You know the clips that hold the sun visor in place... If it is made out of plastic...that's it, I will cancel my order...

If you have a NO2 backfire they break...but that's it.

I can not believe you are worried about this. Seriously....this is THE best choice.

actually..every molecule of plastic ever made is still someplace some where...either space or earth...but still in existance....much iron is completely oxidized and well....gone.

My all time favorite of all of the Star Trek's. I watched it with my dad in one of the best movie theaters in the world

I was 7 years old and really into Star Trek at the time watching the original series everyday so the movie was definitely the best.. Nowadays all of the cool futuristic stuff Kirk used like the communicator is not is impactful anymore as back then the only thing beeping in your pocket would have been a pocket pager if it actually fit in your pocket..I sure hope the new Star Trek film with a young Kirk and Spock doesn't aim for an audience that the new Knight Rider tv show seems to go after instead of the loyal fans.....

During Star Trek IV, Scotty (the Enterprises Chief Engineer) had a hilarious scene where he had to give the formula for a futuristic form of a polymer that could withstand enormous water pressure since they needed to transport two whales from the past (our present back in 1986) and take them to the future to save the planet.. Great movie and a very nice ending to the trilogy of Star Trek's II, III, and IV.... I reccomend watching Star Trek II and III first and some of the original TV show episodes like Trouble with Tribbles, Shore Leave, Mirror Mirror and City on the Edge of Forever to get into the show and get to know the characters. What makes the movie so great are the interactions between the lovable characters that you got to know over time.. Rarely do TV show's turn into movies worth watching..

The scene of the Enterprise or other Constitution class ship being built is amazing. I like Heroes and think Sylar makes a good young Spock (he's almost identical from certain angles that its scary) Young Kirk will tkae some getting used to as he doesn't look anything like The Shat... But yeah this trailer is pretty amazing and brings my hopes up that this will be a movie made for the fans of the original crew.. Thanks for posting the link.. It must have just come out...

Well I wasn't going to post this but since this has drifted into a Star Trek thread I guess it couldn't hurt.

I thought some guys were a little harsh and over the line trying to belittle the OP as they did. I though he took it very well, thanks to him for not turning around and trying to insult others and turning it into a flame fest like you see on so many other boards.

Some things to remember:

*People get interested in things automotive at all different times in life for all different reasons. Have to start somewhere.

*Even the "experts" can't know everything.

* Lack of knowledge or ignorance can be fixed easily, but as Fbodfather says, "You can't fix stupid."

OFF TOPIC!!!! Now I know this thread isn't about brakes, but for the sake of continuity, here is something that Rogue Leader may find interesting:

"Brakes - Brakes are the Achilles Heel of the E30 M3. On the track, street - performances pads have actually melted and stuck to the rotors so that the brakes dragged all the way around the track."

http://www.kormanautoworks.com/E30M3racingtips.htm

And JFTR: If your CALIPERS are touching your brake rotors or disCs, then you indeed have serious problems, only the brake PADS should ever touch the rotors.
