    COLLEGE!! which one? engineering as possible major

    Come up to Canada :) I'm working on my master's of applied science right now, and just graduated with a BEng from UVic in BC. The engr dept. is tight knit, lots of opportunities for co-op work experience (it's mandatory here making the degree 5 years), and many leaders in the CEng/EEng fields...

    Just waitin for a good one...

    I've never had power steering problems before, but that sounds like the pump is bad. Do you have access to a garage by any chance? You can usually find a BHG supra with a decent shell for 1500-2000, then with the extra cash you can fix it up nicely with some minor upgrades. Just don't get one...

    NashMan build up

    Well, in typical NashMan style, diegrinder in one hand, beer in another :) Oh, and check out the ghetto mod to prevent moisture from getting into the compressor...hair dryer!

    2007 Mk3 Calendar ::FINISHED::

    Seems to only be with us Canadians. I ordered mine 2 weeks....but oh well, this always happens when ordering stuff from the states. Gotta make sure that it sits at the border for a bit :)

    I want to fab my own FFIM, any build up pics?

    Well, hopefully I'm not mistaken but short runner is the wedge shaped ones, long runners are like a big old log :) Going purely from my thermodynamics knowledge, the short runner will provide a more even intake pressure per cylinder than the long runner. This is because as the air flows into...

    Intercoolers: internal fins or not? Which is better?

    is your spearco replica and end to end IC, or is the in/out both on the same size like with the stockers? You might have to redo your IC piping... Oh bugs. I've only dealt with trying to get them off of a radiator in the past. I dunno of any easy way except lots of spare time and being careful :(

    +/- on do-luck T1 wing

    Looks like you want to go all out on the kit, so give'r! I'm not a huge fan of the bumper, but at least all the pieces match so it will look good once done. The only thing which looks out of place is the wing... Maybe if you take off the corner pieces of the stock 89+ wing? either that, or leave...

    starting - no crank

    Well if you've tried jump starting it - that rules out battery. If you can push start it and the car runs - alternator/battery must work to provide spark. Sounds like a starter problem. When you turn the key, does it make a "click" sound then nothing? Most common problem I've seen so far is the...

    anyone a programmer or good at c++?

    gcc is more than OK ;) Yeah, I agree that you want to use something a bit more "all-inclusive" when starting programming. IDE's are great for this - Visual C++, Visual Studio, XCode, etc. But when it really comes down to it, you're paying for the debugger aspect of the IDE, not the compiler...
