Shure for earphones. I always thought sennheiser were a bit overpriced or over bassy. But still shit on Bose.

Start spending anything north of $200 for anything other than sound cancellation and MP3's dont so the headphones justice.

Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

who needs a Mic? you just plug your headphones in the mic jack

I remember plugging microphones into headphone jacks when I was younger...you did get a tiny bit of sound out of them

Hey guys, had some problems with the Evo over the past few days... can I bounce some ideas off you to help diagnose?

2 days ago the head unit (Aftermarket JVC Double Din Touch screen) just went blank and restarted as I was driving home.

1 day ago on my 50 minute drive home it happened 3-4 times, most of the time after I'd been sitting at a set of lights for a while, literally the second I let out of clutch and started moving forwards. So at this point I was thinking "Maybe a loose power connection at the back of the head unit?", but it always started back up immediately by itself.

This morning I was cruising along eastlink at a hundred, Head unit went off like all the times before but when it started up (and was playing the radio just fine), but there was a message on the screen saying "Power off unit". A few seconds after I noticed that the engine gave a shudder and lost power for a split second, a few reds came on the dash (engine shutdown) and then it restarted itself with momentum and being in gear. The Check engine light stayed on until I pulled over, turned the car off and back on. Drove fine with no loss of power for the remaining 20 minutes of the drive.

Head unit went off once more when I was pulling into the carpark at work.

Thoughts?

if I mysteriously go missing from the forums you know the Evo blew up

Son of a bitch, you shouldn't have said that!

first thought

bad earthing?

Where though, and why has it popped up only in the past few days?

Engine bay has a full high quality earthing kit which connects about 10 different places together, inc the battery itself.

Think I'll dig up the multimeter here at work and check battery and alternator voltages, though that'd surely show up with the battery light on the dash.

Perhaps an arc from a short made the ECU temporarily confused, or read the CAS wrong, and that caused a misfire or shutdown?

bolts come loose, just start checking connections.

after that check connections and current on alternator

then battery test

def sounds electrical tho

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
