Thanks a ton for the replies- very much appreciate it. This information is helpful for sure. Whats the fuel management for the 420a looking like these days? We still running the FMU's or MSnS? I think Portfueler was around too from Hahn...I have the FMU but I suspect the stock injectors...
Not sure if you remember me but many years ago I finished a project Eclipse and archived it on this site. Long story short- I still have the car, and motor. I've been starting and revving the car once every 2 month for the past 7 years. It stills runs extremely strong but the strut towers...
I'm a day and swing trader and can tell you the prices should follow any house hearing on this. I'll be playing the ethanol stocks here and there but it's specuative so alot of risk present.You can see some rallies in regards to it though already, PEIXD for exmaple went up on the senate...
Yeah I am concerned about the registration thing, but my thinking is that it wouldn't be fair to deny me a claim for not fitting the faulted driver's insurance policies. If mine (Heh- Geico) is okay with it, I shouldn't have to fit every other insruance companies policy, as long as I fit mine...
Wow thanks everyone I appreciate the info and kind words.It's not looking good from what I'm hearing. The rear bumper was a one off Blitz, which is smashed right now- actually held up pretty well.The driver's side quarter panel mount had broken completely off, so the actual bumper is...
Hey guys/gals, first of all I haven't been on here in a while but it's great to see the boards so active, alot of new and also fimiliar users here. Awesome.
I was rear ended today while en route to work. Called insurance companies, did the whole dance. Set up an appointment at the local...
Thanks everyone you gave some awesome advice. especially calling the CEO's office! I like that!I called 3 times. Talked to 3 different supervisors. ALL of them were pompus prude assholes who wouldn't take the time to add up the minutes or even see they double billed me for the same...
Hey guys, AT&T had recently pulled some serious shit on me that turned my bill from $49 to $242. TWICE in two months. These are not correct as I have added these minutes up and the company refuses to change anything, they insist I am wrong.There's nothing I can do, and I'm pissed.I DO...
Hey everyone! Yes this dash is still in progress, it has actually been re-modeled from the HVAC controls; down.I have the door panels pretty much done, and I have the details and fabric selected for the dash. My car will have a new home this winter (garage) so it should be installed...
this is a good thread.I really wish I could share how many times I should or would have been fired for Bank of America. For example, when I was 18 I started working there. I was already training and mentoring new hires within the first few months I started working there. Well, one of them...
I came out from work today to find that someone hit my car and apparently ran. They hit my drivers side rear corner, right on my blitz bumper. Scratched straight to the fiberglas.. It's about 12" wide and 3" tall. Looks like a dark green color rubbed off.THEN, after further inspection...
I used to work at Little Caesars Pizza.Every night the crew would do absolutely nothing, then give me all the orders since I was the new guy. Finally I waited until the general manager was actually in the store and told every last one of the to #### off, that they were all lazy pieces of...
Wow. Where to start man..When I was 10 I had a surgery where I had my tonsils and adnoids removed. I was also suppose to have my deviated septum re constructed.The operation was to take 5 hours.......... it took 14 hours.My nasal passage was so bad, the surgeon said it was the...
Hey everyone I've recntly had time off so I've had time to do some painting. Anyways I've always been good at it and I'm working on a pretty big canvas this time. Thought I'd ask you guys if the painting looks real thus far. It is a work in progress but it's hard for me to judge my own stuff...

Haha, nice to see I'm not the only north eastern guy thawing their car out every morning. Gnochgoon thats some seriously deep snow the drive around on! My front end would be plowing the snow for sure. haha..Hey CS! Long time no talk. I've been swamped with work since August, but I have...
Hey everyone. We recently had an ice storm that froze over everything, so I took some pics. Kind of cool looking with the ice. If only I strapped her down to a dyno like that... all that cold air would give me like 1,000 ponies eh?? :sneaky:figured someone would enjoy.
Yeah I've noticed that too. Palm Springs in Cali is bad, Miami and Tampa are also some of the worst home value areas right now. I'm starting a company with some partners in June or July where basically we buy foreclosed houses and fix them up, then sell them back and Miami is where we are...
Wow, I feel for all of you who lost your job because of our government's... well, we won't go there but you know what I mean.I haven't been to work in a month, and don't need to go back until March 5th or so. Gotta love FMLA. Took a break from there for the first time in almost 5 years...
No problem man. I actually went to Mexico for a 3 week study at the Playa de Mia site. We walked and studied alot of sites off the coast of Mexico, particularly the inner edge closest to the Yucatan. You know what would really trip them out, the birthmark you and most if not all your...
I don't think theres any way I can talk with that guy. I've said what I needed to say so hopefully someone got something out of it. Can't crack every closed mind, I guess.Yeah hopefully by 2012 I'll be able to have my 420a grow wings and fly me to the moon. ROFL Just kidding. You guys...
