  1. I feel like it was marketed more towards the tuners in their 20's to early 30's. who probably don't have money to mod something that new just to keep up with a Civic. Sure it looks cool, but who really buys a car strictly on appearance?
  2. To anyone interested NOT currently on T-mobile... I've been with them since.....2007? maybe earlier. Saw the rollout of HSPA+ in columbus which in 2009-2010 was getting about 9mbps on a normal 3G device. When I upgraded to a 4G HSPA32 phone I was getting about 20mbps in hilliard. Now on LTE I get 30-40mbps in hilliard, which sadly is actually faster than my home WiFi Both in Up/down and even ping which is usually 4-10ms. Coverage may be a little splotchy but in larger cities LTE all the way
  3. Shit, a dragster doesn't weigh that much... There are guys flipping smart cars, I'm sure if we got enough people we could just walk it up onto the dyno lol.
  4. My Mom has 1997? SC... 1.9l DOHC She loves to hate that thing. But all-in-all It's actually not a bad car
  5. Plans changed, I have to work Friday. Exhaust is getting done Friday night-into Saturday morning. I'll still try to make it out just to see some cars run, but if I'm able to get my exhaust leaks fixed and have a spare $50 you can bet your ass I WILL be there with my hoopty on the dyno.
  6. Well, I won't be there... Forgot I have stuff to do with family in the morning.
  7. Wow that is seriously sketchy, like ghetto buy-here-pay-here lots.
  8. Well I'll most definitely be at cars and coffee then. We can compare how....shitty our rides are to everyone else's?
  9. I can talk to my dad, see how he was tuning them on his trans-am
  10. I'd totally be down for the cruise, So long as you guys don't mind having a POS S10 follow you with a leaky exhaust. But I do have a camera and dash mount. Bad part is..... this is the guy I'm putting a V8 in his sonoma.. Thinks he's going to take on his buddies '05 350z
  11. I can can get up.... I may try to get out there, might see if the guy I'm putting an LS in here Sonoma wants to come along, not sure I want to be held responsible for the him though....
  12. Geo with a small TDI. If Port injection or TBI/carb a Turbo is supposed to help with efficiency since it atomizes the fuel better....or something like that. Or just say screw it and buy a Highway scooter, Ninja 250 or other small street bike. Scooters get like 90mpg highway, my old EX250 got like 45mpg with mods but if I recall there was one guy who was getting 65mpg+ with eco modding.

    Don't trust the media, never trust the internet, don't trust anyone... We just need to electrify the ocean http://www.examiner.com/article/radioactive-acceleration-theory-and-observation
  14. It looks..... plastic, like a Saturn.
  15. And let the market be flooded with used AMD R9 280x GPUs
  16. Such vroom very Nascar wow much doge this is why the internet should not be allowed to have money.
  17. No, no no no.... Stay in the Burj al Arab instead! Everything about that place is beautiful
  18. Nope Milodon makes a 4x4 pan for S10's and BRP makes 4x4 mounts.
  19. Getting one RIGHT now, I say get the M7, I've had mine since December... rooted it the first week and don't have a single complaint about the phone other than....even at the lowest volume setting.... it's still quite loud. Camera is good for everyday, battery life is amazing, screen is beautiful and the case....holy crap it feels amazing in your hand. I upgraded from an Amaze 4G which was still a damn good phone. but in comparison.... the M7 is just... so much better. even compared to my dad's Evo 4g LTE And if you don't like sense.... Google play edition. Vanilla android and got updated right after the nexus.... might get the next update...might not.
  20. My friend traded his 199? dodge ram 2500 for a 1996 Sonoma 4x4. it's got a standard 4.3 and 4l60e. not much to look at but it runs & drives decently. But this kid is pretty......ignorant when it comes to cars.. Wanted to do an SRT4 swap in his 4 door neon a few years ago. Then started drooling over my S10 when I put the LS in it..... Well, now he ask me to put an LS in his hoopty, which....compared to my hoopty still looks like a turd and up until today I thought he was just bull shitting like with the SRT4 thing.... but I now have...sitting in my garage a 2003 LR4 http://cdn.overclock.net/b/bf/900x900px-LL-bf2abc58_IMAG0262.jpeg So, I guess I'll be doing a 4x4 LS swap this summer. Trying to stay on a budget, were going to reuse his Transmission and t-case Hopefully reuse the Radiator (if it's HD) and try to use my Stainless Short tubes in it.. I want to keep 4wd on it, but I'm not sure he'll want to spend the extra cash
  21. Ehhh, needs about 100% more whipple seriously though looks like a nice truck, don't know what it is about them but I've always like the step sides over the fleetsides.
  22. All that is left is to correct some stuff I "ghetto" rigged to get it running, replace the transmission, rear-end, install the power doors and then start on the body... gotta replace the driver side rocker and both fenders & inner fender wells as well as the bed, then my dad is going to repaint it black with a Blue pearl in the clear. Goal is to have it "finished" by 2015 so I can start my next project.... 5.3 turbo 4x4 4speed K5 blazer Torque pro data log creates a spreadsheet and it works via OBDII. EDIT-EDIT: New link for pictures videos and....random....crap. http://leameperdue.tumblr.com/tagged/s10
  23. Forgot I had this thread... Recent updates: Radiator sprung a leak where the cores go into the "cold side" tank.. ECP would not answer my calls or emails so a bottle of Liquid aluminum has "patched" the problem until I can afford a new radiator... Still keeps the engine running under 200F Transmission is dying.. getting very high "TCC slip speed" in excess of 1,000rpm someone told me it's probably the stator plate in the Converter, but I figure I'll just replace everything at once and have a spare transmission I can rebuild. And I've also got a vibration when the engine is revved in Park, Neutral or Drive. starts around 2,000-2,500 and gets worse the higher you go. Told it could be the flex plate or torque converter. Planning to get a set of BRP mid-length headers on the 28th to replace my Stainless Shorties.... only reason for getting the mids is it will be easier for me to do the exhaust. Transmission is still planned to be replaced April 11th/12th It's still drivable it's just the fuel mileage has really started to fall off since the transmission is acting up... went from 20mpg city the first week I started driving down to 17 for a while and it's down to 15.4 city right now.... Still gets damn good mileage on the highway though 26.5mpg my last trip to Cleveland.

    Android 4.4.2

    I've been using Ordroid 40.0.1 (4.4.2 w/ Sense 5.5) on my One everything works perfect for me.... But last time I was on CM, it feels like they are trying to cover to many devices. Had it on my Amaze and Inspire.. both had some issues :/ But if you want Vanilla android I hear a lot of good about Paranoid and I personally used Android Revolution HD on my Amaze and my One both builds were nice... have not tried the GPE on my One though
  25. Niiice! Hmm, still got the 4l60e or is that an LT1 Camaro?
