    Gran Turismo 4 Challenge

    yeah, definitely manual ;) I tried auto on the drag and that was a total buzzkill. and i won't use auto on the courses because i have to be able to hold boost. i haven't raced auto in a long time and i didn't want to bother trying it because i'm almost certain my laptimes will suffer...

    Gran Turismo 4 Challenge

    go balls-to-the wall over the zero-gravity hill. :) dont jump it, but go as fast as possible and crank the downforce. do you use super soft tires? gosh i hope so or i'm in for a run for my money. R1 is the sucker-boost. Jeff - holy poop! i didnt even want to consider doing the long-long...

    fuel or something

    well couldn't his problem be really simple? I mean he didn't describe what the car does when he tries to start it... a "problem starting [his] car" could be anything from the alarm system killing it, to a bad fuse, to a broken wire.... shouldn't we get a more through description first?

    Chrome wheels

    ok....what about oven cleaner? In the R/C world it's what people have used to remove chrome from plastic rims...and i think it would probably work on any chrome. Just as long as it won't damage the rim underneath and i would do this with the tire off the rim so you dont risk damaging the...

    FM Attenna amplifier!

    I have a booster. i might unplug the antenna on the way to school and see how the reception is. (my dash is out and i have no radio brackets...stereo slides out :P ) but like posted before it probably won't work. my antenna is noisy as all get out as well! any tips to lube it up properly...

    Lights dim when i hit the brakes.

    did you even pull the fuses inside the car in the kick panel? just thought with all those fuses so close to the battery you might have forgotten the rest... I have this slight dimming when i change the voltage needed from the electronics, but yes it's usually coming home at night when i apply...

    Milo's Booster Seat...

    looks like he used that to properly cure the wax in that position without warping or anything. nice work! :) what metal will you use? aluminum? My dad is a sculptor I bet if i needed to do this i could! well...not easily or nicely but with practice, maybe!

    101MM Stroke 7MGE

    thats interesting...lol. what goes in the deck plate though? i mean, those aren't cylinder walls because there is no water jacket, soo...uh. thats weird. maybe a set of sleeves that goes down in the welded-on deckplate? more views would help but i dont want to get too off-topic.

    i forgot there was such a thing as dial-up... it's like payphones. when you are forced to use one...you're like... WTF is this shit? They're both obsolete, but still expensive for their relative crappyness, and overall getting more and more difficult to find.. i had to use a payphone last...
