http://www.microlon.com/  We've used this in our cars and it works great.  I was skepitcal when Dave told me that we're just going to put this liquid in my old Jeep and it will run better and get better gas milage.  You know what.. It worked!  It was truly amazing as when we drove the 4 hours back home from his parents house after putting it in you could actually feel and hear the Jeep idle and sound better.  Better gas mileage and even with over 250,000kms on it, it would pass the emmissions test so low that they would re-test it.  They always wanted to  know what we had done to it (ie were we cheating somehow).  Dave's uncle has a wrecking yard and has somesort of large diesel truck thing.. anyways... He had it in that truck.. takes it to get tested and it passes so low they can't believe it.. get the system recalbrated and test it again.. still passes with super low numbers.  So there is some stuff out there, but the only stuff I know of really working is Microlon.  Very cool stuff.

Hi Mark,

Yeah, Dave and I are still around.  Smiley  He's in the MI area last I knew.  Came to visit us when we lived in Windsor.  I loved the sight of that car driving down the street... truly breathtaking!  Good to hear your still doing good!

738  General Category / General Discussion / WORK Virus... Caution ;) on: February 19, 2006, 01:46:23 PM
There is a dangerous virus being passed electronically, orally and by hand.

This virus is called Worm-Overload-Recreational-Killer (WORK). If you receive WORK from any of your colleagues, your boss or anyone else via any means DO NOT TOUCH IT. This virus will wipe out your private life completely.

If you should come into contact with WORK put your jacket on and take 2 good friends to the nearest pub. Purchase the antidote known as Work-Isolator-Neutralizer-Extractor (WINE).

The quickest acting WINE type is called Swift-Hitting-Infiltrator-Remover-All-Zones (SHIRAZ) but this is only available for those who can afford it. The next best equivalent is Cheapest-Available-System-Killer (CASK). Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system.

Forward this warning to 5 friends. If you do not have 5 friends, you have already been infected and WORK is controlling your life. This virus is DEADLY(Destroys-Every-Available-Decent-Living-Youngster).

Update 05-01-2006: After extensive testing it has been concluded that Best-Equivalent-Extractor-Remedy (BEER) may be substituted for WINE but may require a more generous application
739  Tech Forums / Body Mods / Re: How much horsepower? on: February 19, 2006, 01:36:19 PM
Check out Exile Racing for mods as there are quite a few out there now for the 2.5.. I do believe there is a turbo kit for the 2.5.  http://catalog.exileracing.com/product_info.php?cPath=163_164_265&products_id=570&osCsid=509b189f5f52b7d7b48237ec55efa3a0

Stock, your V6 car is 163hp so unless you have some mods 185 is a bit optimistic. 

There are some amazing things you can do to either of these engines and get a very good amount of horsepower out of either.  It all depends on what you are able to do and what you are able to spend.  I think to answer your true questions we need some more information like your skillset and how much you are willing to spend as you have asked an open ended question.  Good luck!

I can get a doctors note as I have a sun sensitivity/allergy, tho we don't currently need one here in Ontario.  I know there are also some eye problems that you can get a doctors note for tint.  For some reason I am thinking something like glaucoma, but don't quote me on that.  Good luck and I know this may sound weird, but have you considered wearing sunglasses in other peoples cars?

742  General Category / General Discussion / BALTIMORE ROAD RULES on: February 04, 2006, 11:33:17 PM
Oh, I do miss home..lol.

BALTIMORE ROAD RULES
 
 First, you must learn to pronounce the city name. It is Bawl-mer, or
Ball-da-more, depending on whether you live North or South of Route 40.
 
 Next, if your road map is more than a few weeks old, throw it out and
buy a  new one. If you live near Howard County and your map is one day
old, it is  already obsolete.
 
 Forget the traffic rules you learned elsewhere. Baltimore has its own
version of traffic rules; "Hold on and pray."
 
 There is no such thing as a dangerous high-speed chase in Baltimore.
We
all drive like that.
 
 All directions start with "Get on the Beltway"... which has no
beginning or end.
 
