It's just a short one with no sound.

^^^ Right click, Save Target As ^^^

You may want to enlarge it to double size. Makes it alot easier to see since it's kinda dark to begin with.

Sorry Juan, we had to post the dirt :tongue: :D LOL

The Sony DSC-P31 is O.K. during the day, but at night, forget about it!
Not having sounds is pretty bad, but then again, this camera's primary feature is taking still photography.

16.2 in the quarter ??? 16.2 ??? confused here. theres a a20a accord running around in philly running going 15's for roughly $1200. just wondering how that works in terms of HP per $.

Let the guy tune his car I'am sure he could run 15's without spraying after some tuning mabey 14's with spraying not many people that drive 3g's could say that.

It's just a matter of buying the right stuff. I'm sure my car will be hauling even better when I get a custom cam and nos.

ITS ALL ABOUT TUNING PEOPLE.

You can't expect him to just barely finish putting it back together and run at its best..:rolleyes:


And just to let you guys know...... tuning is where you spend the most cash. Especially if you get it tuned using a lambda meter.
Sean
02-03-2003, 01:09 PM
hmm i tune my own shit. and its not that expsensive how ever tunnign it right requires deft sense and a feel for something that hard to quntify.

Yes but you have experience. The rest of us have to go by gut instinct and thats usually wrong. The track is a good way but hard to duplicate the same exact takeoff. Whats left......... dynos which usually run about $100 an hour. Even then they aren't completly accurate. After that tuning with lambda meter which is very expensive.


Its just like everything else, if you can do it yourself its cheapest. Most of us are left with the little bit of knowledge we have to tune with.

But you are correct it isn't that expensive if you know what your doing. For the rest of us prepare to shell out some money for someone to help you that has experience.:)
