oh that reminds me, maybe you can check out carmi's av unit, he might be parting it off his car.

Anyways guys i made a decision. I decided that my next couple of toys will not be car parts. I spend a lot of time at home and currently do not have a TV. So i decided to just drop the next 1500 i have into my home theater system instead.

Currently i have a 14 speaker 2 sub setup in my room and decided to buy that projector and finally build that HTPC to go with it.

I decided on the Viewsonic PJ551D projector and this case for my
::: Zalman, leading the world of Quiet Computing Solutions :::

The HTPC will just be a light front end and i currently have a 14 harddrive media server that will be the back end.

that's what i said when we were at pier 39 last sunday, and only a handful of sea lions was present. only one of their floating platforms was full, and two or three loners were sitting on the one behind it. i joked about a quake coming and they left the area. people around me didn't think it was that funny though.

that is a bit odd. i havent been down there in quite some time, but i remember at least 2 platforms being completely full. fwiw, the both got into the act last night for awhile. i read random accounts right before the biggie in china that some animals were acting weird as far as a week prior. but that seemed to be a more mass animal act than the random bengalis and sea lions. who knows.

Yeah that sucks about this weekemd, I neer received a PM. Also I was out oftown until today realy when I finally woke up. Hopefully we will get together sometime soon.

Got 24/25mpg on my trip, the roads in So-Cal suck, but not as bad as in Tijuana/Tecate/Mexicali and Rosarito. Ended up knocking off my fender liner piece that mounts up to the front bumper/brake duck/hole above the lip neare the pass fog light cover. Ended up having to use a metal hanger to put it back up into place. So I will fix it later on, it did not fall off all the way or hit the road until I was almost into Camp Pendleton around 3 am

Anyways I ended up having a V1 on the way back from the track going into Baja California. I mounted it or should I say shoved it into the clock area on the dash board and felt great using it. I was scared of using it in BC, I was literally tagged in BC like 30 times or more while I was there. I also did nothave Mexican Car Insurance either, I could not find it when i went in.

So my drive home was nice, did a steady 85mph average. 1,200 or so later I am back home

How would a V1 unit fit in the clock area? and where did you get the V1 from?

Sorry........just confusing.

My car has been feeling funny at upper rpms. I don't have my cobb ap (version 2) cable anymore. Does anyone have either a tatrix, or cobb ap cable I can borrow for a day? I just need to do a few logs.

Thanks a lot guys!

If you have a cobb ap version 1 cable, I left my serial->usb at home, so if I could borrow that as well that would be awesome.
