MS2 in all its glory on my daily. I have a 5-hour road trip tomorrow so I may go throw-on that spare header I have. ----, I might do it now.

Where the hell is "target AFR gauge" for my TS dash for MS2?

I'm vegan...well 90% of the time. Getting all pouty cus animals die isn't the only reason to be vegan. I do it for health reasons. I recently cut meat and dairy out and eat almost exclusively fresh fruits and vegies as well as brown rice and other whole foods and I constantly feel like I've had 4 cups of coffee, but without the jitters and all the other side effects of caffeine. Actually I don't need coffee every day like I used too. Oh I also started running in the morning which helps even more.

I think I screwed up the wiring on the LC1. I either have 10:1 or 20:1 afr, no in between. I'm going to cut out the switch and light and see what it does tomorrow.

Most probably than not, you calibrated within the exhaust by accident.

Youre right scott but a factor of two is applird so you sill get the same Increase in sq area. I win. Bob

I just swapped headers at 2am and calibrated before starting the car. I took apart the green car and looked at the wiring and copied it, and the LC1 in the green car works.

red from fuse box
blue to engine
white to engine
black to the switch
switch to gnd
light goes from blue to black wire

(the light will not illuminate)

I'm going to jack with it a little more tomorrow, then order an MTX-L.

Wrong.

Light goes to black wire (+) and gnd (-) directly. Also check the polarity of the LED is correct.

Oh goody, I feel better. Off to bed, it's 4am here.

okay. please show me your calculations...

You told me you got 19.6 sqin by using the below:

Quote:

---

Pie times radius^2. Area.

---

So I did the math and get:

Now where can you get 19.6 sq.in. by adding a "factor of 2"???

Using your formula, 4.90625 sq.in. is the product and pi and 1.5625 are the factors.

I'll just leave this here... :rofl:

if it wasnt on stock suspension, id say it actually say its a good buy...still too overpriced.

1.8L swap, torsen, 6-sp, turbo.


although it looks like the master leaks.

I offered him $1500 and told him to call me in 3 months when he still has it

nice, congrats on the purchase :)

We will see... He will probably be butt hurt that I offered him $4k under his asking price :)

2.1 Indicator LED and Calibration button hookup:
The LED will communicate the LC-1’s status. To monitor LC-1 status, connect the red wire
(Anode) of the included LED to the calibration wire (black) of the LC-1 and connect the black wire
(Cathode) of the LED to the ground wire of the momentary switch. The grounds to both the
cathode side of the LED and the Push button should be connected with the Heater ground.

Whatever, I changed it so the red and black on the light are tied through the switch from the calibration wire to GND and now the light works...like a bauce.

Dude! I just met this guy the other day. His name is Seth. I've seen that car in his yard but never talked to him. Then about two weeks ago I saw him trying to pull out of a parking lot. I slowed up to toy with him and pwn the ---- out of him but when he did a flyby I could hear his turbo. We never got any clean runs but his car is decently quick. We pulled into a lot and talked and hes actually pretty cool. He is not the one that put the body kit on it (though I'm not sure why he hasn't ripped it off yet). He at least knows what hes doing when it comes to tuning and wrenching.

what's worse is they eat animal substitutes in some sort of sadistic evil plot to still feel like they've killed an animal.

isn't that all just silly? commit to your goddam lifestyle and eat vegetables that look like vegetables!

I'm convinced all vegetarians secretly hate themselves.

i love the ones who cheat.

I love vegetarians...on a bun.


zing.

I don't see why people give a damn about what a vegan/vegetarian puts in their mouth. I don't give you a hard time about what you put in your orifices.

I am healthy as fuk, and live off 4-6 hours of sleep a night but have enough energy to do work and also party all the time. I attribute 50% of that to my diet and 50% to HITT and strength exercise (crossfit). I have a vegan diet though because I like animals. They are generally cute. Much cuter than people. That said, I have also strongly considered adding home-grown insects to my diet. Fat, protein, very low carbs. I think insects are a great food source.

