  1. RIP Reggie White. ← Sunday the Pack played in Reggie's honor. They all had '92's on their helmet, and during the game they played some clips from his career. All in all it ended up being a pretty good game. Just thought I would mention that, if no one saw it. I don't know if any other teams did it though.
  2. At work here, we run HP d325's. Nothing special, but it's better than nothing. At home I usually piece together my own systems. All AMD's
  3. I agree with the last comment. If she's harboring these animals in her home, it depends on your city, but you might be able to get her on a law where it forbids you to have over so many animals in your home without a zoo license, or something to that effect. I know in my city, you can only have 4 animals in your home. If you recieve a complaint about more, they will come and take the others away... And I'm sure once they got there, and saw what was going on, they would take further action against her themselves. I realy don't see the problem ending with seagulls though. If she's feeding rodents, they're going to look for shelter during weather fluctuations, and that may very well end up being your home/vehicle/property. Even if you are 2-4 houses down. With the massive quantity of animals that probably visit her property, and the way that animals are, only so many of them will take up space together. The rest are going to spread.
  4. If I were to buy either, it would be a PSP. Although, I doubt that would happen. Nintendo needs to just stop. The DS is the worst idea I've seen for a gaming machine. It's a gimic, along with the rest of Nintendo's product IMO.
  5. It's quite easy to say you would have, or wouldn't have done something, when you aren't the one making the decision. The fact that you are bringing up the Gore election is an absolutely joke. He might've invaded Canada because they beat his favorite Hockey team, or maybe Mozambique because he couldn't spell it. It still comes down to one simple thing... IT DOESN'T MATTER! It's the past, move on. It's a sad thing that troops have died, and the only reason that they have died is because of war. They aren't over there for target practice, weither they should be there or not is actually pretty irrelavant. Second guessing the one that's making the choice is ludicrous. Gore isn't there to make the choice, you're not there to make the choice. And frankly I'd rather have someone there who WILL make that choice. The time for ridcule is over. The fact that you have turned a thread about Asia into a Bush Bashing Thread, is the single most disrespectful thing you could've done. You have zero tact sir.. Absolutely zero.. This thread definitely needs to be closed before it offends anymore people.
  6. Self Employed myself. This is my 3rd business that I've done, the first and second were basically to test the water, and more of a personal interest thing, (an online parts business, and a record label/distro ((VERY VERY Small)) but now I own Boosted Development in southern Wisconsin. I've been doing "Import Performance" since around '95-'96 and that's about it since I started. I've moved around a bit, but I always seem to find my way back home. Much nicer here, IMO. Anyways, we're a small shop for now, 5,000 sq ft. It's our first Winter as being a full service/retail place (as well as my first experience). I started out with a 300ZX TT moved to an Eclipse which was completely built by the end, got into another 300ZX TT, and now to my SC300, which (if money and time allow) will be TT'd by spring. Not really much to say.. I'm also a "practicing Chef, and Semi-active Musician. I've been playing Poker for about 4 years now, and that's about all that consumes my time.
  7. The weather has definitely been off lately. My g/f's parents are under a ton of Snow in NC, yet here in Wi we have nothing. Ohio and Indiana are burried, yet again we have nothing. It just seems odd to me. We barely had a "White Christmas" It snowed enough to dust the roads Christmas morning, and that was it.
  8. I hadn't heard that. That's actually pretty sad. He was a GREAT Defensive End here in Green Bay.
  9. Why is it that someone has to turn a post about an Earthquake in Asia into something bashing the US? That's just ignorant, IMO.
  10. Another option is Toysport, they might have one. They're a little more expensive, but everything that I've gotten from there has been great, and they've always treated us well here.
  11. I have 245's on 8 wide wheels on the front of my 300, so I would assume you wouldn't have a problem with that. I wouldn't put 255's on an 8 wide wheel. In my experience you would be stretching the tire beyond what it should be, and you will end up ripping tires after enough impact.
  12. You're right, it would be effective, anything that sticks off the back of a car, or anywhere else for that matter will effect dynamics and downforce. In my opinion though, that wing will do nothing on that car except draw extra attention from the Police.
