jjrock5,Loren Jacobs. That's the guy from the FP site. (i was on the site today, and there's actually a review on there by him - yes, it's a him)

I don't know who it was. Nobody who's currently still in the DSM scene down here. (I'm located near FP)

don't go trying to break the record, that's mine to defeat. Only got another 16hp to go... (332whp/345wtq)As far as I know, the record (that's been recorded via actual dyno) is Dennis Grant at 348/376.Unfortunately, my battery died (lost my tune on V2) and my laptop took a 5hit (so...

see post 2. dallasdsm.orgthere are meets (generally at least monthly) with decent turn-out. Usually it's the same old faces, so we'd love to see more come out.

Correct on the rods/crank/block. Stock rods on 4g64 (most) are also 150mm, just like 4g63. Deck is 6mm taller, and the radius of the 100mm crank is 6mm longer, making everything even.Pistons with pin moved up 6mm to complete the set. Wiseco makes them, and anybody that already makes a 4g64...

TRE has the 10% taller 5th... but I believe they used to have either a 20 or 25% taller one also... If they made it before, they'd probably be willing to make another one... worth a shot if you were really interested.And, as was mentioned there are several places that can get you taller...

I'm thinking "not so much..."Rod Ratio of 1.44 (if they use "stroker pistons" and a 153mm rod)That's worse than a 2.3l stroker (at 1.50)I don't think I'd be comfortable taking that above 7500... if that. But, as stated, it could be cool on the street with a mid-sized turbo that it...

I'm anti-tech like that. A phone is a phone. If it makes/receives calls i'm good. I use a computer as a computer. And a TV as a TV. Why bother with all the scrolling and squinting when you can look at a monitor? Nothing is so important it needs to be read via-email at all hours. If it...

well put.I own it. Still in the wrapper because I haven't felt like depressing myself lately.

I've had Sprint and Verizon- they both suck. I got T-mobile in '03 and have never looked back. Never had an issue with "spotty" service (where the hell do you people live, the bayou??) and their customer service has ALWAYS been excellent. Plus the plan/rate I have is better than pretty much...

that's where I've got mine. Originally because the metal on the car side was all FUBAR'd so it was easier. Now, I've cut out the spare-tire well, and therefor the mounting point all-together. So, drill some new holes, and ziptie it up.Oh, and also on the very few vacuum lines I have...

Not mine, office door closed.Hey, i get my work done, and that's what they pay me for. Not my fault I'm under-utilized...Oh, I am gonna start being used more for writing contracts though! woot!

I addressed the wording in an edit of the most recent post.And I agree... Michael Moore is a FANTASTIC entertainer, but I'd hardly call his "documentaries" informational. At least not without bias and cherry-picking.

The constitutional law that defends freedom of speech. Not all law is "you can't" some is "you absolutely can." The constitution IS law. And federal law at that, which will always supercede state law (the police get their authority from the state) The police, by your own admission and by...

No!, no opinions for you! :D

I disagree with the conspiracy stuff he's saying, however, I think it's a pretty fair generality to say that most cops are conservatives. Same with military. - so I'll let you guess which way I lean. (see, and I still defend this hippy-kid)

I stopped reading when the author said this:Apparently the author needs to look up not only the word "paramount" but the constitution of the U.S. which give "paramount" authority and law, not the police.

And yet you state:Looks like you edited out the part about "just desserts..." don't think I didn't see it. :nono: :shhh: :sneaky:

Gracias. And that's how I've been to court 5 times without a lawyer and won. :thumb: The other ticket was speeding, and I was doing it, so I paid the fine; which was just and objective, punishments defined in law.I hope nobody thinks I agree with this idiot, or what he was doing... but...

And just like mine, believe them outlandish or not, they're correct; You'd owe more to the pimp. :D :thumb:

And yet, the police chief and others in charge of the gathering think the officers' "reasonable measure" were not that.You're the one that said those pranks are relevant, and somehow should be taken into how the cops handled it. If by that you didn't mean they should think him a threat...

Hamming it up for a camara and being a fiend for attention, does not a "threat" make....It was an analogy, not a metaphor. (and a sarcastic one at that, certainly intentionally overblown- to point out/mimic the ridiculousness of the idea that his "character" as determined by his pranks is...

Let me just also say, I would have never done what this kid. I would have just stood there, continuing my speech, let the cops put cuffs on me, and make them carry me out, the whole time continuing speaking, and shouting about how we see what happens when our opinions are ill-liked. Would have...

Unharmed: No. UnINJURED, yes. There's a legal difference. Inflicting pain and causing injury are different, but both serious. Being tased is unpleasant (-ent...?) And we could get into all the fun civil uses of harming (i.e. reputation, public image, etc. by doing it in public)...

Exactly.

Um, as soon as you (as in "one," not YOU directly) say "they were just putting handcuffs on him" like that is always ok or justified, you're implying that cops do no wrong.Bouncers act as agents of the owner. If they do something dumb, the owner is liable. It's the same as any...

I think I've been over this once. Just because they're a cop doesn't make them incapable of wrong doing. I'm sorry, but NOBODY has a right to lay a hand on you for ANY reason, unless a cop, IN THE LINE OF DUTY, and they have just cause. These cops didn't. Putting handcuffs on somebody...

