It's incredible that you will have 600 hp in a 2 liter 4 cylinder motor. Pistons that are around 4 inches across. I mean that's about the length of your middle finger and that one piston is making 150 hp. It would be interesting to know the forces being exerted on the pistol tops, rods, and bearings.

true, even though chevy small blocks are a 4 inch bore, the 4g63, with only half the pistons it is amazing to see this kind of power

Pump is being done today unless Calvin stayed late last night.

I don't know the exact IDC, but Calvin said it was mid-70's. I run 50psi base pressure.

I lived in Austin Ranch in The Colony, TX when I first moved here and as far as apartments go, I liked it. Lots of nice pools (nice pools = hot chicks), underground parking garage, shops/bars/restaurants within walking distance, etc. PM me if you want more info.

Austin Ranch is a nice place, especially if you're single and half-decent looking like mr kracka up there ;-)

Baller.

Might avoid that area then, all the 20-somethings might just **** you off more than be fun if you're domesticated.

well im 33 and 34 in october, kinda looking for peace and quiet, but with neighbors that dont mind me making noise with my les paul every now and then.


not really a baller either. the ex was cheating for almost the whole marraige. she got kicked out of germany for it too (army base, they can kick your spouse out of the country if shes being dirty). i met my girl 4 months after she got kicked out, and figured why am i going to hold off? she could be the greatest thing in my life, and it turned out i was right. we had decided to end the marriage way back in july 2010.

Sorry to hear that, but glad you found happiness.

I'd leave it to someone else to recommend where to live apartment wise for peace and quiet. Last time I lived in an apartment I was single and had much different priorities. There are many good areas around DFW, but prices vary widely. A 1 bedroom can vary from 500/mo up to 2500/mo depending on where you want to be. Your price range could help determine where people recommend.
