    Yeah Same here. These are wrong allot too. It's all down to the whoever is supposed to update these systems.

    Yeah, there is no way to tell what the GPS speed limits are unless I am using my phone.
    I found using Trapster on my phone gives me the GPS posted speed limits. Like I75 in some areas it is now up to 70mph, but the GPS still reads 65mph. There is another stretch of road where it reads that it is 45mph even though it is posted as 55mph.

    Nothing more embarrassing then being passed by a 18-wheeler on a back road, because you have to go under the speed limit.

    Got the axles in, I got a rad hose coming in tomorrow at NAPA, it runs! I started it and ran it or like 30-45seconds with NO OIL! I was a complete idiot and forgot to fill it. Hopefully I didn't kill it. I have to order a new intake tube from ebay because the one I got is a 3incher, and it takes a 2.5 incher, so I cinched down the pipe, but it didn't idle for crap. I hope to sweet lord jesus I didn't kill it.

    I changed my steerinwheel, it's from BG-chassis 323 (Protege for you guys)


    Finally finished my tweeters for a-pillars, left side got little bit too much glue, so it came through from the canvas:

    I'm in need of a machinist to 'fix' my flywheel so that it will fit on the swap donor engine... I don't have any monies. I'll trade someone a core B3 (bad bearings, still rolled over) if they're willing to hook a brotha up.

    Structural, sort of. You could get away without it, but it does serve to control chassis flex and also holds the transmission's weight torque load.

    Jack that motor is NOT a B3. It's a BP. I'm sure that makes it a little louder. It's still a lot quieter than my B3 with glasspacks.

    That's louder than I expected from turbos, but I like it. Thanks,

    Really sucks having GPS tracking you, and you can't go over the speed limit AT ALL. So if it is 65, I have to sit around 60-64. Don't they realize it is unsafe to drive slower than the traffic flow? No, they believe in a little gizmo that plugs into the Vans ECU, and tattles whenever you speed.

    I can understand tracking your mileage, making sure you are not goofing off, but this shit of having the electronic nanny always sitting there like it is looking over your shoulder sucks.
    Also I have heard they have gone through 8 drivers in a month over this, so I am fearing for my job, because I know I have gone over speed limits multiple times, mainly because of quick speed change drops, and no signs posted down back roads.

    I would love to find whoever thought this was a good idea, and shove every single one of these that he has put into his company's vehicles so far up where the sun don't shine that he will be coughing them up for weeks.

    The not to be named natl. pest control company I work for had GPS on our trucks. The manager could sit at his computer & track us. The thing I got called into the office for many, many times was "IDELING". Its Fla. , & hot, I'd sit in my truck to do paperwork with the A/C on. Sorry for the mini-rant.

    How's the sound with the turbos on it?
