I would rather ride on a train being powered by Galts motor and using Rearden Metal as the tracks.


Myabe I should put your WILG sticker on the train.

I think dental is different, but yes, we do pay a shit-ton of taxes for healthcare. Also, when you DO need healthcare for something, you still have to pay for it. I don't get it? But as far as I'm concerned, we have pretty good teeth, no? My teeth are straight and white. Then again.. I'm not sure about those lumberjack folk...... ha ha ha.

And poutine is fucking awesome. That is probably the ONLY thing I don't mind about the French.

You know what's kinda funny? If you go to any car site and search crash, SRT-4s will take the cake in terms of numbers.

Needs less politics and more ramble.

I make dumb little songs when I'm bored.




turotufas 08-19-2010 01:28 AM

Two things tonight:

First, super-fasto turn signal blinkers! What happens on the Wangan at 320 km/h should stay there.

Second, don't tailgate me! I'll brake check you. Put 20 cars on you then brake check you.

That's because all of these 6' flat, 120-pound ******s with white sunglasses and sideways hats with stickers on them who can't drive buy them because they think it's fast (even though it's a Neon) and don't grasp the concept of lateral grip or braking distance. Fucking douchebags. I had an old friend that bought one and cut the springs with a hacksaw and threw a massive turbo on it and a shitty tune. He crashed his into a pole on a street that maybe had a 2° turn in it.

mgeoffriau 08-19-2010 09:46 AM

I know almost nothing about turbo sizing and compatibility, so pardon the noob question:

Should I be dropping $100 on this T3/T4 for the hell of it, provided it spins freely with little shaft play?

http://jackson.craigslist.org/pts/1903073924.html

Will it ever be useful to me (or could I flip it to one of you suckers for a profit)? Keep in mind, if one of you guys tells me it's crap and then posts up about your new T3/T4 that you stole, I will nerdrage you in an epic fashion.

E-NA6CE 08-19-2010 09:59 AM

Well what is it? It says nothing about the turbo?

mgeoffriau 08-19-2010 10:03 AM

Well, I shot him an email to ask for more info on it, but like I said I'm fairly clueless when it comes to turbo specs and sizing, so I'm not even sure if I'd know how to interpret what he tells me. I took the BEGi shortcut for my car so I haven't taken the time to learn about turbo sizing/compatibility other than very general stuff.


EDIT: Screw it, Damon set me straight.

E-NA6CE 08-19-2010 10:24 AM

So you got what you were looking for? We are here to help (and flame) you if you have any questions, you know.

mgeoffriau 08-19-2010 10:30 AM

Yeah, just needed someone to steer me away from buying parts I don't need.

E-NA6CE 08-19-2010 10:40 AM

Ha ha, something tells me that would have been a downgrade from the S3?

I think a few of us are having problems. I've tried and failed about five times over the last month or two. I do not know why, but it does suck. Nothing changed in my the process, I just get white.

Works for me. Are you guys sure you're taking the URL after the LAST = sign of the initial URL and NOT the &feature=related bit?

There's two way to learn:

First, you can few Rick's sticky on the matter: How to post a youtube video

or you can scroll all the way down to where you see forum posting rules:

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...1&d=1282237455

click on BB code, then scroll to where the instructions for using YT tags are and learn:

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...1&d=1282237455

E-NA6CE 08-19-2010 01:08 PM

Also note that in YouTube's URL you are taking the characters AFTER the LAST = sign, but NOT the &feature=related shit.

viperormiata 08-19-2010 01:13 PM

Wow, this was seriously starting to piss me off. I've been doing this for 2 years and one day I wake up...and...no worky! I do not like :noob:

Thanks for the refresh guys.


E-NA6CE 08-19-2010 01:15 PM

When I saw that video I thought to myself, "Who in their right mind would put on that much of a show? Stupid woman."

Wendy's does that to me, too. Nothing like pissing shit out your ass, huh?

rider384 08-19-2010 05:03 PM

Taco bell and Chipotle do that to me. With chipotle, it's either a log a couple of days later or it's a river after 2 hours.

E-NA6CE 08-19-2010 05:29 PM

I'm lactarded, so anything dairy and my ass is like a volcano for the entire day. Those shitty pills don't even work, for fuck's sake.

Dear world:

All I want is to find a copy of Brian Bagnall's "On the Edge: The Spectacular Rise And Fall of Commodore" for a reasonable price.

Ok, I understand that it's been out of print for a while, but is $200-$400 really justifiable for a book about a couple of guys who built a neat little computer 30 years ago? I mean, you could buy a brand new C-64 for that kind of money back when they were still being made. Ok, so they also designed the MOS6502, which you could argue revolutionized the home computer market, but still, it's not like we're talking about an original-bound 1803 first printing of Claude Louis Berthollet's two-volume "Essai de Statique Chimique" or anything. This book was published in 2006, for crying out loud. I picked up my copy of Steven Levy's "Hackers" (arguably the seminal work in the genre) for something like $10, and I think Clifford Stoll's "The Cuckoos Egg" was even less than that at the local secondhand paperback store.

(Which reminds me, I've still got something like $50 in credit there, and it's been almost two years since I last visited. On the plus side, they keep their records on 3x5 cards in a box, so I doubt they purge their database very often.)

You can do that on dry pavement with a stock Miata with a shitty GReddy kit on it.

Let me know when you find a cheap source for rare books, I'd like to get a copy of Brian Schul's "Sled Driver"

When you find it, see if they have a copy of Peter Brock's book on Cobra Daytona Coupes for less than a $1000 (I'm serious).


EDIT:

Do you realize it's about to be reprinted in hardcover under a slightly different title?

Commodore: A company on the edge

It's been "about to be reprinted" for over a year now. The release date keeps on getting pushed and pushed. I've even contacted the publisher (a fly-by-nite little outfit called Variant Press) and they were no help at all. The lady I spoke to just babbled something about "You must find the Jade Monkey before the next full moon" and then ran shrieking into the darkness, being chased by a dimensionless orb which, if I'm not mistaken, was singing the chorus to "Island In The Sun" over and over again, backwards, in Aramaic.

I'm not sure I trust these people.
