Getting ready to really rice it up!
I made another gauge plate today to hold three gauges. Im going for extreme idiotic and ricer, check it out. This is the first stage of Uncle Bens gauge plate.

You know.... Make 3 more faceplates and you could have 12 gauges! lol. Thatd be a boost, oil pressure, oil temp, volt, water temp, air/fuel ratio, and 6 more, lol.
|
Keep in mind they need to be in my line of sight so Im going to glue them to the windshield.

Hehe I like this thread. :) Any reason why you feel the need for a boost gauge though? It's a supercharger so it's not like you'll be adjusting the boost/tuning the car much. It's mounted too low to actually monitor so I'd assume its purpose would be for tuning on-the-fly by a passenger.

Ohio, I like what you have done but I wanted to add this vid just for fun.

That was very well done. |
Ohio, I think the gauge placement looks cool. It's not "ricer" to have a boost gauge because you have an SC in your car. It's quite appropriate to have the gauge. Plus you're not trying to "show off" your gauge by placing it where another driver can see it and lighting it up with LED's. I think the location you have it in is very Porsche-esk (sp?).

'cept that Porsche never installed a Boost gauge out of the Driver's line of sight. As mentioned, a boost gauge on a S/C is just a toy. Probably couldn't find an appropriate SC badge for the rear deck, so wanted to announce it to the world by adding the gauge (or he had an extra $0.52 burning a hole in his pocket) - RICER. IMHO, of course... Happy Motoring!... Jim'99 |
I appreciate all the opinions and took them to heart. I went to Autozone and bought a bottle of Rice Be Gone. I was in a hurry and didnt read the directions because of the several projets going on at the time, you know making a big wing out of 2x4's, neon under the car and the dragon graphic for the hood. Anyway, in my rush I didnt realize I was supposed to wear gloves and some spilled on my hands. Next thing you know not only did my ricer boost gauge disappear so did my personality. Slowly through out the day I was transformed in to a grumpy old man that thought he knew everything. It was bad, I yelled at those damn kids in the neighborhood with thier loud music. One kids ball even rolled into my damn driveway, little brat! My wife realized what was happening and sprayed me with Ass Be Gone now Im back to normal. Moral of the story, if you have an extra $2.99 burning a hole in your pocket give it a try.

Always willing to learn from others, I took your suggestion and got a bottle of Ass Be Gone. I applied it exactly according to the directions and nothing happened, nothing at all. So, I called the HelpLine number on the bottle (800) Ass Gone (800-277-4663) and told them of my problem with their product. I was referred to the Customer Service Mgr., a Mr. A.S. Finkter. Mr. Finkter told me that in Clinical Trials held at Duke University, they discovered that if a person wasn't suffering from the symptoms you describe of Ass-like behavior, that it would have absolutely no effect whatever, but that it was not in anyway harmful. He further went on to say that these Clinical Studies revealed that the product's greatest efficacy came when used on subjects who were the offspring of not too distantly related parents, and especially those with a particular fondness for the grain from the genus Oryza Sativa. He speculated that since the product had such a positive effect on you, that you most likely belong to both of these groups. He cautioned however, that subjects suffering the effects to the degree you had were particularly vulnerable to severe relapses if a statement they were to make were opposed, or disagreed with, even in the slightest. That these subjects only made statements, or in your case, postings on an Internet Forum, in order to gain the total affirmation and adoration of the Target Audience. Further, that if such was not received, the subject could lapse so far as to be thereafter untreatable and suffer chronic symptoms of Ass-like behavior for the rest of their life. :eek: He gladly agreed to refund my $2.99 and further said that as you apparently suffer so severly from this terribly impairing behavioral trait, he'll be sending you a coupon good for one free bottle of Ass Be Gone to see if they can't eradicate these symptoms you're having once and for all. Thank God! What an awakening for me, I don't mind telling you! Personally, I had no idea you suffered so severely from such an impairment, it must be awful for you and your family. I certainly don't want to be the cause of you're developing a chronic case, so I take back everything I said, or inferred, about your Boost Gauge install being stupid, useless, idiotic and merely your interpretation of the Peacock Effect. Please believe me, OH, when I say that I had no idea that your thread was really a cry for help! Best of Luck on your recovery!... Happy Motoring!... Jim'99 |
You guys have to stop... I think I wet myself from laughing (not a good thing to do at work)!!!
:cheers: |
I love this forums... :cheers:

Maybe your just jealous of the supercharger? I am. But my mom won't let me get one. Sad I know, lol. So why do you have such a devotion to winning and getting the last word in? That is just what my girlfriend does, lol. I just say fine, you win, and yet she keeps jibber jabbering. Ohio, I think you should concede this debate and say "Why yes, I have been foolish, I never thought of it that way. Thank you for showing me the error of my ways. How else can I change for you?" And Jim should say "Yay, I won. Were cool now dude, sorry for razzin ya." And then we can all be a big happy family again!