  13. Yeah, I missed the Ebay thing when I first read his post.. Ebay kits are junk.. And most anything else from there that can be reproduced.
  14. I sell V-Speed kits through VIS and the fitment is pretty good, I don't know why you would say it's junk. It all depends on where it's from.
  15. Does anyone know what speed you have to be going to even be effective ? Looks like someone bought it at a garage sale , And the wing too !!!LOL ← It would never be effective, it's a FWD car.
  16. You can't really call a turbo the replacement for displacement, because there is no such thing. Forced induction on a larger motor in theory is going to make more power to a certain point. The only reason I like the idea of a 2J over a V8 is one, I don't want a pushrod motor, and two I like the powerband a lot more on a 2J than a V8. I don't want something that has 1,000 lb ft of torque and I can't get traction with. Where as I can build a 2J to have less power, be just as fast, and still drive it everyday if I wanted.. I've never seen a person with a 350 that twisted to 9 grand, had the useable powerband of a turbocharged engine, and drove it everyday. It's driveability, useability, and personality in my opinion. If I had a 1U motor, I would stroke it and supercharge it. Either that or make the room for a TT setup. That's what we were planning to do with our 1U that we have sitting around the shop. It was a dealer warranty motor.. Heads were junk, so we bought the block.. The block only had 3,000 miles on it, we were going to finish putting it together, and drop it into a tube chasis 90-93 Celica after turbocharging the block. Something that we've always wanted to do, but never had the time or the funds to really put the motor together. Can you imagine a small sheet metal, tube chasis Celica with a Twin Turbocharged 4 litre.. That would be a monster.
  17. That's perfect. Thanks man.. I'll go start waiting now! :P
  18. I say the same thing.. Drop a 2J in.. That is unless 1500 hp isn't enough for your street car..
  19. Well, I wasn't really trying to argue the credentials of anyone. I was being over bearing and forcing my views on only buying from reputable places, (which I find to be a good practice) and in my post I made the comment of a place that I find reputable. And he had to defend wherever it is that him and his friends get their motors from - saying they are. Which they probably are.. I've had customers bring Nippon up before, so I'm sure they aren't ripping people off. Anyways, due to my comment about a place selling something that cheap is probably trying to pull a scam of some sort. Which was probably the wrong way to word it, but <shrugs> I can't go back and change what happened in the past.. I'm one flux capacitor short of a time machine. EDIT: I really don't think they're the same place.
  20. You just forgot the question mark. And no, it isn't a crime. It's good that people contribute. I'm just really tired of everyone thinking they can find the better deal, and then whining when they get burned after being warned. If you find a better deal, and it's a reputable place that you feel comfortable with, by all means.. Go for it.. As you should, but even if you think they're reputable, and your motor comes with red ribbon and a pillow mint, I would rather spend the extra money and purchase from a place *I* feel comfortable with. That's basically what my point was. Not to try and discourage you from posting.
  21. Yeah stick it in an envelope and mail it to me! ;) I'm sure a couple stamps would do.
  22. haha Those look like Wisconsin plates.. Probably are.
  23. Not to sound like a jerk or anything, but what does our opinion have to do with having an open mind? If someone doesn't like something, they just don't like it. Opinion has nothing to do with being close minded. Especially when it comes to someone's car. "Hey, this looks like crap, but I think I'll put it on so the kid down the street thinks I have an open mind.." ...That just doesn't seem logical to me. EDIT: Quoted the wrong person. haha
  24. Well, if they're very reliable and reputable, then why even ask? You should've ordered it already..
  25. Toysport is the only place I would ever purchase a Toyota motor from. As for Honda motors, HMotors Online is the only place I would use for them. Reputation is everything, and any place that is selling a 2JZ-GTE for that cheap, especially with "free" shipping is probably trying to pull something over. Market value is what the motor goes for, and when there's demand the price is higher. A B16 is worth probably 900 bucks, but since everyone wants one, they're expensive.. Same with a 2JZ-GTE. The motor is probably worth about 2,500-3K, but since it's a highly sought after motor, the price is higher.
