and yet they wanna keep people from street racing.....sucks for you guys in PR, here in tx they just opened another quarter mile about 8 months ago.btw abs/non-abs matters if you are using a 1 piece driveshaft, with the stock 2 piece it doesn't matter that much because it gives some play for that, but if you have get a 1 piece and get a j30 diff or alike(which is abs) on your non-abs car the 1 piece will fit but really tight and will mess up the trans.

talking about street racing, which no one should ever do, last night it was like 2 in the morning, am on my way home from the lady's house, here in this little boring town streets are always empty as f..., some random guys drive up next to me and go:hey! wanna race?, so i take a look at their car, stock lincoln ls, and first thing i tought was, its got a v8, so i told the guy: am not stupid!, and he goes: come on!, so i look behind me, then in front of me, no cars for miles, so i downshift into 3rd from a 50 roll and smash it, am ahead, and im like he is just f'ing around with me, and i started waiting for him to blow right past me, and am still ahead, he couldn't catch up and i was like wtf? i just beat a lincoln ls, all i got is an exhaust cam swap, and the usual intake/header/exhaust.

so am guessing he just had a v6 and was heavy, i checked onlline and it says it weights about 3600 lbs., but the v6 supposedly makes 210 hp/205 ft. lbs...... weird...

and before i get flamed yes am 19 and stupid no need to flame!!!

by the way i feel the pain on the track getting torn up, i gotta drive like an hour and 15 min. just for a crappy 1/8th of a mile track, but its fun thou and if its fun is worth it!

I wasn't around yesterday...fuching awful day.

My son Dylan (2) jumped on my Doberman, who turned around and bit him. It was a glancing blow so it opened up his forehead...big time. There was also another cut to his eye brow, missed his eye by about 1/4". So I did some quickie first aid and drove to the ER. I was with him while they held him down, cleaned the lacerations, pulled open the forehead wound and it was all the way to the bone. Which isn't far I know, but it was a bad fuching cut. He was a f***ing trooper though...gonna be a great Hockey player

After all that BS, I had to watch the animal cops come and take the dog I've raised for the last 9 years. To understand how much that bothers me, you'd have to understand the kind of person I am. I prefer dogs to most people hands down. If I had to hunt, I'd rather hunt convicts or something...seriously.

However, I have kids and they will always come first. This happened in 08 when Dylan was a baby. Just a small bite by comparison. Dylan scared him awake and got bit. So I had him neutered/spayed...whatever the male gets...and that really calmed him down. But he's not a kids dog and he doesn't really like other dogs.

Life sucks for me right now

thats not a kill its a v6 auto in a 600+pound heavier car. 5th gearing new si civics as they try to do fly byes is killin

wd sorry to hear man, hope the boy gets better fast, must have been an eye f***age day, I got a piece of cutting disc in my eye and had to hit the er this morning. Big hunk of cutting wheel under my eyelid ftmfl. eye drops and pain killers ftw

my neighbors have dobbys, why we put up a fence before we moved in, they are pretty viscous mf'ers. But turns out our other neighbors bulldog was the first to bite my son, totally my fault, I knew she wasnt that much of a kid friendly dog(so do the owners ) and my son was chasing her around the middle of four adults, she reached back and gave him a little leave me alone nip.

Anywho, I know what you mean my dog is the biggest pain in the d!ck, but I prefer him over even most of my friends

chocolate lab ftw! my son is kinda rough with him and he never tries to bite, I broke that at first attempt. I have a buddy with a pit/bulldog mix and its one of the nicest I've met, it even cries like a baby when he leaves

again sorry you had to deal with it man

I dunno if you guys are as into music as I am, I have it playing pretty much 24/7. Keeps me in a decent mood etc.

I think Slightly Stoopid is pretty good. I was listening to them last night...can't help but be in a good mood Just good chill music. Doubt these will sound good through pc speakers, but give a listen. I'll try to post DJ WD's Music selection of the day from here on out

I took piano lessons for like 7 years but I can't read music worth s*** haha. I can play by ear though so if I listen to something I can usually get most of it down within an hour or so. I was in band in high school, played the saxophone lol.

I play piano, drums, guitar, and I've been learning to play harmonica. My music reading abilities aren't that great either. I can read it, but not as I play.

Man, I'd love to be able to play the Sax. That's the best "wind" instrument IMHO. Tons of range and it's just a sexy piece of work. I love the keyboard because I can do almost anything with it. I used to get really into mixing music...kids kinda take that time now

Better than nothing.

I just got a recipe from a woman at work for homemade eggnog, I usually don't like it, but she brought some in last year. It was great, but maybe its all the rum in it that I liked so much. Probably will end up drunk off of it around Christmas Eve when I try to make it.

What exactly are you talking about? Which bracing?

Adjustable suspension arms are need to adjust your alignment.

Chassis bracing. Strut tower bars, pillar bars, subframe braces, etc.

They are adjustable so you can tune pre-load, kind of a selling point. If you want good bracing look into gt spec. Not adjustable because you don't really need it.

Ah, ok.

Reminds me I guess I need to see if I can even get my FSTB back on after the turbo install, I'm betting not.

nah I understand the reason for suspension pieces having adjustment, to align the car to you liking.

oh so the adjustment is superficial then I would never put preload on the towers or any part of the suspension mounting points that sounds sketchy, I recall a post ,a guy had to have the strut bar on very stiff to keep his alignment in reasonable spec....

Well I made a cpillar bar today out of some random pipe I had laying around(kinda thick 1.5") its very solid lol. Felt like I had less wheel hop doing a reverse uturn. Would a benefit be less wheel hop? I am not up to date on suspension bracing, just kinda been putting it off, but I can feel so much body flex on some of my spots where the "track" is V shaped...

lol I wish slip, that is out of my budget, plus once I cage the car it becomes a track only type thing. Then I would destroy the car via limits being pushed due to me feeling "safe". On a positive I can feel a big change in my cars rigidity, the egay rear upper did a tiny amount in comparison to the solid cpillar

wd cut that f***er up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

Its a lil bit overkill...haha but if you are good at making your own parts,you could just look around and see what manufactors produce for the s13 and sort of "borrow" the design..

And wd who do you bank with? Because that's rediculus,and it def makes me want to pay off my card before that happens...
