That's to equalize pressures. Post a thread on M.net and see how many you can string along.

You also have to figure out how to throw in jb welding quarters to pistons when you post that picture. Something about maybe you made to much power, and need to drop down to nickels.

Random thought:

For some reason, I have a strong urge to post a really bizarre warning sign, such as:
NOTICE:
  • INVASIVE FISH SPECIES
  • FLAMMABLE METALS
  • VOGON POETRY
ARE STRICTLY PROHIBITED IN THE MACHINE ROOM

For a number of years I had a fantasy baseball team named "Vogon Poets".

I'll get this done.

I wonder how long it will last though, that's the thing to bet on.

Every now and then people ask me why I prefer Apple products. The main argument I have for Apple is that Apple makes simple shit simple and functional, and they do it incredibly well. The main argument people use against that is that Microsoft makes everything so that the user can troubleshoot and customize things. The problem that I have with Microsoft is that it's the most basic, piddly shit that Microsoft royally sucks at executing. The simply shit reallly doesn't work, and the fixes usually involve a 2 page write up that requires the user to dig into the registry to fix.

My problem right now: in Windows 10, I literally cannot create any new folder and rename it without the explorer window freezing for a good minute. Sometimes, it stops responding completely, and I have to force quit. What the fuck, Microsoft?! The user should not be required to rewrite the registry in order to make a goddamn new folder.

That is not Window's fault. Something else (most likely anti virus) is screwing it up.

Windows Defender, the real-time analyzer, can lock things solid sometimes. I turn it off.

fooger03 10-24-2016 08:27 AM

In my experience, it's usually a hardware issue or a 3rd party driver issue.

The reason you like apple products isn't because they work incredibly well; it's because there is a defacto ban on 3rd parties from making or interfacing with apple products. With that same mentality, we could say that the governments and countries of China and North Korea are run exceptionally well.

That's just not true when it comes to OSX. It's just a better operating system. It doesn't have a registry that fills up every 3 years, it's Unix based. It has a god damn case sensitive file system, oh and it just works. having the best hardware out there is just a plus.

I love having a Unix like terminal and macports/homebrew. It's like having Linux without the shitty user interface.

People who bitch about OSX and macs are too poor to buy one. Or are gamers

I meet these criteria.

Until I got tired of it filling up 10% of my ssd tanks ran just fine on my MacBook air. Fwiw

I think tanks is actually optimized for all platforms, pc, mac and console. Wargaming really has their shit together IMO.

Lancaster News : Go directly to jail at 137 mph


A Fort Mill man in a muscular Mustang traversed 16 miles between Lancaster and Kershaw in seven minutes Sunday morning before being arrested.
Do the math. That’s averaging 137 mph.
Robert William Sherengo, 61, was charged with driving 100 mph in a 55-mph zone by the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office. The Lancaster Police Department charged him with failure to stop for blue lights and reckless driving.
Deputies finally got him to stop on North Matson Street in Kershaw. His green 2013 Ford Boss 302 Mustang bore the S.C. license plate BOSSMAN. He was wearing an auto-racing suit.
Sherengo told deputies he was speeding because he was late for a driver’s meeting at Carolina Motorsports Park.
“We are glad Mr. Sherengo stopped and cooperated with our deputies when he stopped,” said sheriff’s spokesman Doug Barfield. “He was going so fast that nobody could’ve gotten turned around on him without going outrageous speeds, which we are not going to do under those circumstances.

SO, when you use the xede boost control you get a check engine light. Mine is hooked up as factory so no check engine light, wastegate control.

Previous owner thought it was slick to install a switch in the harness to disable the check engine light itself. After getting the car back from BEGi I've been searching for the other end... since it was torn or something. Finally found the other end, at the harness connection. The amount I have to work with is smaller than the length of my pinky fingernail.

Anyone have any tips on how to re-pin the oem harness? Or should I do my best to attempt to strip, solder and cover :dunno:

At the ECM? I probably have a pigtail laying around.

You can pull the pin out of the ECU connector, then crimp on a new pin to the line and put it back in. Ballenger Motorsports probably has the pins you need.

Unless you have freakish, carnie-like fingers, that's more than enough length to do a solder-splice. Strip about 1/8" of the insulation from the reasoning wire stump, do the same for a new length of wire, pre-tin both ends, them join them together an overlapping fashion. Heat-shrink the connection, and carry on.