Bogg,
It is like arguing with a woman maybe he needed the extra strenth Ass Be Gone. They always want the last word......women, sheesh. |

Thanks for the recommendation on the book. I'll check that out. I didn't realize that you were a "cover model" as well. Cool. |
Not a bad idea Grizz, but we don't want to give him a good idea like that. Hed make millions.

Ill will be glad to be the first contribution to this fund.... $50 as soon as i get that 1.5 million dollar check from a Nigerian Businessman

Hi,
Pardon me, but I figured since you guys were so good at dishing it out (and you are... :) ), that you'd be equally adept at taking it. So much for that theory... I especially like when Griz ends up having to resort to %@**& in his arguements (not the 1st time either) - a real sign of intellectual prowess there (translation - that means I don't believe you are very smart). note to self: limit words to single syllables when writing to Griz, include pictures whenever possible... OH posted a mod for all to see, so he should, to use his term, Man Up in the face of opposing views by some whether they think it's needless, idiotic, or both, even if they just don't like it without resorting to personal attacks and barbs. If all he wants are people who are going to agree with him under any and all circumstances, he should either refrain from posting on a free forum, or spend the day talking to the mirror... Happy Motoring!... Jim'99 |

Since you love adding pictures to your posts to help with your snide and condescending remarks. I thought youd enjoy this.

I "resort" to "%@**&" to inject humor, or as a matter of style, to convey certain emphasis, in a rare few of my posts. I could refer you to any number of great authors who routinely use profanity in their narrative, as well as their characters' conversation, in an attempt to add realism. Of course, you are already familiar with all of their works, as you know everything. Do not strain yourself to limit your posts to single syllable words so that I may comprehend. My vocabulary is reasonably adequate. For instance, earlier today, I decided not to go forward with a post describing you as a obnoxious, narcissistic, insufferable, geriatric, has-been, blow-hard who borders on being sociopathic. Instead, I "resorted" to %@**& and humor so that you had no trouble following along. In my relatively short time here, there have been a great many arguments that have descended into pandemonium. With the exception of the KronixSpeed meltdown, the common denominator in the vast majority of these situations is MNBoxster. It occurs to me that if anyone needs to spend a day with the mirror, it is most likely you. Your "my way or the highway" attitude, rudeness, air of superiority, etc. rubs people the wrong way...really the wrong way. I suspect you spend an inordinate amount of time on the 986forum because no one in the vast State of Minnesota cares to associate with you. By the way, if you need me to correct the spelling or grammar in any of your future posts, please forward them to me. For instance, in English "arguement" is spelled argument. Additionally, we spell "severly" severely. ...so much for your intellectual prowess theory... |
Now Grizzly, I dont want you to hold back. Tell us how you really feel.........Jim, you need a hug?

Hi,
Berating each other can go on until the Sun exhausts it's fuel supply to no positive end, so I am bowing out. My detractors can choose to think they’ve won if that floats their boat, I won’t contest this. I don’t think anyone won, or could, frankly. Grizzly, you certainly are expert at hitting below the belt, I'll give you that... Not a shot, just an observation. I have no desire going there for the mere sake of winning, apparently we differ in that regard. For those who still have some semblance of objectivity remaining, read my original post in this thread and decide if it (along with humorous pic and emoticon), deserved the type of DEFCON4 backlash, from ohioboxster and Grizzly in particular. Admittedly, things escalated from there, and I regret my role in any of that… Happy Motoring!... Jim’99 |

