This is probably old news about spark plugs, but it is interesting...

Well, I have 9,000 miles on the car - perhaps I should take them all out and apply the anti-seize...

Yeah right, we're gonna believe that some old dude that was afraid to install a driveshaft has the nuts to install a N2o system.
Tom,
STD wasn't afraid to install that driveshaft until the old indian dude started spinning webs in his head with his new age math!

Hey Robert,
You are beating this to death. My math was correct on the change in angle of the lower control with spring drop. The effect of the change on the pinion angle was less than I perdicted. I have said and will say again I was wrong. You continue to give Ron Lenord of Spydershaft a lip beating when ever possible. You have also made me sorry that I let you put me up to asking Ron in the driveshaft thread what effect spring drop has on pinion angle. I for one am just glad at least one driveshaft manufacture spent a few hours doing some research work. And than when I gave Ron kudos for his efforts you had plenty to say again. In the future when you have issues with anything that Ron posts that you don't like please don't ask me to get involved. Take it up with Ron. Do your own dirty work. I am happy with the product I purchased and I know your customers are happy with your product. I am sure I should have handled this through the PM system but I don't always do the smart thing. I have never posted or said 1 bad word about the Shaftmasters product and will continue that. But let it die man.
Scott

Geez, I don't know...... maybe someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I didn't take Shaftmaster's post in a derogatory way at all, thought it was just us midwest guys picking on each other again.

Nothing announced on the spring event yet Larry...... I'll keep everyone posted when I hear anything.

I know you were just poking fun at me Larry. I got an email that Brenspeed shipped the Mags today. My guess it will be Monday before I see them. I hope I can make you JEALOUS of my new exhaust sound.

I know, I didn't think there was any malice meant in Shaftmasters comment ... I've got two theroy's, these sydershaft guys are some kind cult members.. or its that time of the month for the sheep in SW Ohio and MACHMAN is getting a little backed up...needs to get his freak on !..

STD,
Those hood pins you had on your prior hood, were they pasties or real ones?
I might be interested in them.

Good Morning Scott,
OK, enough said. I thought that it was all in good fun, I'm sorry if you took it any other way. I think I'll take a leave of absence for awhile because I really don't want to mess up the harmony on this forum. Hasta luego baby!
Robert
