  1. something else completely off the wall if you're still having any bouncing/wobble... check the shocks/coils... I'm having the same problem in the front and have finally diagnosed it as being the coil/shock going worse than bad ( yeah they can go that far! lol ) and they're causing a funny bounce/wobble on the driver front.... I blame country roads.

  2. Phil.

    thanks for the compliment.

    the suspension is mostly stock, front end has drag race shocks, small block springs, tires are bfgoodrich 205/70/15.

     

    rear has lower lift bars, heavy duty springs, stock upper control arms, tires are hoosier 295/50/15.

    Gotta love those expensive 295/50/15!!! lol though your front tires are bigger than mine, I'm running 205/60/15 now... A bit less clearance to the ground but with those air shocks on the back, I have a very intimidating stance, with a slightly intimidating 355 LOL

     

    Though, don't get me wrong yours is scary :P

  3. Not only can a torrent download be a bad thing.

     

    But unless it is properly and carefully configured along with a firewall you are leaving your PC open to those that know how to exploit the open ports that torrents use to function.

    I forget to add the important details like that sorry lol but it's ok cause no one here does anything bad like that... RIGHT! no

  4. yeah mine is a single... lol to lazy to actually build mine up anytime soon... but even with ALL my music... Movies... and games... Not even a quarter of it used yet! drives me nuts lol I just wanna go downloading all kinds of random things half the time!

     

    Oh yeah... Stay away from torrents people... some are ok but some are... BAD!!!... better to just not touch them

    ditto

     

    You would not believe, or maybe you will, the things we find on Govy computers. Even with firewalls, IDS, HBSS at all levels of the NOCs and the ship itself running. And pop up pron still manages to get the lan infected with a dummma$$ user..

     

    I would understand that, and believe it! I knew a lot of people who would specifically target government computers. of course a lot of them got caught and prison but still... as for the unsafe browsing... I've had to help my wife with her laptop and fix it several times when she's doing random google image searches. looking for a flower tattoo design she clicked a flower she liked and bam! started random pop-ups all over the place! called me in there and just kinda took the battery out before it could actually do much more damage. put it back in and started it up and had a partial in it which I cleaned out.

     

    My comp with 1TB of space (yeah ridiculous amount!) has no anti-virus software on it but I've yet to have problems... funny considering I have a bad habit of downloading roms (old games for like the Nintendo and sega and some playstation). Most of the rom sites are REALLY bad! just watch the links very closely and examine what you can when you can to be sure you don't get hit.

     

    Now, I don't advise this method. trust me I've been through my share of viruses on other comps I've owned... but I've come a long way on the knowledge of random internet hate lol

  6. lol! I may be able to help... depending on what kind of script... I used to write LAU for online games... ok lemme fix that... for botting online games :P

  7. hey fred. you know lots about computing. Why not get the GreaseMonkey add on and make a script for it to give time stamps to the shout box? I can hunt down some similar java coding using firefox... but that has to wait unfortunately...

  8. that is exactly what i was thinking! but i was lookin g at my fuses and there is a open prong chillin there and i dont have a test light......... guess only one way to find out. sand it get some fresh metal showing stick my tounge on it and start the car........ill let you guys know how it goes laugh

     

    kicking let us know! please! lol it's only around 12 volts right? it shouldn't be SOOO bad... just clean it first! no one likes ground metal shavings! :P

  9. if I remember correctly... I have it hooked to my radio! but I can't be precise at the moment because my wife is driving it to work at the moment.... but yeah, either radio fuse or ACC fuse...

     

    I consider the radio not a bad choice because... well... the radio only comes on when the key is on and stays on while the key is on. So why wouldn't it be a good candidate? lol buncha trial and error for me a lot of the time!

  10. I may be able to help in this aspect! but umm, I'm not sure what engine you're running...

     

    but I can tell you my setup. 355 with a mild street cam. 600 Edelbrock (1406) carb (tuned for fuel efficiency oddly enough) with electric choke (simply run one wire from anything that starts up when your ignition is on and running, then run a ground), also aluminum edelbrock intake 2101.jpg

    Looks a LOT like that smile

     

    I will gladly get picture when I get back from Indy today!

  11. wire could have gotten weak over time if he had the battery connected while it sat, keeping a current running through it. a very small gauge of wire will wear down faster normally. So said wire could have just run down and died lol. It was that same wire actually that sucked my battery dry! maybe I was right then smile Glad to help! lol

  12. Am familiar with Hijack This.

     

    There are several other dedicated rootkit detection\removal tools.

    None are for the novice.

     

    Everything I read still says the only 100% sure way to be rid of them is a total reformat.

     

    I loved using Hijack This. I've saved about 3 comps using it lol and one comp was a completely lost cause... something had gotten into it and fried the motherboard... stupid mice... lol I couldn't save that one!

    I was actually referring to the factory bumper jack at that point... wink

    EDIT: I see you say you have air shocks so the factory jack wouldn't really work unless you let the air out.

     

    I am going out to the garage right now and am gonna jack it up by the differential and let it idle in drive...I'm looking for a wobble in my right axle. Talk about nervous, even with the front chocked and blocks under each shock mount I still expect the car to take off through my garage wall... lol

     

    I didn't realize you were talking about factory sorry lol

     

    But yeah what you're about to do is what I was doing, except my wife was in the drivers seat giving it gas cause my leak would only happen when it moving down the road... so... being under that car when it's pushing 2500 rpms and laying under the exhaust... wear a mask man, that stuff will give ya a headache lol

  14. My jacks can't reach the bumper on the back... Airshocks! I like a high setting back end smile

     

    I've always used the diff, and without to much worry either... but I've only has to jack the back end up about... 3 times...

     

    I was looking for a tranny leak and needed the transmission in gear and moving so.... ya know... that made me REALLY nervous...
