![]() ![]() The racing hobby certainly isn’t cheap by any stretch of the imagination, and everyone has a budget, but selecting the proper suspension components the first time may end up saving you a few dollars down the road when you have to buy it a second or third time. And to do so we turned to one of the experts in the field.ĭave Zimmerman, the man behind Team Z Motorsports in Taylor, Michigan, is without question one of the most knowledgeable and experienced individuals in the racing suspension business – especially when it comes to our beloved Mustangs – and so when we set out to provide our Late Show-like Top 10 list, there was simply no one better for the job.įrom the home office in Taylor, Michigan, here ladies and gentleman is tonight’s Top 10 list. Many misconceptions, outdated thought processes, and pure oversights exist regarding the preparation of a stock suspension Mustang, and to rectify that, we’ve compiled a list of suspension pointers and tuning techniques to cater to everyone from the beginner to the seven-second showmen. Because much like a full-on race suspension, several elements exist in stock and stock-style suspension systems that can make or break the performance of a car, regardless of whether it’s producing 300 or 3,000 horsepower.įor those of you out there with ten second and quicker Mustangs or those with such cars on the drawing board, suffice it to say, you’d like to get the most out of your investment, and cutting corners or overlooking things in the suspension department isn’t going to get you there. TALLER & WIDER is clearly the move, maybe I'll give the new NT-05 R's a shot, they're cheap enough.As a whole movement of doorslammer racers have proven over the last handful of years, a world of potential exists in a stock suspension-equipped vehicle when not only planned out and constructed accordingly, but fine tuned with an astute attention to detail. I know it'll get better in the heat (I go through this every year ) but I also know there is no way in hell I can race on them so I am going to have two sets of rear rims and tires and the new tires need to be better than what I currently have. I guess to their defense the L's do have insane low end tq but I've roasted these on the Cobra on 50 degree days and it's still like driving on ice. Tim, I've had 555R's on 3 Lightnings and I'm sorry but they were just useless to me, even in the heat of the summer and even after smoking the shit out of them. I would almost try the new Nitto NT-05 R but I've had such terrible luck with 555R's in the past on numerous Lightning's and now the Cobra that I'm afraid it would be another useless set of tires, although they look pretty cool. ![]() I dont think I can get way with 30" tall tires so I'm thinking 27-1/2" - 28" Tall is where I should go and that should be a HUGE DIFFERENCE compared to what I currently have. ![]() On my 9 sec L I used 30 x 13-1/2 tires on the street but this Cobra has a MUCH HIGHER Power To Weight Ratio and is 10 times worse for traction. I clearly have enough power to go an 1-1/2" taller and a 1-1/2" wider, my current tires are 26.41 x 12.01 If you dont have any side wall they cant do what they suppose to do and wont hook worth a shit. Usually I would go to a smaller wheel taller tires but since I dont have that choice I at least want to go taller so I dont end up with a low profile slick with no give. The 315's are a full inch shorter than what I currently have and the 335's are a half inch shorter. The problem is I ruled them out because they only have offer 315/30/18 & 335/30/18 and both are to short They would be 1.1 " Taller and 1.57" Wider than what I have now. So do you think in my case I could fit 345/35/18 ? ![]() (when the snow melts I'll get under and measure) So that tells me I can go another 1-1/2" wider and remove the spacer providing I have enough room on the inside, which I think I do. So they used 1" billet aluminum spacers behind the rear rims (for flush offset). I have a 8.8 SRA Rear (3.73 Gears, Eaton Posi, Moser 31 Spline Axles) that's 3/4" shorter on each side than the orig irc was. I know the 18" would be as good so going taller is a must for them to hook and of course wider. I've had luck with 15" Mickey Thompson ET Street Drag Radials before and will most likely go with them in 18" when I save a few more bucks. I currently have Brand New 305/35/18 Nitto NT555R's but they suck monkey ass for traction so I'll probably sell them while they're new with my current 18x10 Chrome Saleens or just keep them as my winter tires & rims. So I have another set of 18x10 Chrome Saleens on the way and I want to get some REAL Drag Radials for the rear (which have to double as Track Tires should I decide to have some fun on the 1320). Unfortunately due to the fact that my Cobra has 6 piston front and 4 piston rear calipers with 13" & 12" rotors I'm basically stuck with 18" rims. ![]()

