    It can be (oil pressure sensor, knock sensors, injectors, tranny) You'll really need to pull the engine halfway apart to put it on properly...

    Computer Stuff - Advice?

    After talking to my techy friend (he builds PC's for fun, and also for profit), he's informed me that SOME nVidia cards work with Crossfire, but it's primarily ATI... Really up to you, but nVidia isn't doing too good these days sadly...

    Why did you put the sandwich plate on the turbo oil filter adapter?

    The $2008 Grassroots challenge build-up thread

    Turbo doesn't look that bad actually, just years of PCV buildup... Check the shaft play to be sure, but I'd just clean it up a bit.

    Mine is the classic windows look :rofl: Black and gray. That's what backgrounds are for :D Personally if I was going to go to a massive LAN party and wanted to have the "parade float" as my friend puts it, I'd dual boot with Linux as the looks are amazing but I'm lazy...

    Targa people, would you be interested in...

    You could back em off, but mine where very loose to begin with :aigo: Made a HUGE difference in the way the car handled with the top on and off. Took away most of the targa shimmy as well. Seems to be one of those maintenance things people don't think about...

    Only thing that was tough was the cable routing with my case. Sadly my case isn't as quiet as it should be because of my loud ass PSU... I've heard mixed reviews on the 1TB drives, so yes, definately back everything up just in case. phoenix: Sounds like you like the bells and whistles of...

    cheapest way to build a 11 second still street legal car. or semi street legal

    Old bugs weigh nothing, have the weight where it's needed, and are so stupidly simple there is little to go wrong. Not to mention the tons of performance parts, parts that interchange, and the age so in most places it's just a safety inspection without smog. Oh, forgot the crazy gas milage...

    Personally, I'd ditch Vista as in your case there isn't going to be any advantage to using it. My old setup was the same as this but with an ATi 9600 SE and 512MB RAM. Was able to play Doom 3 and everyone said I couldn't... OS tweaks really do make a huge difference in reducing loads on the...

    I pulled my motor but the tranny won't come off.

    As a side note, this is what I run: -AMD Duron 1.4gig (can overclock to over 2gig when needed) -Swiftech CPU cooler (ditched the Delta hairdryer fan and went with an Antec case fan) -EPOX EP-8RDA3+ Pro Motherboard (nForce2) -1.5gigs DDR RAM (1x1gig, 2x256MB) -Gigabyte GeForce 6800 (came...

    Lifting weights vs Calisthenics

    It depends a LOT on what you're trying to do. If you're skinny and want to bulk up, or if you're fat and want to tone down. A good personal trainer could easily tell you what you need to know...

    Crossfire/SLI setups are finicky and some games absolutely won't support them. Get the best single card you can now, and when you have the cash, buy another one of the same card (as it will be cheaper by then). WoW is more RAM dependant than anything, and RAM speeds aren't as important as...
