Doh, it's a diesel, normal to run out of steam at 4k. And you might have gotten one with stuck turbo vanes, which will either kill the top end or kill the low end. IIRC my diesel is as heavy as the 4.0 I6, makes the same torque, gets better mileage.

U need to take a ride in a tri golf or better yet a blue tech Benz. And the giddy up in those is neutered bad. Chip them to unlock unlock their balls and the power is wild. We don't use diesel because of politics, nothing else. Some people in Australia tested a new 3.0 v6 diesel Grand Cherokee (with a mild tune) against a 5.7 hemi (I think) and in a 1/4 mile race the diesel was faster.

I love the noise. On both the Jeep (straight exhaust now) and the 4bt powered backhoe.

Priceless !!!!

I can't wait to get a Hurst short shift for the Heep... Manual transmissions are more common in Europe, no? Seems like more of the average cars tested on Top Gear are available in manual transmissions whereas here most aren't if they are that model is fairly rare. Very common.. For instance the XJ with diesel was only available with a manual gearbox.

But they do. Society is full of idiots. This reminds me of our president and prime-minister. They both said at least 6-7 times in the last 3 years that we are out of the recession, only to say otherwise after a few weeks.

I can't wait to get a Hurst short shift for the Heep...

5 days after mine. Cool, 3 hoppers so far with September birthdays

Yay for backpack !

Thanks for the clear-up Aaron !

HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!!!!

Does it have any sort of single player mode ?

Agreed. However, we're talking about 4 12's designed for accuracy, in sealed boxes versus 2 ported BTL's. IMO it's obvious who wins if loudness is the only concern.

'Twas fun 'butchering' a friend in Counter Strike, especially considering he played competitively.

Halo is the bomb! At least in single player...I was never too much into playing LAN games.

Yes, by idiots. I am an idiot . I did that on my kick panels for my first truck. however, my fabric was a super thick material that had a lot of random fibers. It took a hell of a lot of sanding but it was strong afterwards. I didn't see yours either. Seen plenty fails that way tho For me it's either a bajilion layers or nothing. It would be fun to take some pics of the left-overs after modding my kicks. 1/2" fiberglass at places for a pair of 3" fullranges

Ah, high school computer shenanigans. Playing first person shooters across the LAN in computer lab = good times. Used to do that in high-school. And in the senior year we would skip some classes, get the network admin, find a free computer lab and play shooters. It was fun when the principal found us.

Have fun !

I love Rage Gold. I have used it for quite some time. You can also skip a final sand and use a good filler primer like Slick Sand from ever coat. Another trick is to take equal parts filler and resin, mix thoroughly, add your MEKP, then you can brush on the filler and it will self level. You can also pour it on as well, but this may cause air bubbles. Brush-on is the best !!! It cuts a lot of time and effort.

Good point. Time to celebrate tomorrow night

Adrian, did you start your new job celibrations already? Only starting on september 6th...which is conveniently my birthday

Why no mat ? It's simple to add and it's what provides the strength.

2 boxes to build, I was getting rusty

'grats !
