I believe it is a legit 2500k. I do not believe it was not overclocked.

I feel like there is a song called "Loose Control" in one of the old NFS games...

Good bad or horrible

Good deal. That is the rebadged Ranger. It will need a few things as the V6 was not the most reliable. It needs $1000 in timing belt/water pump and this is why the price is the way it is. If you buy it, and do that stuff, it would be a great little truck.

The tranny on this model should be the "refreshed" one and ought to be fine.

This is NOT a 4x4. It is only RWD and therefore will not have the transfer case issues the 4x4's have.

So the fact we don't have ther 4x4 issue is good?

 

[tiny voices]

Yeah, the 4x4 models had issues with the transfer case. This model is not 4wd so it has no transfer case so it doesn;t have the issues. Make sure you know that it has an open rear differential, so it will be completely worthless in the snow or offroad. A FWD honda civic would be better inn those regards. But as just a beater to drive around or to make dump runs and lawn/garden runs it would be a great vehicle.

Tiny - damn Id love to drive a G35....especially a modded one.

 

[tiny voices]

Mine was stupid easy to drive. Just mash the gas and dump the clutch. instant tire-roasting burnouts. :lol:

 

[Mirakledba]

Gosh, I want an F type V8 coupe so bad.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Y'know, when the Acura starts up, it makes this low growling noise. Really nice to me.... Never noticed it before. Oh yeah, the car definitely needs some r-134a(freon stuffs)). Driver's side blows cold and my side just blows air... not cold..... it sucks when it is about 95 in the car after sitting in the sun...

F-Type sounds nice... I'd still rather take the GT40 Replica with the 428 because I am still in love with that car.... I am pretty sure the Replica is street legal... not sure how I would fit mufflers in there though

 

[tiny voices]

Does it have dual zone climate control? Either way, if it blows cold form one side, then it DOES NOT need any more freon. There is an electrical issue somewhere.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Yeah it does... Wierd, because three separate people said it needs more freon.
Don't talk about electrical problems, we just got this last one fixed.

 

[tiny voices]

It doesn;t need more freon. Idiots.

The car only has ONE AC system, so if it blows cold at all, the freon is fine. This is an electrical issue.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

God Damn.
I assume the same with the hissing sound then?

 

[tiny voices]

What hissing sound?

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Light Hissing sound from Front A/C when starting car. Only with A/C. Tends to go away within a minute or less. Sometimes comes back in Stop and Go traffic(Fontana and the ricers(sorry irrelevant, but THERE ARE SO MANY, I mean, there was even a riced out COROLLA. It had skirts, front and rear bumper, hood....)

 

[tiny voices]

Yeah, that is just the compressor cycling. Normal.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Yeah. Just started last month, and noone has ever heard of it before..

Just read the awakening, ethan frome, and am in the Cruicible now.... so much Olde English

 

[Mirakledba]

Gooooooooood Morning! I just made 1 scram egg, 1 wheat toast with butter, and 3 pieces of turkey bacon...and orange juice 😀

Yummy.

Hopefully I can drive some more today...doubt it though

This weekend will be busy. I've got another mobo on the bench to run through a suite of tests, and I really need to get Scrooge up and running.

I had a huge bowl of honey bunches of oats with a dash of sugar

 

[Onus]

I take care of my breakfasts on weekdays, before work. This pretty much always includes an Isotonix Daily Essentials (vitamins), and a generic Slim-Fast (I'm not overweight, but don't need lots of calories). I was out of bananas, so grabbed a handful of pretzel twists just to have something besides liquid in my stomach. On weekends, my wife makes breakfast for me. Usually it is crispy bacon crumbled up in a bowl of grits; sometimes I get cinnamon-raisin biscuits or muffins, rarely pancakes. I also drink the Isotonix.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Weeelll, Normally I have a huge glass of milk, with some of these small bran muffins.. Lotta raisins and all that healthy stuff.. Or I'll have a bowl of cereal....

 

[Mirakledba]

Bossy -that sounds great!!
Guys...i need your help...

I have to decide between WEIGHTS or baseball for me PE this year....I have a few days to pick. If I pick weights, I do it every day for one hour for 5 days a week so Im bound to get more fit like my bro did..used to be a twirp now hes kinda buff...

As you know , this is embarrassing, I didnt make the baseball team. And in my defence, I hadnt played on an actual filed for over 5 years and got no practice cause I was in the UAE...But Ive gotten better and I still need practice....so dont say its up to me lol, what do you think would be better? Last time I checked I weighted 186...But it doesnt show at all...I have a belly doe 🙁

 

[Onus]

If you want to be in shape, I'd say weights. There are a lot of different ways to work with weights, based on your goals. Light, lots of reps = toning; heavy, few reps = strength. Keep in mind it doesn't rain in the weight room.
If, otoh, you see PE as recreation, then you might prefer the baseball. Sometimes it rains, or the sun is blistering hot.

 

[Mirakledba]

Heat Im used to....Whats rain?

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Onus, you forget we are in California. I don't think it has rained in years(minus those flash floods...)
