    COLLEGE!! which one? engineering as possible major

    Yup. The tedium of Cal Poly Calculus is what brought about my taking a break from engineering. The courses were taught by hardcore Math professors who did not believe in using calculators. This meant you'd have to do ~15 problems per night (in addition to all other coursework) -- each one...

    COLLEGE!! which one? engineering as possible major

    As a Re-entry mechanical engineering student, I can give you a few tips. First, if you are interested in mechanical engineering -- you will need to decide to do that from the get-go. You will need to take calculus 1-4 (or 1-3 if on semester system), differential equations, and numerical...

    loosing coolant

    If you did have a leak and happened to have a low level of coolant -- it could also explain it. But you described it emptying the system so rapidly that if there were a leak you'd know what general area it is in (and the only hose over the IC is from the overflow). The only other possibility...

    How to "jack up" an Elise

    I'm sure he wouldn't have put it quite that way if he knew it was going to be for the whole world to see. My understanding is that he was organizing a Lotus meet and now would have to take a non-lotus to it. And his 911 could be a '78 for all we know

    How to "jack up" an Elise

    Yeah.. Unfortunately when you design a car to be as light as possible, it doesn't tend to be as durable or "overengineered" as say a mk3 ;)

    STUCK IN THE MIDDLE

    17 is what, a Junior in highschool? 14 is a freshman... Maybe I was just in a redneck area, but that was pretty common where I grew up... Guys are generally less intellectually mature than girls anyway. Now if you were 22 and dating a 14 year old.... then I'd call you chester the molester...

    Gauging Interest: Whiteline Adjustable FRONT Swaybars (Reign_Maker approved)

    Just found out an interesting tidbit. Whiteline created their original MK3 swaybars in 1997 using IJ's car/swaybars. What a small world

    Gauging Interest: Whiteline Adjustable FRONT Swaybars (Reign_Maker approved)

    With that picture its hard to see what's going on, so I've resorted to one of my world-renowned MSpaint pictures. Unfortunately, it isn't much better. Edit: stole a picture from Dylan Wiggins and circled the swaybar. It's hard to see the orientation, but I think it gives you the idea

    Gauging Interest: Whiteline Adjustable FRONT Swaybars (Reign_Maker approved)

    Just to throw in my $0.02 on this thread. Whiteline has been around for quite some time, and has a solid following. They probably would have a much larger following the US, but they are from Australia and used to have difficult time getting parts to the USA in a reasonable timeframe. This is...

    BS? 15psi @ 2000 rpm with "special" headwork?

    I could get get ~12psi on my upgraded CT26 in 5th gear by 2000rpm (if I floored it at 1500rpm). It started building boost about 1700 and ramped up pretty quick. Still, the time it took to get from 1500rpm to 1800rpm was so long it had no practical purpose -- but the claim seems legit to me...

    The camber is adjustable by the cam bolts that attach the A-arms to the frame, er unibody. I hate to say it, but in your case: Those who can, do; those who can't, teach
