    Anyone wanna testify on these "coilovers"

    I have Tokiko TEMS struts, B&G progressively wound springs and ST bars. At first, the B&G's dropped the car right where I wanted it to be, possibly slightly lower than I wanted, but it was OK most of the time. The ride became somewhat bouncy however, but it handled very well. As they have...

    word to the wise

    I've skimmed over my wife's email's a few times. (By accident of course....) Seriously, after 13 years there is not much I already don't know about here anyway, or that she does not know about me for that matter. It is shocking sometimes to find out things about the other that you did not...

    What is the Obession ??

    Feet can be fun. Nice to nuzzle when they are next to your ears... LOL besides, it really can turn on the gal if you do it right. (Ever had your toes sucked? It is amazing that something so far from anything could be such a turn on.) Not that I'm a "foot" man or anything, but the best...

    Gas Mileage?!?! Am I Alone?

    To Vegas and back to Boise this October, averaged 25.5mpg. This was with a week of Vegas traffic in the mix, drag races, crusie and other full out running thrown in there. (And a ticket for 80 in a 70 when I was really going 89 at the time, but had been going 120mph....) Quite a bit of...

    Oil pressure just went to ZERO.

    If the sensor fails, your readings are wrong. A mechanical gauge is generally pretty accurate, and does not have any sensors to fail. Problem is you really should not be running then "inside" of your car. (Line could fail, and then your pumping hot oil into your car.... Fire or burning of...

    7mge or 7mgte oil pump

    Yes, it's all about the gear height, not teeth count or anything like that on the 7M pumps. NA is shorter. Has less flow per the same engine rpm. Actually looked at making a custom pump, using two sets of gears. the shaft should hold up to turning them. Only problem is you have to pin...

    poor brakes

    Are there any dark spots on your rotors? I had this happen with my PB setup. The only thing I can figure is the zinc coating was not uniform, and as it wore off, caused the pad material to deposit un-evenly on the rotor face. This caused the pulse you can feel. What I did was use a...

    I can help solve our national deficit

    I sure don't miss the years President Peanut was in power.

    You're In Stasis 100 Years. What's the First Tech You Look Into?

    No doubt, IJ would be building a propane powered FTL vehicle with thermal coatings and a new head with perfect Rockwell hardness ratings.... LOL Sorry man, could not resist... :) Besides, I'd be right there trying to stroke the FTL drive while adding even more coatings to get just that...

    San Francisco, shame on you.

    I agree. Those mothers and fathers that don't want to see their kids in the military are the same hippie/environmentalist/liberals who have blocked road building, logging and anything else they think is evil or excessive. These same Michael Moore loving, Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown praising fools...

    "intelligent" suspension wow

    Car and Driver did an article about the BOSE system awhile back. Nifty pics of a LS400 with the system leaping over a 2x6" laying on end in the road without spilling a drink inside of the car..... It has sensors that read the road ahead, and plan each wheel's movement before the car get's...

    Global Warming is over. (Really, it is. No joke.)

    Welcome to the party of "anti-global warming" people Nick. :) You know Al Gore in his book also advocated the destruction and outlawing of all internal combustion engines? Yep, he said they are polluting and we don't need them. (Yes, even the truckish 7MGTE would be banned and sent to the...

    You're In Stasis 100 Years. What's the First Tech You Look Into?

    Only 100 years? Let's see, clothes would be like the 1960's again, either that or Members Only jackets would be vouge, and the 80's hair rules again. (Mullets galore.) PC's would be museum pieces. I think devices like cell phones will take over that role as new GUI's are developed that...

    San Francisco, shame on you.

    Thanks guys, but really there are days I feel like a fully grown mountain troll.... One comment caught my attention. 80% of California's money going to other states? What? Where and when do I get my portion? LOL I don't think that's accurate, but then again, I've never heard this claim...

    Global Warming is over. (Really, it is. No joke.)

    Hey I just read a report prepared by an "investment group." They were trying to get the insurance industry to revise rates and coverages to handle "rapid climate change" and "more distructive hurricanes" as a result of global warming.. Nice when "investment groups" have press releases that...

    Holy crap,christmas lights

    I think if you built controlls for a living, that would be a good project. A few years ago, some guy did this to his house, and the local minister came down on him so hard, that he never did it again. (Something about the spirit of Christmas, and comercialism, but I think the Minister was...

    San Francisco, shame on you.

    True, but being a troll, I'm really enjoying the banter, some of it's pretty witty and interesting. I started it out as a pox on the SF voters who don't appreciate their freedoms, and who keeps them free, and it morphed into a voting discussion and political bashing of the worst kind...

    Calling all the 1 Piece driveshafters

    I've been running a CF one piece for years. No problems. Had it rebuilt when the thing started leaking. (yes, the front slip yoke has a pressed in cap, this cap is sealed with silicone. It was leaking gear lube out that cap, and causing a reall mess.) So, they found that one of the u-joints...

    Gauging Intrest.... Katskinz Seat Covers

    Actually, I tried the site, but could not get everything to work right. I'd really like a set of these, and the price you note is awesome. Full leather fronts, leather rear seating surfaces, with man made sides would be fine. (Full leather would be better I'd think, but I really don't...
