Yes.

:eek2: :barf: Talk about a rude wake up call... that thing's passing so much dirt I don't even know if it deserves to be called a filter.

Ahh, ok, another mod I was thinking of in the dyno thread. Eli commented that he's got a bunch of ideas on how to get more out of IMA systems, but he's been mum since.

CIA kits?

Sounds like a pretty enthusiastic "ohhh yeeaahhh"... now if you can just tone down the language for us worker bees who have nothing better to do during lunch. This thread isn't marked NWS, after all.

Anybody use these over stock paper filters? As commented in my dyno thread, it's one of the things that I've been considering should initial reports come in favorable, and so far, it's looking like a good acceleration booster with no efficiency penalty.

Sorry, it's an xB your reincarnation has.

Thread necromancy is bad, mmmkay? Mensan, I'll check tomorrow, but I think the Tc is what the guy farting in your old seat drives.

Works for me. I got cut off three times just going from 315 to 71 tonight! Where's my frackin' HERF gun. I swear I'm gonna start nuking cell phones if this doesn't stop.

Parent's neighbor has "PMS" on his Kawasaki. ODOT wouldn't give it to him until he pulled out his license and showed them his initials

Yet another reason that swervers piss me off.

Theories? Anyone?

How about they work on curbing the excessive swerving? Please?? That's a hell of a lot more dangerous than the speed.

If you haven't already, you should be subscribed to the misc@openbsd.org mailing list. This sort of thing crosses fairly often, so checking out the archives (marc.theaimsgroup.net is my favorite) should also turn up stuff. That said, getting spamd(8) running on your box would be a good way to start. Sounds like the devil man is also well versed, so I'll let him take you through it.

Or just switch to DSL if it's available in your area. I've had SBC/Yahoo since I moved here last February, and have not had a single problem with them. Currently pulling about 2mbit down, 384k up. At least at the time I signed up, they gave you the modem+router and a whole crapload of filters.

Talking about burning lean here? IIRC, the Insight actually gets zero tax credit because even though its mpg rating is way up, and CO2 emissions miniscule, the NOx is atrocious.

Aha! Seems the work has already been done, it just took someone with press hookups to find it. So here's the chart: http://hondanews.com/media_storage/GIF/S2_Civic_10.gif (Link to full article) If I'm reading this correctly, the combined torque of electric+gas is just a hair over 120ft-lb up through about 2800rpm, at which point it starts tailing off, probably because the electric motor's controller can't rotate between windings fast enough. The 'Engine only' lines also cross right around 2800rpm, though I need you guys to speculate on whether this is just coincidence, or actually meaningful. Could it be related to the "throttle body fully open at 2650rpm" theory I related earlier? At any rate, since the torque starts dropping off there, and is flat before that, I suspect that means anywhere in the first 2800rpm will be more or less equal in terms of fuel efficiency (so long as granny doesn't cheat and give the treehuggers a push), while anything past that is great for jumping in front of trucks, but otherwise silly (especially when going against someone with a real engine ).

Nate: If only that were the case... Honda's programming tends to leave the rpm a little on the high side in order to encourage recharging of the battery pack. This is more pronounced using cruise control, which is a little annoying. I can usually beat the computer cruise control by using foot cruise control, especially on hills. Eli: I'm also pretty sure there's more to be squeezed out of this engine. If the "early adopters" report good news, I'll be switching the stock paper air filter with a K&N, and the tires have already been raised to 44psi (max sidewall) instead of the OEM 32psi. A couple of folks have been looking into adding a CAI, but the engine compartment is so cramped I don't know where they're going to find the space for the pipe leading to the airbox. Similar problems were reported by folks who looked into changing the cat-back. Oil will also be changed from Honda's break-in to Mobil1 Group2 synth in another 5k miles or so. Honda's 0W20 is apparently only a semi-synthetic, and the M1 is the only other option at this weight right now. It be nice if there were a group 1, but nobody else is making one yet.

Almost certainly not It was more a theoretical question, given that I still haven't been able to think of a way to decouple electric from gasoline without the thing throwing all sorts of malfunction lights. I do know the Hondas *can* run on gasoline only, which is something the Toyotas can't do.

Thread necromancy is bad, mmm'kay?

New question from the noob... Over on the GH boards, we're having a bit of a debate on just how to get the best accelleration profile out of our hybrids without flat-out flooring the thing (which is pretty sad, considering we've only got, at best, 110hp). The tree hugging crowd is all about doing it as slowly as possible, to the point where someone cracked a joke about a granny with a walker asking if they needed a push. The practical crowd (me included) prefers to just get going, but don't really care to just floor the thing, either. One of the folks brought up an interesting point: Why not just find the best rpm/power range, and use that. Seems straightforward enough, but we've got two problems... one, how to remove the effect of the electric motors coupled to our engines, and two, how does one find the engine output with a continuously variable transmission? The sites I've checked out so far all seem to imply that getting a good run depends on having total control over what gear the engine is running in. With a CVT, that's pretty much impossible.

If it's Pentium 4, that's still quite possible since they've got that thermal throttling diode in it. Tom's Hardware did an article a couple years back showing how a P3, P4, and Athlon reacted to losing their heat sinks. Of course, it could just as easily be Windows fscking up again.

Megaman, I've actually got an entire watercooling setup I'm trying to unload, had it in 'Garage Sale' a month ago, here: http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24906 Everything is in perfect working order, I just switched that computer back to air-cooled so I could give it to my sister without her having to deal with an aquarium pump hanging off the side. I've also got a crapload of plastic elbows, and can give you a hand hooking it all up if needed.
