easy way is to talk to other owners who have crashed/broke them. next, is just plain old look. the longer a section is - the more leverage it puts against its joint. build a replica out of Elmers & toothpicks, and push against it. is it a unibody or actual chassis? another fun part is the direct...

so, how wide of a spark plug gap can ya get with this? while a hot spark is nice - a larger spark is even better. a 0.10" gap? a MSD box & coil can get ya a 0.07" gap. from the sounds of it, with capacitive discharge & high voltage - I would guess you could get a 0.15" gap. th...

So listen, just so we're clear here.... I already have a router, and one cable is already running up to my room. Since I don't want to run another cable (it's a MAJOR ass pain) I can plug the cable that is currently running into my computer, into a switch or a hub... and it will "split" t...

well, start with "why?" - what is going slow? are you trying to fix something, or just upgrading to upgrade? if you are upgrading to upgrade - better goto a new system. because, it sounds like you want to anyways.

One funny thing about airport security is the inconsistency of it. In January I went to Istanbul. One the way there I went through security ONCE in Billings, MT and that was it. On the way back I had to go threw security twice in Istanbul, once in Frankfurt with everyone being patted down, and then...

nice collection of body panels. right now it kinda reminds me of the Wendy's "mystery fish" - but, once its all painted - that will look great. the nose looks better than most noses like that - the slope is consistant with the hood slope - is that a new make? and by who?

yes - I see now - if the "scallops" are the same size as the pad - the clamping force will always be the same

I am by no means a rocket scientist - or any scientist for that matter, but wouldnt that just wear the shit out of the pads? Interesting idea though not anymore than slotted or drilled.
