I love it when FOX News have 2 sexy, smart women showing a ton of leg. Kristen Haglund is gorgeous

I wouldn't cross them that high. If I had to I might stretch them to 2K only if they were on axis, but in a door install I would have to stick with 1.8

http://www.diysoundgroup.com/featured-for-mg04a00409/anarchy.html WTF? Seriously? Did they buy the design from Exodus? Yeah Exodus was closing up and I think that someone jumped in and bought them. I THINK From the site... "As we all know from the website, DIY Cable-Exodus is (sadly) closing down. The 6.5" Anarchy woofer that Kevin designed not only works as a woofer or midwoofer, but also as a subwoofer with it's massive 25mm peak-peak xmax. There are quite a few speaker, subwoofer, and tapped horn designs that revolve around the Anarchy and many people were hoping it wouldn't go away. I'm happy to say that Kevin has agreed to let me keep this little beast in production at the same manufacturer, keeping the same specs, using the same materials as before. The Anarchy was originally produced as an 8 Ohm woofer. But there were many requests for a 4 Ohm version that would allow for more speaker design options and be more car audio friendly. The manufacturer agreed to allow for a split order so the DIY Community can have access to both models. This will require a fairly significant number to be purchased, so I've set up a preorder for anyone that would like to help out and be part of this. When these arrive, there will be quite a few new speaker designs and kits made up. Future designs will include 2, 2.5, and 3 way speakers, small sealed and ported subwoofers, and the highly requested tapped horn. Basically, you'll have many designs to work with. If you're not 100% sure if you'll need the 4 ohm or 8 ohm model, you can select 'undecided' so you can pick the correct one for your needs once they become available." Sweet. Many thanks!

I want!!! Is that Nurburgring? Yes sir. Stunning car, supposedly did a 6:47. I would love to see that. That is a record for street legal if that is the case. IMO that car is the most stunning vehicle I have ever seen. I always loved the F1, it has always been my favorite car of all time... but I think the P1 takes the cake. The P1 reaches 186mph a full 5.5 seconds quicker than the F1, and it is so refined comparatively. The F1 was a no frills race car. It is still the fastest production naturally aspirated car 20 years after it was developed. The P1 just oozes sex though. It is all about class and power.

Olean/ friendship. J Seriously? I thought you were from Buffalo. My grandparents had 100 acres in Phillips Creek near Almond on North Road near Belmont. Do you know Palmer's pond? I spent my entire summer vacation there every year, and most weekends and holidays during the school year. I grew up down there hunting woodcock, ruffed grouse, pheasant, woodchuck, and obviously deer... Yes I do. Spent many a drunken evenings, hikes, and such out that way. As you know 98% of people you meet do not know that area worth a damn, so Buffalo makes it easier. Plus most of my family is from Kenmore/Tonawanda. J Cool! https://maps.google.com/maps?oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&q=north+road+almond+ny&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x89d18bad2741028f:0x8965e9f106862ab1,N+Rd,+Almond,+NY+14804&gl=us&ei=x4GiUqDVKoy3kAffpYC4Aw&ved=0CC4Q8gEwAA that was their property. It's western edge was the North Road itself. The unnamed road just south of ponderosa road was their driveway, and the north end of their property. It continued back close to the creek that leads straight to the east from the driveway. The south end of their property was the road next to the large field there. I used to sit at the top corner of that field and pick off woodchuck with my 22-250. Their big house was right at the pond on the property. If you follow the creek back you will see an opening. That was an old cabin they had found on the property when they bought it. They "fixed it up" and used it for years when they visited. We heated the cabin and cooked on a truly old school wood stove. It had the pull out plates on top and you dropped coils into the opening to cook. I remember when they just had an outhouse before they added a small bathroom to the side. They built the big house out front later and retired there. That is really close to the stove used to heat the cabin and cook on. Those were the best times in my life. Good memories.

The tweeters you selected make no sense. Their design goals and installation requirements are on completely different ends of the spectrum.

Buy raw fish. Cut it up. Serve...

Nothing comfortable for walking will be warm at a Bills game.Figures. Any decent compromise you can suggest? I know me, i can get by with a pair of thick socks and my old combat boots just fine, but her I worry about.J Something ugg like. Those smart wool socks are awesome. I can link stuff when I'm home and not on my cellphone. Smartwools rock. I like their technical socks for hiking and wear their basic blacks all the time.

Mainly the smells and the texture. That 'fishy' smell or the smell of tuna turnes my stomach a bit and kills any interest in it. I have had fried haddock, large mouth bass and cod in the past and that with a shit ton of lemon and a beer batter is ok at best. J Grilled swordfish?

Ducks, or Duck boots. I used to wear them hunting in the southern tier winters, and you know how nasty that is. Not the prettiest, but warm and dry.

Year, 4wd/2wd and motor? I'll give you Alldata, Motor, and Mitchel book times.

Don't feel bad, bro... I love seafood but hate sushi.

2010 came with an L9H. Some are boosting with the VVT, no idea on the deactivation. Would prefer if neither existed. I don't pay for my gas so there is only a negative and no positive in having them. Have no idea what that means for the ECU though. Seth said they used a phaser, so that would need to locked in place or removed and locked, so look for something of that nature.Since you know who the tuner is, you should be able to call them, provide a VIN, and get all the tuning information. FWIW most phasers use a lock pin to prevent phaser slap, or chain damage in the event of failure... and to reduce excessive emissions obviously. Most manufacturers disengage this pin with oil pressure by opening a galley with the solenoid at the same time as the phasing of the cam. Some work backwards of this, though. I think GM locks the cam retarded and disengages the pin and opens the phaser when cam advance is requested. I have seen the 6 liter motor with the cam phasers lose oil pressure, and watching the cam timing PID would indicate the cam being locked retarded naturally. So are you saying a tuner would just hard pin this then? Possibly. I would assume the signal is just deleted, though.

