Yeah, they're the progressive springs.
I think the linear springs might give you more control and consistency over the spring rates, so maybe that's why racers use them. I was looking at my car... When you compress the suspension, by the time the tightly wound coils are touching and the stiff...
I have the thick purple bar on the front of my SS and it works.
Put the car on a table so the front wheels hang over the edge and the chassis is flat on the table. Securely hold the chassis down and compress the spring on one side, the other side should go up a tiny bit. I can just hardly...
What sucks about turbos is you have to initially spend thousands of dollars for the setup though. That was the reason I got into nitrous. A few hours and $500 later my car was more than a second faster than it was the day before. If I had the money, I'd go turbo over anything, but I don't have...
What's wrong with nitrous? Two years ago, I had exactly what would make your skin crawl. I have a 93 Si hatch with a stock GS-R motor/tranny and back then it had a 100 shot. I moved, got out of drag racing, and sold the kit because sooner or later the motor was gonna let loose and it's my only...
Everytime you see a Honda on the road, you should relax and know that it was built at one of the two American Honda plants right here in the United States. Toyota has some plants here too. A Toyota Camry is just as American as a Chevy Impala.
Ok, I lied, mine's an exception. My hatch was...

I just bought this racing sim called Live For Speed because after playing TOCA, I wanted more realism. It is the absolute BEST racing simulation I have ever played...
Ha, yeah. It's a shame they can't make these supposed mini helicopters attack disease. I bet one of those Hellfires would clear up some West Nile Virus in no time!
This site is pretty funny. It's the first result from a 'black helicopter' Google search. According to the site, black helicopters aren't helicopters, they're "lifeforms -- created by New World Order (NWO) agencies via nanobiotechnology." They have a life cycle that starts at the microscope...
This reminds me of something that someone posted on another forum. Some guy posted a topic called "American Beheading Staged?" and a link here saying Americans staged the beheading of Nick Berg. His main point is that Nick was sitting in one of those white plastic chairs (the kind everyone has...
I meant that I wouldn't want to try and time the shot with a timer. I'd want the remote so I could release the shutter at the exact moment I needed to. I use slower shutters for a lot of action shots... like cars autocrossing and stuff. Cars in action look weird with super fast shutters because...
I have the F717 too and it's probably still the best 5.0mp fixed lense camera you can buy. It performs great in pretty much any light condition due to it's super fast aperture of F2.0. However, it's kinda big and can sometimes be awkward. It's not a bad deal considering the shots it'll take...
If it had a 2 second timer, I probably would. It only has a 10 second timer and that will get annoying quick. That would suck for action shots too.
Thanks, Scott. I'll take a look when I go to the mall today.
We sure are getting some nice weather here in Houston though. It's only 80 something degrees and the humidty is low. Just a week ago it was in the upper 90s and the heat index was almost 110. You couldn't walk from the front door to the mailbox without a bottle of water.
We haven't had...
I want a tripod for my digital still camera, but I have no idea who makes good ones and what exactly to look for. I also want a remote so I can release the shutter without touching the camera and possibly bluring shots with slower shutter speeds. I have a Sony F717 and it has the two mount...
I haven't had much time to play it yet, but my dad has played a lot and has gotten pretty far. He got tired of it after a few days. He said it's mostly the same thing... kill some monsters, find a PDA, unlock a new area and kill some more monsters. I think it becomes a little predictable too...
Me too. The only sport they have is the Tour de France and an American has won it the last 6 years in a row. I bet that really ticks them off. It makes me laugh and smile though.
Those darn French. Ha.
I just bought my copy a couple of hours ago at Circuit City for $44. I heard the game was graphics intensive, but damn.. I have a 2.4ghz P4, 128mb DDR GeForce FX 5200 AGP and 512mb of memory and it's still slightly choppy at 640x480. It's a decent video card I guess, but I think that might be...
