  1. Awesome. I'll probably show up to the meet, even though I haven't owned a mitsu in years.
  2. I've been playing the beta, when it's up, the past few months. game was pre ordered 2 months ago. If any of you play, PM me once it's out so we can go pwn some n00bs together. heh
  3. Grey, 100%. Grey with black windows and black rims = pure hottness. I'd either do a tiny bit of flake or none at all. Take this opinion srsly; I logged in just to comment.
  4. Looks like win. Frumrolls for all of the twin cities area people!
  5. I've had 4 of these cars. Odds are the tranny is pretty worn out. I haven't followed that link, so unless he specifically mentions that it shifts great, you will have problems with it. Make sure all 4 axles are good - granted they aren't that hard or expensive to replace . The rear end may be worn depending on if it's a 3 bolt of 4 bolt. 4 bolt is what you'd want. Other than that, it's basically your run of the mill old mitsubishi turbo car. Check shaft play, oil leakage, vacuum leaks, etc. Engine itself is probably still great...hard to break a stock 4g63.
  6. ^This. If you decide to get one, don't just toss it in and start turning knobs.
  7. Great job! Even though I don't own one right now, it's always good to hear there's another quest rollin' on the streets of Minnesota :-D
  8. Probably my first quest, '87. I think part of the reason I miss it so much is that it I learned to wrench on that car, and it taught me tons of things about working on cars. When it was broke, I (mostly) learned to fix it. When it ran, I could credit myself (and a lot of SQC online for help!) for fixing it. It was rare, fast (to me), and had my blood, sweat and tears in it. Had a good amount of fun with my '95 Prelude VTEC also. Well...a lot of run until the oil pump went out
  9. I first learned to drive stick in my buddy's AWD '95 Eclipse GSX. He told me to rev it to around 6k and just dump the clutch. I refused to do it until he did it like 3 times in a row. That was the start of it. Translate a similar style to the quest when I first bought it (not literrally, but still aggresive) and it was tire-spin city the first couple hours, haha :-D. Took a day or two to get it around town without making an idiot out of myself at every stop. I honestly don't remember how long it took me to REALLY get it right.
  10. Yikes. To each their own I suppose, but you'll get more power and do it safely by tuning through wideband or by a pro.
  11. Do you have a wideband you are monitoring and using to tune? Seat of the pants tuning can be pretty dangerous. I'd be very cautious doing that - don't want things to go boom now!
  12. "lol" at this becoming an LCD vs Plasma debate, heh. I realized I can hack my XBOX analog output cable (not sure if that's the right word, it's the 3 RCA output cord) to fit into the back while the HDMI cable is in there for my TV. Microsoft decided to make an enourmous casing for the male connector of that cable, so the original design doesn't allow you to run both HDMI output and RCA outputs. That's total fail if you want to run the RCA outputs to a stereo like me. Of course, new problem arose when I tried to connect to XBOX live. Turns out my ethernet cable is kind of a POS. Getting this TV/XBOX was like starting mods on a car. Everytime you do something, you find out there's a new problem to fix, haha! Good thing it's winter...
  13. What he said^ Almost anything you go buy in this country that somebody else makes for you has TONS of sodium in it. Most forms of fast food and stuff made at alot of sit-down restaurants are loaded with sodium. Good news is that all food "sellers" have to list their nutritional facts somewhere. The internet has TONS of this information and you can do a ton of research before buying. But, like Fanta said, just stay away from preprocessed foods and you've won half the battle. Some sites: http://www.nutritiondata.com/ http://www.calorieking.com/foods http://fitday.com/ - this is great for tracking your daily intake of everything
  14. I finally joined the modern times and bought myself a fairly respectable TV. Went to Best Buy last night to look at some TVs and ended up seeing a deal I couldn't pass up. 42" Panasonic Viera 720p Plasma TV WITH an XBOX 360 Elite console, plus a free game (along with the 2 it already came with) for 699.99. I decided to get Call of Duty 4: MW 2 while I was there, and also a surge protector and the necesary HDMI cable. With a 2 year plan on the TV, I walked out of the store just a hair over $1000. More than I was originally looking to initially spend, but after the xbox and is factored in, I got a pretty good deal, I think. To compare, my old TV was a tube-style 19" that I got as a gift about 8 years ago. Maybe older...but it sucked and I lost the remove years ago too. So this TV is a HUGE upgrade for me :-D Now I just have to find a way to get my stereo system hooked up to the xbox. The TV lacks proper audio outlets, so to listen to the stereo i'll have to run it through the XBOX - but I'll need to find some kind of converter cable or something. Not sure yet, as I haven't got to tinker with it much. But after I fine tune the little things on the TV and console, set my room up a bit different, and figure out my sound, then I'll have quite the gaming/movie set up!
  15. I think both Vikings and Saints fans believe A) It will be us in the NFC Championship, and B ) It will be an awesome game. Who's going to win it is the question - and can they beat the AFC champs?
