  1. Drug use is a victimless crime... generally. Drug abuse may have victims (via thefts, car collisions, etc). But the problem larger than drug use, is drug distribution. If they legalize drugs, the cartels, mafia, street gangs are all out of business. Or at the very least they all need to find new business ventures. We can't have that. Should drug use be encouraged? No. Should it be illegal? No. The war on drugs will never be won. You can't win a war on an object or an idea. Heck, they can't even keep drugs out of PRISONS! Since you will never be able to stop people from using drugs, there should be safe, legal channels to get them (so that the money does not end up in the hands of organized crime groups) and greed does not compromise the purity of drugs (for safety). Say heroin becomes legal tomorrow. Are you going to go out and do heroin and be an addict? No, odds are if you are not on drugs now, it's because it's against your morals or something, not because it's illegal. The legality change most likely will not change that.
  2. Disregard all of that my wahlboro fuel pump just stopped working (even jumped direct from battery). Car is on hold until after I finish the classes for my promotion at work (90 days at least) then however long until I'm motivated to buy a new fuel pump, jack up the car, drop the tank and replace the pump. Guess I burnt her out.
  3. I'm not getting very far. Found that backing off a little on the fpr spring gave me more steady fuel pressure (43psi as opposed to 58) and I'm able to drop the fuel PW down to 1.9ms from 6ms (where it was before to get it to run a few seconds). Sometimes it starts, sometimes I have to crank a while... When I get it running still 5-10 seconds max for an idle. If I apply any throttle, she dies instantly. Beat >.<
  4. I just ordered a 300/60/4/2 amp battery charger. I'm sick of being able to play with it for 10 minutes every 4 or 5 hours and getting no where >.<
  5. Got it to the point of it kicks over and runs for a second or two then falls on it's face. I've got the fuel map increased like nobody's business at this point. Getting closer.
  6. That's all been done. Battery is run parallel to a deep cycle battery and a charger . I guess it could possibly not be enough, but voltage is 12.3v . I'll keep doing fuel, so far I've added quite a lot to get it to this point .
  7. Got it back ! And after monkeying around for quite some time and checking/rechecking timing, I've got a near start ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HWdeXc6U1o But that's about as far as I got >.< Anyone have any suggestions ?
  8. records can have more than one groove.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multisided_record
  9. Not for nothing but the full sized 12" records can also be cut to run at 45 rpm.
  10. you can put a cone filter right on the turbo. if you are using an aftermarket ecu !
  11. cap off only the lines going to egr and leave the rest connected
  12. I think you are talking about the secondary air cleaner in regards to the downpipe question, not the egr. Also those systems are all separate.
  13. That's the charcoal can, part of the evap system. if you remove it, you'll smell gas vapor in your garage. You may fail inspection without it. I took it out because it's ugly and in the way of my intercooler piping.
  14. scope tests prove it. EMS sent to AEM for repair.

    quick exchange of money for goods. goods are in more than acceptable shape
  16. I personally do not like the color of the light given off by leds. I put led lights in hard to reach places because they seem to last forever. As far as efficiency, I'm sure a lot of it is heat loss due to downstepping and a/c to d/c converters. If it was straight dc, you'd see more efficiency.
  17. I think the pull-up circuit for crank on the ems-4 went bad.
  18. gotta be timing too retarded. or i am
  19. well... i got nowhere all day. i feel like throwing the car at my neighbor . only because both of them make me mad
