Hmmm...anybody I recognize still around these parts?

I helped install these on a buddy's 3.2CL Type-S a while back. Great coilovers -- I'd recommend them.

For bushings, use a butane torch to heat the arm around the bushing and the bushing usually will either fall out or be easily tapped out with a hammer and a socket

Most of the goodyear/tire village places can/will do it, and are willing to do custom spec'd alignments, too.

Ron,Here's the answer I was given by Ed Norris a while back. When you first see the lights, find the safest place to pull over without driving a long distance. When you pull over, immediately grab your license, registration, and insurance card, and place them on your dashboard. Make sure...

I might be ditching the av6mt and getting another DSM :o

He said at the party it was green beer...obviously didn't get all of it out!i had this thing when i was a kid, like 8% of kids have it

9.99 for the additional line of service, $10/mo for the chaperone service. Has to be a phone, however a cheap chaperone capable phone will run you $19.99 with a 2yr contract usually.

Yep, that would absolutely work. If you look a few messages up, I actually pointed out that this is the one way you'd be able to accomplish this; it would just cost you (minimum) $20/extra on your cell phone bill.

Therein lies the catch 22. Legal precedent says that an officer does not need a search warrant to search a vehicle; all they need is reasonable suspicion. And refusing to let them search your car, based on said legal precedent, gives them enough reasonable suspicion to do such.If it is...

Have I used it? Yes, and I sell it on a daily basis.The network doesn't know where you are. The phone does. The system doesn't realize anything -- your phone sends your GPS coordinates once, downloads mapquest-style instructions, and the software IN THE PHONE tracks where you are. And yes...

VZNavigator only pulls GPS coordinates when you tell it to do so from the handset. After that, it transmits it to the network simply to calculate the route. The network no longer knows or cares where you are after that.Also, Chaperone works a similar way. The network actually sends a...

Sweet, obvious that nobody here works in the industry.This won't work. Why, you may ask?Few reasons. Because the network will not initiate GPS requests -- the handset has to initiate the request. Changing the location setting from e911 only to Location On enables applications on the phone...

My only complaint; it's lower in the back than the front, it looks like. Rear height looks great, bring the front down some though!Oh, and 20% ftw ### :)

You should have said 2g nt fwd trans are weak.Anyway, you're talking about a transmission designed to handle 140hp. 250% more power through a part doesn't make it fragile -- the fact that it lasted that far means it was overengineered.That said, these aren't cars to expect reliability from.

Actually, not only does christina write her own shit, she also writes shit for other people.She wrote most of Kelly Clarkson's songs.I agree that the rest of them are uncreative hacks, though.

No, what they mean is that these are now 8-20 year old cars which never had a stellar reliability rating to begin with, so things break due to age. On top of that, even if you treat your car perfectly, there's no way to know how it was treated before you got it, so now you have a 15 year old...

Any o' you guys live down there?

I'd challenge that.My av6 will run side by side with any pre-revup z, and vettes trounce me by well more than a second.

Oh okay, the factory nav systems that don't have any sort of transmitter, only a dvd and a gps antenna?No, they can't track you via nav or xm.Onstar can be tracked, that's about it

A contract such as that would not hold up in court. Wouldn't be considered reasonable.Do some research on local laws in your area, most states specifically limit how much interest can reasonably and legally be charged. I know maryland, for example, is 19%.

I drive a big family car that runs down stock DSM's with climate control on :x

Slightly OT, but as someone going through a divorce atm, just remember: it's expensive because it's worth it!Back on topic, I have allstate and have never really had a problem with them. I had 1 not at fault accident, and 1 no fault accident(first one, woman ran a stop sign at about double...

Excuse me, it's been too long since I've talked about older cars. Yeah, bias is a big factor also, although tires are arguably still the most important factor.I'm used to these fancy electronic brake force distribution systems now which pretty much take bias out of the equation and adjust it...

Larger brakes will only help prevent brake fade.Total ability to quickly stop is a function of vehicle weight and tires.So your braking distance from any reasonable, legal speed will be unchanged.If you routinely need to pull onto the shoulder to avoid hitting someone, you should...

That's an Exige S, which is the supercharged one.Rare find, and freaking fast.

Oh okay, that explains the difference in power, and the different engine codes(VQ35DE vs VQ35HR).And even the old Z's with the VQ35DE were not identical to the VQ35DE in the g35. The original iteration of the g35 was 268hp vs 285 in the Z, and rev-up bumped the G35 to 285 and Z to 303...

i live in hazzard county.

The G35 is heavier and does not, in fact, share an identical engine.The shortblock is the same, the intake, exhaust, and tuning are not. The Z has more power stock.And they actually get good returns on mods; manifold spacer and intake will give about 15whp alone. True duals usually...

I don't understand how people are calling a car that runs mid 13's bone stock a slow car.

Actually, the 10.2MP is the D40x. Completely different model, if you want to be technical :)I'm torn between the D40x and the Sony Alpha DSLR-A100K. Everything seem perfect with the sony, but it's an A mount, and I've already got a plethora of F mount lenses from the film slr...

Few things you're overlooking here.1) Those guys are running race tires. Not street tires. They don't have fancy things like tread blocks and mushy sidewalls.2) Not long after writing that, DG stepped up to a 285/??/18 setup. There's a reason for the shorter sidewall.3) When it...

Go to PA. They can sell pretty much anything to out-of-state residents.

You win an award for the longest sentence in recorded history!Sucks to hear about that thought, just remember that what goes around comes around, so expect your wife to offer a threesome soon.

Same amount of surface area, actually. 2 pistons now, but they're smaller.Pad defelction is really the benefit here.

Buy a windows mobile device and you'll regret it.Constant freezes and resets required.

To be fair, how many times per day do you think a cop hears that excuse?

Ignore every single person's advice in here for a moment and do the following:CALL A LAWYER AND SEEK LEGAL ADVICE. Nobody here is really qualified to give you good legal advice...what may have worked for them is not necessarily a good way to do things. Most lawyers will give you good advice...

You think tib forums are full of rice? I drove a Honda now.Albeit one with a V6, and 6 gears.

Quick, call Uncle Ben!

Needed something more reliable, and a little more comfortable to drive in. Rollin with one of these badges now...

1) See rule #2 when you go to post. 2) For the record, a bone-stock RSX-S will top the timeslip in your profile.

It's a DD with balls =)Already embarassed an RSX-S with I/H/E.

It's been argued that a quiafe center isn't the greatest for the street, as they have a history of destroying themselves due to some of the design characteristics of the dsm awd system.

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss it; the SRT4 guys are experiencing crankwalk, mostly from the ones running undampened pullies.

Yeah, I've heard that a lot, but the people who say that haven't seen a twin t67 fox body break its 325's loose at 70mph.

Because each dyno needs to be calibrated, and calibration between 2 dynos, even if they are the same brand, is extremely unlikely to be the same.

Different dynos will produce different numbers, so that's not really a valid comparison

Stock for stock, an awd dsm will take down pretty much any lt1-powered car with ease.LS1 is a different story, though.
