  1. Dual Layer or Single Layer copy?

     

    If you want to compress from dual to single, DVD Shrink does very well. Straight dual-to-dual, there are a number of ripping programs. I prefer AnyDVD but also use DVD Fab when necessary (though I use either of them 99% of the time for Blu-ray as DVD's are pretty much obscolete now).

  2. Seems my loss is your gain. I ordered a set of Brembo blanks for the wife's B7, only to find out the cross reference chart used is 100% wrong. It would cost more to return them than to sell them. :(

     

    These are a pair of brand new, Brembo 25391 rotors.

     

    These are 288mm x 25mm rotors. Should fit B5 and B6 A4, will NOT fit B7 A4 (that requires a 321mm x 30mm). These are very nice looking rotors, and wish I could have used them, as I was in a got to get it done situation today and went with the Napa Ultra Premiums as my only resort.

     

    Here is a link to the specs of the rotors:

    These rotors are brand new. One is still in its box, the other I mounted but quickly realized it wasn't the right diameter and removed it.

     

    Price: $140 for the pair.

  3. Lucé Enoteca in Powell is nice and has an excellent wine selection (I suggest one of their Gewürztraminer bottles, as the couple we have tried have been very good).

     

    Nice atmosphere, and you can easily get out of there both under, on, or over your budget depending on the food and wine you select.

  4. You also need to understand that the LT1 uses a pull style clutch while most clutch setups are push style. Because of this, all LT1's clutches are either a Valeo pressure plate, a modified Valeo, or a knock off as Valeo holds the patent for it. So just because a certain clutch works well for, say an LS1 car, doesn't mean it is worth a damn for the LT1.
  5. I think it's funny all of you idiots complain about waves, yet when you tow a wakeboarder and your tanks are full and your boat throughs off a HUGE ASS WAKE.

     

    How do you think I feel when I want to go 70+ on my ski?

    #1: Your ski isn't allowed at anywhere local that is decent to wakeboard, so it isn't even an issue for you.

     

    #2: Powerturns cause a far bigger wake issue (look at the link, it explains it) over a weighted boat.

    You don't even boat.

     

    I've always looked at it like... if your boats wake cant overpower oncoming waves then move to a different spot.

     

    I immediately turn around for my riders safety, because most of the time its idiots on the water only paying attention to other boats and not people in the water.

    Did you read the link? Powerturns don't get you back to your rider much (if any) faster. Further, it's not about overpower another's wake, it is about causing chop on the water. Other than tubing, all other towable watersports (wakesurfing, skiing, kneeboarding, wakeboarding, wake skating, air-chair, etc.) need calm water to do it appropriately.

  6. Ehh, at least we don't have to drive as far is we want to gamble.

     

    The area they are putting it in has zero growth of anything and has been gradually becoming a shit-hole, so this may actually be something good for the area. Buddy of mine at work lives near there (bought his condo many years ago with it about paid off now), and is hoping it will spike the value in the area for a bit so he can get out.
