But you're blowing co2, you should use a bottle of compressed air

I'm still waiting for Starship Troopers to be done right as well. Seeing a "drop" done like it is in the book would be epic, and without the bug-farts.

My favorite was probably Ringworld, but The Integral Trees was also a classic.

I crack up when the recent news story about how the "Starshot" program is "so revolutionary" and a new idea...

http://theweek.com/articles/619354/h...alpha-centauri

I have pointed out on some of the Space forums that Niven/Pournelle beat them by just a couple of years when they wrote "The Mote in God's Eye" about how another race reached Earth with a solar sail and a giant laser in their home system.

A friend had one of that style when I was I kid. I wanted one so bad I whined about it incessantly to my parents. They didn't get me one because it wasn't practical and I was already too big for it.

It was a bummer but they were spot on. I got a real 10-speed touring bike the same year and my brother got one a year later.

DR86 reporting:
The last recorded driver to break the speed limit in the future.....

I applaud those who actually use some SCIENCE
thee PIPE that goes into cabin doesn't SUCK or blow too much
but it tries...

maybe we can mcgiver something?

Ive been keeping an eye out for a used OEM sound tube...
(hard to get for the amount of people deleting them)
I plan to drill a penny sized hole in it swap it for my stock
and see how it runs...
monitor afr etc..

my guess is that this mini air leak( helps) the lower rpm range..
not so much up top..
It seems to me the community is divided over this sound tube
I like it.
or maybe it likes me?
stop thinking about sounds
start thinking capacity
a LOT of people get caught up in tha MODs
cause its all about the GAINS bro!!!
TUNERS say our STOCK intake is already Efficient
give me any aftermarket intake
AFTER the filter....
I bet you the amount of air it contains at ANY time is smaller than OEM
The whole purpose of an upgrade is to make something better than it came. right

you want more HP?
buy another car more with horsepower then

TUNING and WEIGHT is where its AT
for all motor NA
every little thing adds up

IMAGINE how many hours they spent tuning the stock INTAKE
add a resonator here
there,,
everywhere.. etc

Use your brain, ( while you still can )
your car is what you make it
I refuse to comply
thats why IM in the FUTURE but, stuck in the past...
make it better not worse.
