sprblknismo06 Posts: 1Yeah, I drive in an area where there are traffic lights at every intersection, so I just thought it was the computer calculating driving time and avg. speed to determine fuel consumption. Got tired of driving like a granny and started getting on it after I broke it in and still no difference. Highway proves about accurate on long trips though. Still puzzled.
lax5 Posts: 29At 6800 miles, I am assuming that you have an '06. I have an '06 CC and that is approx what the computer is showing for me. I was wondering about it, too. I have put it off to the stop and go short trips that I do, day in and day out. I only have just over 3100 miles, so will be curious to see how it looks on long trips.
2005lekc Posts: 145I have not reset my mpg setting on the computer for the last 5 fuel refills and it currently is reading 20.1 mpg. I have an '05 LE KC with an automatic transmission, Volant CAI, Flo-Pro dual in dual out exhaust, and a Fold-A-Cover bed cover on it.
I honestly did not see much change if any in my mileage with the above modifications. Some say these items helped increase their mileage, but I did not experience that with mine.
I am having my engine covers painted right now so I am debating whether to leave the Volant CAI on or going back to the painted engine covers. I don't hear the Volant making much if any noise like the CAI I had on my Miata.
I have about 75% suburb driving and 25% highway driving. I drive like the little old man that I am and I walk to any of the destinations that are within a mile of my house. I also avoid rush hour traffic since I am retired. I have had to drive down into the middle of the city a couple of times, but I avoid that when it is at all possible.
The LE gets better mileage than the Nismo, but I can't believe there would be that much difference. Of course not resetting the mpg computer each time makes the system more accurate and less subject to wide swings of the pendulum.

But this granny driving is for the birds. Tweet tweet. -

Honda's Breakthrough Heats Up the Race for Clean Diesel Vehicles
By Dave Chameides
Date Posted 09-28-2006
Honda Motors unveiled its latest development in diesel technology on September 25, putting the carmaker well ahead of the pack in the race to bring clean diesel vehicles to market. Its next-generation diesel engine uses a catalytic converter requiring no additives of any kind and will run cleaner through its new design.
Starting in January 2007, all diesel passenger vehicles sold in the United States will be required to meet the same Environmental Protection Agency Tier II Bin 5 emission standards governing all gasoline vehicles. This will require auto manufacturers to significantly reduce the particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) that escape their car's tailpipes. While particulate traps will significantly reduce PM, most manufacturers of diesel engines are still struggling with a way to clean up their NOx emissions.
Until now, most car companies have been working on systems that utilize chemical urea. When sprayed into the hot exhaust of the engine, it creates ammonia. The ammonia then reacts with the NOx and converts it to inert nitrogen.
What sets Honda's new technology apart is that its catalytic converter requires no outside chemicals whatsoever. As the exhaust hits the first layer of the unit, a small amount of NOx is converted to ammonia, which is then absorbed by a second layer. The second layer, now ammonia rich, then reacts with the remaining NOx and spits it out as harmless nitrogen.
Honda spokesman Chris Martin points out that what makes the system better is that the ammonia is generated internally rather than being introduced as an added chemical.
"It's maintenance proof," he said, adding that with urea-based systems, a car owner could either fall behind on maintenance or opt to save money by not replacing the chemical. "It might run just as well, but it would be much dirtier."
With Honda's new technology in place, the car does everything for you; nothing extra to add, nothing to check and nothing to maintain. This should save the owner money, and Honda can rest assured that its diesel engines will continue to drive cleanly as long as they are on the road.
Honda designed the converter for use in its 2.2 iCTDi diesel engine, which has garnered widespread attention since its debut in the current model European Accord. The engine, which is remarkably quiet, is also much cleaner than most diesels right out of the gate. Thanks to a redesigned combustion chamber, a reduction in fuel injection time and other efficiency improvements, the engine already emits significantly less NOx. Add on the new technology the converter affords, and clean diesel could be right around the corner.
While European drivers may be seeing this technology sooner than we will, Honda estimates that their diesel vehicles will start hitting our shores in about three years. Couple this with their recent announcement concerning future diesel hybrid vehicles, and it looks as if Honda is pulling to the head of the clean diesel pack. -
stringbender Posts: 29I drive a 07 SE crew with the V6, the service mgr told me that to make sure and return to them for the oil change because they used some type of oil filter with some kind of special valve on it. He said the dry sound it makes during the first second or two would be worse and last longer if I did not use Nisann's special oil filter. Need input please as I am coming up on 2500 miles and sure hate to drive 30 miles to the dealer for a oil change.
Thanx in advance, Steve -

