Thanks, I never pass up the oportunity to drive a car on a track for free.

Toolman

Check out me driving the new STS4 at the Car and Driver be the editor for the day. Follow this link http://www.rideanddrive.net/movies/default.cfm and enter the code D9HN7H-T9HN7H to see me driving.

Toolman

Yeah, LS1 would be much better. Roughly the same power and a lot lighter, and easier on fuel. Just not the one from my GTO!

Toolman

Garrets are easy to rebuild, 150 bucks for the kit and I have done two of those. Mitsubishis on the other hand are much harder. My guess form the garrets Ive rebuilt is your dumping oil into the intake side. Pull the intake boot and check for side- to-side play on the shaft.

Toolman

Maybe some stores do it cause they are misinformed about the real method of preparing a Taco!

Toolman

As per Taco bell nutrition info http://www.tacobell.com/menu/ there are no Tomatos on a regular taco, just cheese letuce and meat.

Toolman

My GTO has an immobilizer in the ignition, you have to keep one of the keys in the car in a box and have an immobilizer unit.

Toolman

googled it, its a chefs hat.

I am thinking Cheech and Chong!

Toolman

They may be onto something here! LOL

Toolman

The old style RX7's and many other RWD imports are using the LS1 with much success over thier turbo 4cyl counterparts, I will try to find the link of the 2nd gen rx7 LS2 running 550 RWHP, the thing is insane.

Toolman

The vibe already comes in AWD, so just expand on the stock rear drive shaft and do a RWD conversion. Then stuff an LS1 in it. With a stock LS1 it would be in the 12's in the quarter, and with some basic upgrades you would easily break into the 11's.

here is another synchronized light/song from his house, but I don't think it is nearly as nice as the other one http://www.msftlabrat.com/funstuff/jingle.wmv

an electrical engineer ok, well no matter what that is the most AWESOME thing I have ever saw!!!! I can't wait till Saturday, we're taking the Vibe on our first road trip, well actually he has driven it to Columbus the day we picked it up, to pick up his brother from the airport, but this will be th...

Toolman

Close now, but as soon as I go with the Procharger it would not even be a race. I am going to have to wait on the Procharger for a while(it is about 5500$). I can dream cant I!

Toolman

Hope that never happens to me!

Toolman

wow, that's actually not too far away

Toolman

The only way to be 100% sure is to borrow a friends GPS, that is how I found out that my GTO is about 2% fast.

Toolman

Thank you all, had a wonderfull b-day.

Toolman

I will be building/buying a house in the summer, one of my requirements is a two door two stall garage, the other is a room in the basement big enough to play pool on without any crowding.

Toolman

What kind of bike do you use to ride Triatholons, I have been looking at cyclocross. I have rode on a 24 hour Mt bike teams and I ran a Half marathon last year, so I am going to do a triatholon this year.

Toolman

It looks too minivanish, full of compromise instead of innovation.

Sweet "cruiser", here is another not to try to run from.

I bought the waranty on the 99 Galant v6 that I bought new and it was the biggest rippoff ever, I didnt use it and it was 2300 dollars down the drain. When I had 35000 miles on the car I tried to get it back since I was still under factory waranty. They said that the extended waranty was from day on...

Toolman

I am not a fan of the cold weather, dont mind the snow. I have even had my GTO out in the snow a couple of times, does as good if not better than the front wheel drives that I have had. I just dont take it out if they have salted or cindered the roads.

Toolman

Whatever you were hurting my ears.

Toolman

Looks like its time to "take on for the team"!

Toolman

Congratulations and welcome aboard. It will do the "family car" thing like a champ!

That is true -r's are more compatible.

Toolman

Lets get everyone here in on this, we could be in the top ten! I could add one more machine in my house(total of 5).

Toolman

Laptop is kicking the dual cores a$$ though!

Toolman

Alright. got the 4 computers in my house on this, I am Toolman(Dual core 3.6) and Theeulogy(1.6 centirno Laptop, 2.5 p4, and 2.5 celeron D desktop). This should boost our stats!

Toolman

Did you get 3500 from the insurance company, if so you should just trade for a new one. In the past I have done it with cars, trade the car and the insurance check for a new car, in this case one of the same model.

Toolman

Better explanation here http://www.videohelp.com/dvd

Toolman

I make copies of a lot of movies for people at work and the few that I have made with DVD+ have had some issues, when I make them with DVD- no one has an issues.

Toolman

I can feel your pain, it has been snowing here and they salted the roads, about two weeks ago. It finally rained yesterday and washed the salt off the road and today it was about 50 degrees, so I got in the GTO and went for a drive. After driving the Vibe for 2 weeks it felt like a frieking Nascar! ...

Toolman

The fuse box is under the dash on the drivers side. If you lie on your back on the drivers floor mat and look straight up under the dash you will be looking at it.

Toolman

It really has nothing to do with age, it has to do with how open someone is to change. I am sure that technology will keep on bringing better and more complex things, whether or not we learn and keep up with it depends soley on willingness to change.

I ate Turkey Dinner at my grandparents and then went to work. It was cold here to so I stayed inside. I did do a little hunting though and did not see anything worth shooting.

Toolman

This way we can have multiple handsets and talk on the phone in the basement, were the cell phone does not pick up. And it will allow me to not "run" to answer the phone when it is upstairs.

Toolman

The new ones are supposed to be faster and have better steering.

Toolman

Cool, I am going to go pick up a couple of them Tuesday morning.

My wife and I have cell phones and no other(landline) and dont ever plan to get one. Now there is a product that makes this easier, it is called the Dock and Talk.

If you are still under waranty I would just pull it out till after the service. Dont want to chance ruining your waranty for it.
