    Jesus christ Why is it people assume my IQ is sub 100? I did this during the summer. I was talking in general. AWD also don't help braking. I was talking in general nothing to do with weather. In bad weather I'm careful.

    Would you like to go out and autocross against me? You in the audi vs me in the wrx? I no the limits of my car and I drive below them. My point was still valid. The human eliment is the same at 25mph as 75mph. You missed the part AGAIN were I said I was the only person on the road. Its all good man. I am serious on the autocross a friendly competition? I'm on all seasons.

    Yes going 75 around the hospital curve is so bad. I'm sure you've never went fast. My point was some cars should do 55 and some are more capable of doing igher rates of speed. Did I say a damn thing about doing it in bad weather I don't fucking think so. Your telling me your audi could not safely take that turn in 75? A bike at 90+ come on. Only time I've done these things is at 3am or so when I worked nights and had to run between the buildings. There was not a single car on 315 each time. I'm sure when you come up to that turn you slow down to 55. Its BugEye Boy now.

    Blah the hospital curve is weak sauce Some of us have cars that can handle taking it at high rates of speed. I won't even discuss how fast I've had the bike through there. Pat you ok you seem on the war path today.
  7. Were they captive born? How held are they? Do they live in same tank?
  8. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080114/ap_on_fe_st/odd_ufo_sightings I was reading that article and the first thing that came to mind when they described the offical explanation was Men in black.
  9. I'm not going to lie, I own a couple home protection pieces. But I think if you really have a issue with a mobster unless they break in to your house the gun does you no good. If you do kill somone of importance there are always more visitors that will wish to "DISCUSS" the situation with you.
  10. No all turbo cars should not be lean. I run my car at a 11.5 threw out most the top end as I found it to be the sweat spot on the trade off between timing boost afr. Compared to a NA car thats fucking rich. NA cars usally run much more lean. If you tuned a turbo car like a NA car and went full boost you would not have a motor very long.
  11. I wish I could run a 12.5 AFR ;(. I was looking at my numbers and WB wise I'm similar cept at 4k I have to be richer as thats a area on the WRX thats prone to knock. I think you've got a Mean and uniquie little setup there and I give you mad props for it. Nate I want to also say your engine knowledge > mine
  12. Thats a very very generic statement Timing + AFR + Boost + temp = what knock Thats all I was saying. I agree 100% lean is mean. BUT a tank of bad gas could be bad.
  13. I'm not an STI . Last dyno 280awhp BEFORE NEW PARTS BTW a properly tuned up/down STI should put you in a world of hurt. Driver Gasket?
  14. As long as I can get Road Runner I would prefer to live away from the city. If I wanna work on my car at night I can.

    Ips Ftw.

    Well I just had my new tranny put in, There was quite a few issues with the shop that we got the tranny from (Out of cali). They shipped the tranny improperly built (No fault of IPS). Once installed it started making horrible noise. IPS contacted FL and got them to rebuild it again at no cost to me They also did not charge me a dime for the reinstall of the tranny. They also built a mock up for a cat back system they are going to offer and gave me one hell of a deal for using my car as a mock up. so Now I've got a sexy sounding XR-1 Borla muffler with a IPS's prototype catback. Brandon also beat any other price I could find on my lightened flywheel. thanks again guys.

    PC question..

    ummm I think its not what there saying. I think its wrong bus speed. celerons almost always run higher mhz with lower buss speed. If you up the bus speed to the proper bus speed for that chip it would solve your problem. celeron 2.2ghz = 400mhz bus Pentium 4 2.6ghz HT = 533mhz bus
