Fuel for my 05 Tahoe Z-71 (15 mpg when I have to drive it, ouch :( ), odds and ends for my 08 CBR600RR (runs 10 flat and gets 40 mpg :) ), ammo, and the occasional 360 game. I guess it goes without saying that my dsm gobbles up my money as well.
Me personally? I would definately set up a purge system. I was just answering your question about the absolute neccesity of one. Purging the line of vapor will insure you reach the maximum power of your chosen shot in the shortest amount of time. It also aids in the consistency of the power...
O I agree 100%. I will CC when i obtain my permit to do so. I was just stating that our constitution doesn't mean much these days. Its all about translation and interpretation. Also I will confirm that 99% of people will flip their shit if they see someone OC. Hurrrr guns R bAd DuuuRrrrr...
A purge circuit isnt a neccesity, but it will help with consistency on the track. Your basically wanting 100% liquid at the jets. You could old school it and purge through the motor, but im not going to recommend that method to a rookie nitrous user.
Mississippi found a way to violate our constitutional rights by claiming a holster is "concealing" the weapon. They even went as far as saying that fastening it to a clip and hanging it from a belt "concealed" the back side of the weapon. Yes.. In MS you need invisible legs to OC. Sounds...
If you have a pressure guage, then you wont overheat the bottle. Its not "retarded" as you say to use an alternate method of heating the bottle. The size of the bottle is also a factor in using this technique. O and it will definately mess up your pretty bottle sticker as well.And to...
I feel your pain. Im seriously debating converting my spyder to AWD. There is so much information here on tuners about the swap that they make it seem easy. I think I just decided to go for it. Its off to the classifieds...

Thats a nice weapon aovsi. I fired the PX4 Storm sub compact and my XD back to back on the day I purchased it. The Sringfield fit my hand better and allowed for better accuracy. I must say though, that Storm is a great looking weapon.
Its not everyday I get to talk shop with someone who shares two of my hobbies. You seem like a cool guy. Even if you are a revolver fan boy. ( kidding :) )
Lets not confuse the subject at hand (self defense) with competition shooting. Most altercations that involve firearms won't be 50 yard engagements. I'm guessing more around 10 yards. We have presented point and counter-point to the OP. Its up to him to decide. I'm just glad to have a...
Lets not get defensive about the mechanics of two different weapons. I completely agree with your inexperienced shooter theory. In that scenario the revolver would be the better choice. Point, pull, bang. I was simply presenting an objectional viewpoint on auto vs. revolver. The name you...
Eliminating your recirc tube and venting to the atmosphere will allow metered air to escape. Since the maf sensor has already calculated the volume of air entering the system for combustion and how much fuel is required, a temporarily rich condition will occur once your BOV vents to atmosphere...
Im running the unorthadox crank pulley with no balance shaft. I havent noticed any excessive vibration into the 8k range. I can't speak for anything beyond that.
The deforming of the magazine springs is no longer an issue. Modern materials and production technology have eliminated that bothersome hang up. I'll agree with you that the revolver is easier to operate for someone who has little firearm experience; however, I wont agree with your statement...
I may give it another shot tomorrow. We'll see if I can get it to hook and shift any better. I ran across a local with a quaiffe diff for a reasonable price. I'm tempted to scoop it up and throw it in.
So that stuborn 1-2 shift is common for our cars? I literally feel like im about to break a shift fork off when im attempting to make it fall in.Edit: Fixed some HUGE boost leaks on my FMIC piping. They were so bad that I can't believe that my little 16g could actually hold 16psi. I see...
Those look good but I have access to a machine shop and unlimited materials. Im going for fully fabricated solid mounts to replace the junk that came from the factory.
Having the headroom to upgrade to a larger turbo later is a nice feature, but the real reason for those bumpsticks lies elsewhere. I smeared a cam journal on my last head and purchased the current used complete head to replace it. Since my stock intake cam was damaged as well, I went ahead and...
Yes do tell. If so then thats the nail in the coffin on 5 speeds for me. My digging has uncovered that the stock autos will handle up to 400 horses. If you couple reliability with consistancy (never missing a shift), you cant go wrong.
I'm seriously debating going to an auto tranny to avoid these kinds of 5-speed problems. What et would you guys expect from a FWD car trapping 101? I'm only curious because of those atrocious shifts and piss poor launches that really mucked up my time.
The car ran great. My only concern power wise is that i'm not reaching full boost until the upper 4k range. I'm sure I have a boost leak somewhere, but I just haven't had the chance to dig into it yet.
Greetings my FWD brethren. I sent my spyder down the track this past weekend and was greatly disappointed. My butt dyno had told me that this was a low 14 sec car, but it was very wrong. This was my first drag strip pass in a vehicle. I'm used to cutting 1.4 60s and 10 flat passes on my...
Who are you guys using for your dyno runs? Since I can't find anything in my immediate vicinity, I'm asking my fellow dsmers for there favorite dyno locations. My "seat of the pants" dyno needs calibration against an actual machine. :D