Toyota Motor Corp. will cooperate with truckmaker Isuzu Motors Ltd. to develop and produce small diesel engines for the European market, both sides announced Thursday.
The agreement, which seals talks that began last November, will allow Toyota, Japan's top automaker, to take advantage of Isuzu's highly reputed diesel technology.
Production of the 1.6 liter diesel engines for use in Toyota vehicles sold in Europe will start 2012, the companies said in a statement.
Demand for diesel vehicles is growing especially in Europe because of worries about global warming. Diesel is widely known for good mileage, and recent innovations have made diesel cleaner.
Toyota already produces diesel engines in Europe, but it has tended to focus more on so-called hybrid technology, in which a car switches between a gas engine and an electric motor for fuel efficiency.
The agreement allows Toyota to get help from Isuzu to compete in diesel technology with rivals such as Honda Motor Co., which is strengthening its diesel lineup.
Toyota and Isuzu said the companies were working out details on development, production and supply of the diesel engine, but Isuzu "will play the leading role."
Toyota owns a 5.9 percent stake in Isuzu. Isuzu formed a capital alliance with Toyota in November after dissolving its tie-up with General Motors Corp. in April 2006. -
moparbad Posts: 3,842One word: competition. :confuse:
That makes no sense at all. This is the Nissan Frontier 2005+ topic, not Tacoma vs. Frontier.
Secondly, Nissan has offered diesel engines in the Frontier (Navarra outside of North America) for greater than 25 years as has Toyota offered diesels in it's Tacoma (Hilux) for greater than 25 years. Both the Toyota and the Nissan diesel engines in their trucks are are excellent and as competitive as any diesel engine offered in their class.
Toyota offering a 1.6L diesel in Euro passenger cars changes competition in what way? :sick:
Oh, yeah, you can't buy the 1.6L in the US just like you can't buy any diesel in the US Frontier and Tacoma. -
maxa Posts: 4I just bought a 2007 Nissan Frontier SE CC LB 4x4 yesterday. I drove it home - about 8 miles and put it in the garage as I had several appointments to go to. I took it out of the garage this morning and discovered a 12" crack in the windshield on the passenger side. A rock chip caused the damage. Has anyone else had this type of damage to their windshield so soon after a chip? I own a business that has 9 vehicles and have never had a chip cause a huge crack in one day- usually it takes months for a chip to grow which gives me time to have it repaired. I also noticed 5 areas of the paint on the hood that are already chipped down to the primer- it has a clear bra which protected that area, but nowhere else on the hood. What the heck do I need to do to protect this paint? It is Red Brawn which I knew would be a problem, but I never dreamed it would be this bad after 15 minutes of driving.... Should I just take a hammer to the body of this truck to break it in????
moparbad Posts: 3,842A crack in glass can appear an indefinite amount of time after the glass is stuck by an object or weakened. Changes in temperature, force on the glass due to flexing of the body or hitting a pothole may cause crack to appear, worsen, or sometimes even break.
I have an 06 Nismo CC 4WD. About 15,000 miles on it and no issues with paint chips in any area other than in front of the rear wheels on the flare and quarter panel.
Environmentally friendly paint is not as durable as the old enamels.
I used to drive on interstate near one of the largest quarries in the US and no matter the make of the vehicle they ended up with chipped and damaged paint. They needed a paint job after the first year! Thankfully I moved.
Do you drive where there is a lot of road debris?
I'm not going to tell you the paint is not an issue on the Frontier, I just have not had any major issues.
I've read frequent accounts of paint complaints with the Frontier and the Tacoma.

Please show the table schema of all tables involved. Most likely you want to perform an INNER JOIN, not a LEFT (OUTER) JOIN, but if we can see your tables it would be helpful.