Yes everything has to suffer and die for someone to live. As I said though, cows are cute, pigs are cute, chickens and ducks are cute etc. As for seafood, I would prefer that the ocean be filled with strange slimy wriggling lifeforms as opposed to just be a lifeless salty bucket.

My real issue with animal consumption is scale. With 8+billion people around, that is a lot of frikken food that has to be produced. With so many damn humans, everyone should be fed bugs and fungus. Would keep the world a much nicer place with wilderness and wild animals. Yay.

Also. Factory farming is a motherufkkr and absolutely revoltingly disgusting. It's a hideous travesty of a technologically-reliant (antibiotics, hormones, genetic manipulation) institution. If you haven't read about factory farming, you should.

Yes free range farming is great, but there's not enough land to feed everyone on the planet with free-range-farmed animals. So I don't support it. The End.

Pigs are only cute when they are domestic, feral pigs are not cute.

I'm eating a steak tonight for Min.

Turbo Miatas are not sustainable, you can't supply everyone on this planet with a turbo Miata. I don't support turbo Miatas. The end.

Ok, I've had to do some research here to find the correct vocabulary to express my opprobrium.

"Ethical vegetarians" piss me off. These are the folks who refrain from eating animals or using animal products because it is morally wrong to so so. To quote ethicalvegetarian.com: "Although ethical vegetarians enjoy the benefits of the healthy diet and lifestyle of vegetarianism, they are not vegetarians because of health reasons: they are vegetarians because they want to minimize cruelty and death in the world. Good health is just a pleasant side-effect."

So, when an ethical vegetarian explains to me why it's wrong to have leather upholstery in my car, or even to drink most commercially-produced wines (because the fining agents used to clarify the wine are derived from animal products), and then they go and eat a slice of bread, that's just utter hypocrisy. If it is morally wrong to kill animals, then the production of bread is tantamount to genocide on a scale unparalleled in all of human history- more yeast are incinerated in a single hour at the baker's oven than the total number of people of all races put to death in all the concentration camps of WWII combined.

In fact, ethical vegetarians are inherently anti-Christian. The production of bread is discussed 361 times in the king James bible. It is practically a metaphor for the entire religion, inasmuch as Christ compares himself to bread, and promotes its ritualistic consumption to his disciples shortly before his execution.

So by their worldview, ethical vegetarians must denounce Christianity (as well as Judaism) as supporting the greatest and most widespread racial holocaust the world has ever known.

Given the present sociopolitical climate in the US, Christianity is very much in vogue right now, and weirdm scary people who denounce it are fit to be ostracised.

Is that really what you want? Do you want to murder baby Jesus? Because every time you refuse to kill and eat an animal, that's exactly what you are doing.

Down with ethical vegetarians.



I dated a girl who was a vegetarian for a while in college. I cared quite a great deal about what she put in her mouth.

Hahaha, Nice ninja edit Joe.

Not fast enough I'm afraid. I've been needing a new sig for a while now.

Hehehe. Don't worry, I left that part intact. I just wanted to be a bit more vitriolic in the first part and need some time to enhance the lunacy of my argument. :D

Wow. Well I think just about anyone will agree that yeast is different from cows: they don't have a nervous system and aren't even animals. I don't think there is anything wrong with killing and eating animals, but: 1) Fae is correct in saying that modern farming (factory farming) is bad news. It is terrible for the environment and for our health. 2) The diet of Western civilizations is very high in meat and recent studies show strong correlations with high animal content in diet and increased cardiovascular diseases.

TL; DR- Vegan is cheaper, healthier, and more enviro-friendly

EDIT: While typing this I am eating some venison. Small portion, only eat it once in a while, no hormones, killed humanely, ultimate free range product, saved someone from getting their front bumper tore up.

Wrong studies, mostly.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18954578

These are peer reviewed studies. As a biologist I put more faith in peer reviewed articles than anything else.

