  1. get the widest possible element/core you can get. If you can't get wide cores, get it made with multiple rows. You basically want as much or more area in the tubes than the inlet/outlet size ... more is better 'cos you'll dissipate more heat 'cos the liquid will flow through slower. http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/wiki/Bu..._cooling_system The custom unit you have isn't working well? Maybe there's not enough core area for the coolant to flow through. As far as I know, there' no baffles or anything within, just two tanks and the core in the middle (that is unless you purposely made a serpentine crossflow system)
  2. Thanks guys ... he's such a cute little kid, I'm so happy. However, my car has been parked in the garage sans intake/etc. for the last week partly taken apart. Maybe I'll get some time next week? or next month? or next year? to finish her up ... lol
  3. yeah it does work like that. Sometimes in light rain, I don't even have to turn the wipers on 'cos it just clears away for the wind speed The other thing you should do is make sure your windshield is "clean" ... I know you may have washed it well but sometimes, regular washing doesn't take away the extra layer of oils/dirt. If you have a clay bar, that'll help OR a good ammonia based glass cleaner will help too. I use it on the outside and inside and then make sure I don't manually wipe the inside (only use the defroster; unless it's really bad) 'cos it leaves marks and they appear when it fogs up the next time.
  4. Wife gave birth to a beautiful healthy bouncing baby boy on 5/16/09 at 4:27pm ... so have been on papa duty since then... and am constantly falling asleep at work ... lol Pics on FB

  7. yeah, they're Maryland plates as DevakaC figured out. This trip was in West Virginia redneck country ... lol. We ended up going up a trail that seemed to get narrower and pretty bad as we progressed and the little Yoda took it all in stride ... however, we got to a point and the trail got so narrow we were a bit surprised; then it turned out it was a ATV trail ... lol ... some ATV dudes came up and were like "wtf?" lol ... had to run some small trees down making a u-turn in that mess ... I miss my truck and wish I didn't get rid of it to buy the Explorer, damn thing is too cute to go off-roading in

  14. We had a seminar on investing in SL just a few weeks ago here in DC. The Embassy organized it. I'll try to get you some info, but from what I heard (didn't attend), there were some good options and many were impressed with the returns expected (dependent on length).