No, a bouncer is working for a PRIVATE individual, and ensuring the patrons are welcome by the owner. Show me where an event organizer asked the cops to remove him....

You still haven't cited any VIOLATION of law for which he was guilty in the first place....I'm pretty sure there's not a "no standing and asking questions law..." Well, maybe there is in California and NY...

You said it right there. Nobody. Not the cops, not him. If they had, they wouldn't have been making up and changing reasonsThey don't need to, but they should at least have a legitimate reason before they start the process. They didn't have that, as is evident by their changing it...

Good luck. I'm an occasional smoker... maybe 2-3times a month. Just for enjoyment. Never got "addicted."Just remember, you're a human, you should be stronger than a plant.... :thumb:

I disagree. I think it's your right to know EXACTLY what it is you're being charged with/reasoning for detainment before ANY actions against you are taken. Until those are made clear, he has no reason to believe it's anything more than an assault. (which cops can do; and do)I also...

And I've said before, why did they feel it necessary to remove him? Because their pride was hurt... not because he was "disturbing the peace":beatentodeath: :beatentodeath: :beatentodeath: :beatentodeath:

I'll disagree there. Kerry and every other liberal are just as bas as Bush and his cohorts. None of them really believe in the rights of the people anymore. It's all just rhetoric to win over the sheeple.

This is the question: "necessary force" for what? To impose their disapproval at his attitude towards them? And somebody argued he "moved towards Kerry"... yeah, he's got his own federal agents that can handle that just fine. If Kerry wanted him to shut up, he would have said something...

Go tell that to the Marines of 1st Tank Bn. living 4 to a room (including Sgts) in barracks that were given the lowest scores (for living conditions) in the Marine Corps.Knowing all that, would you say that life is more enjoyable in the Marines or AF...???And would you say that life is...

I certainly hope I wasn't lumped into the group of people that think it's OK to break the rules... I have a VERY strong belief in punishment for crimes (more than many on this site would comprehend) However, when/where are the law-enforcement held liable for their abuse? Again, this kid being...

I'll leave out my comment about the situation at hand, as it seems there are varying stories of what happened.However, it's a SAD day to see the opinions of some of you in here.Sorry, "disrespecting" an officer is not an arrestable offense. It certainly isn't one that justifies violent...

I'm not trying to play the one-up game dumb-ass.. You're the one that came on "I'm a sergeant...I went to CAX blah blah blah" The point was this: "who cares?" Nobody on here. By the way, since you're obviously mildly illiterate, I didn't get Sgt through a board, I got it the same as you...

You're an idiot. I'm a 4-yr Sgt. buddy. I was put on the meritorious board for it twice before I earned it the hard way. Who said I resent the Corps??? I went to the Ball in Vegas 2yrs AFTER I got out... in my Blue Alphas... yes OBVIOUSLY got a BCD and was a bag... what a moron...Being...

My "We're not the AF" remark was a general one, not specific to his CURRENT situation. It was more of a "Just because the AF may do it, don't expect that liberty in the MC" kinda remark. It's good advice for somebody just going in. Because on a whole, he can be expected to be treated MUCH...

Yeah, the Marines don't get it quite as sweet as everybody else. They will give you BAH for where your spouse lives, but you'll be considered a "geo-bachelor." So, you live in barracks (which isn't that bad in the wing) and you get the money for your wife to live. But don't expect to live in...

Yes, you can replace the bearings with the engine in the car. The crank will not "fall out" as it protrudes out of both "ends" of the engine (through the front cover, and rear main seal) Just don't let it sit like that without the cradle/bearings on supporting it for long. Order the bearings...

http://www.f-body.org/gears/Input These: http://www.vfaq.com/mods/Trannies.htmlAnd be sure your tire measurements are correct.Using the "26" tall slicks" gave 162 @8500, but the "26" in is probably not actual measured running diameter due to inflation and such.My car with...

There are ALWAYS options. Having a defeatist attitude gets nobody anywhere. To be a realist, or cynical, I'll often admit. But never a defeatist. "rather die on my feet than live on my knees..." that whole thing.The solution of which we speak begins with spreading word of how it could...

A bit Ironic isn't it... taken from the SPP website:http://www.spp.gov/pdf/spp_reg_coop_fact_sheet.pdfYeah, they're being REAL transparent aren't they...

Yeah it won't happen, because that super-powerful, law-enforcing democratic congress would stop him, right? Wake up. They can't get their noses out of campaign money fraud long enough to bother with ACTUALLY doing anything to stop the President.And to why you haven't seen any proof...

Because doing so would go against mainstream-media's inherent liberalism/socialistic ideals.No, the rich want cheap labor to make a better profit margin. The average american wants a decent paying job, which will be harder to get with an even larger FLOOD of workers into this country than...

Yes, yes... I like to laugh away as our constitution crumbles too... way to use your brain to evaluate REAL LIFE GOINGS ON. (i love that term)I'm not one claiming all the mason crap, and I'm certainly not one to hate on Bush (in fact I defend MOST of what people seem to hate about him...

Just wait for it. We're already supposed to be the back-bone of the Mexican economy with our jobs, why WOULDN'T we sell out everything else? Look it all up if you think it can't/won't happen. It IS happening. There has already been regulations passed to allow Mexican nationals to receive...