No shit people are crazy but don't sit here and bullshit us like you haven't noticed a change in people's energuy or actions during a full moon. My g-mom was a preschool teacher for 35 years and could tell when there was going to be a full moon even before it was dark out.Secondly, don't sit...
You know, alot of people here will try to chew me up for this, but I know much much more on this subject then ALOT of members on here, so please feel free to challenge my knowledge on this subject. Don't be ignorant and just post up, "oh I'm so sick of this bullshit" because the fact of the...
Did you guys remove the motor to weld that?
I don't know how to weld and my strut rust is dangerously bad. The local shops say atleast $1,000. Yeah, I'm getting ripped off..
After all the additonal items that came with the head, I still don't think thats a very bad deal. If it were just the cams for $700, then yeah it may be, but for the total package it's a good start.I ran Crane 0014's when I was N/A for about a year. I had a stock motor but then swapped it...
Well, well, well.. . Where to start.Okay, so as you can see I've not had the chance to update or finsih the dash thus far. I've recently been promoted to a pretty stressful position and I'm in the process of starting my own company with some other business partners, along with finishing up...
Not as hard as it looks if you do it(practice) as much as he does. If studying that course and driving that car was all you did for a while it's not hard to imagine. Just a play of traction. Amazing nonetheless. Nice vid find. :thumb:
All of you put it in great perspective. Everyone some how or some way has been effected by this. And sadly enough the main cause of this was the government allowing such shitty handling of MAJOR funds in our economy.I've been working with people who've been managing their client's...
Unreal. Un ####ing real. Half the lenders and market is in a shihole right now but all the CEO's who took the money for this run off in their jets and sell their companies for shit to the dollar, which advertantly ####s all shareholders. Washington Mutual and JP Morgan did the same thing, now...
Not anymore. Even if you put 'positive feedback required', it's still no guarentee because EVERY buyer now is going to have positive feedback since us, the seller, can't leave negative feedback.
Well, I'm in awe at eBay's new policy. I've been burned by it three times nows. You know, the classic, ' My boyfriend was the one who bidded on your item and doesn't want it now. Sorry'. Or, the, ' My account was hacked the day I was your high bidder, so I'm not sending you the money'...
I hope so. You keep hyping your car up but I really don't see whats so special about it. Not to be a dick but it's getting old.When are you going to have it running or atleast engine bay pics (of these uber trick parts installed)or dyno sheets or anything???
Hey guys, I've searched and can't find anything here. I figured I'd start a new thread as some people may need to find OEM leather also, if their interior were to tear or rip or something.Anyways I am upholstering my dash and I can't find OEM leather anywhere. Or the fabric for that...
Thanks guys.As you can tell by the updates, haven't been working on the dash too much lately. 10AM -11PM shifts 5 days a week and full time media courses at a university limits your time just a tiiiny bit.I've moved everything out of the garage, it's about time for upholstery. I was...
Yeah I don't think you are thinking realisitically. Bullett puts years and years of RD and time into his ar to run what it does. A few trick parts isn't going to get you there. Good luck running the 12's n/a.I'm still curious about your q45 set-up on the OBX manifold. Have you got that...
I don't sign my life to anyone for any period of time. It's my life not the government
s.Plus I am not as attracted to $20k as much as others may be. I can make that in months here without even getting off my ass nearly as much. $20-$30k is usually annual salary for most new recruits...
You are going to need fuel management to control those injectors. Otherwise, your car will not idle under stock ECU management.I would recommend either a standalone system, MSnS, or perhaps a secondary fuel set-up working with an SFMU to raise your FP under boost.You can't just...
Yeah you're going to have alot of trouble making room for your downpipe. Not that it matters, but your set-up is ass backwards from the traditional 420-t. Like I said, not that it matters, and it's always great to be innovative and think outside the box, but it might bite you in the rear later...
Let's see, if there are black/white, then blue/white, which two do you think I'm referring to??? They both have white, so why would that need to be clarified if the difference between the two are blue vs. black wires?Either way, I don't recall white wires on the driver's side. Yes, I did...
OK, like I said earlier, and I'm not repeating this again, is that you can't hook it up to the factory harness and have it on all the time, therefore you would need to wire it for operating temperature. Refernce to paragraph two of the original post. Rather then LD criticizing him about why...
I don't know we went from a fan wire up to cooling system. You need to realize that the fan won't be on the entire time if he hooks it up the way I stated earlier. You also need to realize the fan kicks on after a certain run/heat time, so don't assume they're on all the time. On top of that...
Dude that title post makes it seem like you are in dire need or very frusterated. It is very, very simple. If you installed a turbo kit, this should be a breeze.If you mean, 'isn't possible tto do through the factory harness', I'm assuming you mean they clip together. They should, and...
So if it comes with a pigtail at the end will I have to rewire the sensor completely or just unclip the side of the sensor with the pigtail and plug the other side into the block?
