I think Mcains arms are like that from a war injury, i had noticed it too thnkin the ol fella was startin to seize up or something, but then there was a doco on the two candidates and they showed images of a young Mcain on a medics bed with both arms plastered up at that angle.

I think that Obama will be a great peoples president, but only time will tell how he goes in relation to foreign policy.

Its sad that everyone is already talking assination on the sole basis that he is African American, its 2008 FFS!

Yeah, but we are talking about the "great" US....

I mean seriously, there were people saying that they don't trust him and that he will only look after his "own people".

When the reporter asked who his "own people" are, the ignorant b*tches said "terrorists" because Obama sounds like Osama... wow.

Also, I think that McCains issue is with his shoulders. While his arms are odd, looks to me like a rotator cuff issue (which would explain why he can't lift his hands much higher than his nose).

^^ i have no idea what your talking about! oh wait....*searches google*

"Discussion about Baracks middle name is Hussein,and last name rhymms with Osama. .Is this a sign? at the GodlikeProductions Conspiracy Forum."

.....You may have a point! :P

Hopefully America will get the change it needs!

I have a friend who lives in virginia and some cousins in new york, and they seem over the moon about Obama being elected.

Who knows maybe Bush can be the next big stand up comedian!

jeebus fellas, McCain was a POW in Vietnam for 5 years, and it wasn't exactly a stay at the hilton. He came back and could barely walk (not so noticable now) but obviously you guys have picked up on his arms. Parting gifts from the VC.

I closely followed the democratic primaries and very closely followed the presidential race. McCain is a hero, no doubt, and most likely would have been a decent president, but America and the world needed more than that. They needed someone like Obama to "inspire", to rally the country and also amend the alliances. Domestically McCain would probably have done ok, but the world is too small for that these days. America having elected someone who is so amazingly accepted worldwide can only be a huge step forward for everyone.

He was the only candidate to actual say that America has lost it's standing in the world, it has lost respect. I think that was ballsy as you could be treading a fine line even mentioning the fact that America might not actually be looked on favourably by the rest of the world, might seem somewhat un-patriotic. But he's dead right. How much do we slag off America in so many contexts? For a President to actually have a perception of how the world views America from the outside-in can only be a good thing.

If Obama can keep the fire burning, keep the energy high amongst the grassroots movement he created, I think we'll be all surprised about how quickly America can get back on track.

It's an incredibly hopeful time, and I'm very interested to see how things play out over the next 4 years.

edit: how the fudge do you embed!

yes and no, the 'inspirational' speeches have given him a huge mandate for his policy platform. He'll have the numbers in congress, and the favours owed to him by those who were able to ride his popularity into seats in the house of reps and senate. So in theory, he "should" be able to get a lot done, and be perceived as a 'great' leader as he will be executing the will of the people.

It takes more than some 'inspirational' speeches (which would probably be written by other people) to be a good leader...

Well then hes already a head of bush who was so mentally retarded he couldnt even read his...

Its nice to see someone who can actually carry themselves in a conversation and or public questioning (if you watched any) without looking like a tard, stumbling, making stupid noises and making up words. Thats generally a good start to being one.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
