The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

Anyone have Resident Evil 6 for Xbox 360 they want to trade for Halo 4?

I bought Halo 4 last night for my GF and I to play and we beat it in 6 hours. It's sad games aren't co-op split screen anymore... :(
 
That's a nice looking car from what I can see, but it doesn't look like some of the MSPs I have seen around. I wish I could find one like the Sumlins have I really like that one.

it appears pretty much stock
 
So by your logic any MS3 that dynos with over 238 lb-ft is on a improperly calibrated dyno? The only charts I have seen where the MS3 has that low of torque is where the power was rolled into after 3k RPM and did not have the boost spike at that spot. You can tell the difference in the charts by the shape of the graph before 3k RPM.

begi (notice only 75 HP being made at 3k rpm, obviously rolling into the power slowly here. Also the only dyno coming close to the 238 lb-ft that you claim is a maximum for the MS3 to the wheels)

automobile mag (216 whp is low for this motor, this is lower than begi dyno -- but still significantly higher torque than begi since they didn't ease into the power)

and the coup de grace - Tru-Boost (67 degrees 29.35 in-hg 14%humidity SAE 0.99)

These charts are from [url]http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123653857-Mazdaspeed3-Dyno-Comparisons[/url]

I'm not vouching for the accuracy of any of these charts. Air intake temperatures will be lower in real world driving conditions. This will affect the output in a negative way when measuring on a dyno.[/QUOTE]

I am saying that a stock MS3 cannot hit 280 ft lbs. Period. Any chart that says otherwise is incorrect. I never said that it can only hit 238, but it will not truly hit 280. It's simple physics. I'm done with the argument.

Jess, I'm glad you're ok. Good luck with the car and apt search.
 
Nate- i think the crank pulley sensor or the cam position sensor can go bad and the car will turn over but it won't start because the computer never sees the right signal from the sensor or something...
...someone on here said their crank pulley sensor went bad from oil getting on it. Mine's caked up with oil from my valve cover not being sealed around where the cam pulleys are, so if oil or something can make a crank pulley sensor go bad than i could see that happening. Mine hasn't had any problems though...
I remember on here you posted some stuff about running out of oil or something, but i can't remember what happened to your car- if i knew i still wouldn't be much help though.
Fix your car eh mate? Better than selling it for not-running-msp value
 
Agreed. And thanks--2 down, waiting on the 3rd to arrive... So far neither has had any body rust which is impressive.

If I ever bought another Miata I'd probably get one from a southern state. Fly/drive down and pick it up. So many more options that are rust free. Where are you looking?
 
In other news. Jen went for her polygraph yesterday in Massilon. One more step complete for her new job. To think she filled out the application in January, took a preliminary test at the end of february, an interview in march, and finally the polygraph yesterday. Not sure what/when the next is. Crazy stuff!
 
Well, I am all "moved" into my house. Even have the 6 in the garage so I can start working on it again.

Wow, thats a long process! Hopefully that means everything is looking good though at this stage

They are pretty secretive about it. She goes for something and they tell her nothing either way, then they call and give her an appointment for the next step. A lot like a scavenger hunt lol. It does seem to be going well though, they keep sending more clues.
 
what's your flavor?

friends did a scotch tasting party last Friday, Belvenie 12 year was my favorite from the night
I'm not sure I have a preference just yet. Unfortunately with scotch you get what you pay for so typically the more expensive it is the better it is (IMO). I've tried a bunch of stuff from Johnny Walker, Glenmorangie, Glenfiddich, Glenkinchie, Lagavulin, and so on. I prefer the more aged, smokey/woody stuff. Lagavulin 16 will knock your socks off. By far the most intersting I've ever tried is Glenmorangie D'ior. It's initially very sweet but has a very strong finish and is thicker, almost like a liqueor.

My wife and I have the same problem except we prefer RPG's. Even harder to find a co-op version of those that is MMO. We enjoyed the Gears of War FPS series, but like Halo the "campaign" mode can go by quickly in one sitting. The best RPG series we've found is the "Tales" series by Namco. Easily 50+ hours of gameplay but it isn't 100% co-op.

The one like 10 minutes from me has a little rust on the subframe/control arms and the body is in great shape, a few dings, frame rails in excellent condition. The one 30 min away the body is in great shape as well, but has smooshed frame rails. However, they are both 91s and the one that is 30 min away has more "pep". It was warm, and the other was cold when I drove it, though.... 95k vs 105k and the 95 just had headwork done since an exhaust valve was burned (hmm). He said he took it to the dealer and had it looked over after he did all the work.

Not so local and the one with more pep:

I couldn't tell if it was just a flat spot on the tires of the white one or it will need a wheel bearing soon but yeah...

I'll look into those, going to hook up a reader and see if that can tell me anything. It's going to be sold either way, having it running would make it easier.

The Glenmorangie Lasanta I brought was pretty good. Smelled like and had a taste of red wine with a scotch kick. After about the 3rd glass they all started to taste the same.
 
Smooshed frame rails as in the tab that sticks down? Or the rail itself is dented in? As long as they are straight that wouldn't bother me much. If alignment specs are available it'd be interesting to see those.

Don't forget to check for the SNC on the '91s. The blue one also claims to have an LSD... The NA6 viscous LSDs aren't great, but it's better than open.

At the end of the day they both look like good options honestly. I hate the white paints stock wheels on the blue car haha.

Thats kind of how it went when i interviewed with LG. A bunch of online.tests, then a phone interview, then a month of waiting, a video interview/presentation, another month of waiting, 2nd phone interview, then drug test/background check, and a flight to utah for training the next week.

Dont let her stress over the wait, that s*** killed me lol.

As in the frame rail doesn't stick down from the floor hardly at all anymore lol. White one is out of alignment. Convenient since I bought a lifetime alignment for my last white one...... Lol.

I looked for crank wobble but didn't see any on either car, and both have had the TB done.

I doubt the blue one actually has a vicious, and even if it did it probably wouldn't work half the time (mine didn't).

I don't mind the white wheels but its easy enough to fix!

I like the blue color but I'll probably go for the white one. The blue one does have a glass window, but the top has 2 years.

I'd really rather have a bike for the same price lol.
 
So, last week our wholesale guy decided to give his 2 week notice. This morning, the boss decided to pack up and walk out...this ought to be interesting...if I wasn't stressed out enough...
