I try to keep a box of the nitrile gloves in my track/garage tool box all the time, as the latex ones would not only tear on me often, but I could also never get the latex smell off my hands. That's not fun to have to explain. LOL! I also recently picked up a new pair of Mechanix gloves, since my old were pretty disgusting and they're "Craftsmen" brand, but still made by Mechanix, I believe. These ones are a little thinner than my old ones, with some cool grippy bits on them to, so they've got decent feel AND it don't drop as many things. Jonathan L.

Been a long time since I have taken a look at the full Mechaniz line...I think I might need to give the M-Pact Fingerless gloves a shot. Might be a nice mid point between gloved protection and feel...anyone on here use 'em? http://garage.mechanix.com/detail.aspx?ID=5 Dave

They're thicker and far more resilient. And for every second you have them on you get LESS dirt on you. So when manipulating the gloves you may get some dirt, but it's a heck of a lot easier to clean in the end and clean perfectly. I know of your frustration with the white ones though. Thanks, Mark

#10. HP calculation - from Resener, Kurt
Top
Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2008 10:31:11 -0400 From: "Resener, Kurt" <KurtResener@IamMorrison.com> Subject: HP calculation So I had my car dyno'd yesterday after having the Bimmerworld Stage II kit installed, along with an Active Autowerks track pipe and new valve springs and retainers. Car dyno'd at 246 HP. I'm told that stock "95's usually dyno at around 200 so I'm happy with the results, although I was hoping for the advertised 40+ from the stage II kit and 20+ from the track pipe I realize that it may not add up perfectly like that. I ended up losing 268 pounds through my interior stripping project recently so that will translate to a quicker "feel" on the track and add to the increased HP. My question is, what is the correct math to use to figure what HP I now have at the motor? Kurt J. Resener DISCLAIMER Important!
