ok, I'll take it. PM me a time and place to meet. I'm out of town until Thurs, but I can ask Morgan to pick it up for me.

Is the battery life good? If so, I'll take it.

You may try posting that here -->> http://www.msprotege.com/vbb230/forumdisplay.php?f=69

I like to state the obvious.

I took West Case Rd to Sawmill last night and saw more cops then I've ever seen on that road. 2 Perry Township cruisers had people pulled over on Case and there were 2 Highway Patrols on Sawmill between West Case and the OSU Farm driveway. (One already had someone.) Careful on West Case, there's talk of changing it to 35 soon. I guess people living on it complained about people speeding so they're targeting it.

He seems to be alluding to 'Old School'...He called his Camaro the Red Dragon.

Here's the Honda "Ridgeline" http://www.thecarconnection.com/images/gallery/tmb/8207_image.jpg ALSO COMING: BMW Crossover vehicle Ferrari Superamerica (There are other SUV's and compacts slated for debut, but I only posted what I thought was interesting)

Mitsubishi Raider and Eclipse The Dodge-sourced truck Mitsubishi will put on sale next year will be dubbed the Raider, in a nod to Mitsu's SUVs past. The ailing Japanese carmaker told its dealers in New Orleans on Thursday that the truck will get a standard V-6 with a V-8 option, two different cab configurations, and distinct style to keep from confusing it with the Dakota, on which it's based to a minimum. A 500-watt sound system and Bluetooth integration of cell phones will please the techno-addicted. Mitsu also told dealers that the 2006 Eclipse will bow alongside the Raider at the 2005 Detroit auto show in January. The new Eclipse will actually go on sale first - in summer 2005, a couple of months ahead of the Raider. The Eclipse will get more powerful four- and six-cylinder engines (the six is worth 260 hp), an available six-speed manual gearbox or five-speed automatic and 18-inch wheels, and an optional 650-watt Rockford Fosgate audio system with a six-CD in-dash changer, MP3 playback, and nine speakers with a 10-inch subwoofer. http://www.thecarconnection.com/images/gallery/tmb/8409_image.jpg http://www.thecarconnection.com/images/gallery/tmb/8410_image.jpg

Toyota says its plans for the Detroit auto show include a brace of vehicles for both the Toyota and Lexus brands. Two will be production vehicles, according to a press release unaccompanied by pictures. The 2005 Toyota Avalon will bow at Detroit, with promised increases in performance and in luxury features. It goes on sale in 2005. The other production vehicle is an updated LX470 SUV for Lexus, which gets a more powerful V-8 engine with 270 hp and an anti-roll system. Two concepts will show up in Detroit as well: a Toyota concept sport wagon loosely based on the next Highlander due in the 2006 model year, and the Lexus LF-A, a high-performance sportscar concept presaged by spy shots of a supercar running around Toyota's stomping grounds. The Lexus concept could be the forerunner of a new supercar under development at Toyota. Toyota has been eyeing Nissan's success with the revived 350Z - and apparently, from spy pictures nabbed this week, it's been a little jealous of supercars like the Porsche Carrera GT, too. Toyota 's been caught testing what some insiders are calling the "TXS," a limited-production exotic that might be powered by a V-10 engine worth 500 hp. Pictures show the TXS with enough cladding to disguise much of its shape, but clearly, this is no Celica or MR2-sized sportscar. Insiders suggest the car will tip in at less than 3000 pounds, giving its 500-hp powerplant (with 370 lb-ft of torque) a serious chance at catching the likes of the Porsche and Benz supercars. Top speed could reach 190 mph, the same league as the 550-hp Ford GT. Whether the drivetrain offers any version of Toyota 's hybrid technology is unknown. Whether the final vehicle is sold as a Lexus or as a Toyota , it's likely that a limited production run of about 10,000 units is in order. http://www.thecarconnection.com/images/gallery/tmb/8592_image.jpg All this is from the Car Connection, Obviously I did not type it.

Jeep Gladiator http://www.thecarconnection.com/images/gallery/tmb/8690_image.jpg Think of this flashy pickup prototype as "part of the fleshing out of the Jeep division," suggested Trevor Creed. The design director at DaimlerChrysler's Chrysler Group, he acknowledged "(we) haven't done enough with Jeep," adding that "we're going to do an awful lot more…in a very short time." With its exposed door and hood hinges, there's a bit of the back-to-basics look to Gladiator, enhanced by a canvas roof that rolls partway back, much like a sunroof, but it also can be removed entirely. The pickup features dual doors on the passenger side and, on the passenger side, a cargo hatch for easy access to the rear on the driver's side. The doors swing open a full 180 degrees. Based on an all-new platform, so-called "lifestyle vehicle," may be straightforward in design, but what you see isn't always what you get. The Gladiator's most innovative feature is its cargo bed. In normal configuration, it measures 5.5 feet in length. But stow the rear seat cushions and the rear bulkhead moves forward into the two-row cab, stretching the bed to an even eight feet. Featuring a part-time 4x4 powertrain, the Gladiator boasts a 2.8-liter, four-cylinder turbodiesel making 163 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. The engine is mated to a manual transmission. While Creed won't say whether the Gladiator is set to become part of Jeep's expanding product portfolio, it wouldn't hurt to keep a close eye on this concept vehicle, especially the bold front end. It "could be" the inspiration for the next-generation Wrangler, Creed hinted. "We always learn our lessons from these concepts."