 The morning rush hour is from 5 a.m. to 11 a.m. The evening rush hour
is  from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. Friday's rush hour starts Thursday morning.
 
 If you actually stop at a yellow light, you will be rear-ended, cussed
out and possibly shot.
 
 When you are the first one on the starting line at a light, count to
five when the light turns green before moving ahead to avoid crashing
with
all five of the drivers running the red light in cross-traffic.
However,
if you don't go as soon as it turns green, you will get the horn and
finger.
 
 Construction on I-97 is a way of life and a permanent form of
entertainment. Interestingly, it's called "an Interstate," but runs
only
from the Beltway to Annapolis. Opening in 1992, it has been torn up and
under reconstruction ever since. (Does Former Governor Glendening have
any relatives who build highways?)
 
 All unexplained sights are explained by the phrase, "Oh, we're in
GLIMBURNIE!" (Glen Burnie.)
 
 If someone actually has a turn signal on, it is probably a factory
defect.
 
 Car horns are actually "Road Rage" indicators.
 
 All old ladies with blue hair in Buicks have the right of way. Period.
And the same goes for all old men wearing hats!!!
 
 All roads mysteriously change their names as you cross intersections.
(8th Avenue and Dorsey Road is a good example).
 
 If asking directions in Ellicott City or Columbia, you must know how
to
speak Korean. If in Randallstown, Ebonics will be your best bet. If you
stop to ask directions in Brooklyn ... well, don't.
 
 A trip across town (north to south) will take a minimum of four hours,
although the tunnel does have, on occasion, more than one lane open,
but never on holiday weekends.
 
 The minimum acceptable speed on the Beltway is 85. Anything less is
considered downright sissified. The Beltway is our daily version of
NASCAR.
 
 If you drive to a football game, pay the $75.00 to park in the Ravens
Lot. Parking elsewhere could cost up to $7,500 for damages, towing
fees,
parking tickets, etc.
 
 If some guy with a flag tries to get you to park in his yard during
Preakness, run over him. It's probably not his yard, anyway.
 
 WELCOME TO BAWLMER, HON!

Some cars in the 50's and 60's had fender skirts and there was a hinged part from what I remember that opens up so you can access the tire when needed.
744  General Category / General Discussion / Re: anyone know how to make a business plan? on: February 02, 2006, 03:32:54 AM
Last time we were thinking of a business we used this to write up a business.  It's a Canadian one and I don't know if there is any difference between them in either countries, but it may give you a hand?  It was easy to use tho.  Good Luck!   http://www.cbsc.org/ibp/home_en.cfm

Contact the dealer and ask them or you can try this website http://www.dodge.com/webselfservice/dodge/index.jsp?screenName=recall&country=us&emailUrl=goToEmailForm%28%27R%27%29
746  General Category / Questions and problems / Re: Sebring/Avenger Reliability on: January 31, 2006, 03:59:19 PM
We've have owned (or still own) a 95 Sebring (no real problems until he turbo'd it), 95 Avenger (ball joints replaced under recall), 96 Avenger (no problems) and a 2001 Sebring coupe (no problems).  The headgasket can leak on the I4s...autos are hit and miss.  If there is a member in your area more than likely they will be willing to look at a few cars with you and/or show you their car.  All in all a good car, but with the same batch of problems here and there that will befall any car make and model.
747  General Category / General Discussion / Re: Car Bash on: January 31, 2006, 03:52:48 PM
OOOOH and that three wheel thing that Urkel drove on Family Matters!!

BMW Isetta

From BMWworld.com
"The cars have a one-cylinder BMW motorcycle engine with a 4-speed transmission. The top speed is 53 mph, and it gets 63 miles per gallon.

In 1958 you could buy one for $1,093."

Now if Urkel drove this one would it be cool?  LOL

There are some members that wouldn't be too far from you.  Wolvie is out there and Alain is in Montreal (I think?).  We also have meets about 45 mins west of Toronto and sometimes closer.  Alain should be coming out for a meet in the spring so you can always see if you can follow him down.  Hope things get all worked out!
