    Picts from a recent vintage race I did

    The pit cart was made by some NASCAR frame fabricators in their spare time. All powder coated a bright blue, 355 cu in V8 with a racing Powerglide which made it easy to drive. It was for sale, but I never asked how much.......

    Picts from a recent vintage race I did

    I don't just do computer stuff although it helps pay for my first love, racing my old sports car. These picts were taken in June at the CA Speedway in Fontana CA. The Mustangs rev to about 7500 RPM or more now.

    New Monitor for my PC, a 24 inch Samsung

    PVR is the sofware, the brand name is KWorld, Global TV Terminator, Delux version. The cost here in Chula Vista is $32 and is probably goping down since I bought it a short while ago. I appologize as I should have looked at the box before I posted the info on the monitor.

    New Monitor for my PC, a 24 inch Samsung

    My daughter wanted my old flat screen monitor so I decided to get one of the new 24 inch 9x16 format Samsung SyncMaster 245BW monitors. The difference is amazing as all the colors are much brighter than before but there are several things that make it even cooler. First is you can increase the...

    Here's a link to a website that has all sorts of adapters. They might be able to help? I have a burl dash overlay in my 2000 model and that is why I did not want to cut things up. DOUBLE DIN MOUNTING KITS - ( AUTOTOYS.COM )

    Double din nav/dvd unit into din and a half space?

    When looking at replacing my in dash unit I thought of trying the same thing. It looked like I would have to cut the dash to get something in. I gave up the idea when I saw the Kenwood flipup unit with the Kenwood (Garmin) GPS module and multiple aux inputs including a backup cam. The unit slid...

    Jensen VM9311TS

    My Kenwood has a pink wire and I grounded it and everything works all the time. I think most new aftermarket steros are color coded the same.

    DVD Navigation Radio

    If you mean the stock factory system, I don't know? With my Kenwood flat screen system with the GPS module and TV module I can switch back and forth between TV, GPS or DVD when driving and with the dogs in the back seat, they love it. You can also select different audio sources from what you are...

    Computer Upgrade, what I did and why.

    That is pretty easy to fix. DVD/CD burners are $20 or less here in San Diego so I hope it isn't too expensive.

    Computer Upgrade, what I did and why.

    A little background about me first: I have worked as a software engineer since 1985 when I retired from the US Navy as a Nuc engineer and have taught computer science for Chapman U. and UOP in San Diego since 1989 but I hate messing with hardware! Since I just had to replace my main home PC due...

    Towing question

    Having towed my vintage race car for 8 years on an open trailer and now in a 5th wheel tow hauler I can give my insite. I was told by my racing mentor to buy the largest straps possible and attach them to either wheels through the spokes or around solid suspension such as A-arms or rear axles...

    Bought a DVD burner, better than TIVO......

    All setup boxes I have had, including the old 12 foot dish system, Cox Cable and my current Dish Network, have a connector on the rear for TV-out and that is what I use. The box is actually in the living room near where the cables come through the wall and I have a Radio Shack signal booster to...

    Bought a DVD burner, better than TIVO......

    We bought a new HD monitor for the house a few weeks ago and also bought a DVD burner/player and it has worked great. Here is what I did which ended up being a pretty good setup finally I think. I bought the Westinghouse 42 inch "monitor" at Best Buy and it ended up at $889 and since it is a...

    I needed to replace the 16 year old TV set in the bedroom and the wife said she wanted a new plasma flat screen ever since I bought one for the toy hauler. I ended up buying the 42 inch Westinghouse HD "monitor" (W4207) from Best Buy for $979 and change and then getting the LG DVD...

    Mobile Broadband Questions

    We have been using a Sprint card in a laptop to provide internet access for 6 to 8 of us in our new office until the slow-pokes at ATT&T can get us connected. We get pretty good speed and also have it configured to let VPN out I get VPN into the office so I can work on our databases remotely. I...

    Make your Internet Browser Much Faster.

    I think FireFox actually have a pull down menu setting that can do the same thing.

    Make Your IE Browser Much Faster!

    The only downside is you are putting a heavier load on whichever server you are connecting to. In today's world of 64 bit multi CPU machines I think they can easily handle it.

    Make your Internet Browser Much Faster.

    I have posted this in the General section too but I figured it would be seen here too. When you connect to a web site such as this one all internet browsers only use one connection which is a standard. This can be overridden and if you use 16 or 32 or even 64 as a setting then web pages...

    Tranny lock??

    Here is the post I did earlier this year as I installed a combo exhaust brake and torque converter lock. I found a side benefit that with the trans lock switch "on" that the truck will barely start and then immediately die due to the transmission pulling the engine down. <quote> I bought one...

    Don't let your truck idle in Ocotillo CA!!!

    As BushPilot said, the alarm with the kill feature is the thing to have. I was looking at one when I went and bought the Keenwood/Garmin GPS system and flat screen for the dually and after this weekend I moved the purchase to the top of the to-get-list.

    Don't let your truck idle in Ocotillo CA!!!

    We were coming back from a weekend of camping this morning and on the CA S2 highway going towards Ocotillo we saw the Highway Patrol and a Sheriff going the otherway with lights on and siren blasting. We stopped for breakfast and had just started eating when the resturant's owner came in, mad as...
