3807 Lbs - 180 Lbs - 3080 Lbs = 547 Lb Reduction! 
That's awesome. I had not realized that you dropped that much. I am proud of you buddy.
How you like the stiff suspension?
Blasphemy.
I been running 4.5 gallon or less for 78k miles. And, I am in Houston where all summers days are 95* and above. Many days are 100* and above.
I ran 4.5 gallons for 20k miles.
I ran 3.0 gallons for 58k miles.
I am now running 2.5 gallons because I got a new job a little closer to home.
Even if the pump did break, just replace it.

about the gas fillup, i was scared LOL...even thow the new pump is on its way, i just didnt want to take the risk....pretty soon, i will go back to running only 3 gallons....
Congrats on the new job.... <indian accent>where is the party yaar</ indian accent>
Well I had planned on doing 2 Type F, 1 D4 for all my 3x3 but for some reason I only got enough Type F for 2x3, so I might need some more Type F for my 3x3. Either way, I'll probably end up buying that 3rd case from you anyways to have enough for a 4x3 when the time comes. Thanks for the thought!

Couple things here
1> ATF: With the stock Z1 fluid, i used to do a drain and refill every 5K miles and it was putting a hole in a wallet and my jeans....I thought of running Redline for 60K miles and then doing a 4x3 but I still cannot justify to drain new fluid i put in there every 500 miles. So am thinking of changing the game and doing a drain and refill every 15K miles...the first 4x3 with Redline was done using ALL TYPE F fluid. Going forward, every drain and refill will have 1 Lightweight Type F, 1 Type F and 1 D4....
2> Switches and Transmission Filter I thought an interval of 60K miles should be good for the switches but I have to saw, at 50K miles on the switch, i notice a lag on the 2nd to 3rd switch....and a slight lag on 3rd to 4th switch....so I am reducing this interval to 45K miles....
Am done for my day here at work....gonna work from home....will post an update pic from home

Wacker, I'm going to make you feel a whole lot better. I have a friend and coworker named:
CAKSACKKAR
And I am not lying.
EDIT: nice shots Anil, wish they were a bit bigger and in that last one or so, wish the front wheel was slightly cut the other way. You're coming along great with your skills though, I must say.

My 4th grade bus drivers last name was Talley. That was a shitty year. I have learned to embrace my name. I was a skinny blond headed kid, now I am 235lbs and bulky, shaved head, and goatee. People don't recognize me unless I want them to. When they do, they don't say "John, is that you?" they say "WACKER!!!!". Hell....Yes!!

Understood, and I can see why you would depending on the context. But to be honest...all I was stating is that maybe our cultures and how we were raised being so different was why we had such a hard time agreeing on ANYTHING.

I see the suggestion by Steven to extend the olive branch remains ignored...
and to think, I still managed to refrain from stooping to name calling.
If those were taken with your Note, you need to mess with the "white balance" setting to try and get it to lower the intensity when the sun is out in full force. Overall, cool pictures though.

^^^ Jeremy....as i mentioned i dont take things too personally....you can name call me and it wont make any difference....but am particularly defensive about my upbringing and my culture because those things make who i am today....and i owe it all to my upbringing....i know you didnt mean any harm but am defensive about those things....
and yes, i forgive and forget....more than Steven's suggestion, i picked up on your cue when you said "hands extended and waiting for a handshake"....and honestly i did shake hands in my head....
there are some comments which i dont like to reply to as i know where it will lead us so I just agree to disagree, dont take it personally as we are 2 very different people and lets just embrace that fact
EDIT: yes those were taken using my phone...or phablet....i just parked my car and had to get to my desk for a call so shot couple pix without adjusting any settings....to a point that the pix were taken at 3 or 4MP as compared to the 8MP capability of the phone...

Fair enough...I guess I sometimes misinterpreted your silence or red text (from other thread) as a "fk you" rather than a "let's not go there".
The reason I say about the android for taking pictures is if you mess with the white balance and change it to spot or matrix...it's hard to get it right but if you notice if you move the frame of the shot up it'll get lighter and down it'll get darker (I am guessing it's using the clouds and sky to determine how dark the rest should be). It's really hard to get the lighting right with it, although the pictures do come out crisp.

LOL...well to be honest, shooting with the android is really hard to get consistently good shots! The lighting is my biggest nemesis...to get it to NOT be too dark or light is rough!
Thanks for the thanks...been a while
And again, I want to reiterate that my mention of your culture was not in a derogatory sense. I wouldn't do that.

Anil, when the iPhone 5 comes out I'll sell you my iPhone 4S to replace your BA phone. I think you'll like its photo capabilities a little better than Android's. The camera on the 4S is probably the best on the market right now.
