  1. Ya I just went in to the sprint store after work today and upgraded to the htc evo. The guy explained that i should toggle off the 4g connection if I'm not in a 4g area to save battery life. I also promised to give him a great review when customer service calls to see how my visit was in exchange for a spare battery that was just laying on the counter. That should help with battery life!
  2. Debating on a new phone myself. I just got back from looking at phones and the one thing I noticed from reading CNet reviews and talking to the sales guy is battery life is greatly reduced on a 4G phone/network. Something else to consider if you're waiting for that new iphone or whatever.
  3. 2 minutes of video and no shot of the fat man, what gives? What kind of news report is that?
  4. Sounds like a good plan. I could stand to lose a few pounds or I'm gonna have to redo my suspension setup this year for the track, lol.
  5. You could totally save yourself and just post up lots of hot chicks on and or near bikes but no...you just keep on bein so serious.
  6. Can't wait, gotta go get mine done soon. I'll be getting all 4 out also, only 1 is impacted but it is pretty bad. The tooth is actually growing at about a 90 degree angle from normal. I'm putting it off till right after the first track day in April. It would suck to have to buy a bigger helmet to fit my squirrel cheeks in.
  7. Random question and a free bump...do you happen to still have the stock exhaust? If you do I'd like to buy it! Hacked up gsxr exhausts make great custom side exit exhausts.
  8. Looks good, very clean and nice upgrades.
  9. I welded it myself...of course it'll pass tech!
  10. Kid tested? I hope for your sake not.
  11. It's not the oem plastic. It's some cheap fiberglass stuff for the track so shouldn't be any problems.
  12. Didn't get to work on it right away but pics are up in the 1st post. All finished!
  13. Hi, I'm working on safety wiring my bike. Can I borrow your fancy jig?
  14. Actually this is on my track only bike. It is about an inch below the "dogbone" and when the shock compresses the dogbone actually goes up, so no problems there. Ground clearance shouldn't be an issue either. The plastic goes about 2-3" below, and the tip of the muffler sticks out just past the plastic. The footpeg will scrape long before the exhaust ever does. I plan on cutting the bodywork tonight and putting it all back together so I'll take pics.
  15. I don't know why I even bother browsing the "pics n vids" section at work. Websense owns me.
  16. It's just a little deeper, but basically thats it!
  17. And also in your mazda miata. It can be done though, you must first sell your soul to the devil.
  18. Exactly, and I don't have anything remotely close to a good camera with a good mic.
  19. Lol the guy in the car just bolted too.
  20. How to build a cheap side exit exhaust: 1. Get a stock GSXR muffler someone discarded in favor of an expensive slip on. Hack off the unwanted cat/baffles. 2. Get rid of your heavy stock muffler, midpipe, and cut off cat, and exup valve. 3. Cut, grind, hammer and weld. 4. Install your new wicked awesome exhaust. Thats right, wicked awesome! The bike just looks sexy with it, and at least if I'm not going fast around the track I'm going to sound like I am! Before looked something like this: After: Installed: Just finished the install tonight. I'm gonna have to trim off a little from the bellypan yet so the track plastics will fit around and I'll get the finished pics up then. Got the plastics trimmed. Looks great and I took it for a quick stroll around the block today and it sounds just like I hoped it would! I couldn't get the full effect in the garage, it just echoed too much. With the plastics on: A close up: Plenty of ground clearance: This whole project cost me $38. $30 for the gsxr muffler and $8 for a cable to tune the bike. The software I'm using is TuneECU and its a free-ware for Triumphs and a few other euro bikes. I have a map that accounts for the removed cat and exup valve, and the side exit exhaust. The guy I got it from netted an extra 7 peak hp and a few ft/lbs torque across the board on the dyno with a similar setup. The biggest benefit is weight savings. I shaved 22 lbs of weight vs stock, mostly from up high. (undertail exhaust)
  21. I lol'd. Someone else has to just try it and see how it works!
  22. Classic "world's dumbest criminals" story.
  23. I hear ya...I did the same thing this weekend. Now finally after spring is here I can park in my garage. That would've been nice to do in the winter.
  24. Oohhh...there's a rainbow tent!!!!
  25. That was awesome, complete bomb. I hate jersey shore, never watched an episode and hope I never have to. I hate people that are "famous" for doing absolutely nothing but being pure douche bags.
