I thought you had a back up S/L?

I would like to source out a male and female plug, do a wiring modification... and test a couple of things. I'm not desparate enough to start cutting my wires.

94 is almost nonexictant in canada, we have 91, and works fine...

OH finally uploaded the Hypertech programmer, and put on my summer tires, 305/30/19 in the rear and 245/40/19 front

We dont have a choice here in CA... unless you want race gas... you will be fine.

Enjoying the end of the day on the cool spring evening with my wife at one of our local haunts! A bucket of oysters and a blackened fish sandwich with jalapeņo poppers anyone?

Hope you all are having a great one! :hello:

Im running 295 rear and 245 up front. You are def gonna want more tire up front. I wish my fronts were 265 to provide a tad more grip. Next time they will be.

I do, but just wondering wat your thought was. :) I'm wondering if there are any side effects to the BCM long term.

Yes, that's why I would like a 91 octane map. My little town has 1 station with 94, if I need gas while out of town, well, then I'm hunting for gas... No bueno.

Yeah, the owners manual states 91 octane. I just wasn't thinking when I took my car in for Uprev. No big deal though, I'll run this tank out, put in some 91, do some data logging and get a modified tune. Then I'll have a 94 and 91 map :tup:

That's why I'm trying to source out a make and female connector. Then I can install my own wires and play. I'm really interested in seeing what happens when you cut power to the unit while in the unlocked state. The BCM is looking for signals from at least two of the wires... Not sure how it would play out. fritz says it's ok, but it's something I would need to do for myself. I'm not ready to hack up my wiring yet...

Any thoughts of where I could source out the plug ends? A male plug at the very least would work too. Maybe there is a wrecked Z somewhere that I could get the existing plug from? I doubt I'll find one around here, they are not very common.

Bottom line, let's get a plug and take it to the next step. :tup:

Indeed. Hummmmm. Not sure where we could source the male connector.. its a PCB mount type too so not sure how clean one can make the harness unless one makes a PCB for it? :confused:

Mr. Kenchan, if you really want a small, economical hatch, check out the fiat 500 abarth. The more I read about it, the more I like it. It seems to have the that "fun factor" in it (similar to old GTI and Mini S)

This is the 500 Abarth we saw at the car show the other day. Dealer guy started it up. Sounded pretty responsive!

I'm going to have to stick my head under the dash and check things out again. The last time I looked was during winter hibernation when I lifted the cover to see what revision S/L I have.

A plug and play unit would be ideal, however for the sake of experimenting, a OEM male plug cut from a totaled Z would be perfect. The chances of me finding a wrecked Z around here is slim to none, the car is just too rare in these parts.

The beauty of iPhone touchscreen keypad: you can suck at it and it will still guess what your fat fingers meant to type!

Hahaha, I run an app i bought to type on my droidx cause I also type Japanese off my droidx. It has text prediction and auto-text and stuff but the capacitance touch panels don't work well when my thumb is too dry. That is one of the biggest problems with touchpanels for me in general... :ugh2:

ZCarMan's wife bought an Abarth - we saw it in person at the last meet up we had in Columbia. It looks nice, and sounds nicer! I'd buy it in a heartbeat if it fit my requirements on a vehicle.

So about 10 years ago I came up with this great idea for an invention that I never got going. I all but forgot about the idea until today when I was on the phone with a friend that brought it up. I started thinking about all the cash I could make by actually developing this product. Well after talking to my buddy I did a google search to see if the product is on the market. Well in 2009 some guy won some invention contest for the exact idea that I had. The idea was to create a ceiling fan that would simply screw into a standard light bulb socket so that it did not have to be hard wired in. It could go from home to home or room to room no problem as you just unscrew it and screw it into another light socket. Damn it for not executing on my idea back in college.

kenchan 04-24-2012 08:50 PM

imagine all the fires you would've started. :icon17:

ZMan8 04-24-2012 08:50 PM

what stops the screw in fan from unscrewing accidentally and falling on people?

kenchan 04-24-2012 08:51 PM

wat stops the fan from making ceiling go airborne?

Drove it to work. First time I've driven it in about 2 weeks.
Got some new G-Star jeans while I was in NYC last week. The pocket zippers are not very friendly to my seats. WTF? Now I have to consider which car I'm driving when I get dressed for work in the morning? LOL!