Pontiac G6 Coupe/Convertible http://www.thecarconnection.com/images/gallery/tmb/8696_image.jpg Oprah isn't the only one showing off the new Pontiac G6. But Oprah only had the sedans, and we've caught the upcoming convertible and coupe versions. The sporty coupe will reach dealerships in early 2005, but the convertible will not make its retail appearance until the third quarter of 2005 as a 2006 model. The convertible, with an annual projection of 40,000 sales, will be equipped with a retractable hardtop, much like those on models priced far more expensively. No word on powerplants, but a V-6 with at least 250 hp is expected. Both are expected to be show in Detroit.

Chrysler Firepower http://www.thecarconnection.com/images/gallery/8689_image.jpg Make that "codename Firepower!" The name may change by the time this two-seat sportscar hits Detroit's Cobo Hall next January, but the striking styling is all but locked in stone. Or, to be more precise, carbon fiber, the material of choice for Chrysler's show cars. The Firepower prototype is meant to slot in somewhere between the sporty Chrysler Crossfire and last year's audacious ME-412 concept vehicle. (And, not so coincidentally, the Firepower and ME-412 were both designed by 30-year-old stylist Bill Niedlander.) If the dimensions seem familiar, that's because the Firepower shares its platform with the Dodge Viper. But in Chrysler trim, it's meant to be more elegant and refined, in the tradition of a classic grand tourer, according to Creed, who suggests you "think of the likes of Aston Martin." Instead of the Viper's raw V-10, the Firepower will feature the new, 6.1-liter, 425-horsepower version of the HEMI V-8. Estimated top speed is 185 mph, with 0-60 times of under 4.5 seconds. Though there continues to be some interest in the ME-412 at Chrysler's highest levels, its astronomical price tag seems to have limited the likelihood it would go into production. The Firepower could still serve as a top-end halo car, though Creed cautioned that for the moment, at least, there is no talk of production. On the other hand, he quickly added, "Sometimes design (department) has to put something out there and take the lead" to see what the market reaction is. Then the beancounters need to figure out if there's a business case to be made.

Aside from whats already been mentioned, also debuting in Jan will be: Next Gen Chevy Monte Carlo Smart Formore (Smart car mini-SUV) Next Gen Mitsubishi Eclipse I know I'm forgetting some others...

Christma-hanu-kuanz-ukkah

Kenny without a Buick??? I bet you'll be in withdrawl by the end of the week.

I can't wait until girls everywhere are wearing these. http://www.m90.org/paparazzi/britney17.htm

Natile Portman in a thong...HOLLA

Still weighs less then a GTO. (I like the GTO, that is not a flame of the car, it's a fact)

Ok, so it looks like Win 95 is good enough. What's the battery life like? Does it have a 9 pin DB-9 COM port? Like this -->> http://www.ctips.com/plugs/db9f.gif (most computers have it I just need to make sure)

Ohhh, me me! Let me check to see that this is enough to tune my AFC. If so, I want it.

Yea, that's stock. As someone already said, the torque is in Nm and the power is in PS (which is slightly off of HP).

What was the eBay loophole? Buying and selling within the team to get a better price? ex: I could put something up for $5 and someone else buys it right after I post it.

SR22DET, This weekend I shouldn't be as busy as last weekend so if you still want them PM me sometime when you can meet on Sunday. Chris, if I don't hear from him, or if he doesn't want, them they are yours.

Actually it's not 160hp/160ft lbs before boost. It's not the same 4 cylinder that's in the regular Mazda 6 model. It's a direct injection 4 cylinder that's only used overseas. 2.3L, 9.5:1 compression won't have a problem off boost. http://www.triplezoom.com/news/uploads/mps2.gif

http://www.columbusracing.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=19;t=002332 Welcome to October. tongue.gif This link has some good info, ( http://www.triplezoom.com/news/publish/article_242.shtml ) make sure to check out the torque curve. Direct Injection OWNZ and it shouldn't have a problem out of boost.
