Re: ask anything thread
OK I have one. What is the difference between an na6 and an nb6 engine?
Only thing I can think of is one is obd2.

Re: ask anything thread
some of NB6 cars are OBDI (including mine). Around here, OBDII was introduced maybe in 2002.
Difference is the same as between NA8 and NB8
NB6 has hall sensors, shim over bucket system. But it uses the BP throttle body. Intake manifold and header bolt patterns are the same as on NA6.
NA6 has a bit more power (3kw or so), but there was a second NA B6 (94-97) that was restricted to 66kw to increase the difference between NA8 and NA6 (less then 10kw between the 89-93 B6 and BP)
Do you want to know anything in particular?

When you've ruled out the vacuum lines, replaced the gas cap, and replaced the purge valve solenoid, what's the next step in getting rid of a P0455 code?

Re: ask anything thread
Does the r package front lip really do anything beneficial? I took it off when i got the car painted and looks wise it is a toss up. I do not tend toward one way or another. Just at this point I am contemplating if I should sell it or use it.

Can I fit 15x17 -32 wheels on my NA without rolling or pulling the fenders?
I'll poop in your butt hole and then you will poop it back into my butt and we will keep doing it back and forth with the same poop. Forever.

Yes, the front R-lip lowers drag. There's a reason all the Spec guys have them on their cars.

I would say 8, but it also depends on offset.
6UL's come in 15x9 but have positive offset letting you fit a wider tire. As opposed to having a 15x9 et0 which will poke some and will have to stretch tire to get it to fit properly.
Here is a local HOT-lantian. 15x8 +15 on 205/50

Plan was 0 offset but am not opposed to some positive offset as well I don't the poke... Are there advantages to stretch compared fitted besides fitting correctly

Re: ask anything thread
Autocrossing yesterday, the outside of my front tires look like they got a bit hotter/more worn out than the rest of the tire. What does that mean? Do I need to actually play with tire pressure?

Put your dick in all of them. Let nature take it's course.

But honestly, online dating is only good for hookups if you ask me. If I was looking for an actual quality relationship I wouldn't look there. The best way to get those sort of things is to get involved with groups doing things. Like joining a team of some sort like beach volleyball or like a bowling team. There's a thing in Chicago called Events and Adventures which organizes all sorts of shit to do in the city for singles to attend. It's meant to get you out there doing something and just networking and meeting new people. Finding a person of interest comes later and you'll be more prone to get to know the ladies in no pressure sort of situation. Plus when your having fun doing what you do, your naturally more attractive to the opposite sex. Just be active and put yourself in social situations where there are females and the rest will just come to you. If your a chive person there's tons of chive members who frequently have meetups etc at bars and other locations. I know redditors do meetups as well too. Maybe see if there's any local groups that do pub-crawls etc in your area.

There is a reason all those girls on online dating.
That being said, I have had a couple friends find successful relationships on the pay sites, one is meow engaged to said girl after dating for 3(?) years.
The free sites are worthless, I hear my roommate bitching all the time because he is too cheap to pay for it. And we live in a young town full of girls, so I don't know why he's bothering with free online dating.

In my experience, they usually put out sooner and are freakier... I had this one girl who I totally fell for the "Myspace angles" on her page. Turns out she probably weighed the same as me. I was maybe like 170lbs at the time. She wasn't bad looking just chubby. At first I wanted to run when she was walking to my car, but then I decided, fuck it. And turns out we ended up having a pretty decent date. She was fun to be around. Plus she probably gave me the best head of my life and swallowed everything. We kept seeing each other for another 2 times and each one was phantastic. Thinking back on it I kinda miss it. Not really her par-say, just the like rush of not wanted anyone to see who your with and being kinda embarrassed but damn it feels so good kinda feeling lol. I know, I'm an asshole. Oh to be single again...

Re: ask anything thread
Well, I'm on both free and pay sites. Also, every other girl here seems to be a single mom. I'm good with kids, but I feel bad, because they get attached to me easily. So, I'm afraid I'll traumatize them when their bat shit crazy mom makes me run.
I've done the whole hogging thing back in college. I don't mind thick girls, actually kinda like em. But when I call a girl super fat... she's too close to my weight for comfort.
