I'd like to say....

[Jasonf860]

Well, I know I'm new to the forum and I really didn't give myself a proper introduction, but I am not new to cars or other forums about cars. I'd just like to take this opportunity to say that this is one of the BEST forums I've been on as far as the general know how, help, and general niceness of all involved.

With my last vehicle, a 97 Ford taurus SHO, I was an active member of http://www.v8sho.com. While the people on there were generally friendly and helpful, most of them wouldn't give a new member the time of day until they had seen your name at least 100 times. That forum is a bit different, it basically captures and forwards emails to everyone that signs up. Very weird IMHO. The website was informative, however, it was seriously clouded by their beef with Ford over the "suspected camshaft defect". Basically put, out of 19,900 cars produced, around 800 known of them had a defective cam gear. There is actually an active lawsuit about it.
What kills me, is although many members of that site have ME degrees and are techs at various dealerships, they really lacked the ingenuity that is so present on the forum here. As with the 3Gee, there is very limited aftermarket support for those cars as well. As an example, there are a few threads on that site about CAI's. Basically all some Mickey Mouse things. Why they never posted about using a CAI from another vehicle is beyond me. point in fact, I used a 'Teg CAI on my Taurus and it worked great. Just took a bit of thinking.
To recap, this site rocks, plain and simple. Everyone I've talked to or dealt with has been cool and helpful and that is not something too common in todays world.
So, I'd just like to say thanks to the Mods and Admins here for providing a very cool and informative site, along with a great place to meet other folks who are just as into our beloved 3Geez as we are!

i agree. ive been on other forums and people really dont care about you until they see over 1k posts under your name. the first thread i made on here i got so many posts it blew me away! shit on the other forums i was lucky to get one post

welcome to the forum if no one has welcomed you yet lol

I agree the people here are a great bunch too talk with and get info from and the ones that I have met I consider friends.
The Ford forums I belong to are nothing compared to this forum...

o i forgot to make a newbie introduction thread.... i should go make one :P

[mkymonkey]

lol...yeah you should...since youre still a noob! hahahah

[A18A]

lol...yeah you should...since youre still a noob! hahahah

fine i will

[Jasonf860]

Well, One thing I can say about that SHO forum, they do some weird stuff. As an example, instead of paying the $ for UDP's, They designed a vacuum accessory kill that kills the a/c & alternator at WOT. Reason being is that if it is not being used, it is not eating up HP. We all know what our cars feel like with the A/C on, wouldn't it be awesome if it shut itself off under full acceleration and came back on when you let off the gas? As for the alternator, i don't know about killing that, but i do know that my Bro runs his 64 Chevelle with no alternator hooked up at the strip so it doesn't draw on the hp. Cool for street use? maybe not, but the concept is pretty cool. I'd like to do this just to the A/C in my car now! Still can't find a how-to for it tho...lol

I changed my Avatar... You thought they were twins before...LOL BTW, I got the delta cam 272 grind. Price was a huge factor, Delta's 272 was near 1/2 the price of the Colt cam, and I, like a lot of others here on the site, would rather have $130 in my pocket than 3-4 ponies under the hood!

[Jasonf860]

Oh trust me, I know how to use the search function!

I like it....

I was talking to jasonf860 .

Legend i think you might of had too many or ...just playing with you dude!..lol

[Legend_master]

ok one of you is going to have to change yor avatar. I completely mixed you up . Both of you are foundation members, with almost identical cars at the same angle . LOL

[MessyHonda]

ok one of you is going to have to change yor avatar. I completely mixed you up . Both of you are foundation members, with almost identical cars at the same angle . LOL

his car is shinier, and its droped. the angle is a bit off but yeah..lol .....thats why i said we had twin cars....lol

[A18A]

ok one of you is going to have to change yor avatar. I completely mixed you up . Both of you are foundation members, with almost identical cars at the same angle . LOL

well i can tell cause Jasonf860 is a different name from MessyHonda :P and there av's, ican tell cause Jasons one shows the tail lights, maybe if he adjusted it to only show the exact same as messys, then ill be like wtf

messy you should change you sig to 89 Accord LX-i :P

[Jasonf860]

Messy, my car only "looks" shinier cause of the lower res on the pic. I will have to adjust the angle so it's a close match to yours and see if I can find a backdrop that looks the same. Funniest part is, I'm all the way on the east coast, and you are all the way on the west! Maybe they were seperated at birth?? LOL

it would be easy to do the alternator one,you just need an rpm activated switch,it uses a relay to turn off alternator field under full throtle. or a throttle switch like one used for nitrous activation. even though the alternator is spinning,it's not causing as much load without the field on. the only problem with that is that your fuel pump and ignition would need the extra voltage the alternator creates while under full load. 13.5 vs. 12. you could get around this,jacobs makes a box that maintains full voltage to an accessory even if the battery voltage drops. it's a little complicated,but basically it's a dc to dc converter. it uses more currrent at lower voltage to maintain a constant 13.5 volts to say your pump and ignition box. this would work fine because you are obviously not going to be constantly at full throttle.

jason and messy have the same avatar!!!! both look really good
