Car & Tech Talk / A1 Rabbit/Jetta / Re: Lets talk steering quickeners...

Not too hard, it took me about two days to do my setup with beer breaks.
I used an AFCO 1.5:1 quickener, w/power steering. (I would consider the power steering a necessity, as he man status would be achieved at low speeds).
I bought two GM straight couplers. I disassembled the column, removed the steering shaft, measured it about 20 times then sectioned it.
I then mock installed everything and built a 1/8" steel support and surround out of about ten pieces to allow the stock column to bolt to the quickener and still have the bearings straight at each end of the column. This allows me to bolt it into any golf one using the factory mounts. If I was smart I would have planned ahead and just used different mounts and a GM shaft, it would've been alot easier, but would have cost a fem more bucks, and I am a cheap ass.....sooo
I quadruple checked the straightness of everything, then welded the couplers to the factory steering shaft. Everything is mild steel so I just mig welded it...shit worked fine, I don't think there is any need to tig it, unless you are after piece of mind, chances are if it is going to break at some time, the stress is going to be at low speed.
I have been using it VERY successfully for this season, and I can guarantee our stage times were improved by at least .10 second per stage mile. I have not spun the car since that install, it is much easier to control the car, and is a shit load of fun.

I told my parents to buy stock for like $6 a share in apple in 1997 when they were in the shitter and they had just hired Jobs back.....fuck they would have had a nice return on that.
the iphone is dope, but they will have to do something about the price....but a phone on OS10 would own....that'd be the only PDA I would ever even consider.

so, myspace, I can't log in because I get this error and I have no clue what the hell it means:
Server Error in '/' Application.
Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".
<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
<configuration> <system.web> <customErrors mode="Off"/> </system.web> </configuration>
Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.
<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
<configuration> <system.web> <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/> </system.web> </configuration>
help?
