If you can't even find the motor mounts, you obviously do not have a service manual, and you should NOT attempt the mods you are talking about. You lack the mechanical know how of how to do what you want to do.

Ricky Bobby wants to go fast.

If he ain't first, he's last.

I use 2nd and 1st gear a lot in traffic, so I dont have to step on the brake.

I'm lazy.

Start by checking battery voltage. A good battery will have 12.6v or more. A not so good battery will be 10.8v or less. If it's low, charge it and retest 1 hour after properly charging. If it falls back to 10.8v or less in 1 hour after charging, it has a bad cell and could be the entire cause of ...

It was a joke about how he was trying so hard to hide it. Cool your jets.

Armorall is aweful for your car. It dries the stuff out and leaves films, residue.

Get some aerospace protectant.

I thought that meant that it never showed up, even with a direct link.

Whoops!

Hopefully you get this figured out Andrew.

Both load for me no problem from the direct links.

This car is truely the cleaniest SSEi on craigslist.

cleaniest?


Just giving you a hard time. Looks great though. Just stunning.

DRL are not required in the states. So that logic of looking for the lights doesn't work here.

If your brakes are fading that quickly, it is because of your rotor and pad choices, not the size of the rotor or caliper.

I put wagner rotors and pads on my car, and make 3-5 80-0 stops without fade.

Yeah, after speaking with some of state officer friends, I found out the scoop.

Bascically, in IL, pacing is considered an allowable measure of speed. I will have to go to court, admit guilt, and then get assessed a $375 ticket, with $250 worth of court fees.

It's ridiculous, but what can ya do ...

Surprised he didn't strip it down to bare metal to remove the problematic primer that causes the herpes in the first place.

After speaking with our friend who is a very high up state officer, It will be $375, regardless of how he paced me.

Because I cannot prove beyond a doubt that I was doing 45 or lower, I will get the ticket. The ticket will be corrected at the courthouse.

Not really happy about it, but what can ...

Alright so that gets me to 65ish, which is still too high, and far higher than I was going.

There is an additional equation that is used for pacing police cars. It takes into account the accuracy of the pacing

It uses speed clocked at/(1+(distance paced at/distance paced))

So that becomes 65/(1 ...

I'm not exactly sure where you're getting 104 feet in radius. It is somewhere near a mile in radius.

I was on 355, going under 88. He pulled me over right before 355 went into the left hand turn.

The violation code he used for construction zone, and for infraction he put "speeding in construction zone."

But for bond, he put individual bond(full) amount: $75

Here's the location:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source= ... 38581&z=15

That is assuming a perfect curve, and perfect pacing from 4 lanes over by the officer.

Plus, I dont have any idea what the radius of the curve is. It also is not a constant curve, but actually tightens as you move farther through it.


The issue becomes that if the ticket can be thrown out ...

The issue becomes that it was a work zone. 1mph over in a work zone is $375.

But the officer wrote Individual Bond (full amount) at $75.


I'm just wondering that If I can prove the officer's pacing was wrong, the ticket will be thrown out. It should be, as it says on the ticket that I was doing ...