President's Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanics: The Next Step in Improving the Academic Achievement of Latino Students
Today, more than a dozen new members of the President's Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanics were announced at the White House and later sworn-in at an official ceremony with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor at the Smithsonian Institution Castle. These historic events mark the next step in improving the academic achievement of Latino students and the lives of all Hispanics nationwide.
Hispanic success in education and the labor market is important to America's economy. At more than 54 million strong – including nearly 4 million in Puerto Rico--Hispanics are both the largest and fastest-growing minority group, yet they have the lowest education attainment levels of any group in the country. In addition, Hispanics are the largest minority group in the public education system, with more than 1 in 5 students in our elementary, middle and high schools; however, it this group that has the lowest education attainment levels overall, according to the report recently released by our office.
This two-day inaugural meeting brings together a group of well-respected individuals from the education, philanthropic, business, nonprofit and high-tech sectors; they also represent various Latino subgroups and regions of the U.S. The primary goal of these meetings is to provide a platform for the Commission to think through the many ways in which it can meet the duties under its charter. They will work in tandem with our office to create a strategy that is bold and innovative and that enables this Nation to meet the President's 2020 Goal of having the most graduates in the world.
Through its work, the Commission will provide advice toPresident Obama and EducationSecretary Arne Duncan. In remarks given during our executive order signing ceremony last October, the President introduced Eduardo Padron, president of Miami-Dade College, as the chair of the Commission. As chair, Padron works with White House Initiative Executive Director Juan Sepúlveda and Deputy Director Jose Rico to convene regular Commission meetings, determine its agenda, and direct its work.
In addition, more than 400 people will be attending the Commissioner's swearing-in ceremony Thursday evening. The program, co-hosted by the Smithsonian Latino Center with unscripted remarks by Smithsonian Secretary Wayne Clough, Congressional Hispanic Caucus Vice-Chair Rep. Ruben Hinojosa, White House Director of Intergovernmental Affairs Cecilia Munoz and Commissioner Chair Eduardo Padron, will be held at the historic Smithsonian Institution Castle and Enid A. Haupt Gardens. The highlight of the program will be U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor's congratulatory remarks and the swearing-in of the Commissioners.
I hope you can watch the webcast of the meetings at 1 p.m. ET/Noon CT, today, and 9 a.m. ET/8 a.m. CT, tomorrow at www.WhiteHouse.gov/live. You can also watch the swearing-in ceremony at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/education-department. When you do, let us know what you think: What should the Commission do to increase the education attainment levels of Latinos?

Updated: September 21, 2014 6:17AM
VALPARAISO — Opportunity Enterprises' board of directors announced Tuesday that David Stupay has resigned as the non-profit agency's chief executive officer.
Ellen DeMartinis has been named interim CEO.
The agency, which serves more than 1,1000 people with disabilities, has seen a number of leaders since longtime CEO Gary Mitchell retired in 2010 after 25 years at the helm of the agency.
Stupay was hired about a year ago as CEO and resigned Friday, according to a news release from the agency. Stupay came to OE after serving as executive director for Espernaza Community Services, a Chicago-based non-profit.
Opportunity Enterprises is slated to receive $750,000 from Porter County this year, with $700,000 coming from the general fund and $50,000 from interest from the sale of the county hospital, said Vicki Urbanik, budget and finance specialist for the county council.
The agency has already received the hospital interest money, and received half of the money from the general fund, she said, with the other half of the general fund money coming later this year.
DeMartinis, who has been with OE for 21 years, last stepped in as interim CEO after the resignation of CEO William Trowbridge in July 2012. Trowbridge served for less than two years before his resignation, and was hired to take Mitchell's place.
Board chairman Kevin Steele, who in a prepared statement thanked Stupay for his accomplishments, said the board is meeting Thursday and will discuss the scope of the their search for a new director. The board conducted a national search for Stupay, and will decide whether to do so again for its next director. Trowbridge was hired internally after serving on the board for five years.
The board also will address why the CEO's spot has seen so much turnover in recent years.
"That, I guess, is part of what the board is trying to figure out," Steele said, adding the changes are relatively new for the agency. "I think that's a fair question and I don't have any answer for it, but it's certainly something we're looking at."
Because Stupay's resignation is a personnel matter, Steele said he couldn't provide further details. He did not know what Stupay's future plans might be.
DeMartinis has served as OE's director of human resources, chief operating officer, and vice president.
The agency recently completed an extensive comprehensive plan under Stupay's direction, and that work will go on as scheduled.
"Everyone has real confidence in us moving forward with that plan," DeMartinis said. "It's good days ahead. We have a strong team of people here and it's easy to work with a great team. We have very dedicated employees. This is just business as usual."

