Just don't cut any circles in it without Eldo

Hello.

of course neglecting turbulence being that we use a sinusoid (Hz) as excitation it would actually break the speed of sound in both directions creating dual booms per cycle...again assuming that in both directions it exceeded the speed of sound.

It still requires the same velocity to break the speed of sound, you can't really add two halfs of the velocity together and get anything useful. I picked 1Hz so you would only have to look at the motion in one direction. In other words the displacement would indeed get less (2hz => 1/2 displacement) but the velocity still has to be the same. Actually moving distance has nothing to do with it, just breaking 720mph.

Definetely wouldn't be a problem except: Sonic boom requires exceeding the speed of sound: 720mph therefore 720 m/h (h/60m)(m/60sec) = .2 miles/sec .2miles/s(5280ft/mile) (12inches/foot) = 12672 in/sec So using a 1hz tone you would have to move the sub 12672inches and so on and so on. Obviously you will run into an energy problem and then you have to turn the sub around and bring it back. Those are some dynamics....

Had an 84 Ford Conversion van for a while in high school, I miss the shaggin' wagon.

Yeeeee --- Paw!

Thinking about selling the M to buy this. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1977-Dodge-...1QQcmdZViewItem

Hmm, I don't know about the no mileage comment but you will surely have better inclement weather traction while losing some stick on the dry. Get an H speed rating with a high treadwear rating and you will have them for a while.

Jeez, how long are you trying to make them last?? The best way to have tires last longer is to NOT get performance tires. On the M, I get about 15k miles on a set....ouch!

Is this for the Stratus?

Aaron, our hearts are with you and we really hope that Amanda feels better soon!!!

Sorry mang, I read that twice and am not sure what you are asking; however, I think basically it is need 25" box only 24"--if so just extend the port 1" out of the box. Won't be cosmetic, but you could smooth it by putting a 45 degree chamfer block up against it or do a bit of glass work to round it out and it will be fine. If that is what you were asking.

Before I sold one of my SHO's I got a set of Duralon's from Fleet Farm. $240 installed for 225/50/16's. Currently best deals generically speaking have been at a local Discounttire.com store. They should have something cheap in your size. Either that or do you have a local auto forum. In Minny the mnscc.net/forum has lots of deals on tires, but won't be local to you...

It seems strange to me that you only hear it out of one of the ports. Can you pop out the sub and restrict the air flow to the noisy port and see if it makes the other one noisy? If so, you need more port area for sure. If not, there must be something wrong with the port that is noisy. Might be easier to go all out and frank it, but I am having a hard time understanding how it can be one and not the other. Being they are both vented and should mostly be exposed to the same pressures you should hear it out of both. I would try and isolate the difference to see if I can make the quiet port the noisy one to confirm it is just flat out not enough area. Even though if the Mike's think you are short on port area, you probably are.

F U!!! X2

When my port makes noise my wife makes me put a cork in it.

Right on, congratulations!

Sweet! Have to post sanding frustration pics... P.S. The vid made me cry too, morale of the story is no CHEAPAZZ updates on the 1.8T

I'd pick the Honda exclusively cause the Saturn is dog slow. That says something since I really, really won't drive a Japanese car. (being 6'8" I look and feel ridiculous in all of them, plus they don't trade with the US so screw 'em). However, if that Honda has really been beat on which noting the performance parts I would then defer and take the Saturn. Actually with any car with that many miles try and buy the one that has been taken better care of. It will go along way in saving you money on it in the future.l

Oh ya, in the winters its F'in cold here.

65* here today. It was 80* over x-mas and new years...MOVE HERE NOW! Once my car is payed off, I'm gone. Probably to SC with my buddy, but who knows. It would be really nice to see the ocean. Never have before. In FACT, I've never been farther than a bordering state of Indiana. My life sucks. Dang, never seen the ocean huh. You're missin out, ocean weather is awesome and ocean sunsets > any other sunset. There are three other sunsets you should see before you die. 1) On a big Northern Lake...a lot like the ocean but being we are further North the sun takes a different path 2) Really far up North where you can watch the sunset turn into Northern Lights 3) Up high in the Mountains--I have seen it set in the Rockies, the Appalachians, and the Andes (the Andes were the best but hey they are honkin' high) The ocean is pretty sweet though, but hopefully soon I will live on lake front here and get to see it every night--try and afford that in Cali

Looks real good. I like the matching paint idea, are you going to blow the paint yourself? I suppose a better question is are you going to do the frustrating body work yourself. Aargh I hate sanding. Here is a VW 1.8T with a few cheap mods for speed on it that you may or may not want to follow.... http://video.search.yahoo.com/video/view?&...=10.4MB&dur=252 Hit the "play video" button

Now you have to invert it....
