Child's play when you know how. The teddy was so hanging on a fishing line and to make the truck swerve and crash, all you do is brake really hard. Works for me anyway.

I haven't seen The Expendables yet and Arnie's back again? Cool! This looks quite good too....reminds me of Black Beauty. Ed always gets a tear in his eye when he sees a Black Beauty galloping away. APrpsM3VOAI

Hiya, beautiful car there. Where's the engine? http://img852.imageshack.us/img852/4004/rx2.jpg

Yes folks, you heard me right. Watch the real in-bed video for your elf! I don't think it did much good for his elf though......... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/45725011#45725011

How much for the wheels? I have an unused full set of polished dial rings if you want them? Could do a deal maybe? I need 19's or I have to sell my big brake kit. Welcome btw!

If I'd known it was your birthday, I'd have bought you those two books, one for today and one for Sunday! Enjoy what's left of it anyway!

Ain't that the pits? Oh yeah, I just got a bottle of Southern Comfort today and I don't even drink. I might just have a pint though, to see if I get tipsy! What's your idea of 'Southern Comfort' Ed? On second thoughts.......

Damn it! I was trying to spell, "Happy Christmas Everybody!" Back to the drawing board again......

Just to clarify the reason to buy bigger brakes as caseys et al were saying - and I apologise in advance for getting quite technical here but you already understand anyway - you need an increased rate of deceleration to the ABS actuation limit, as acceleration is the square of velocity, (or should that be the other way round? Probably not atall!), so the same goes for deceleration, that is, twice the speed requires four times the energy dissipation, so in other words, there is much more momentum in the car for what is only a little more speed and it's momentum that needs to be reduced, since you can slow down to say, 40 but still be carrying much more momentum than the guy next to you who braked earlier (or stronger) and can accelerate out of a corner, for example, while you struggle to stay on the track at the same speed leading in. Think of momentum as another smaller car inside yours, where everything is fine as long as you're both going the same speed but yours is the only one with brakes, (hence the invention of seatbelts), so even as you brake, there's still a separate force pushing you along that needs to be tamed. The faster you accelerate, the quicker the car builds momentum, which is what might catch you out if you're not careful and bigger brakes kill momentum much quicker than small ones. I know you said you'd not use the car on a track but if you did, you could brake later and keep more momentum going through a corner under control, thus giving you the winning advantage. Besides, I have some 356mm D2 8 pots for sale!

I think you're about right with the rotating assembly estimate. The main thing is to start with a low mileage or rebuilt block with new bearings, as you'll have higher rev's with tighter tolerances. ARP rod bolts might be worthwhile but I was told that they're good for 1000hp+ stock. Each engine will be different as it's all down to the weakest link.

What do you normally do with the rest of the victim's body parts, make a casserole?

Whatever makes you say that? Speaking of threads, what are they all for; I mean, does someone's mum knit them all together into a wooly jumper every year or what? Perhaps we could make some scatter cushions or a giant beanbag for Ed to sit on?

Replied but nothing agreed yet so still for sale to interested buyers.

We don't get a Christmas bonus. We usually get a box of 6 cheap Australian wines and a meal at a local hotel. The same one every year for 9 years. This year there's no wine so I can't even make a tenner by selling it to one of my workmates. I've been promising it to Martin in transport all year! I've been with the same Joinery for 10 years and no-one's had a raise for 4 years except one contract manager who changed positions. The previous workshop manager told me that the Directors had gone backwards with the wages 10 years ago and they haven't improved much since. Some of the older guys were on more money in the 80's than they are now. Even the main Contractors are going bust and we're having to ask the clients for the money directly or we wouldn't get paid. Like many people, I'm just thankful to have a job with overtime at the moment, as without it, the mortgage goes backwards. Happy Christmas! K5nOFtAfPNo

Let's have a whip-round for Ed's new sofa? I'm in for a tenner.

Hey Luc, can you get some sort of engine diagnosis from Monsieur One-T? No-one on here can help if they can't understand him. Seems to be running very rich to me.

Je pense qu'il serait mieux de parler votre meilleur anglais, comme le traducteur est rendant pire parfois Je ne vous comprends pas parfois! L'un des modérateurs est le français, ou devrait connaître la langue beaucoup mieux que moi, comme il a grandi là, si je me souviens bien. Il a appelé Lbm ici. Peut-être il peut vous aider avec la traduction?

Some very positive food for thought http://www.pr.com/article/1076 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Louder-Than-Words-Jenny-McCarthy-/170749519059?pt=Non_Fiction&hash=item27c176e4d3 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Healing-and-Preventing-Autism-Complete-Guide-Jenny-McCarthy-Jerry-Kartzinel-/270861812626?pt=Non_Fiction&hash=item3f109f4392

Hi, can they clear stock arches front and rear and 400mm+ for the calipers at the front? Got some D2 356mm 8 pots to fit and been told I need 19's (or 18's according to the manufacturer's info). The front caliper outside face is 30mm from the wheel mounting surface when centred on the rotor so will need a bit more clearance and the actual measured diameter of the outermost part of the caliper is 397mm or as near as I can measure off the car. I'll have them if they'll fit and the offsets aren't a problem, though the front looks an issue?

Sad news unless another buyer steps in soon.... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/45720823/ns/business-autos/

That will be the translator, I think! Presumably you meant sparkplug gap? It looks to me like a basic timing problem caused maybe by a bad ground or over-rich condition, that is assuming that it's all degreed properly? Do you ever get flames from the exhaust?

Your question is more a matter of chemistry than engine strength as no engine can be built strong enough to survive bad detonation. Higher octane fuel and some combustion chamber cleaning up would go a long way, as would ceramic coating of same, after the head work. As for a bone stock longblock, (block plus head/s), like you say, meth injection etc. are your only options above the quoted 9psi. I looked into this myself last year but sold the car before NA/T'ing it. Obviously, better intake cooling will help too, like a really big intercooler. Also, you have to consider safety if you're seriously risking engine failure, as it won't necessarily blow up on a dyno. It's as likely on a motorway.