Scolari denies tax dodge claims
Comment on this storyRio de Janeiro — Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari on Tuesday denied any wrongdoing after being accused of tax evasion in Portugal.
Media reports had said Scolari was alleged to have not paid $9 million (about R93 million) in back tax dating from his 2003-2008 stint with the Portuguese national side.
"I made all my income tax declarations correctly," Scolari, who coached Brazil to the 2002 World Cup title, said.
"I always declared my earnings in all the countries I worked in," he insisted.
"I am absolutely convinced of the correctness of my declarations," he said.
"If there is something wrong it is not of my doing," said Scolari, who invited the authorities to look into "all the facts".– Sapa-AFP

Sterling Bank Plc (STERLNBA), a Nigerian lender, rose to the highest in more than three weeks after announcing it will pay a dividend for 2011.
The stock rose by the daily limit of 5 percent to 1.26 naira, the highest since March 22, as of 12:43 p.m. in Lagos. The shares have risen 25 percent this year.
Sterling will pay a dividend of 10 kobo per share for full- year 2011, it said in a Nigerian Stock Exchange statement today. Net income rose 60 percent to 6.69 billion naira ($42.5 million), the Lagos-based lender said. Revenue surged to 45.17 billion naira from 30.39 billion naira.
"It's the decision to pay a dividend that is pushing the price," Raheem Mohammed, chief operating officer of Kundila Finance Ltd., said by phone. "It is a pointer to improved performance in the future."
Sterling didn't pay a dividend in 2010 after returning to profit. Earnings are improving for the lender after Nigeria's central bank implemented banking reforms following a debt crisis in 2008 and 2009 that threatened the industry with collapse.

Mitsubishi Galant
a_l_hubcaps Posts: 518sean3-
I would keep the car. I think it's very, very unlikely that Mitsu will leave the US market. And even if they do, the parts and warranties will not just disappear. Heck, even Daewoo owners can still get their cars serviced, and that company completely collapsed. If you like the car and there's nothing wrong with it, keep it.
I actually like wheel covers because I'm in the hubcap business. I sell center caps for alloy and styled wheels too, but wheel covers are just cooler :-) There is a wide range of styling possible with wheel covers and it doesn't make sense to call them ugly in general, just because the '04 Galant's look like trash can lids. Here are a few much better looking ones:
'05 Nissan Altima
'05 Mazda 6
Even the ones on the previous-gen Galant were not too bad:
'03 Mitsubishi Galant
Compare to:
'05 Mitsubishi Galant
I have no idea why they settled on such an awful design. It's not like it would cost more to mold the same plastic in a different shape.