sweet! you guys won!!!!! I'm surprised this wasn't pad locked awhile ago :D I like the supercharger, I like the mod, did I mention I REALLY like the supercharger!
for the record, I think you guys, Griz and Ohio, are right on this one....MN is really good at throwing out an opinion but not at someone else voicing their own..... |
wow I missed a real ****************fest. And we all know, in a ****************throwing(sp?) contest, the only winners are the people who aren't covered in **************** at the end.
Ohio I think I know who inspired you! :D very cool. I have a boost gauge on my S/Ced 318i, I love to watch it as the boost builds. Go oil temp and oil pressure beside the boost gauge. Grizzly- man I laughed so hard at your verbage I was crying! Jim- of course we love you buddy, but sometimes, you have to remind us that you do NOT know everything. I know, I know, its hard cause you DO know LOTS of stuff, but us mortals need to hear it from you at least once every 300th post or so....something along the lines of......."I know absolutely NADA about this topic" ...or...."I am completely CLUELESS on this".....or something you gotta throw us a bone sometimes.... |
my 52 cents. Hope you have 15 minutes
Boy I get a little busy and looky what happens. I have not been on the board for a really long time but I must say that Mr. MNBoxster's little pictures are without a doubt the most childish thing that I have ever seen posted on this board. Ever. (I'm touching you-I'm touching you...) Cmon Jim-most 10 year olds are more mature than this. Is that the best you got? Here's the room for people who care?? NERD ALERT!
I can't believe that you are calling Matt's setup ricer. (in my best Magnificent Seven accent) A man who don't want no trouble from no one.... Last week I saw Matt, his lovely wife and his awesome supercharged car and let me tell you that it is anything but ricer. He even let me get behind the wheel to see what he's got (Sorry Randall-eat your heart out :-P). And Matt-your car screams! So you want to know what's ricer? A Lotus with a Toyota engine, that's what. OG Ricer. Vroooom Vroooom. GM, Renault, Toyota and MORE! Truly a pile of world parts thrown together. OY VEY!! Not that lotus makes a bad car. It's just that if I wanted to hear about Lotus' I would be reading a Lotus board not a PORSCHE board. And if I have to read about your Lotus one more time........So you got a Lotus BFD. Here is the room......ooops! If you think so little of the Porsche brand and so much about the Lotus brand why do you spend so much time here? Why aren't you on one of the Lotus boards? On top of that you argue (and argue and argue) ridiculous points to death. You're WORSE than a dog with a bone. ---------------------------- And by the way aren't you the one who ripped Che up and down for not being a sponsor of the board? And didn't I just see a thread recently where someone asked where they could get some brake pads? And what did you do? Did you send them them to a sponsor or off the board? After your tirade to Che about bandwith, sponsorship, etc the least you could have done was to refer them to EPIQ. Sorry Todd but rest assured that I will be buying my Pagid pads from you because you are a sponsor of this and other fine Porsche boards and I appreciate your support. ---------------------------- QUOTE from MNBoxster 'cept that Porsche never installed a Boost gauge out of the Driver's line of sight. As mentioned, a boost gauge on a S/C is just a toy. Probably couldn't find an appropriate SC badge for the rear deck, so wanted to announce it to the world by adding the gauge (or he had an extra $0.52 burning a hole in his pocket) - RICER. IMHO, of course... Is that how you announce it to the world? By putting a tiny gauge INSIDE the cockpit? You for real????? Who's gonna see it there? A couple of people in SUV's? Maybe if they are in the passenger seat. This is almost as funny as when you took Che's neutrals and combined them with his negatives to make them all negatives!!! Wow-can you do my taxes for me??? ---------------------------- QUOTE from MNBoxster OH posted a mod for all to see, so he should, to use his term, Man Up in the face of opposing views by some whether they think it's needless, idiotic, or both, even if they just don't like it without resorting to personal attacks and barbs. Right. Like you did when I posted a VERY slight sarcasm of your extreme bashing of Che. How did you respond to that again? Well I guess you didn't "MAN UP" to that one. I guess this isn't a "personal attack or barb" then. QUOTE from MNBoxster I'm glad you're a Cancer Survivor, but I still think you're a jerk... BTW-YOU are the one who is always firing the first shot. ------------------------- QUOTE from CJ_Boxster Inshort... Your the sometimes obnoxious ahole that romes the forum, Gilbert Godfrey of this forum you might say. Well-I would agree with that but I also think that he does spend a lot of time with a Bentley and Porsche workshop manual at the ready so he can look up any question that is asked. He's so smart-He's my hero!!!!!!! ------------------------ QUOTE MNBoxster Grizzly, you certainly are expert at hitting below the belt, I'll give you that... Well isn't that the pot calling the kettle black! You need to go back and look at your past posts. Or better yet take them to a shrink. And while you're at it get a script for something really strong? Tony Soprano strong. Can we spell C-O D-E-P-E-N-D-A-N-T? ------------------------ QUOTE from super66 for the record, I think you guys, Griz and Ohio, are right on this one....MN is really good at throwing out an opinion but not at someone else voicing their own... Couldn't agree more. ----------------------- Jim-Has anyone told you that you have a striking resemblance to Cliff Clavin from Cheers? And good for the same thing. A cheap laugh and not much else. IMHO of course. ----------------------- FINALLY-FROM A PAST POST Quote MNBoxster you decide to take a swing at me from left field, not in reply to any specific post by me, not adding anything constructive, but just to Showboat and Grandstand. QUOTE der Geist I'd hardly call that a swing. Maybe a tap. You are pretty sensitive considering the posts you have made on this subject. Now THIS is a swing from left field. Can't say I didn't try and tell you. Now you know the difference. (I'm touching you-I'm touching you) ----------------------------- QUOTE from MNBoxster I'm glad you're a Cancer Survivor, but I still think you're a jerk... And if you are going to resort to name calling again please try to do it in a less patronizing way. ----------------------------- NOW GO GET YOUR SHINE BOX!!!!! |
der geist...very well said! clapping my hands right after I read it and it's only 5:30am here, my wife think im going crazy...hehehehehe!
finally, someone really put everything on his table for him to see. IMHO...Jim help a lot of member but i notice right after he answer it, he will throw in something negative about the question.... BTW...glad to hear from you again! |
I vote for locking this thread. I don't see anyone benefiting from keeping it open any longer. Just my $.02
Z. |
I was hoping that this thread would play itself out. Alas, I was wrong.
Lets move on, this clearly is not worth it. Thanks for playing though! |
