Alright sounds good. I'm going to see if I can get juiced or some other vendor to get me a sweet deal. Otherwise I'll just find a universal WW bottle.

I firmly believe college is the biggest scam out there. There's nothing you learn there that you couldn't learn in 1/4 of the time with on the job training. It's perpetuated because you can't get a job in many areas without a degree and the government makes a killing on student loan interest. So colleges lower standards, let more people in that probably would be better served doing unskilled labor (nothing wrong with that) , classes are taught to the lowest student, and no actual knowledge transfer takes place.

It's a very expensive piece of paper. I honestly think we're the dumb ones for going, but we really don't have a choice in this society.

I hate to say it because I'm currently about to turn 20 and currently in college pursuing my BBA in Accounting but I fully agree with this statement. I mean just being here and seeing what some other students are like, is terrible. Some people are just so dumb it seriously amazes me that they are even able to read a competent level let alone make it into college. Even from a young age, I was told "be careful in college, nothing will ever be harder". Yea right! The classes are so easy I could sleep through them and still maintain my 4.0 without breaking a sweat. I've learned more doing accounting work for my aunt who has her own business than I have at the time I've been at the school. It's sad really because this piece of paper is so expensive and for what?

I think it may depend on the college. The Finance course required for all Business students to take at Baylor had nearly a 70% fail rate the first time through. Thank God I fell into the minority, lol.

I think so too. Had that happen to a couple of my classes (Organic Chemistry, Physics). I'm normally a B+/A- student and when I took my BioInorganic Chemistry and my Organometallic Chemistry course those were ridiculous and I wasn't the only one, out of a class of 10 EVERYONE was failing haha. I do have to say though that it is harder to get into a school than it is to stay in one.

Hey so random question that has been bugging me lately. We all know how losing rotational mass is important right? Well I got to thinking would it have a better affect of losing rotational mass on the front tires or the rear tires since they produce the power. I personally think it is more beneficial on the rear tires.

I would think the rears are more beneficial since they are the ones that need to begin rolling but the fronts are probably near equivliant since if you have a larger weight you need more power to get them up to speed. Hope that makes sense

I have a question ive been wanting to ask for years lmao. In the following picture, you can see the long tube that runs from the intake elbow to the back of the manifold or something. There used to be a plastic piece with a bigger plastic filter of some sort there. Was I suppose to replace that? Or was I suppose to cut the tube to fit that? I remember the G5CR instructions didnt mention anything about it and that is why I am questioning my decision.

When I put in my CAI inc intake I left the in-line filter that goes there. If I'm not mistaken it should always stay there. It's part of the clean side PCV system

I think it should be one but I am by no means an expert. Maybe someone else with a little more knowledge can chime in.

I would personally put it back on unless you're running a breather

Not new here (I'm sure most of you have seen me around at some point)....but new to posting on this thread. I'm older than y'all....

I'm old and married now (got married three months ago) but super happy....and I know the least about cars, haha. Most of you have helped me out at some point and time.

I've been in the workforce for exactly four years now (after finishing graduate school) and can say I definitely learn more on the job than at school (although I did learn quite a bit in my specific field). College is not necessary...yet most of the time it's a necessity (sadly).

I need to frequent this thread more often...tons of info!!!!