All the ones I clicked on, a half dozen or more, were observational studies.

The problem with observational studies.

1. world must stop producing so many babies and making places like the obesity farm known as "The Cheesecake Factory". Seriously, religion wants babies because they are the new clone army. But it's bad for the planet. Third rail omg!

2. fixing your own diet solves 1/7,000,000,000th of the problem. I married a sustainable ag advocate who attempts to change things on the production side. therefore I don't feel guilty eating meat (at least when I know where it came from and how it was produced). her work on the farm bill will (hopefully, eventually, unlikely because corn farmers love subsidies) ultimately improve the situation for the whole country, not just one skinny indonesian with questionable sawzall skillz.

it's the corn-fed-omega-3-depleted-saturated-fatty-cow problem you're speaking of. eat 100% grass fed beef and the problem becomes a much smaller problem.

but I agree that red meat makes your cardiovascular health worse. it's got a lot of saturated fat, and not the good kind. grass fed is better but not perfect. maybe chicken. also people still are duped into thinking pork isn't a red meat. it is!



haha win.

In my house we only eat free-range hormone free grass fed beef, deer, and bison. All 3 have SUBSTANTIALLY less cholesterol and bad fats. But fear not, I still get my fair helping of hormones and bad fats when I eat out.

i like cake.

More of a pie guy myself

I have no interest in avoiding factory meat to change the industry as that is futile. I just don't want the hormones and antibiotics. The 100% grassfed beef will solve one problem, but it has its own problem (for me anyway) and that is $. I'd rather kill a deer at my buddies house with a $.40 bullet and get xx lbs. of 100% grass fed meat while doing a little population control that is necessary since we killed all of the deer's natural predators hundreds of years ago.

And yes, population is one of the biggest problems we face and is at the root of a ton of other problems. We could all drive turbo miatas running pig rich and never run out of 93 octane or cause significant global warming if there were 1/100th the amount of people on the earth (not real numbers obviously)

Ok, you guys are taking this waaaaaaay too seriously.

Hundreds of generations of my ancestors struggled mightily to be on the top of the food chain. Eating meat honors their memory.

I support your hunting habits. But how do you get the $.40 bullet to kill a deer? throw it really hard?

This is MT.net. Of course people are taking something waaaay too seriously!

I miss the old days, when I'd post a long-winded rant and people would reply with cat pictures.

my cat from yesterday in the "seal" position.

ARP ARP!

Got my new Tein springs installed. Decided to change out the alighment bolts while I was at it. What a pain in the butt.

Good news is that my car is no longer slammed, and I can get my jack underneath. No more worries about some sort of lift.

Are kids still using ramps (like rhino ramps) these days? I'm tired of carrying my jack and jackstands around just to change oil and junk.

:withstupid::friday:

What the filp is up with the Czar Hussein re-election propaganda in the ads. The first lady is weird and gives me the creeps :ugh:

I already have plenty of guns for target practice which I love and would have them regardless of if I hunt or not. So really the only costs involved with hunting are the bullet and gas.

Picture of my kitteh to show I'm not being too serious.

This was Roxanne...before the coyote got her. ----. I'm being to serious again. Here ya go. Her brother Rusty.

Attachment 185978

Are stock NA springs worth anything, or should I just toss them in the recycle bin?


mx5autoxer, Roxanne had cool coloring.

They're worthless.

Mx5autoxer Y U NO HAVE INSIDE KITTIES??

My GF's apartment in Houston is so sad, no kitties. :cry:

BRB, going to see Daniel Tosh live.

Edit:
The pre-sale password was "----" lol.

Didn't somebody else do that a few months ago, or was that you too?

Not me

:drama:

So, if Hustly was to take part in a web redemption bit of Tosh's, what would it be?!?

boom!!

There were lots of jokes Houston did not like. Lol

How long was it? I'm wondering if its an hour that they make into 30 minutes of funny TV, or if he is really funny enough to make a funny 30 minute tv show every week.
