TURBOED

Umm yeah, that car was so sick, I blame it for my two DNF's and coning my other three runs. I couldn't stop thinking about it.

Looks like I'll have a certain 16 year old governor's cup champion codriving with me this weekend. I guess I'll find out real fast if my car is holding me back, or if I'm holding it back. I'm thinking it's the latter :doh:

Holy shit. I heard that on the radio this morning, but they didn't mention it was a girl that the mom messed around with. Awesome.

I was going to suggest that also, but was too lazy to make the post, haha. At Purdue we also had a pretty large School of Technology. Off the top of my head, they offered mechanical, computer and electrical engineering technology. Also very good degrees to have, and yeah, generally a lot more hands on.

I'm bored at work, so here it is... Current setup: - cheapie threaded perches with 500/400 7" springs - koni adjustables - racing beat header - custom catback with supertrapp muffler - racing beat tubular front sway bar - racing beat intake - Corbeau Clubman seats - Unorthodox Racing underdrive pulley - Hawk HP+ front/HPS rear brake pads - 16x7 rota slipstreams w/205/40 azenis 615 tires Winter Changes: - Koni race valving for front shocks - 6" 700lb springs on front - Koni threaded shock perches - 1999+ shock tophats for more suspension travel - 15x7.5 6UL wheels w/either Bridgestone RE01R, Toyo R1R or Kumho XS tires (whichever is proven fastest for sts/sts2 cars) - maintenance on my poor 166k mile car (rear wheel bearings, tranny and diff fluid, motor mounts)

I'll be there. This will most likely be the miata's last event of the season... then it's time to park it for the winter and tear apart the suspension.

Model number for the sub?

I have an M.E. degree from Purdue ('06). When people say you need to be good at math, it is not a joke. You know how all through life, you take math classes, and everyone (including parents) says "this is stupid, I'll never use this again ever?" Well, that couldn't be more false in this case. I spent my first two years taking math classes (three calc classes, two differential equations, probably one or two more I don't remember). Then, you spend two more years solving the world's problems with diff eq, haha. Seriously, you basically learn how to take any mechanical/thermal/etc system, and model it/solve it (making assumptions) using differential equations. The other hard part about engineering, compared to any other major, is that NOTHING is plug and play. If you take an econ class, or a stat class, or something similar, they give you all your equations, and you just figure out which one to use, and what goes where. With most questions in an engineering class, they give you the basic theories and equations, and you have to figure out how to apply them. You could use the same equation 10 different times in 10 different ways. It's kind of hard to explain exactly what I mean with this, but believe me when I say it is probably a totally different type of thinking than any other class you have taken. With that said, if you can get through it, do it. Any college degree is priceless, and I think the problem solving skills you learn in engineering are far and above any other discipline. Throw an MBA on top of that engineering degree, and you are a baller management candidate, since you have a technical background. Anyway, just my $.02. I'll stop my rambling now...

Heh, yeah I always figured the henderson location was shit compared to the other locations, but I live literally 2 minutes away from it, so it's hard not to just go there. Let me know sometime if you are headed up there and want to beat the little blue ball around. Is it hard at all to get a court there?

Really? I didn't know they had a court there. I am a member, but have only been to the one on henderson. I played tennis competitively from about age 7 to 18... so I'm pretty handy with a racket, haha. I've played racquetball maybe 5-10 times, so I lack strategy, but have most of the skill from playing so much tennis. I could possibly be down for a game sometime if you want...

Edit, nevermind.

x100,000,000 on monoprice.com. When talking about a digital signal, size of cable does not matter. All you pay for when you buy that big thick piece of trash from best buy is a whole lot of rubber surround. Poke around avsforum.com, and see what all the true audiophiles on there use... it's monoprice.

If you're talking about the green FD that autocrosses, it sounds like a v8 because it is one

He rode in mine once, so he does fit (my racing seats don't exactly help matters), but I think driving it would be really hard. Mostly because his field of vision is directly at the top of the windshield.

Yeah, I'd definitely test drive both, assuming one of you deadbeats out there buys my current german baller-mobile

If you shrink 3"-5", you could co-drive my girly-mobile I'll be there both days, hopefully I can at least get into the 32 on sunday. Usually my fastest run is my last run or two, so I need to change that up a little bit...

Fresh oil change and new front brake pads... bump

Sweet, this is the first wootoff I have seen on sellout.woot. WOOT! Oh, and shipping is always $5 from woot, doesn't matter what you buy.

You download the episode using a bit torrent... all finalgear.com does is redirect you to the torrent on mininova.org.

up again...

Tough, technical course today... and I failed at being technical. I was very unhappy with the way I drove, but thanks to the lack of a yellow crx, I won my class. Can't wait for the governor's cup

You could always buy my... uhhh... audi: http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54010

Bump, I guess no one wants me to buy a new car.

2 seaters go to SM2 Ed, where have you been all year?
