  7. Rural Caucus chair: State should ban, confiscate semi-automatic guns

    I guess you never seen any episode of cops.

    try it and see if you don't end up in prison or on death row.

    I can't believe some of you "law abiding" citizens are promoting shooting up cops in the face and having stand off's with them.

    interesting...all you really wanted a gun for was protection...or so you say.... I guess you're really no different than the guy who shoots up a movie theater or elem school :eatdrink:

    :lol:

  9. I got a new to me cage!

    It's not a EU chassis. It's a global chassis used by opel vectra, Pontiac g6, Chevy Malibu, and Pontiac aura... called Epsilon platform

    Man, you made me do research. I hate research. But I like to be right more than I hate research. :D

    Well, technically you're both right. The chassis was designed and prototyped by Opel. So you could technically call it an EU chassis, but, it's also a global platform because GM owns Opel and could use that chassis for cars around the world.

    Regardless, platform is only part of the equation. It's still up to Saab to decide where to place pillars, sheet metal, seating, etc. and they pride themselves on making extremely safe (moose-proof) cars.

    My little brother ended up rolling his 2001 Saab 9-5. It crashed very well and all four occupants walked away with no more than scratches.

    It'd be too saddening. Rusty old bucket.

    But one day it will be fully re-done, pro touring style.

    Started life as a base-model with 230 cu-in straight-6 and a 2-speed powerglide. Grecian green and black base model interior.

    Been storing the bike in Georgia while I've been working in Ohio/Michigan.

    Covered cars are:

    Left side - 1989 Corvette convertible

    Right side - 1968 Camaro convertible (unrestored, but running)

  16. Transient Check Engine Light?

    in Tech and Tips

    Posted · Edited by RSVDon

    On a more serious note, I did some light reading of the intermittent check engine light. Nobody seems to know what does it, and the "error" screen apparently never shows anything. Assuming there's no hiccup, no power loss, and nothing funny like excessive fuel consumption, just don't worry about it?

    "Yes, we have experienced this during product development and in normal use. The occasional check engine light is most likely due to excess carbon build up on the O2 Sensor. Only a very small percentage of bikes (including mine) have exhibited this side effect when the variable trimmer is set towards the richer side. Each individual bike is somewhat different due to normal manufacture's and part suppliers tolerances. The carbon build happens after extended periods of idling or after extended periods of cruising. It should go away after revving the motor and clearing of the sensor off with the hot exhaust gases. One thing we learned when my Ducati tech was dynoing/testing the product is it does run a bit richer at idle than it does during normal operation. He wasn't concerned about it, but you wouldn't want to let your bike sit and idle for long, long periods at a time (30 - 40+ minutes). You could try to set the variable trimmer slightly leaner to see if the CEL comes on less frequently, but you want to make very small adjustments on the trimmer and ride for a couple of days. You'll want to find the leanest setting on the

    O2 Manipulator that still eliminates the surging and other lean fueling problems."

    Welcome to Italy. Wiring is no importa.