![]() ![]() Kyle Ferrin’s artwork is able to inject so much personality into these small creatures with the bare minimum of colors and linework. ![]() The artwork integrates with the base game quite smoothly, style-wise. Play to their needs and they will be yours for life (or until end-game scoring). And the dogs are willing to stick around with their people as long as they are not neglected. I think most of us are familiar with neighborhood porch cats, wandering from home to home in search of a nice sunny nap spot or bird-hunting. Cats and dogs behave in the game as they do in real life. It is very apparent a lot of thought was put into the theme of the base game, and the expansion is no exception. These fickle, roaming creatures add a dose of variety to the game. One cat in particular is actually a nuisance and forces its owner to spend an extra resource to upgrade Fort levels. Bandit lives up to its name by stealing resources from a rival’s pack, and Scratch is more guard dog than cat, sending the neighborhood kids home for some first aid. The cat benefits are less powerful than that of dogs, especially when they don’t stick around for long, but they still can be very useful. That is a completely different way to play and it might be a lot of fun to try. ![]() That being said, I don’t mind adding in the cat module and I am interested to see what happens when a player decides to go all-in on a Cat Lady strategy, working to create a deck of kids meant to be relegated to the yard for maximum cat attraction. It will probably just take me some time to get used to them, whereas the dogs are shuffled into the deck and are a lot more front-and-center. There have been several turns where I’ve accidentally ignored the cat sneaking around my yard and its ability went under-utilized. The cats are easy enough to add in as well however, in my experience they are also easy to forget. But to counterbalance this take-that mechanic, Loki is then added to the victim’s doghouse, so there is a bit of a risk in playing him. Loki, on the other hand, has fewer requirements to play and has the ability to take 3 resources from a rival’s board. As is often the case with many of these dogs, Watson cannot be played right away – players must be at Fort Level 1+ and have a card in their lookout. Some dogs are quite powerful, such as Watson who allows for some made-up rule flexibility. The dog module in particular blends in nicely as the dogs work similarly to the kid cards, but with a few twists and turns to add some interest. The dogs and cats have very clear effect explanations on their cards, and the doghouses themselves explain the dog card mechanics. Players familiar with the base game should be able to pick up the new rules in a matter of minutes. They compliment the game without changing it significantly – something I tend to like with expansions. I am happy to report that the expansion did not disappoint.īoth modules seem to integrate into the game well without disrupting the core mechanics. As a pet-lover I was very excited to add Cats & Dogs to the game. If you’ve read my review on Fortyou already know that I think the game is quite good. At the end of the game cats are worth victory points – and the more you are able to collect, the higher they score. Cats are not loyal like dogs, and they will mosey over to another yard whenever that player meets their requirements. If you are lucky enough to attract one of these fickle creatures you may enjoy a benefit… For a time. What a good boy! The good boys and girls of Fort Cat ModuleĬats wander around the neighborhood looking for a yard that pleases them. Leder Games does not condone animal cruelty! If you can meet a dog’s specific needs they can be played just like a normal kid card, and you receive a powerful action before settling them into your doghouse. At the end of the game, whoever has the most dogs in their doghouse scores seven points.ĭogs play very similarly to friend cards with a few exceptions: they cannot be trashed nor can they be assigned to lookout duty. But if you have a dog card in your hand that goes to your yard neglected, it will wander off to another player’s discard pile and see if it can find a good home there. If you play a dog it will usually stick around and go to your own personal doghouse. You can choose to play with one type of pet, or both. In this expansion players have the ability to add cats and dogs to the neighborhood antics. OverviewĬats & Dogs is a modular expansion to Leder Game’s Fort (see my review for more information on the base game). ![]() The publisher gifted me a copy of this game expansion however, I always strive to provide fair, honest opinions. ![]() ![]() ![]() This prevents comparison of recipes.įinally, I'm not really sure, but I couldn't find a way to create smart recipe lists based on preparation/cooking times. Also, command-~ normally switches windows, but this does not work in MacGourmet. For example, the default "OK" button is often highlighted, but pressing "return" on the keyboard does not click it, as expected under OS X. While this is more fiddly, this option prevents this confusion. ![]() Some other programs I have used also allow user-defined ingredients. Also, depending on the name of ingredients listed in different recipes, the shopping list can produce separate listings for flour, plain flour, and flour (plain), etc. Alternatively, user-defined page breaks would be helpful. The shopping lists could be formatted more intelligently, with page breaks at logical spots, such as between shops. The chef view really needs a split view to allow simultaneous viewing of ingredients and instructions. Not good when you have a handful of raw chicken. Many recipe instructions refer to the ingredients for quantities, but the chef view forces you to scroll up to the top. Perhaps a user-defined unit equivalence list would be useful, or at least a list of what MacGourmet's pre-defined conversions are. For example, if one recipe calls for 200 g of flour, and another for an ounce, the shopping list totals these to 201 g. The shopping list is often incapable of adding ingredients of different units correctly. Unfortunately, the developers haven't responded to emailed feedback, which always makes me wary of future development of a paid product.

