welp got a huge reminder of what its like to be used for your knowledge and skills last night. Time to start finding out whom my actual friends are
Damn that sucks.... Well I had a great dinner then message and didn't have to cuddle with my girl!
Happy ending cancam?
Ron - any reason as to why you are not going with the Aster tensioner over the SDCE tensioner? Tried to quote your post in the September train, but it was closed already.
I think this got lost in the Sept train....so.......
I got a couple of questions that I feel I could get a quicker answer here vs starting a new thread for a 2-3 post answer.
NGKTR 55 vs KGK TR 55IX
1) Any difference between the 2 besides cooper and Iridium? What I mean is which one better for me. (Mods in signature) I got TR55 now, but from what I read the Iridium burns hotter and quicker.
2) Is it to soon to change my plugs? Last time was 33,000 (2.5 yrs) ago when I first got her. But at the time she was stock and well look at the signature.
I think most people run the copper plug over the Iridium because of the price difference. The Iridium will last much longer, but they also cost a lot more. It's usually a good idea to change out spark plugs every 30,000 miles or so, but some people are anal and change them out at every 10,000 miles. So with that said, you can see that having the Iridium doesn't benefit you much even though they are claimed to last 100,000 miles. No one waits that long to change them.
I really don't know if there would be a benefit for you to have one over the other with your mods.
I could be way off here too :lol:
Working out and Posting on the internets before I go in and work 2:00 to 11:00. :(Quote:

Drat showed up for my job interview 25 minutes early. Guess I'll kill the time on here :lol:
I think the IX is a cooler range plug. I ran them in my previous motor and had no problems.Quote:

Also, just a little plug for my cousins band. They got a CD out now and there's samples on the site.
My favorites are In Your Hands and Closer.

back from my honeymoon... :D
How was it?Quote:

Sadly the world is filled with douche bags like that, it never gets better as you get older.
I can count on one hand my friends I can count on. I guess thats why I'm on here alot...
yup ive made some good friends here, only 5-6 of which i have ever met in person :lol:Quote:

Had an awesome time last night. Hung out with some friends from high school and enjoyed some Dos Equis, and, for the first time, sampled some Jaegermeister and Jose Cuervo. Good stuff. :beer:
:yup:Quote:

The sun was out for about 20 mins and now it looks like it's going to rain again. Rained off and on all day yesterday and the day before that. Mother nature must be mad or on her period.
Sun is out again. Mother Nature must be high because she can't make up her damn mind. :lol:
She's schizophrenic :lol:
Or just a typical woman....:hide:
Walt is 100% correct yet again.

I use Iridiums for that reason alone but, they do perform very nicely in my WS6 and my bikes.

Friday night went to a Hawk's game. This weekend has been fricken awesome.
About to take the SS out for a spin as the weather is cold, yet sunny today. Not sure how many more sunny days we are going to have.
Sunday hello
damn it... the weekend is almost over... tomorrow i go in to work and find out that i have to do not only my work that was not covered but also my coworkers job as well... ever want to push a rest button???
She ain't broke by no means, Iridiums last and perform.Quote:

I find things to work on with my scoots or my car.
Still though, changing plugs on an LS1 is phuucked....
Got the 65 wired up today. But the parental unit never showed after telling me he would several times this weekend. Just need a starter and fluids and hopefully I can get this beast fired up.

Iridium plugs have been proven to run hotter than coppers and cause detonation because of that. They're appealing to people who don't like to pay a shop to change "easy" stuff like plugs, but still don't like to do it within recommended mileage. It's like not replacing tires when they get low on tread and saying "I'm fine", but they're the people that end up in a ditch wondering what happened when it rains heavy.Quote:

Honestly, the plugs aren't that bad. I can do mine in around 20 minutes. Preventative maintenance > fixing something broken. /thread.
That's another thing I love about my car. Everything is in plain sight in the engine bay. :D
My A/C Delete and Coil Relocation make my plug change time sub 5-minutes...I think I spend more time trying to push the wire boot onto the plug than actually installing the plugs themselves. #8 is still the hardest though :brick:Quote:

Ah. It's called the Centennial Edition option for the ZR1 and Z06. Very nice!!
I will never own a ZR1 :lol:
Great Sunday!
Lions, Tigers and Wings win. Good thing basketball isn't playing, lol.
Well...your SS pretty much does.Quote:

So, may you all have fun unpacking winter clothes and may Santa Hallow (If someone got to make up Santa Claus I get to make this dude up for us) bring us all less worries and tons of time for snuggling under warm blankets.... specially less worries. Happy Toothless Pumpkin Month!

Bella we've been working all last week to get the stuff ready to put up. Got about 1/3rd of it yesterday. I'll post pics once it's all done.
I'm never happy till I get either a kid to piss their pants, someone faints, or drops their candy and runs away screaming.
Since moving down here I'm 4 out of 4. :chuckles:
It was lovely. We are not telling.... It is nice to have places to get away to. ;)Quote:

I'd be amazed if I broke 10's. Don't think I'm quite there...YET.
Best I've cut is an 11.9x with a 1.6 60' @ around 121 mph. That's at around 450 hp. Jeff did just run a 12.4 on a stock engine though. You never know John, till you run it.....
I know Walt. Scheduling and weather hasn't permitted me to do so. Plus, I don't have tires for a worthy run. I'd be wasting my time trying to run it with these shitty Nitto drag radials on it.
Tell me about it. I couldn't get below a 2.2 60' on my streets. Waste of my tires, but the crowd liked the smoke show :lol:
Hmmm is a 1.50 more an hour worth going from a 4 mile commute and not much hours (flat rate) to a 30 mile commute with 4 bucks in tolls round trip and possibly double the hours
I get a 1.00 raise just for moving out :lmao:
Well $1.50/hr more = $240 a month with a 40/hr work week. Take out taxes (typically 25-30%) and you are left with say $168 a month after-tax. Considering tolls of $4/day would equal $80 a month, assuming 40 hours are worked in 5 days. So, just working a typical 40 hr work week you'd be left with an extra $88 more a month.Quote:

Now if you worked overtime, then you would need to factor that in.
