I used linix for ages, though Debian (apt is the greatest loonix tool ever)...

Might install it on my old box as a "**** around" server, but I'd never go back to using it as a desktop.. Way too involved and time consuming trying to get everything windows-based to work :cheers:

Yeah, well I was sick of windows crashing all the time and the 400 spyware/adware a month.

I don't think I can get spyware/adware anymore so that problem is solved. I still have a dual boot with XP running.

BTW, I still have a running copy of DOS 6.22, ALL Windows Versions, Redhat 7 and 9 and Fedora Core3.

you say....what the hell do you know about OS's

I'm the f$%ken OS MASTER.

Linux aint that bad. Especially this Fedora. It way outpowers windows in all ways and has less vulnerabilities. Plus I was being attacked by members of Andre NET every day. I had to run 4 firewalls just to stay alive. Now...no probs and I have a massive artilary at my disposal....so now I go to war.

Are you new to computers?

1 x hardwire firewall/router

1 x XP install with personal firewall running and all non-essential services blocked (remember, DENY all and allow each port individually!)

1 x MS Anti Spyware

No problems.

Just use common sense. "Britneynaked.jpg..................pif" is still a pif. "Click here for free porn" is never free porn. Accepting files from people you dont know is stupid. Running an FTP/HTTP on common ports is asking to be pwned. Using MSN is asking to be pwned. Using IE in anything other than "Restriced Zones" is asking to be pwned. Etc.

For the casual hax0r, a loonix box with a default install is easier to hop into than a windows box :rofl: Hello plenty of installed services that are all open and left with default settings!

I'm interested to know how linux "outpowers" windows too, is this a tractor pulling contest? X Windows is slow and clunky and needs a 3Ghz machine to run anything more hardcore than KDE.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.

      Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
