Absolutely congratulations man, I'm happy for you!

Congrats, it looks great.

I agree.

Glad they got him. Put him away as long as possible!!

You'll need to do three things. You'll need to first run a trojan virus cleaner program (I have one, hit me up on AIM if you want it -- it's not too big of a file if you're on dial up -- it's a 30 day trial version, but all you'll need to do is update it, make sure it's setup to scan your ENTIRE system including compressed shit), then you need adaware, update it, run it wipe everything clean. The third thing is you need to open up Internet Explorer, go to Tools-->Manage Add-ons. Once in there you need to disable everything that has nothing to do with the software engine itself -- I have about 20 things disabled and 2-3 things enabled. What happens is while you surf the web, crap gets installed in the background as attachments to IE (amongst other forms of spyware) and they hit you with pop ups constantly, so the add-ons themselves have to be disabled). I also run the Ad-Watch feature of ad aware in the background of my system -- it blocks 90% of my pop ups automatically as well as watches my running processes and registry. Hope that helps man. I've cleaned out several systems including my own with the problems you describe. Hopefully your system isn't so far gone to where you have to format. Good luck.

Nitrous is great bang for the buck for those cars. I ran a regular 100 shot of NX wet on my old 96 GT engine for around 3 years with an occasional 150 shot. If you decide to run the 150, run it with race fuel only and leave the timing at stock. Those 96-98 GT engines are really hard to make fast. The biggest restriction is the lower manifold and the cams are weak as well. My real advice would be to sell it and get a 99+ GT or a 96+ Cobra. Much more mod friendly.

Welcome to the board.

Very sharp looking Fowler. Congrats.

Welcome to the board.

Well I think that's one of the key things there that reduces road rage. They don't try to make you go slow on the freeway (yes, 65mph is slow), and make all the stupid people stay the fuck out your way so you don't get mad while you're driving -- awesome theory. Let's test it in Ohio!! You're still gonna have stupid kids that wanna go 100mph+ but I think for the most part the freeway's tendency to assist with natural selection will weed them out quickly, or speeding tickets.

How do you Athlon 64 boys like your MSI boards? Lots of overclocking options? Good stability?

Welcome to the board.

I have no idea on what all they do. I've only had the one experience with them, and they came very highly recommended from a friend of the family that re-does old cars. I just had a scraped up front bumper and new wing that needed painted and had them do the work -- looks brand new and the paint match was very good. I also liked their shop as well -- very nicely maintained.

Antec 480W True-Power PSU Gigabyte Mainboard - 865PE Chipset Pentium 4 C-Class @ 3.54GHz (watercooled) 1GB Samsung PC3700 DDR (dual channel) Tyan Tachyon Radeon 9800 PRO/128MB (414/740 -- watercooled) Maxtor 120GB 7200RPM EIDE Maxtor 40GB 5400RPM EIDE Digital Research Tech 52/24/52 CD-RW Drive Pretty much sums it up.

3C sucks from what I've been told by numerous people. Rob, give Bob at Kraft's body shop a call -- they did some work for me not too long ago and I was quite pleased.

I have the ECT degree (Electronics & Computer Tech), and I'm finishing up the BTM (Bachelor's in Technical Management). I put my sticker on the rear windshield. I don't recall seeing your car though. I go at night though too, work during the day.

That's fine, you can argue that about size and out put of the motor -- kinda common sense. Probably why the Honda Civics I see at the track never run more than a 55-75 shot. Common sense -- most of the time anyway unless you get a full blown ricer playing with nitrous. smile.gif And I never had forged pistons with nitrous on my old motor w/ 10.5:1 CR -- flat top stockers with the 150 shot. smile.gif Yeah I think it's being blown up a bit. I think you and I are on the same page, just have a different way of calling the sky blue. And yes, I'm finishing up my second degree at DeVry. When I finish it up this year in June I will have gone for just slightly over 4 years. I only drive my car when the weather is good, otherwise I drive a beater -- needless to say I've driven my car about twice in the last 3 weeks. I also park my car out in BFE -- I park the beaters a bit closer. What do you drive? I'll try to keep an eye out for ya.

No, it's lowered because I have 5.2cc dished pistons in there now instead of flat tops. You are correct, nitrous oxide is at approximately -175 degrees F. This is why nitrous likes compression -- it provides its own intercooling. Thank you for defining why nitrous likes compression -- this is probably why the majority of built race cars for nitrous run 11:1+ compression ratios and boosted cars aim for far lower compression ratios (my 9.75:1 CR in my Cobra motor would be considered high by many individuals for a non-intercooled, boosted setup).

nitrous likes compression boost hates compression I had a ~10.5:1 CR motor when I ran a 100/150 shot regularly and had no issues. My boosted motor has ~9.75:1 compression.

You guys think the world will ever be fully covered with water since disasters like this will continue happening?

? Well my phone still receives it though, whether I read it or not, it hits my inbox...I really don't think that's fair that they count messages received against you. I've had people I don't even know text me from other area codes and I knew it was someone typing the wrong # in but I still get blasted for it. Pretty gay.

Well thanks for clearing that up for me all. I'm glad I asked.

Welcome to the board.

Do cell phone companies count you RECEIVING a text message as one of your text messages for each month, or only the ones you yourself SEND? I was under the impression only the ones you SEND out yourself are counted against you? I'm with Verizon if it makes a difference. Thanks very much.

I think Republicant is correct on that. I also agree with dark horse about mussfucker. I just wish there were no commentators altogether. I'd love to just sit back with a good camera crew and watch the game.
