How much would it cost to fix the two blown ones?

Cores are about $110/piece from Ksport. I think it cost me just under $240 to buy the two replacements that I did.

So, DIY, probably about $250. With labor, I don't know. I did it myself.

I don't know anything about rebuilding dampers, so I'll have to do some research on it on what it would cost to get it done.

How many miles were put on them before they blew out, and what caused it?

Now, the first one, I really like that center-high effect of having the image all ripped up. And I like the creativity of the screen name. But it was implemented in a way that you can't read it. You can do both, just not overlapped. Your original is a layered image, right? Move the elements around and play with them. Play with the layer merging percentages between elements.

And always keep copies of what you're doing at various stages, or notes about a layered image, with each of the elements set aside.

Image editing can be fun. You're doing great.
Interesting.

Really, I was just stuck doing "training" for a bit today at work. So as illustrated (pun intended), I was doing pretty much anything I could figure that wasn't training.

But John, you said nothing of my quick snapshot of you.

I don't like it. but I love the idea of it.

And the Tunermaxima3000 is stolen from the .org, it's actually as it appears above my avatar.

But yes need to work something better in there.

I see thanks for clearing that up for me Manny. I know nothing of dyno's really.

Well, the coils were bought used. So I have no idea how many miles were on them before they blew. All I know is when I bought them, two of the cores were blown when the set hit my doorstep. The other two were useable, but worn.

I didn't do anything stupid or excessive with them. They just wore out from daily driving. As long as I had them on my Maxima, they just saw highway use and the occasional spirited drive.

No idea.

Auto clusters work w/ 6MTs though

Why do you want a 6MT one?

2) been awhile I forgot google it... same chit on a billion cars.

-Edit, i googled it and found the answer in 10 seconds.... Top bolt, w/ the doodad facing the front or rear of the car.

Bottom bolt will net you more negative camber, top one will net you more adjustability.
Thanks for the info... why u think I want a 6mt one as big black says it's time to do work baby lol

We both said, the AT cluster works with an MT vehicle. The pic I posted and the link I posted were pictures of MT swapped 5.5 gens with their OEM AT clusters.

So, basically, if you're swapping, you don't need to change the cluster.

Most people are under the impression that MD's give lower results, but it's all in how you set up the parameters in the MD. (Weight/coefficient of drag, etc).

Whereas a DJ is DJ, spin the drum and see what happens. The only items that affect the SAE/STD/JIS/DIN correction factors are the atmospheric conditions.

So Dj > all?

With differences that drastic why in the heck do guys even have mustang dynos?
