It should answer you questions. Be prepare to get flamed for this thread. Let me know if you'd like me to lock it.


Everyone else, go easy and stay within the TOU. Punishment will be swift for TOU violations...

Na, just kidding, Im not the guy who insists upon pickin at everything people say, just couldnt resist a little playful banter.

I would love to toy with some nitrous oxide but Im a little nervous of doing it without strengthening up the motor first.