Not that I was aware of, I did a lot of research before buying. It's funny really, all I did was 2 step colder plugs to spray that much. I have pics I will post when I get home. The viper motor is just a big pushrod motor that is pretty bulletproof. Stock the AF ratio was 10 flat at WOT, on a 125 shot it was still low 12's. They are so conservative10 flat AF is stunningly rich. So much so that it should melt cats down inside a few weeks. optimum efficiency is 14.7, period. Not at WOT it isnt. Yes at idle the A/F will fluctuate up around mid high 14's. But under full load that would be WAY lean and damage the motor. Most vehicles will idle lean up in the 14's, no need for fuel with no load.On a Naurally aspirated motor 13.0 at WOT is Ideal. In a Turbo or SC car then you want to see no higher than say 11.7-11.9 or maybe touch 12. If you are going to put "period" at the end of the sentence at least give correct info so a newb doesnt listen. If you tell a tuner to make your AF ratio 14.7 you WILL be replacing the motor when massive detonation occurs!!! here is my old all motor 347 Mustang dyno with a damn near perfect tune here is a breakdown of it, notice the A/F stays between 13.2-12.8 I missed WOT, but as someone who spent several years tuning boosted cars I would still venture 10 to be rich. We found better performance without any real short term reliability issues at 12 and better. Of course, most of our tunes were on straight track cars, not street cars looking for long term reliability. Turboed cars like to run on the lean side. Our cars would run a season or 2 and be torn down and gone through. Failures were extremely rare. My GN ran roughly 12.5 on the street at 18 pounds all day long (I did shoot ethanol). At the track it was fattened up a tad and was turned up to 24 pounds. I went through trannys like crazy but never had a motor failure. Seth, what are your thoughts on water/meth injection? I think I asked before, my only concern is water vapors contributing to increased cylinder pressure. It's probably moot point though. Depends on the application. The water will separate into hydrogen and oxygen. Oxygen is a requirement for combustion . The methanol also adds to the benefit. It burns slower, and quite completely in a combustion chamber. Essentially it increases the octane rating by controlling the burn rate. I stress essentially because that is not a literal explanation but it simplifies thing. It allows for a better timing curve and increased boost without fear of pre-ignition. It is a win/win. You need to be sure it is a quality system. Progressive systems are worth the extra money. A straight shot can created flat spots in acceleration. In some cases if tuned incorrectly it can create a dip in overall top end performance. A good adjustable map is important. For my application (diesel) it's just going to be there to cool the intake, so i assume a single or dual stage system shoul be good I cannot say how it would affect a diesel. They work on combustion chamber temperature increases to ignite the mixture. I would have to assume that it can't affect it terribly negatively, since modern diesels use EGR systems for combustion chamber cooling. Sorry, but aside from throwing in some glow plugs and glow plug relays, doing some electrical work, and doing timing belts on the TDI Jeeps, I really don't know much about diesels. Most of what I know about them is from other technicians I know, and I do have several friends who are diesel mechanics.

I fucking love that show. Without a doubt my favorite series since HBO's "Rome".

I believe the VVT is only on the 6 liter. Never seen it on the 5.3 or 4.8. Behind the water pump on the front of the timing cover is a simple solenoid driven piston. The piston drives oil across different passages that make the cam gear rotate. It is not continuously variable, it is simply on or off. The phaser, as it is called, is similar to those used in most VVT systems, but it's actuation is very simple and very effective..

A straight shot can created flat spots in acceleration. In some cases if tuned incorrectly it can create a dip in overall top end performance. A good adjustable map is important. Not that it really matters, but I don't think water contributes either hydrogen or oxygen, just cooling. What's the range of temperatures in a cylinder (generically speaking)? ~2400 degrees in a best case scenario, but there are many factors contributing to the temp... Load, cooling system viability, EGR, valve timing, load, mixture, octane rating, and a plethora of other variables. Plenty of heat to separate oxygen from the hydrogen, and yes, it does contribute.

What is your vape and what juices are you using? I have stuck to Halo juices. They are exceptional. I tried a few at the local head shop and could not find any that suited my palate. I am really stuck on Halo's Turkish Tobacco in 24mg and Halo's Tribeca in 18mg. I have a few others steeping right now. FWIW the HX3 by Halo is fucking nasty!!!

Thanks, bud! Nearly 2 weeks and almost $200 in savings thus far. Admittedly I have spent about $3-350 to kit myself up, but now that I am near the point where my initial investment is done, I expect to spend roughly $30-45 per month on juices and maintenance. That is a strong savings when you compare it to roughly $400 a month. Plus my health... well over 30 years of smoking anywhere from a pack to 4 packs a day is not good for the old body. I think it is a huge win/win. I'm 3 weeks cigarette free now, and it feels pretty good. Congrats, brother!

I have had the nicest fucking beer tonight that I have ever tried. It is very thick, very heavy, sweet, satisfying, filling, and loaded with alcohol. It is Brooklyn Brewery's Black Chocolate Stout. I could seriously give up drinking whiskey for this. At $9 for a 4 pack, it is pricey though. I grabbed up a 4 pack for after work, and went to the store afterwards and bought up the entire remainder of their stock. It is fucking amazing!!!
