New girl? I think you just may be the only one! Welcome to the club- Alternatives for relays?
I think what you read before is in this thread: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...?showtopic=4685- Welcome to the IHoP
One suckered my buddy, then two guys followed him to get at my buddy, both of whom didnt see me coming... on their asses they went. Cut open my hand when I hit the one guy... didn't even feel any resistance when I hit him. Next I had 5 guys jump on my back, received two weaksauce punches. I grabbed 2 of them and threw them onto the street. One guy got me in a headlock, and picked the pucker up and shook off the other 2 off of my back, and slipped out of the headlock, threw him back... and it was broke up. A little mark on my left side of the temple, a little bruise on the right side, sore ear from slipping out of the headlock, sore neck from the same, and the cut on my hand was all I received. First time I have been in a fight since I was 17, lol, and I don't think these punks knew wtf was happening. All little guys, with what seems to be a small penii complex that couldn't fight... Good thing my buddy didn't jump back in... he is trained in Brazilian Jujitsu & trains at one of the local MMA clubs.- Welcome to the IHoP
I had an interesting night... Leaving the bar, me & a buddy of mine were jumped by 10-15 wannabe gangbangers.... I think there will be a few of them with very sore faces today... because they weren't very successful.- My Winter Project
Forged rods and good pistons.... 20 psi on 9.2:1 has been done many a time, all about fuel and having good internals.- Welcome to the IHoP
D/l'd foobar. I like! Minimialistic, which makes me like it even more. Works great with the Mozilla FoxyTunes plug-in.- Welcome to the IHoP

Going home tomorrow... after 6 weeks on the road!!!!- Discussion about capacitors, and charging systems
Hmm, I thought there would be a little more interest- Welcome to the IHoP
Overrated. They eventually slow you done. You want boots of escaping.- Welcome to the IHoP
I drank my drinking boots off. O boy, work tomorrow, is, going, to, kill, me DIES DIES DIES- Welcome to the IHoP

Course of Action? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> maybe pirate4x4 style... Right now I have contacted the company he has been doing side work for, to let them know, and see if I can get updated contact information. If they do not proceed to give it to be, a little mud-slinging, since they are a respected SRT-4 vendor.- Welcome to the IHoP

I didn't get into the hobby for the money Seriously, probably going to be something I'll keep around for a long time.- Welcome to the IHoP
I found where the pucker than ran off with over $1k of money from members from Neons.org has been working...- My Winter Project
Not my thread , post away, I am curious what everyone will be doing Who is your friend? Also... I am planning on running 10psi daily, with runs up to 20psi on occasion- Discussion about capacitors, and charging systems
Thought I would post this little bit of theory that I discussed with Mattdog from Neons.org tonight. I would like to see if anyone has anything to add/discuss further? Typical 4ga stranded copper wire has approximately 0.000292/ft of resistance, so for a typical 20ft run of wire to the trunk, that equals 0.00564 ohms. Pretty much negilible, the fuse will have more resistance . A battery like the Optima Yellow Top runs approximately 0.0028 ohms of resistance. Battery resistance changes with temperature, but in the case of a gel-cell deep cycle, that battery temperature will be more stable than the typical lead-acid during use. Deep cycle batteries also have less resistance than the common lead-acid, but even the lead-acid batteries out there have less than 0.01 ohms. Resistance will also increase with age, and how well they were maintained/kept charged. All variables, but again, pretty much neglible unless the battery is very old and was allowed to be discharged regularly. A battery will discharge at a very fast rate, and for a reasonable amount of time, for example, the Yellow Top will discharge 750A for 30 seconds at 32F, with no charging available, before dropping in voltage below 7.2V. Yikes huh. Now, the esr of a good cap, such as the original stiffening capacitor will have a resistance as low as 0.0001 ohms @ 120Hz (typical power supply hum). But, there are some caps out there running up to even 0.1 ohms @ 120Hz. With a capacitor like that in the electrical path, it is a considerable amount of resistance in comparison to everything else in the path. In cases where there is a slight hum in the voltage path, a capacitor such as one with a very low ESR and ESL will provide the filtering needed to remove the hum in the line, but, in alot of cases, this isn't needed. Only way to know is to monitor the dc level. Problem with determining which capacitor to use though, is that next to nobody will release specs on their capacitor's ESR & ESL values. :roll: I have also read some individuals that state that batteries do not provide current as fast as a capacitor does. I do not know where the idea that a battery is slow to respond to instanteous current demand comes from, nor why people say that a capacitor will provide current faster than a battery will. They will provide current no fast than the other, at the speed of electron flow. Sounds alot like some people talking about skin effect on dc lines A capacitor is as simple as a filter, no more, no less. All depends on how good the diode bridge is within the alternator, and how well the regulator controls the voltage. Some are better than others, personally, something like the Neon runs, where the PCM has an internal regulator is a better design, and less prone to electromagnetic noise than an external regulator on the alternator housing.- My Winter Project

chit, I would've done it. You = busy with work though. Beats 2500 miles <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My weekends are pretty slow... no work to speak of. If I had a car, and a birth certificate with me (no passport yet), I would have gone. Can't really take a rental, would cost me my left nut in mileage charges.- The Little Black Box
lol, could have told you that there isn't nearly enough port area - new girl
