No, Radioshack doesn't get into that stuff. Best bet is to buy a cheapy soldering iron and practice yourself. That's how I learned. I can solder like a pro now.
Anybody know how to protect motorbike plastics from UV damage?

I'm about ready to watch SuperSpeeders 3. I used to love the old Mischief stuff, and I haven't watched superspeeders ever.
those guys are all douchebags it's one thing to drive/race on a deserted highway at night, but they do like 160 in the middle of the day, in and out of soccer moms and passing on the shoulder

Sometimes I watch it and pretend I'm there, being a total douchebag. Because I could never be that big of one IRL. It's impossible to be as much of an asshat as those guys are. I'm fairly certain. Trust me, I've tried. Anyone know how they get all the money to do that shit?

I roughly calculated the mpg of the Jeep and it turns out to be about 18 Not that bad actually, better than expected :v: and that's for small drives like from home to the store and back (about 6 - 7 kmtotal)
[QUOTE=Hell Strike;29250565]he owns an exotic car rental place or something[/QUOTE] Interesting...

I'm friends with dustin worles, so that's why I watch mischief stuff.

I was sitting in an intersection near my house the other day at one of those left turn yields waiting to turn left. The light turned red while I was in the middle of the intersection so I had to go, and some guy waiting to turn right went to turn but stopped and didn't even go past the cross walk, so I turned left in front of him. He blared his horn at me a couple times.:v: Also, stopping at stop signs and having people pop their clutch and rev the shit out of their Hondas in anger.
some guy called the cops on me today haha
So far I've only hit potholes and dots. Good track record for <25 hours of driving, if I do say so myself. :v:
[QUOTE=Hell Strike;29255438]some guy called the cops on me today haha[/QUOTE] what did you do? :raise:
Is it possible to have 4 1 barrel carbs on a inline 4 engine. If so would it be better than a stock 2 barrel carb. Is it also possible to outfit a 2 barrel intake to support a 4 barrel carb.
[QUOTE=Valon Kyre;29263047]Is it possible to have 4 1 barrel carbs on a inline 4 engine.[/quote] Yes. [quote]If so would it be better than a stock 2 barrel carb.[/quote] Power yes, economy no. [quote]Is it also possible to outfit a 2 barrel intake to support a 4 barrel carb.[/QUOTE] Possible? yes. But fuel would pool up in areas that it doesn't flow (since the port sized is only big enough for 2 barrels) and qould cause flooding, sputtering, stalling... So really, no. It's not possible to do this effectively. Best thing to do is make a sheet metal intake for a 4-barrel and go from there.
You know of any examples of a 1x4 intake system, can't find any pictures. Been looking on google for single barrel carbs and it seems next to impossible. Guess I'll scavenge the junk yard if I get the chance.
Most of them are custom fabbed, alot of people make their own intake and then use 4x Motorcycle carbs.
I plan on making the intake, shouldn't be too hard but the carburetors are impossible to find. If all elce fails I'll just use 2x2 barrel carbs.
2x2 is probably a more stable setup than 4x1, less hassle adjusting throttle linkage and whatnot.
