More wrong? Wrong is an absolute state and not subject to gradation.


yeah i just went Sheldon Cooper on your ass... BAZINGA!

(rlaugh)

Pablo, great to hear man and wish you many more sunny days ahead.

Nate, I agree about Donovan...pretty sure it was more of a formality on Klins side but much better than him giving Donovan a free pass. I tivo'd the game last night and watched some of it. It was later and I was falling asleep so fast forwarded through most. Now will Klins be on the sideline in Chicago.....

I caught the second half of the game last night. Basically the same as a remember the last time the U.S. played Honduras. The officiating was pretty awful and I can only hope that crew gets repremanded and Klinsman will be back on the sideline on Sunday. Does anyone know what happened to Dempsey? Is he injured or something because I really can't believe he didn't make the squad. He's easily our most aggressive/experienced goal scorer.

1. I has 2 blocks and parts...

2. There's a dyno day on Saturday, $65 for 2 pulls. Gonna take the MSM

I would love to take those off your hands, but I have to wait and see what is going to happen about my finacial aid for s hool first. They told me to appeal it because I've been to 4 different colleges and have changed majors in the past.

I wasn't able to watch it last night, just got the score update. I think Dempsey is either rehabing or doing something with his team in europe. I forget where he is. The annoucers a couple games ago made it sound like everyone in the midfield is auditioning to not be replaced by Dempsey for the world cup.

Good to hear things are looking up Pablo. What kinda thngs do you want/need to do to make the MSP more streetable?

Good news for you too Corey. I saw some new K1 rods on ebay for under $350 shipped not too long ago.

Tires, street friendly alignment, headlights and modify intake. That would be enough to drive it when its not raining. For the rain: new windshield, windows, wipers (which I have), blower for the defroster, hood (which I have).

Not required (but beneficial): fix speedo, fix fuel gauge, less aggressive brake pads, remove vinyl, paint cage black, different muffler\axle back to reduce noise.

So I am assuming that selling it isn't a possibility? Did you list it on the NASA/SCCA forums?

Sure you list the things to make it streetable/legal on the street, but is it really going to be fun? This sounds like a bad/expensive idea if you ask me.

 

[princess peach]

Yes it's on the NASA forum, here, ebay, GRM, CL, Cleveland Racing, NEO SCCA, Racing Junk, several FB groups, I've told all car people I know... I've offered to keep parts to reduce the price, NOBODY has said anything...

If it doesn't sell, I'd like to get more out of it than a few weekends out of the year. Initially I wouldn't do the rain stuff, I'd just get it out there and pay close attention to the weather app.

Ok, I'm going to be a geek, but is anyone else looking into getting a Google Chromecast?

Very cool idea, I'd buy it right now if I could send the video from VLC or Quicktime on Mac, that's what I use the most.

 

[pmartz16]

that looks really cool. That is what I have my apple tv for but since I ditched the iphone I might have to pick that up. I liked wirelessly playing videos from my phone on my tv

 

[tweiss3]

I want to get one and try some stuff out. Some places have said something about dragging files from your computer to chrome and playing videos through crome that way.

VLC, XMBC and others should get Chromecast support in the near future.

 

[WillD]

I like the idea. I have a media center computer though so I won't be checking it out.

 

[tweiss3]

I do too, but it would be nice to play topgear in the bedroom sometimes. Plus, at only $35 bucks, its not breaking the bank in any way

Another reason I heard for Dempsey's absence was that this Gold Cup consisted of mostly B-team players for each country. At least that is a lot of chatter I've read regarding the current US win streak...."oh, the other teams are playing their B-team players, of course the US will dominate"... But Klins isn't fielding his WC lineup either rather he's using this to test different lineups to see who fits best where. Dempsey will def. be on the WC team. If Donovan and EJ both make it (they should) and continue playing as they have that will be one nice front line. I tell ya, Wondolowski and Beckerman have made one helluva duo lately, it's like they know where each other will be on the pitch. And I'm very impressed to see the US attack the way they have. Rather than play it safe with a one goal lead they are looking to strike.

Well if you like Samsung and have several of their toys, you can use Samsung Link to wirelessly do the same. I use it to send pics from my GSIII to the laptop. But kicking myself in the butt for not spending a little more a few years ago to get a Samsung Smart tv.

 

[pmartz16]

Yeah I just have a Sony Bravia in my room so idk how else I could wirelessly play videos from my galaxy s3 on my tv. It would be nice to have that capability again

 

[ajkulish]

Doesn't feel like 320 whp anymore, AJ?

Congrats again on getting her sorted, Corey.

nope only 315 now i think its my ******* boost gauge sensor line, keeps rubbbing through and i have to tape it. but it could just be my hypertech since it targets load and not boost. im making more power with lower boos

two for sale on c-list right now
colder plugs, valve cleaning, t6, trany fluid, I feel like I would try a few other options before replacing the turbo

im just seeing lower boost numbers. but only in lower gears. the higher gears i get to the higher the boost

also my H&R coilovers should be here soon

 

[pmartz16]

Nice get some stiffer springs. I rub bad and you can't adjust the dampering on the H&R's. I just want stiffer springs all the way around but the way they come is great for DD.

but you do know that the ms3's are boost limited in first and second gears dont you??
