But your pulleys are different from the pullies on a 5-series, 7-series, or 2002.... I'm not seeing the benefit of mixing it all together. Am I not getting something? lol

Miss nothing - this type of service is very model specific - good point

Yes...

i think separate model tech forums work great. there isn't much you can ask that applies to ALL models.

*cough* mod me *cough*

I think it would be better if the forum jump thing was at the top of the page instead of the bottom. Most of the time I just look at the threads at the top of the page, but if I want to go to a different catagory then I have to scroll down to the bottom. It's just a small thing but would help out.

I agree with that 100%. I don't know how many times I accidentally close outta the forum b/c I closed teh window instead of hitting the back button. I guess it will just have to take a little getting used to.

Thumbnails now open in a new window.

We're listening at ub.c, just keep suggesting.

in the rate my car thing....i think it would be a good idea if there was a "specs" thing on there, for like 0-60 times, 1/4 mile times, things like that.....

Hum, but a lot of people don't know their specs. And those who weren't sure might guess causing debates of people saying "your car can't do 0-60 in 3.2 seconds with just an intake" "sure it can, i timed it myself!"...etc

haha, I'm just not sure if the number of actual, realistic numbers, would outweigh the "junk" numbers, ya know?

yah, i c your point.... never though about that.

The other point of that is --why would I want eveyone to laugh at how slow my car really is?

The Mustang guys brag and rag on that a lot among themselves.

I should have one of the fastest cars here-probable low 160's at top end. I'll never see that but I might get close someday on PIR.

BUT there are days and conditions where a wore out 318 may be Quicker than I am. That may not be exactly true but some days it feels like it

And those are the days when FI starts looking really friendly.

I have an idea. Post charts from car mag tests
