  1. I'm not even sure. you wouldn't be able to open your hatch without fuel spewing all over the cargo area. and it looks like it would add wind resistance to an already somewhat poor hatch design. I'm not feelin it. I think the only car that pulls off some sort of odd-ball fuel filler orifice that I enjoy looking at is Terry's blueovalz.
  2. I don't see what the big deal is here. it's obvious that if the two flares are made from two different molds, they will more than likely be two different flares. Time will tell who makes the better flare, and that only means sales for the better production. In the end, even though we have a brother-ship amongst us here, the better flare will eventually be the only one bought by our kin, mainly due to pictures of both surfacing on this forum. Adding another option is not a bad thing. This thread was in regards to options, so if it's options someone wants, it's options someone will get. There are plenty of big brake kits, plenty of control arm setups, plenty of everything. People will buy what they see and like. 280Zforce, you have 16 orders locked. Montezuma so far has none. And when either flare is produced and sold, I'm willing to bet you will have a smile on your face when someone says "I'm saving up money to buy 280Zforce's flares over Montezumas", if he ends up undercutting the price and/or quality. And to be honest, if Montezuma's flares end up being better in both aspects, trust me... we won't complain. That's something both of you guys have to work out on your own if you want them to sell to anyone. Quality vs. Price. I'm sure you'll both do fine. It's fair game, untapped market share. If someone wants to sell RB30's, then they can sell RB30's. It's sorta my fault for not getting them quick enough if people want them fast. Nothing personal, I'm just calling it as I see it!
  3. 5000 is a steal for that car, if you ask me.
  4. epsom salt, or regular table salt? pending the answer to this question, I am a just a bucket shy of seeing if my first replacement contains a wolf.
  5. Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I got my cardboard V500 box, and I can't seem to find the wolf in it. I used a sawzall as suggested, but all I see in there now are what looks to be wire clippings and random connectors used as packaging material, and two nice red metalic measuring cups. one with a small barb fitting, possibly for easy gravity sipping of orange juice. help?
  6. I'm currently running an Opteron 165 @ 2.6 ghz (up from 1.8) on 2 gb of value ram. I was running 2.85 but my computer passed all burn-in and stress tests, but I think the power supply isn't up to snuff or something. Hard to find a good 4gb set of DDR overclocking ram to keep me at 1:1 with 2.8 ghz stable with relatively tight timings. All this on a GA-K8NXP-SLi, which is not the best overclocker. I think to date, I have the highest Air-overclock on this board, as only 1 other person made the attempt with a Opty 165 @ 2.8 as well. As for the Phenom having a math problem. I know of the X3 Tri-Cores. The reason I mentioned the math problem is that there were a number of AMD Processors that actually had a glitch. I believe they were the Barcelona processors that were launched in september or early october. Something to look out for, seeing as the price of the computer isn't that bad, and that would mean it is probably from a line up that came out a while back... something to look out for
  7. you can enjoy it with 280hp, and turbo it when you have more money.
  8. lol. same here. and you should install the AMD DualCore drivers. It was a small package someone tweaked to add stability to the system under high-load. 1 amp seems a lot though. a lot of the fans I have are only like 0.29 amps, unless i'm reading it wrong =/ and one of those fans blew my PWM IC
  9. Neither do the people who modify and edit forum code.
  10. Yep, talked to my supplier too and he's interested. last time he sent 6 in a crate, so if it's closer for some of you guys, I can do it. I also talked to my landlord, because ideally I'm doing this to help him out with his financial issues more-so than my rent money can. So it seems doable in the coming months, just in time for summer =) Updates this weekend!
  11. actually, what you blew was the PWM Circuit (pulse width modulation) circuit. It sends a square wave 12+ signal in various frequencies in order to modulate the speed of the fan. running a fan at 12-0-12-0-12-0-12 volts in 4 seconds moves more air than running a fan at 3 volts for the same 4 seconds, and consumes pretty much the same power. What happened was your fan pulled too many amps for the PWM circuit to modulate. this happened to me too. what you could do is run the power wires to a fan adapter that plugs into a molex connector, and use the signal wire from the PWM circuit (it will still work). your fan can draw as much as 30Amps (which it will definitely not do if it can fit in your case) from your PSU, and use signal wire to control the square wave. my friend made this modification to his computer. I personally don't mind the jet engine sound of my computer due to a stuck-HIGH PWM frequency. it alerts me from another room when something is amiss, and it makes me want to shut it off before I go to sleep (all good reasons to make it annoying for me to use.... that gets me outside and working in my garage instead)
  12. Another thing, wickiewickied240z. you have a car, you work on it. why not just build your own computer? for 650 bucks you could not only have a computer that will be better than the one you bought by a long shot, but you may get a uninterruptable power supply/surge protection unit, a nice case, NAME BRANDS; not bargain bin or proprietary stuff, and it will last longer because the parts are easier to swap in and out because again.... name brands/retail parts market, not retail system rebadging market like bestbuy or whatever. thing about what you've done!
  13. Your phenom has a math problem. I hope you didn't get a chip with the arithmetic logic error. why did you buy a computer from best-buy?? you should go to your local computer parts store and become friends with the owner. get to know his name for all of 10 minutes. ask him where they're from, if it's their first store. how he got into the whole computer trade. offer him a service. share a laugh or two about a blue-screen of death or how steve balmer sweats a lot when he talks about Microsoft products then when you've got your new system back at home, call him and thank him, but tell him you may need more ram. then in a week, call him back, thank him again, and tell him it's ok, you don't need ram just yet. If you can do that... you would have had parts support for as long as he remembers your face or voice. take my advice: TAKE IT BACK
  14. sneezed? coughed? turned the key this time?! what was it!??? lol.
  15. those hoshinos are beautiful. i wish those older wheels came in a 5 bolt pattern
  16. btw peeps. jdizzy can get RB30's as well. price is pretty much same, or less depending on what shipping costs within the US. (from here it goes across the border = tariffs!) If you REALLY need one like... yesterday for whatever reason. He might be quicker, as my supplier is still taking a while to respond. sucks
  17. hmmm, that would mean if i ship 6, i only have to find a home for 4. or maybe even 2 if racinjitter and scottyMIz take two more. will send an email blast again tonight with a link to this thread to show them i means business! *shakes fist*
  18. Hey Tyson, I like the creative direction you're going on I like the old legionary motifs and decorative ornaments myself, as well. Soft spot for them because I find the intricacy and process of designing such items is a lost art. A thing you may want to try with the drop shadow is to give the offset an X and Y value of 0, lower the opacity a touch, and blur it up a touch more. that will put it directly behind the item. drop shadows themselves are getting to be last-decade ish. it's sometimes overused and looks novice. I don't use the dropshadow feature as a drop shadow, i use it as a reverse-glow. try it out, you may like it! Raff
  19. LAWLLLLZ. i didn't even notice they were doing it with a jigg lift
  20. Still talking to the supplier actually. He's taking care of shipping my RB26, so if it's worth it for him, I may be able to store 4 RB30's temporarily. I'll bring it up again. and again. and again.
  21. Its funny how motherboard companies silently started to put inline fuses into certain devices on the motherboards, like ethernet ports. My brother's computer was hooked up to our router, which was hooked up to our modem for our cable hi-speed. One day, a brown-out blew up my brother's speaker control unit for his surround system (replaced entire system for free! thanks logitech!), and it blasted the modem with a jolt that then went through the ethernet cable, fried the router, and passed itself onto the computer. It fried the ethernet port, and that was the only thing on that computer that would NEVER work. had it been a motherboard from a year or two earlier, it would have probably set the motherboard ablaze.
