a few times already... 1. In'n'Out (I'm still not a huge fan of those fries, but they were growing on me) also... cos a bit of variety is always good... (bear in mind, this is from an outsiders point of view, most of these places we tried once, twice at most) 2. Carl's...

    What's with the "JDM" everything?

    Wasn't the Agreement only not to _advertise_ more than 280ps, nothing to do with how much it actually made, and everything to do with their published claims? :)

    Got hit tonight, :) Fixed with pics on Post 91

    First off... good to hear that you're ok... cars can be reshelled and rebuilt... Now, rant time... Man... I f*cken _hate_ 4 way stop signs for just that reason... Over here, there is no such thing as a 4 way stop... Driving in California, it was such a head f*ck pulling up to a stop...
