regarding the fuel meter
what i did to mine was take out the fuel meter inside the tank
and clean the thin wire and the float of the meter
it works better than spanking your bad old meter
BUT IT CERTAINLY COSTS MORE
unless you know how to DIY

saijin naib, i think zorro has a good set up
why dont you follow the good example

Because it sounds like its going to be too expensive, and I just want to know about the other rotors regardless, just so I can be informed and make my own judgement on what is the best option for what I can afford.

sup guys, i just wanted to follow up with my acetone experiment.

http://peswiki.com/index.php/Directo...e_Additive:FAQ

http://peswiki.com/index.php/Directory:Acetone_as_a_Fuel_Additive


anyway, my results were a bit effed up. i seemed to well for my first quarter tank, and thats where my experiment went wrong. my dad put a lot of lucas oil into the car, greatly overfilling it with a thickener......great. anyway, needless to say that quarter didnt do to well on gas. the next quarter i was flooring it everywhere i went as i was in a bad mood . at that point i filled up and after doing the math i figured i got 20 mpg mostly city driving as compared to my last tank, which i got 18.3 mpg on. i plan on trying this again in more stable circumstances but overall id say the acetone seemed to work. not the mention that i did feel an increase in throttle response, although that might just be the placebo effect. anyone else wanna try it?

to sum up, 2 oz of acetone per 10 gallons= jump from 18.3 mpg to 20mpg

basically, my left forearm muscle collapsed on the radial nerve that runs from the neck to the fingers and was causing me excruciating pain. and my elbow ligament was fraying from the strain on my forearm. one of those stupid cause-and-effect things the human body does. i never had pain in my elbow until my forearm started to bother me. baseball will get you, moral of the story.

Indeed :C Im sorry dude. I just developed deglutition syncope, or a condition where I may faint if my trigger (cold liquids) happens to excite my vagus nerve. Basically, i took a gulp of cold iced tea, and i passed out flat on my ***. Its a fun condition :|

damn..sorry to hear bout both of your conditions...saijin, how does one develop that condition. and im sorry in advance for this, but; it could be worse, atleast your trigger aint sexual arousal. you dont need to be passing out when this happens

HAhha yeah, thank god for that! That would be kind of entertaining though, for a short while. Im not sure why it develops, but they say typically develops around 18-20 years old, affects females more than males, and can be triggered by any number of things. Stress may cause it, but also it can be an indicator of a serious/life threatening cardiovascular disease/disorder. Im hoping its just stress
Most notably a large bolus of food, cold/carbonated liquids, sexual arousal, pain, needles, discomfort, etc can be triggers. Dehydration, stress, emotional strain, fatigue, heat (temperature) all factor in and can make an episode happen. Ive been developing this all year apparantly, but its never made me pass out before, only just have my esophagus spasm and close on me (which hurts like you cant belive) but it usually relaxed a few seconds after. Monday was the first time it ever took me down.
I am stressed because of my ex-gf situation, im going to china for 8 weeks in about a week, i dont have much money, I just got a hepatitus a vaccination so i wasnt feeling too hot, i was oustide in the heat workin, and i took a huge gulp of a very cold iced tea. The combination was perfect, and I had my first syncope episode. W00t. :|
It feels very strange. Like, i took the gulp, and my esophagus spasmed. I thought, ow, but this will go away shortly. But it didnt, the pain got worse, felt like my esophaugs was twisting like one would ring out a wet towel, then i doubled over in pain. Thats where I last recall anything clearly. I think I thought to myself "Ill just sit down right here" but it was during the pass-out phase, and it felt like those few seconds where you lose your train of thought right before you fall asleep in class. A few seconds after, I was back in control and I awoke to find myself sitting awkwardly on the ground, still holding my drink (of which I spilled not a drop lol) with my aunt and uncle looking at me funny. I asked them what happened and they asked me the same. So i finshed my iced tea (slowly) because I had a mondo head ache and had broken into a very extereme cold sweat. I felt like **** all day, and I still feel a little off. They drove me home which was nice

I think part of my problem may be the hardcore outdated sig I have, just noticed that. Damn my old system sucked in comparison.

PS boredom and wine don't mix well with being 18, stupid **** gets typed

Chicks dig guys that know about wine. Plus, if you can cook, you can get them drunk before dinner's over!
