Tirefryr

Well, pretty much our entire city is shut down. Almost all businesses are closed and they've declared a state of emergency and nobody is to be on the roads. WTF? It's only snow and the only reason there are accidents is due to people's own stupidity. Now we will have to work Saturday. WTF? This is NORMAL snow. Not a big deal.

Are you digging out too?

Put cardboard down and do it in the house. You can thank Sean for all this snow, he figures since he can't ride he does not want the snow! If I could do it without having a lingering odor of gasoline in the house, I would. Worst case scenario, I can drive up to work and grab my single stage blower.

My tanks on my Mark are leaking and I have a new rad, stat, all hoses and stat housing/oil cooler seal to replace. I've been limping it the past several weeks adding a half gallon of coolant weekly. Last Friday I forgot and woke up late. Started the bitch and got in 10 minutes later to go to work and no heat. It was -4 at the time. Good thing work is only 3 minutes away.

I have to go out and tear the carb apart on my snow blower. I have no garage, just an overful shed with no lighting. And it just keeps snowing, so I truly don't see the point in snowblowing anyway. I move this new 6" we got over night and I have to do it again a few hours later.

Going through I don't think they meant you were bashing the company/nick but others. I don't see how they're being sarcastic. Impious, tirefryr and shizzzon were trying to explain. M5 was the only one being sarcastic and was only doing it because tenacious is annoying and ignorant. I don't understand why you guys don't listen to these guys... Zero tact and constantly talking in circles rather than being direct. Discredits whatever they see fit without truly explaining why everyone else should discredit. They act as though they're %100 right, but fail to fully disclose why they are correct and someone else is incorrect. They scream tolerances and calibrations yet never give any real numbers. They never ask what the given tools tolerances are and if they have been calibrated or when the last time they were calibrated. Just because you have technical training behind you and some real world exercise, doesn't mean you have the right to discredit everyone else. It's easy to sit behind a computer and seem all so intelligent. There's a common factor of why a lot of people don't like this forum. Maybe you should go and seek some education and then you might understand just how much money, time, equipment, etc... goes into testing, measuring, certifying etc. Right now it seems that all these guys are "talking circles rather then being direct" but you clearly do not understand this subject. Once you go out and find the necessary knowledge, then you will realize how right these few guys are. Until then, argue on and have fun!! I more than understand this subject. This shit is simple, yet you tech team dick riders and "tech team" want to make this complicated. Maybe you should take some laxative and the rest of the tech team to get rid of the bull shit you guys are full of. I swear you guys could ruin a wet dream because one of her nails was .05mm too long. Yet, every post you make shows how little you do understand and your inability to comprehend. If you understood what was happening and comprehended what has actually been discussed and challenged here, you would never have posted. You keep stating people are typing in circles, yet the ones whom keep complaining about it are in fact the ones doing it. Everything has been explained to you; you just won't allow yourself to understand it as you would have to admit to yourself that you don't really know as much as you think you do. Don't get upset, this happens to us all. How about taking a step back, and just thinking, these guys ARE right and why they are. The simple fact is, the man who did the "testing" and posted this information is simply a hobbyist. His results can not be relied on, yet many people whom don't understand this WILL rely on his "testing" simply because they don't know any better. As long as there are uncontrollable variables, the "testing" is pointless. If ANY of us conducted this "testing" in a similar matter, the "tests" would also be invalid. If these "tests" were being conducted by a lab, by a professional, all testing parameters would have laid out, explained, and discussed in length before any testing had begun. Than and only then could the results be relied upon and only after many amplifiers had been tested not just one or ten.

Sweet truck!

Being a business in this market I'm curious.. I don't think you guys make amps but let's say you did. You spend a shit ton having it properly tested and this guy goes telling everyone it does xx and spreads it like wild fire. Would you question his methods then? Im with you there but on the flipside, why go through the trouble of multiple people questioning the method with no input on what would be the proper pieces to use. it would be the same as going to the optometrist and him telling you your glasses are wrong but not giving you the information of why it is wrong and how to fix your glasses. No, it would be akin to going to an optometrist's assistant who claims to have knowledge and the same tools as the optometrist to do the same job the optometrist does.

The air ride wasn't working, the DS window switch works intermittently, the return spring on the column for the turn signals is broken, it's got a burr in the rack, and there is a small rust bubble through on the PS quarter. For some reason, the guy thought it needed thousands of dollars or repairs. I replaced the air ride switch with one I had lying around and fixed that, so the only thing I need to purchase is a new rack, and fix the little rust bubble. No big deal here.

The Marauder has a bit more power and it's a little smoother than the 2V, but I have some stuff lying around in the barn for this bitch. I almost sold a drivetrain this weekend, so I'm glad I didn't. Teksid block will take 100lbs off the front, of course this is just going to be a cruiser.

167219. All service records since new and it's been driven back and forth to St.Louis weekly for the past 3 years, not that I'm concerned about mileage anyways. I paid $1800.

Yeah, they don't look right to me. I found some Asantis I like, but in no way am I spending $900/wheel on a sub $2K car.

Screw that.

And that sucks cuz I love big cars with lots of spokes.

I thought it was 05 when they changed the offset? Or was that just on the CV/GM?

03 Signature. The price was too good to pass up. I wish I could find a nice pic of one with some 20" Daytons with white spokes.

SOHC 4.6

What year is yours? This is my first TC. I have one Mark VIII, but have owned 3, and one Mark VII.

Yeah, some door treatment and Anarchy mids.

Just ordered some suede for the headliner and pillars, replaced a faulty switch on the air ride and found a nice set of factory chrome rims on the cheap too. The trunk is awfully big also. Hmm. . . . . .

Bought myself a berfday present this morning.

I have been cooking bacon in the oven for years. I use cookie coolers, place the bacon on them, put them in the cold oven, place oven to 425, set timer to 17 minutes, once time is complete, I shut the oven off, but let the bacon sit in the oven for another 8 minutes. Comes out perfect every time.

It's not cockiness. It has nothing to do with myself at all, so it matters not how I am. The fact is, there are several membera here who understand what is happeningand whom have attempted to explain this so us remedial people can better understand the complexity of the situation. Members whom have more knowledge and experience than those who continue to find ways to contradict this knowledge with ZERO fact and nothing more than what they believe makes sense. I understand how and why you and Kyle think and feel as you do, but you are not seeing the bigger picture here. People are not challenging your intelligence, but simply trying to open your mind and teach you, but you see it as a negative challenge and you block out even the possibility that your own theory or understanding is incorrect.

If you are worried about drone and only drone, no amount of deadener, decoupler or any type or "acoustical matting" is going to take care of it. You need to build something into the exhaust system to cancel out the frequency of the drone.

Nick is doing it because people like the OP, yourself, and MR. Tenacious just do NOT understand what is going on here. You think you do, and no matter what more intelligent people tell you or point out, you continue to think you grasp what is happening. Therefore, his company's reputation is unjustly soiled due to people who know enough to cause damage and nothing else.
