I massively wish someone would teach me how to use usenet. The vast majority of my 40Gb 'internal' data on Adam does not get used.

hrm its not hard

usenet was the first exposure to the tcp/ipv4 internet.... back before mosaic was even invented (ala the internet had no www)...

its pretty simple, you download a news client like eudora or something similar, log onto the server and look in all the categories. best stuff is under alt.binaries but theres really a group for everything

at worst you'll need a base64 or uuencoder/decoder to get the binaries converted from 7bit to 8bit format but its very easy to pick up

a lot of isp's stopped carrying decent usenet feeds and only now is it starting to get popular again

(usenet is an evolution of fidonet for those old enough to remember bbs portals)

-D

MIght have a look at my coilpacks when i get my car back which is hopefully this week i hope..god i hope lol

Also buying new tools this week :P as my dads 3 grand worth of tools were stolen round 5 yrs ago n havnt replaced em yet lol

Luke,

I used that Ultra Grey Loctite stuff. I covered the base and top section of the coil pack ensuring I squeezed silicon in between the coil pack and its mounting ring bit if that makes sense.

I run copper plugs so have the coils out every 20-30k. So far so good the silicon is sticking and not peeling off etc.

make sure you give them a little wipe with metho or something so the silicon sticks. :)

Its been a good 1.5yrs and they are still going strong. :P

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
