    Well, the beater goes back to the tranny shop tomorrow.  SOB been shifting hard as hell on both up and down shifts.  It's kinda cool cuz the shock causes massive tire spin, but it's seriously starting to break some stuff.  Thank God for warranty work.  Put the scanner on it and had 26 different tranny codes.  All were related to the TC, and they charged me for a new one.  Hmm. . . .  Guess I need to learn how to rebuild transmissions now.

    Trannies are not what I would call fun to take apart. Well rephrase that, put together.

    It's not applicable to all alts, but expect an email.

    Don't want to high jack, but do you wanna copy me too fryr? Or start a discussion post in the Auto section.

    As for your alternator, you may get close enough finding an Infiniti model that will bolt in, my guess is that they would be significantly larger and probably okay and better at idle. Not sure on the rice burners, but Lincolns definetely come with a bigger version than their Ford counterpart. Worth looking into, but I know nothing of the new Infinities. Loved the first Q45's though, just unbelievably expensive to fix.

    I am the opposite, I can't stand to take my hands off the keyboard to touch a mouse. Still using the original Windows 3.1 shortcuts...XP still supports them. Might be one of the only things they haven't butchered on the way.

    Can't figure out the dam "ADD REPLY" shortcut on this site though

    I've used Foobar for a while now, still trying to figure out how to adjust all the settings - it's really, really configurable which leads to a steep learning curve.

    Yep, but you can preset to your hearts delight.

    How long before car/home players will play double layer DVD with FLAC do you think? From the reading I have done it seems like a logical next step.

    Posted this in the hop since there was some vinyl talk this morn, but need some help in figuring out how to finish the vinyl off after it is stretched and glued to the front. There is no place to "staple" the vinyl to the back of the pods so how would you attach it? I have never done this before, but have some really stretchy vinyl and 3M 77 Spray adhesive (and others, but thought this was best).

    Any recommendations on how to finish or attach the vinyl to the backside of the tweeter pods? As a reference for size the whole is less than 2" and the edges of the pod are about a 1/4". These will be mounted in the stock sail panel locations.

    Hey speaking of vinyl, I have to cover my tweeter pods (hopefully in the next couple of hours) and can easily stretch/glue the vinyl over the top, but don't know how to fixture it on the backside.

    Here is a pic of the pod. To give you a size estimate the cutout is less than 2", the thickness of the plastic/glass/bondo sides are about a 1/4" thick. I just don't know how to terminate the vinyl around the outside or trim it.

    What should I do?

    Just about any game does that for me. Besides the crap games you gey with windows

    Running WMP slows it down a considerable amount. Good reason i dont listen to music while browsing the internet

    Easy to fix. Download Foobar. Much better than any Microsuck product, written by the guy who developed WinAmp after marketing took it over and allows you to convert, play and do about anything. The play mode doesn't stress the cpu at all.

    Another side note for you rippers, if you aren't using Exact Audio Copy to convert to FLAC you are losing a lot of information and don't have good copies. WinAmp with a FLAC converter completely butchers non-perfect CD's. Need direction let me know.

    Sid Miers is a god eh?

    How is Civ 4? I was thinking of grabb0ring it since I finished Black & White 2.

    Oddly addicting ... I can't seem to stop playing :P

    FYI, you need a lot of RAM ... Takes up 384 MB with 5 players halfway through the game ... I tried playing with 8 players and it was using up 425 MB of RAM and 3.86 GB of Page File by the 1600s (30-60 seconds between turns for my computer; 2500+ overclocked to 2035 MHz, 512 MB of PC333, highly overclocked GeForce4 MX440, overclocked AGP slot) :faintthud:

    This is the only game I've had that has stressed my computer to a point where it's noticably slow ...

    What sort of clock speeds can you get out of the MX440?