You can be killed by the flames however the blueprints will remain until picked up. The corpse will ignite into a fireball, and after it burns away, there will be a blueprint to craft the EXPcalibur weapon. The player must hold the interact button for close to 3 minutes before they can pull the sword from the corpse, a reference to the story of King Arthur and the Sword in the Stone (in this case sword in the zombie). The HUD of this weapon reads "This EXPcalibur belongs to me.". ![]() On this rock is a decomposing corpse, who is gripping a large, medieval battle sword lodged in his chest. Out in the water bordering the Slums, towards the far southeastern part of the map, there is a small rock. See below for the easter egg.ĭying Light - SECRET Sword EXPCalibur Location & Blueprint The EXPcalibur can be found close to this. More ammunition can be found in police vans and the gun could also be turned over to Dawud for his quest " Gunslinger" early on. The weapon only has two rounds in it, but it is a way to obtain a firearm early in the game. In the house, there is a dead man in a chair, who has shot himself in the head. One of the homes has boxes of fruit and cases of water, with a sign reading "Take what u want won't be needing these anymore". In the Slums district, there is an abandoned little shore side village. This is a reference to the Loot Cave in Destiny which was abused by players for farming until a patch was added and the area made into an Easter Egg. Killing all of them will cause another message to appear reading: Inside, are several chests of loot, and hordes of infected that will attack the player in waves. "Your destiny is to build your legend (and get loot)." Upon entering a notification will appear reading: In the Slums area, there is a cave hidden in the mountains near the harbor, on the northeastern side of the map. The zombies in the room will perform a rather pleasant dance number to the music for a few minutes, then will attack the player. Ignore him, and enter the hangar, and quickly turn to the nearby radio on the power box, and switch it on. The player will be sent here during " The Prodigal Son" side quest to find Alexei's son, Kristov.Įarly in the game, the player will have the chance to help a survivor Babar Kizil, who claims to be a werewolf, found at the train depot. On the shore side of the Slums, there is a zombie infested motel named Bites Motel, a reference to the television series Bates Motel, which itself a reference to the movie Psycho and the character of Norman Bates.

It allowed players to fire electricity from their hand, at the cost of stamina. It is worth noting, that the original weapon in Dead Island itself is an Easter egg, referencing the Electro Bolt plasmid from BioShock. Upon reaching and obtaining two different eyes for the skull at different parts of Old Town and placing both eyes into the skull's hollow eye sockets in one single game session, the blueprints for the hand of glova, which also appears as a developer's weapon in Dead Island, can be obtained. In the residence and safe-house of Ishaq which can be entered during and after the side mission " Do You Believe?", there is a skull on a stone with an eight-pointed star. It is also interesting to note the toolbox reuses the Antizin airdrop case seen in other parts of the game.ĭying Light Right Hand of Glova Easter Egg While the player is kicking the toolbox, Crane makes several remarks to attempt to discourage the player from successfully opening the crate. On the roof of the apartment building in the Slums, near the entrance to the underground parking lot quarantine zone, if a certain blue toolbox found back behind some crates and barrels is kicked about 74-75 times, the blueprints for the Korek Machete, a machete named after Korek, a developer of Dying Light can be obtained. ![]() All can be found in hard to access, high places.

