750hp Skyline...dyno....



That's where I blew my load

I'll post picture when I get home.
Until then, here's my friend's RX7 build: http://www.norotors.com/index.php?topic=494.0

Canadians can import any car from anywhere, as long as it is 15 years old. There are so many Skylines, RX7s, Fairladys, MR2s, Aristos, etc here it will boggle the mind.
$7k R32 GTR anyone?

[/quote]



One of my buddys in High School had an '86 MR2, goddamn was that a fun little car. Poor thing ended up chucking a rod that poked a hole in the block that ended up spraying oil on the exhaust manifold that ended up turning the car into a very multi-color fireball on the side of I-295. He had an extinguisher in the car, but by the time he got to a stop and got out it was far too late, and the extinguisher was in the trunk... exactly where you don't want to be standing at the moment.


If I had the dosh to restore and build a car, a late 80's MR2 would be like third behind a Skyline and Supra.... but oh god where do I put my ST-185 Celica in there oh what the fuck.



Also, that RX7 is sexy, although I am saddened by the loss of another rotary block =((((

My TV I got myself for Christmas keeps on giving. Best Buy has had two $100 price drops on it so I've gotten $200 back in gift certificates on it and they told me to check back because there might be another price drop. lol

Sounds like you've never driven a rotary. Torque-less and ball-less. Boost in, seals out....
Unless it's a quad-rotor.

Finally got Time Warner to send a tech out to my house today because when I got home, the cable was out and rebooting the modem resulted in a connection that would last exactly 2 minutes and 27 seconds before it dropped again.

TWC does some diag on my modem while he's here, sees my modem is only pushing out +11 dBmV, but his handheld tester is getting like +49


Replace my 6 year old Scientific-Atlanta modem modem with a newer Cisco rebadged copy of the same modem, hook it up and it's pushing +51dBmV

Oh how nice, all this horseshit I've been going through for months with only getting like 5% of my line rating, turns out it was a modem that could hardly whisper loud enough for the headend equipment to hear it.


Bonus points, the tech got ahold of his supervisor after I was telling him about how much bullshit I've gone through with TWC back and forth about this and how annoyed I was because if they only unlocked even just the modem staus page on it's internal httpd, I could have diagnosed this when it started. Said supervisor is coolGuy++ and bumps my upload to 5Mbit.


Today is a good day.  8)

Neither, TWC provides the modem for free. They came and swapped out the old one for a new one.

You've got Veteran privileges now Crow, if anyone tells you to do something you don't want to, just loudly announce that you didn't fight overseas for this bullshit.

Woke up with a call from the Visual Effects Director of Harry Potter, and he wants me to write a movie for him. Big Grin

ProTip: Make sure it has magic in it.

Serious question: Are you a screenwriter? I am an aspiring one, so it's always good to find kindred souls.
