must resist this thread

I'm with you.

I could have gone my whole life not knowing what that word meant.

Come on, even I figured out that darien found it funny for its closeness to queef.

I always laugh when someone says Quaife LSD cuz I respond with "You blow angeldust out of your twat?" They usually don't get it either...

Yes, but everyone here knows how to pronounce the word Quaife.

Qu-ay-f. Not Queef.

Put the new sprocket set on the GSXR today. -1 up front and +2 in the back, a lot more low end now. We were able to keep the stock chain as well so I ended up saving almost $200 doing it myself, minus the $15 for the 32mm socket used for the axle nut.

I'll get a video of me burning the rear tire off here next weekend.

I knew my speedo was going to off but didn't think it was going to be 20mph off! I was going with the follow of traffic and looked down and the speedo said 92mph. I'm going to get the recalibration module when I get the power commander and velocity stacks installed. Should be able to give some stock liter bikes a run for their money then.

I agree with Sheep. Be careful. I gave up bikes after all my friends got hurt or died. Half the people out there driving are below average. Think about that one for a minute!!!!!

I am, my head is on a swivel and I wear my gear all of the time. I like to go fast but I'm not stupid about it. Right now I need to save up for a one piece leather suit so I can take it to the track since I'll be trapping over 120mph.

Finally got some pics of the audio system in my new Ranger. Alpine deck w/Bluetooth adapter, Alpine PDX-5 (75w x 4 + 300w x 1), JL Audio speakers w/ Kenwood component tweeters, Rockford shallow P3 sub.

Quick pick of the Frontier with 2.5" lift on 285/75/16 Firestone Destination AT's. My leer topper will be in this week so I'll post another pic once I get it installed. Throw in a few sand bags and I'll be ready for the Colorado winter.....I think.

410 RWHP w/ 7 lbs pulley, I'll let you make your own crank assumptions.

Wife's new 2011 Charger with the Ralley Plus package. No hemi, it has the new Pentastar 291hp V-6 which moves it along prefectly fine. If it was my car I would have dropped some options and got the hemi but the creature comforts are worth it, especially the leather seats. The 8.4" touch screen media control center is pretty damn slick too.

I just got rid of my '07 Daytona for a CTS coupe. I do miss the power the Hemi made, but I was ready for something new. I didn't like the new body style at first, but its grown on me. That baby seat is definitely in a safe package.

 

[Matt34]

That baby seat is definitely in a safe package.

Yup, it's one of the reasons we got it.

You had me until this pic.

I love the look of the new Chargers from behind with the lights on.
That bright red going all around the top section is pretty sweet.

2003 Ford F150 Harley Davidson 100th Anniversary Edition

Here's my other vice. Only 21k miles. Show & go baby!

Ford and Harley Davdison do a factory alliance for some years of the trucks. This is a special edition for the 100th year anniversary of both companies 1903-2003. It's factory supercharged but modded with 16 lbs. of boost and right at 450 ft. lbs. torque and 430 HP to the wheels...without the nitrous.

Along with many engine mods and appearance mods, I put in 4 JL Audio XR570-CXi coaxial door speakers with cross overs & a JL Audio Stealthbox 12" subwoofer, 7" screen-Kenwood DDX-7017 DVD+TV+Sirrius+Reverse Camera and powered by a Phoenix Gold 7.1 channel 1500 watt amplifier.

Sweet looking truck but I wouldn't think you'd get too many chances to "go fast" living in the Caymans.

Thanks. Yeah, we're pretty laid back and slow here, "Soon come mon".

But I can still live life 1/8th mile at a time in the fast lane when the itch hits me!

Congratulations on the new ride. I really like the new lines on the Charger and the added space makes it a great all around vehicle.

Enjoy!
