VERY VERY third world. The banks are all guarded by police with automatic shotguns. Its a very cool experiance, not somewhere I would want to spend more than one day in. I was in belize city, and then took a tour into the center of the country. It's somewhere that I wouldn't feel safe walking around by myself at all, and I lived on campus.

I opened-up a yogurt, underneath the lid it said, "Please try again." because they were having a contest that I was unaware of. I thought maybe I opened the yogurt wrong. ...Or maybe Yoplait was trying to inspire me... "Come on Mark, don't give up!" An inspirational message from your friends at Yoplait, fruit on the bottom, hope on top.

"Colts got a four banger, that shit cant do 180mph with $8,000 dollars in it, let alone $3,000 invested. Yeah it trapped at 137, at the top of fourth gear on the four speed tranny. Good luck with that one Colt..." it's actually a 5 speed tranny, he trapped 137 in fourth gear and I think I personally witnessed him trap 139 mph but that was back when he was babying his trannies. Brent Rau's car is a 4 banger also, and it trapped 19x. Engine size doesn't have shit to do with it. "Slowz06 would definitely, definitely destroy you, and I've got 50 bucks on this race " I'd see your 50 bucks on that but unfortunately I don't care enough to meet up with someone to exchange cash. I am not a coltboostin nutswinger in the least bit, but i've seen the car perform in person and I have much reason to believe that this car will rape any run of the mill z06 that there is.

that's the intense car... on their website theres video of it going 10.3 or something that I took.

they owe me 90 bucks... I bought a mitsu metal hg from them and accidentally put two in the box for how many you want. I then emailed them and told them that I only needed one and to only charge me for one. Well they shipped it and I received one hg, they charged me for two, and they haven't even returned any of my emails or calls.

94 awd talon- new clutch in january, took car to trails the first weekend they opened for some pump gas tranny test runs- ran consistent 13.0's on 14 psi pump gas and a shit tune, on the way to the subaru/mitsu showdown at norwalk my cooling system decided to die (bad rad cap) warped the head, killed the piston rings. Decided to start completely new, sold the 16g setup and decided to build a completely new engine. Should be runnign spring 06 bought 90 eclipse gs- just an amazing beater... I replaced a tire on it bought 98 camry = a less embarassing beater
-
I should have my car together by May and a "test and tune" day would rock.

91 mitsubishi eclipse 5 spd, lots of miles, and ugly as sin but I would trust my life with it. I've let it sit for up to 2 months at a time and it fired right up and drove off perfect every time. My eventual plans were to make it into some sort of off road club rally type thing but I have my hands full with the talon. $500

Styrafoam penuts that disolve in water, I want a block of that stuff
turbomark replied to Science Abuse's topic in Dumpster
lost core injection molding... most carbon fiber, as you know, is thermoset, meaning it is baked in an oven at high temperatures. One way that some companies make things is that they use an aluminum core, then wrap the carbon fiber aroudn it. Then when they bake it the aluminum melts out of the core leaving a hollow center. This is called lost core molding. If you are trying to make anything with any real strength that will do it, however the styrofoam peanut material doesn't have enough strength to actually mold anything over as far as I know. In reality I would mould around a light wood (balsa, etc.) and then when you bake the final product the wood will burn out of the center of the object much like when making pottery. -
Every true dsmer has at least 2 of them too... one to have in the car, one spare when the first one blows up

I should still have it.

OU has great trails all around it.

I have a momo shiftknob... leather and stainless. make an offer.

I believe they're the reference series. Not the highest end but they're still pretty amazing.

Thanks man... the clearcoat on the hood is coming off... you cant really see it in that pic. That's really one of the only things thats wrong with it cosmetically.
-
No rust, a couple dents... mostly small. Clearcoat is coming off in one section of the hood. Other than that its in real good condition. The tranny and clutch work... however there is no tranny on the car right now because I'm waiting on my new clutch to be shipped. As soon as I get it back on the car it'll be driveable. The extra tranny is not working, however john shepard said that for 4-500 bucks he could take a lot of the components out of the race tranny and incorporate them into the galant vr4 tranny, to make a sort of hybrid tranny.

Its a 1994 talon tsi awd, 140,000 on the chassis, much newer engine. Best timeslip while i've had the car is a 12.000@ 115.2. With a properly functioning clutch setup and tranny you could easily be in the 11's. Both clutch and tires are brand new. I'd like to get somewhere around 5500 for the car as is. 90 big rods J.E. pistons balance shafts out fully blueprinted 6 bolt block buschur stage 2 head ported and polished 1mm oversized titanium valves hks valve springs hks cams galant vr4 tranny on car extra john shepard built tranny with welded center diff (third gear doesn't work) ported 2g exhaust mani tubular o2 big 16g ported clipped 10 degrees rc 550 injectors supra fuel pump Dsmchips stage 3 chip Apex-i super afc 2 Turboxs mbc fluidyne radiator 17" enkei rpm-2 wheels with ecsta supra 712's momo leather steering wheel and shift nob custom front mount ic with 2.5" piping 3" turbo back exhaust crushed 1g bov big brakes with powerslot rotors in front drilled rotors in rear eibach sportline lowering springs kyb agx adjustable shocks and struts Ingals adjustable rear camber links fuel pump relay rewire south bend dxd 6 puck dual friction clutch fidanza aluminum flywheel new slave and master cylinder (1 extra of each too) all emisions removed egt, boost, and air to fuel gauges

Those are all auto's right? I'd worry about blowing that up first before your engine.
