Not anymore. Jordan said that there will be no more name changes. It even says it under the box where you enter your desired username when you register.

It would be 16 October, but that's just when all the paperwork was signed.

How did I get off down this road?

Aahh. That would explain a few things.

Maybe the aliens have infested your brain and told you to take this road!

That always seems to imply they'll be leaving soon.

Oh well. Have a nice stay.

I meant the 'Giles is an alien' road.

Are you telling me you haven't got an avatar made up for Crater Lake? I'll be in Montana on the ninth, then you can put it into use.

Frankly, I don't understand the name changes; with cookies enabled, you never have type your own user name, the other members have to, though!

Air Bags on a GN? shoot yourself.

 

[87GrandNational]

lol Your thinking of the wrong kind of airbags. Theyre in the same location but the ones im getting serve a purpose for Drag racing.Also they dont replace the springs they go inside them.

Seeing as when you stage the car and power brake the launch, the rear of the car begins to arch up and when you release such stages such as a 5-7psi launch, all that power is forced down in an uneven manner.

this is a good example of what im talking about. Notice that the frount left of the car is higher in the air than the right. This happens with all GN's and most muscle cars.
By inflating the bags at differnt psi (one harder than the other)
It creates an equal launch so the left rear of the car gets equal traction as the right rear. The bags are good for launches and 60 foot times.

If you dont understand what i said before theirs an easy personal way to understand how they work.

Take a 2 hammers. One ballpean the other a rubber mallet
Depending on what handed you are, (lets say your right handed)
Grab the rubber mallet with your right hand (seeing as the hammer softer and your arm is stronger) hit yourself as hard as you can in the foot.
Now take the ballpean with your left hand and smash your self in the foot as hard as you can. you can see they are probably equal pains because the power and force were balanced.