Estimates of their record sales range from 150 million to 300 million records, making them one of the world's best-selling music artists. May and Taylor have performed under the Queen name with Paul Rodgers and Adam Lambert as vocalists on tours since. In 1991, Mercury died of bronchopneumonia, a complication of AIDS, and Deacon retired in 1997. The last concert featuring their classic line up—the final live performance of Mercury—took place at Knebworth, England in August 1986. Their performance at the 1985 Live Aid concert has been ranked among the greatest in rock history by various music publications. "Another One Bites the Dust" (1980) became their best-selling single, while their 1981 compilation album Greatest Hits is the best-selling album in the UK and is certified eight times platinum in the US. By the early 1980s, Queen were one of the biggest stadium rock bands in the world. The band's 1977 album News of the World contained "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions", which have become anthems at sporting events. Queen's earliest works were influenced by progressive rock, hard rock and heavy metal, but the band gradually ventured into more conventional and radio-friendly works by incorporating further styles, such as arena rock and pop rock, into their music. Their classic line-up was Freddie Mercury (lead vocals, piano), Brian May (lead guitar, vocals), Roger Taylor (drums, vocals), and John Deacon (bass guitar). Queen are a British rock band that formed in London in 1970. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Exhaust De-Cats & Exhaust Gasket Kits De-Cat Ford Ranger 2.5Td 1999-2006 De-Cat Ford Ranger 2006-2011 (Manual Transmission) De-Cat Isuzu Pickup 2.5Td / 3.0Td 2006-2012 De-Cat Isuzu Pickup 2.5Td 2001-2003 (Intercooler Fitted) De-Cat Isuzu Pickup 2003-2006 De-Cat Isuzu Trooper 3.0Td 1999-2005 De-Cat Mazda Pickup 2.5Td 1999-2006 De-Cat Mazda Pickup 2.5Td 2006-2011 (Manual Transmission) De-Cat Mitsubishi L200 2.5Td 2001-2006 De-Cat Mitsubishi Shogun /Pajero 3.2Did 2000-2006 De-Cat Toyota Hilux 2.5Td / 3.0Td 2007-2011 De-Cat Toyota Land Cruiser 4.2Td 1998-2007 Exhaust fitting & Hanger kit Daihatsu Fourtrak Diesel 1985-2004 Exhaust Fitting & Hanger Kit Ford Ranger 2.5Td (16v) 2006-2011 Exhaust Fitting & Hanger Kit Ford Ranger 2.5Td 1999-2005 Exhaust fitting & Hanger kit Isuzu Pickup Diesel 2003-2012 Exhaust fitting & Hanger kit Isuzu Trooper Diesel 1992-2005 Exhaust Fitting & Hanger Kit Mazda Pickup 2.5Td (16v) 2006-2011 Exhaust Fitting & Hanger Kit Mazda Pickup 2.5Td 1999-2005 Exhaust Fitting & Hanger Kit Mitsubishi L200 2.5Td 2006-2015 Exhaust Fitting & Hanger Kit Mitsubishi Pajero 2.5Td 1992-2000 Exhaust Fitting & Hanger Kit Mitsubishi Pickup Diesel1996-2005 Exhaust Fitting & Hanger Kit Mitsubishi Shogun / Pajero 2.8Td 1993-2000 Exhaust Fitting & Hanger Kit Mitsubishi Shogun / Pajero Diesel 2000-2015 Exhaust Fitting & Hanger Kit Mitsubishi Shogun 2.5Td 1992-1996 Exhaust Fitting & Hanger Kit Nissan Pickup Diesel 1998-2006 Exhaust fitting & Hanger kit Nissan Terrano Diesel 1993-2005 Exhaust Fitting & Hanger Kit Toyota Land Cruiser 3.0Td 2002-2009 Exhaust Fitting & Hanger Kit Toyota Land Cruiser Colorado / Prado 3.0Td 1996-2002 Exhaust Fitting & Hanger Kit Toyota Hilux 2.5Td / 3.0Td 2006-2015 Metric Studs ![]() ![]() ![]() The previous works combined acoustic signals and medical records Personal habits and behaviors, such as laryngeal tumors caused by long-term use of tobacco and alcohol, were studied in.

When Cohen balked, things eventually devolved into a court case, with Albritton ultimately getting back all but three of the casts.
