has anyone noticed how messed up some of these emoticons are?

Thats just some of them.. O.o

As my stress goes up so does my GI issues.

Stress sucks and the worst part is sometimes you are not the one who realizes that you are stress out.

HA, HA now I think I know where you got your handle, I use to ride ArticCat M5. I rode the M7 after that but I'm 200 lbs so I liked the lower M5 more.

Nope. Never owned a ditch pickle.

I'm 220lbs, but like my stuff to last. Polaris all the way.

My avatar should be a dead giveaway on why my handle is M5...considering it is my car.

I hope thier sleds are better than thier 4wheelers, the sportsmans are junk.LOL

Ha Ha actually the RMK was my second pick back then, havent road in a few years.

I was closer to 250 then also, The m5 handled nice for my fat ass....

I got a 660 Grizzly now.....hold the fuck on.

Is your Grizzly suffering any of the problems the class action is directed at?

Damn, I want to go ride now.

are u taking the new one on the ride?

Of course. Put 400mi on her this weekend. WAY happy. I'd be dead tired had I rode the old one. I am putting the old one up for sale pronto....well almost. I let the BIL drive her and the jackshaft bearing went out. Supposed to go around 2k and mine made it until 3.5k so I don't feel bad. Probably $15 and an hours worth of work so not a biggie, but it won't get done today.

I have to build a garage. Hopefully, I can do it for under $1K.

$1k? How?

Love the baffle, and great work on the backside as well. Super sexy and awesome install. I is teh jealous.

24 lbs of pig butt is amazing!

That's a whole lottta but

Cause you have an iPhone Mark

Your making me want a Droid even more now!!!!!

So go and get one! PS, i'll be texting while talking

lol yeah, well I have service, where I can ACTUALLY talk, even inside of one of those building things

My room mate has that phone, blows my I phone away speed wise.

That is what drives me nuts about those damn AT&T commercials!

On 2 seperate personal events I've had a buddy who owns an iphone use my Droid and say, "wow, your internet is so much faster"

which is amazing considering the iPhone has a faster processor than the Droid (600mhz to 550mhz) and "the fastest 3g coverage". I am obtaining a Mathematics degree but it doesn't take much education to realize that shit doesn't add up.

Thank you cub.

Hey guys, correct me if I'm wrong on this.

Assuming 100% driveline efficiency, an engine produces 14ft*lbs of torque that is transmitted through a 3.83:1 reduction then through a 9:1 reduction

14ft*lbs(3.83)(9)= 482.58ft*lbs to the output.

Reduction multiplies torque, correct? This is for our minibaja and that seems like a hell of a big torque number for a 10hp motor to put out. I assume it is correct because I'm sure if you dyno a vehicle in 1st gear it would have some ungodly torque numbers too.

On that note as well. How does the dyno compensate for a vehicle with different gear ratios in the rear end. I realize it changes what you put to the ground (I think...) but people almost always arbitrarily use %20 as the drivetrain loss but it seems that the same vehicle with a gear swap to lower ratio would generate higher torque at the wheels while the engine wouldn't be producing any more torque

yup, 482.58

but it seems that the same vehicle with a gear swap to lower ratio would generate higher torque at the wheels while the engine wouldn't be producing any more torque

correct; with proper gearing you can get away with less engine horsepower and still have great acceleration

take my E55 for instance: "only" 391 ft. lbs. torque from the engine, but with 3.59 first gear and 2.82 differential gear its able to send nearly 4,000 ft. lbs. to the tires (assuming 0% parasitic loss), and is able to have the acceleration rate of a sports car/muscle car

but it seems that the same vehicle with a gear swap to lower ratio would generate higher torque at the wheels while the engine wouldn't be producing any more torque

correct; with proper gearing you can get away with less engine horsepower and still have great acceleration

or, in the case of smaller cars, using a small engine and still obtaining a reasonable rate of acceleration and (usually) better fuel economy

:nuts: :nuts: :nuts:

MOTHERFUCKING DONE

:dancing: :dancing: :dancing:

And I agree, anything less than 36" doors is torture. We put 40" doors wherever they could fit (making room for a bigget door in a 2ft brick wall isn't easy).

YUMMY!

I always soak my wood in whiskey or wine or some other hooch. I found an amazing way to get it done. I used gallon bags and squeeze out as much air as possible. It means I used WAY less hooch. like 80% less than trying to put it in a bowl or tray. and covering. They seamed more saturated in less time too.

Baffle + port walls, box for an Orion H2 12. And check out my uber cool work bench, I can barely work on anything bigger than the "box" in the pic

Thanks Aaron for the box specs

Are you talking about the post on CA? If so, I may be a little off, as it has been years. But from what I remember they loved a larger box. A little peakiness was dialed out but so was a little of the power handling.

this guy is the man.
