laakness,

have you checked out http://www.mymovies.dk/downloads.aspx ? Have a pretty sweet SQL database to keep your media in, and adds a "My Movies" interface to media center...downloads the movie covers etc for you so you can click on a thumbnail of the Bluray/HDDVD/DVD case to play it...works pretty slick. Been torrenting most of my stuff in 1080p

That's pretty cool. I'll have to give it a shot. I don't do much with Media Center even though I am running Vista Ultimate. Most of my media is done through MythTV. I just built a silent frontend since the 1TB of space behind the tv was getting loud/hot in the summer The primary backend is now in the basement with the rest of my junk.

Evo X is a drive by wire throttle isn't it? A plastic pedal probably makes sense in that case.

Maybe the stop on the floor was moved out from under the pedal.

ok need your guys help, and to type and let some adrenaline out!

So...theres this rich persian kid who has a R32 GT-R skyline, legit, RHD, TT, koyo radiator, mbc, etc ....always see him driving around but never run into him..


well i did tonight! and... we went to the track you know mike bandamire ...after talking for a while...

got him from a roll 15mph! pulled 2.5 car lengths! I am on 93 octane and hes on 91, but that extra turbo and two non-existant doors shoulda helped him!
He said he 'didnt think it had a tune'- kid knew some stuff about it- seemed more like he knew the info from hearing it from people like me who talked to him abt his sick rare car!
I really thought he'd be faster, and i didnt even go to redline (i had the little 12wweek old puppy in the car! if i go to redline the engine bucks hard on a super fast shift)
Think he cant drive, has a boost leak, or just simply its slower or its age it taking a toll (Even though i have more milesthan him!)

But heres the WEIRD quirk....right after i let off he flies by on his way....
then i THOGUHT see something fly out from his wheel and hear a WEIRD noise like i just ran over something or my undercarriage hit something metal.....i slam my brakes so it doesnt hit me.....and get out and pick it up!.....

heres what it is:L




made by BBS..has BBS stamps along with numbers and 'made in germany' on it.
.at first i thought it was from my car! (but mines a GSR, no BBS wheels) so i dont think so!

BUT i looked and SOME skylines come stock with BBS wheels.....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Skyline_GT-R


and what i found was the centercap thing of the 3 piece wheels?

PLEASE someone confirm this, i am pumpin with adrenaline and also a lil weirded out as to what it is and where that thing came from! from his car? or maybe he kicked it up? or something??!


Looks like it would fit perfectly in the center of this wheel.....

I miss the good tracks. Bandimere comes in as 2nd on my all time favorites list with Orlando taking the top. Nothing like a great track at sea level. When I get back out there to pick the Jeep up I want to see if theres an event over that weekend. GLD just sucks *** and always will, plus the announcer there never shuts up which is extremely annoying.
