Taking English comp over was a mistaaaake. This is too easy. So now I have 14 more days of sitting through a class I already know and understand.

Oh well. GPA booster, I suppose.

I had a '97, went through this for a long time off and on, million variables. Eventually had to do the starter cause she gave out completely. After a while the new starter started doing it as well.

Grounded the **** out of everything with 4 gauge and never had a problem since.

It's a common problem on the 4th gen.

So you did this for the yuks, then. Going to actually drive around like that?

Wait... wait... wait a minute. This is one of those conversations where common sense and design aesthetics have absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand. Am I right?

Nevermind. You go play and have fun with your goofy car.

Yeah I'm off to fuel pressure regulator, hopefully that fixes it.

I also have to fix the Crankshaft Pos (POS) sensor wiring because it's chewed up, so after fixing that, and getting a fuel pressure gauge, we'll see what's up w/ the car.

o_0 no hating...but the money you dropped in that max...i promise you woulda been better picking mine up, selling the parts you didnt want and taking that to put into what you wanted..woulda had coils and what not already and no rusted radiator support. new brakes, either w/ the BBK or stock brakes, all maintenance up to date #real****

I'd be lying if I said I never burned my fingers on a hot rotor. I'd even go so far as to say that's a pretty common mishap.

Sure is humbling though, isn't it?

"Hmm, I wonder if this is hot... DAMN IT!!!"

Seriously I did ALL of that crap. CTS, Cam sensors, crank sensors, fuel filter, fuel regulator, etc,etc,etc,etc

All it needed was a fkcuking ground wire.

Do that first my friend.

In the end... That's what matters the most.

So those kids w/ shopping kart wings and home depot body kits think they're cool in HS, because well their friends thinks it's cool, they could give a damn how dumb their car looks but if the owner and the owner's immediate community approves then why give a fck? You're not gonna change their mind anyways....

Hmm looks like the caliper might be seizing up and superheated the rotor causing that.

Might wannnnnn check that caliper just in case. Go for a cruise and park put your hand CLOSE to each rotor/caliper and compare temps. One hot? stickin caliper.

Just make sure your drive includes braking in corners evenly, not just right hand turns or left hand turns.

And obviously the front will be a touch hotter naturally.

That's a great way to look at it, Hustler.

And when you consider the line between silly and sex probably has a 10,000 to 1 disparity, the "1" has to be really, really self-confident in the face of dissent. The kind of self-confidence that's convinced there's sex, where the rest of the world see silly.

You know, like Clashez.

Brett? Um, OK.

In any event, if that's pure sex, I'd rather fap with wheel gap and OEM rims. And of course I can't speak for Brett (you do, though, which is odd), I'm guessing he prefers to fap as well.

Wait... that's a given. Never mind.
