  1. It's a trilogy. I'm sure he'll be back. Did you see Starscream take off into space during the credits? Oh, and did anyone else see the air freshener hanging from BumbleBee's rearview mirror? 'Bee-otch' I bout fell outta my chair laughing at that one. The whole movie was non-stop comedy.
  2. So people that own another make/model of car other than a GTO aren't allowed to go to GTO meets to have a look around? It's so much clearer now......http://smiliesftw.com/x/wtf.gif
  3. They planning on putting a bigger motor in the SRT8 Jeep?
  4. Um....He was in it. The big GMC Kodiak.
  5. Greatest fucking movie of all time. And Megan Fox is soooooooooo fucking hot. Not to mention the Australian chick.
  6. I don't really consider a Z06 a 'high dollar car' but, yes, I do ALL of my own work, minus painting.
  7. There is supposed to be a repellant specifically for black flies. Forgot to mention the bites get infected easily.
  8. Black flies are fuckin NASTY. My father went there hunting carabou (sp?) several years back. Said these black flies will bite you, taking out a good chunk of meat, and then puke in the hole. Nasty nasty bugs.
  9. You should always let the car warm up before romping on it. Cold springs don't like to bend.
  10. I made a thread about this about 6-8 months ago. My mother bought a Chihuahua about a year ago. Well, the thing was broken from the factory and had all kinds of problems. Since then, she's sank about $8,000 into it to make it 'right.' Sure would have been nice to have insurance on the thing. Sheesh.
  11. On a 2-stroke? Let me know how that works out.
  12. I might be wrong as well. Those silver canisters appear to be on some sort of intake. I wouldn't think rubber hoses and worm clamps would be used on an exhaust. I dunno. I'm learning as well. I've always heard of powervalves from back in my dirtbike days, I just never took the time to learn WTF they actually were.
  13. http://i14.tinypic.com/4v516om.jpg Are the ones in the blue squares on the exhaust ports? I'm inclined to say that, if they are, these are probably powervalves. I'm also going to guess that the two on the exhaust expansion chambers are the RAVE valves that Lustalbart mentioned, which appear to look very similar, as he mentioned.
  14. 3 seconds of Google yeilds: "A power valve is just a piece of metal that moves down and covers part of exhaust port making it smaller. Big ports mean big horsepower, but they also mean narrow power band. By making the port smaller, the power valve helps make the power band wider. It does this by keeping more of the fuel mixture in the cylinder, and out of the exhaust pipe, at lower RPM." "The power valve should be closed at Low RPM and Open at High RPM. The Power Valve does this with centrifugal weights (Governor) that over come spring pressure and move the Power Valve Linkage. The linkages usually are spring loaded. This is to close them at low RPM." By this article, logic would tell me that tightening the spring pressure would give you more bottom end power, but less top; and vice-versa.
  15. I vote powervalves. 2-stroke dirtbikes run a very similar looking object on them.
  16. Drives the yellow Cobra and the red fox body.
  17. I heard somewhere that they're already working on a V.2 for the phone. Not sure what that'll include or when it'll be out.
  18. Why only 1340cc? I'd have thought they'd have gone bigger. Not like it won't be ridiculously fast as it is, but still.
