    xbox/netflix

    Hey guys I was wondering if anyone here uses netflix on the Xbox 360? Pros? Cons? Cost? discuss.
  2. The current leader is the RPM 505. While work, volk, and SSR all make great wheels these are much cheaper. for the 3G's I saved I'll buy performance mods. http://www.performanceplustire.com/php/view.image.php/?src=/imagesProducts3/2631.jpg
  3. http://www.rbwheels.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=25_27_29&products_id=1425 Nice, there is a good link to some BBS at a great price, too bad the lip is not 'gangster' enough.
  4. Sorry bout your dog man. We had a dog almost a decade ago and we haven't been able to get another one. At least she went out happy. I have to say this though....you should photoshop that picture with the shorts!
  5. Hold the menu button down for a few seconds, I think its the top of the scroll wheel. So glad I upgraded to a zune...
  6. Hey guys next mod for the FC is wheels but I can't decide which ones to get (I'm sure you all have been there). 18x8 Front and 18x9 Rear Right now the current leader is the staggered mesh wheels with some nice lips. I like the look AND the stock FC runs a mesh wheel on the 91 and verts. So it still has a 'stockish' look. Primarily looking at a silver wheel, but I would consider black mesh with silver lip (kind of played out though ) http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/RX-7/RX7%20Wheel%20decisions/IMG_1727.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/RX-7/RX7%20Wheel%20decisions/IMG_6353.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/RX-7/RX7%20Wheel%20decisions/DSC02913.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/RX-7/RX7%20Wheel%20decisions/DSC00273.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/RX-7/RX7%20Wheel%20decisions/56798613xp2.jpg Next I am looking at a wheel 'similar' to the one I have now, which is a split spoke design. http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/RX-7/RX7%20Wheel%20decisions/rx7pics069-2.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/RX-7/RX7%20Wheel%20decisions/rx7pics084-2.jpg Last choice right now is a Bronze no lip wheel, this one is a Work Kai. http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/RX-7/RX7%20Wheel%20decisions/img1692hz8.jpg
  7. VWs suck, a lot. I spent my evening driving around the state of Indiana. My girl went to Ikea in Cinci with her sister and niece. Near the Indiana border the Jetta developed flashing lights and a misfire.
  8. I have a 32 gallon Husky with the 5 hp oil less motor. Its loud. But the nice thing is that its on wheels. If I need to take it to a friends house to work on something...I can. If I need to move it anywhere its no problem at all. Also, it was cheap. I got it a homedepot for....$199 I think with the hose, impact wrench, air ratchet, die grinder, and other stuff.
  9. Yeah I still work at Cummins. If I remember right 18psi is the threshold. If you could lower it to 10-15psi for the injection pump inlet pressure I think that would be best. The main things with these pumps is, like you said, a good lift pump (not failing). Theoretically, as long as the inlet pressure to the VP44 does not go into vacuum you should be good. Also, like he said, if you have a VP44 pump that is running strong; don't change it!
  10. I would be surprised if that is ACTUALLY 500 ppm sulfur fuel, it would be against EPA regulations. Off-road and on road fuel is all the same. The only difference is that the offroad fuel is not taxed, it is tinted with red die so that law enforcement can tell who is trying to beat the system by using non taxed fuel for on highway applications.
  11. I have a 23,000 BTU kerosene convection heater. ($100 @ tractor supply). What I like about it, is that it heats the garage PLENTY and doe not require plugging into the outlet like the torpedo heaters. The reason being that if my power goes out I can use this heater for a little while. Even though its kerosene, it is safe to use indoors, just as a safety measure I have a carbon monoxide alarm too.
  12. While lubrication with the ULSD fuel is a concern, you hit the important stuff right on the head. Everyone and their mom knows that VP44s are sensitive to inlet restriction. Failed lift pumps = way too much restriction! The main thing I wanted to say though is that 18 psi at idle is pretty high for VP44's, any higher and I've heard that the pressure actually locks the pump....just an FYI.
  13. Jesse, read any consumer report and Garmin >* I have a garmin 650 and I really like it right now they have the garmin 750 for sale at sams club for $198.76. http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?dest=5&item=377706
  14. I'd be interested in the write up.
  15. I am running Microtech, and so far I am pretty pleased with it. I just got my car broken in last month so I am waiting till spring to dial it in.
  16. I'm surprised the guy sitting next to him didn't do anything! just sat there.
  17. Can't find pics of the original 'snowflake' But we went to a party on Saturday and stopped by good will ended up finding some good cheesy stuff. - I found a full white linen suit with a blue sweatshirt with two snowmen and it even has snowflakes around the neck....totally quality. - The other guy the sweater says "Mothers make holiday's beary special" LOL http://lh5.ggpht.com/_5s_76LNDzsc/SUVZhIWn-lI/AAAAAAAAJ6A/e13rXJGTFTk/s512/CIMG0767.JPG
  18. Fire UAW workers and hire the unemployed. Dissolve the union. All you need a is a warm body to turn a wrench.

    RX-7 TurboII

    He's right. I looked into the swap when I was pissed at my car. Its not as cheap as you think, if you do it right.
  20. Great price. If you part out, I would be interested in the oil cooler lines.
  21. 14% of salary goes into 401k. currently only 1% of salary is going into company stock (I plan to up that in the near future). Company pension would be a bonus if it is still around when I get there!
  22. actually if we are talking about firing surface...... it would be 8 circles are better than 6 rectangles.....
  23. I think it will be Florida vs Texas for the title game (or Oklahoma, but I think Texas will pull through). Moreover, I think Florida will win the title game, as much as I hate to admit it. I just hope Tebow doesn't get the Heisman, grr.
  24. As much as I hate to say it.....Texas.
  25. I'm so tired of the damn OU band and fight song after that game.
