Re: What are you listening to?

Personally, I wouldn't hear any diff. between 320kbps MP3 and most listening tests show that humans even when they think they can distinguish between 320kbps MP3/AAC and lossless really can't. Of corse, there's the digital perfection factor. What if you make a mix out of the song, and have to save i...

Rofl. It was your Summer Calling post that got me browsing in the trance/electronica artists in Winamp again.

Re: Tallest final gear

What exactly are the "Wheel correction factor Differential correction factor Total correction factor" supposed to do in the last link? Account for slippage?

And I do use Fbody.org's gear site a lot.

Re: Misc Thread VI: Return of the Threadi

Yeah STi's are common, depending on who you hang out with. Either kind. But i'm more impressed by STi's than Testarossas. Or any type of fast Mercedes 8) V8/V12 != H-4 But after 6 months I see usually the same STis and WRXs around. And regular I4's do have balancing shafts. At least lots of them. Ot...

Re: Upshifts too smooth?

I thought PS/you established that the rev hang was due to "engine braking assist" and could be avoided by rolling off the throttle slightly later (to avoid a slight engine braking period), which is counter-intuitive.

Re: Misc Thread VI: Return of the Threadi

You know, we're about halfway though winter and honestly I'm quite over this whole cold and snow idea. Meanwhile here in Los Angeles it was 81º ... Why is it still warmer on the coast than inland? Anyway I'm over the whole 'random heat waves in the middle of witner' followed by frost thing too. At ...

Re: Post your desktop!

Slightly shrunk, and from October. A few more icons have been added since. Maybe I should add a car theme... but extra car obsession isn't always good, plus the fact that I almost never see the desktop.

I think 3k rpms would be 100 mph on the firebird.
Well based on simple math, 3000rpm would be 96mph.

Re: Wanted: 1999-2004 Ford Mustang GT 4.6L, New Edge SN-95

Just wondering Leedeth, why do you want another car other than just finding a good deal? I forgot the status on your MX-3 and what your dad decided to do with it but if already bought the Firebird, I don't see why you'd suddenly want to change tack to a Mustang.

Re: Misc Thread VI: Return of the Threadi

I actually went to 4chan /b/ to see the crap with my own eyes. That entire day when I wasn't posting here at all? My brain trying to recover from it. Similar to MySpace, 4chan /b/ seems to be the internet cesspool of humanity. Except where MySpace harbors a lot of idiots who don't know how to use t...