sean3 Posts: 158really look at other car makes there hubcaps arent exactly the face of beauty, Saw you pic of the '03 galant here are so many of those running around here in the last months, dealer quoted me nearly $900 to install the 10spoke factory alloys, I think its one of the few things you can do to a car that doesnt look cheap or to un factory looking, wheels can do alot for a cars profile, Man the 04 malibu is but, they messed up the window frames and used a funny molding around them that is crooked and last minute glued on look, Next time your next to one look at the rear door upper molding it looks out of place and fragile, ithink the '04 galant blows the 04 malibu away on body stlye, a few people told me my galant looks like a 4 door coupe, the rear 1/4 on the 04 maxima looks more like a saturn ion. i think mitsu did a better job on the galant, being maxima and galant have a similar shape, I loved the '93 maxima for its time it was one of the best lookin Japanese sedans under25K, Daewoo came way to late to the us market and there cars sucked and had really Lousy marketing ideas, I think the next couple years Mitsu will crawl up fron the trenches of the car industry, they have no dilusions, Mitsu says they will play a very important place in the niche market untill it makes a stronger presence in the mainstream, i was almost wondring if mitsu put alloys on theere 05 galants every one exept the DE model had them, not that hubs are ugly, but i like the fact of having something bolted to the car and not fall off (potholes), though honda and some others use to bolt there hubcaps behind the lugs, seems like a cheap good idea. maybe not for the hubcap business, IMHo, sean
a_l_hubcaps Posts: 518sean3-
"honda and some others use to bolt there hubcaps behind the lugs, seems like a cheap good idea."
Yeah, the bolt-on covers do work well if you install them correctly. It's amazing how many people pound them down over the lugs and then lose them all. As the saying goes, make something idiot-proof and they will make a better idiot!
Actually, I find that about 90% of hubcap losses happen because people install the caps wrong...break the clips, strip out the locking nuts, etc. That goes for wheel center caps too...they make up about half my business these days. I usually recommend that people take their hubcaps off before taking the car for service and put them back on later, to be sure it is done properly and not by some mechanic who is in a hurry.
Re Malibu: The new one is kind of weird looking, especially the front. It almost looks good, but not quite. GM can't quite seem to figure out what the styling theme for Chevy is supposed to be. The Cobalt looks completely different from the Malibu (but equally mediocre, IMHO).
-Andrew L -
a_l_hubcaps Posts: 518sean3-
The Cobalt is the replacement for the Cavalier. 2005 is the last model year for the Cavalier (I think it has already gone out of production; they might be still cranking out some in Mexico).
Spinner caps: Whoever thought of that was pretty clever, but I think they look kind of ridiculous. Also, most of the generic caps from discount stores fit very poorly.

chuck1 Posts: 1,405On page 74 in January 2005 Car and Drive it states that through September Mitsubishi's retail registrations had plunged 31.5 per-cent. with ALL MODELS EXCEPT the Montero Sport suffering double-digit declines.
During a shareholder meeting in Japan a shareholder said "It's like the Titanic. The rats are leaving this sinking ship. Not only the rats but also the cats and the cockroaches".
A company spokesman said the Mitsubishi's only salvation may be to mimic Isuzu of America's business plan, where dealers dealers shortly will only have one model, a rebadged Chevrolet truck. Ha-ha. A little black humor, there!
Like I said....5 years tops!!! -
a_l_hubcaps Posts: 518chuck1-
You know, if everyone had thought like that, the following car companies would be out of business today:
Every one of those makers went through a major financial and product crisis sometime in the last quarter-century, and every one of them pulled through. Mitsu has a new Eclipse, a new pickup truck and a new Lancer coming within the next year. Why write them off as unsaleable junk before you've even seen them?
-Andrew L -
lngtonge18 Posts: 2,228I wouldn't really worry about Mitsubishi until their sales drop below the 50k/yr mark. At that point, it would be hard for a financially strained company to stay in business. Daewoo sunk when its sales dropped to 40k. Hyundai considered dropping out of this market when their sales dropped to around 59k in their worst year. As it stands now however, Mitsu has sold over 150k cars this year, including their rarest model ever to me (04 Lancer Sportback Ralliart). That's not a bad number of cars. Yes, its much less then what they were doing a few years ago, but its definitely not worthy of dooms day proclamations. It took 5 years for Hyundai to build enough steam to get out of their financial troubles and about 3 years for Nissan. As long as sales don't continue to plummet sharply, Mitsu has a very good chance of turning things around. I do foresee a continued decrease in sales, mostly due to dropping 3 models this year and 1 next year as well as no longer selling to fleets, but it should begin to level off within the next year. As long as this occurs, I'm confident Mitsu will be around for many years to come.
sean3 Posts: 158what I was saying all along, at least 1/2 dozen car companies have been where mitsu is now, and look at Hyndai now, and Mitsu's problems really dont relate to the quality of there cars, my 2004 Galant continues to impress me and I drive about 3,000 monthly,19Kmiles so far, while my buddies '03 accord saw more problems in 3K than my Galant has, infact not one,of the cars you listed hubcaps Mitsu fairs best in quality, suzuki doesnt seem in much better shape, and they just opened a new dealership here ford-suzuki.If mitsu had the Market Adevertising power that say toyota does, they would probably sell 200,000+ Galants yearly, based on the car how it is now. Bad business decisions, not bad cars at all. I think Mitsu will prove itself as a serious competitor when there self-inflicted wounds start to heal..IMO Sean
sean3 Posts: 158did some dirty business, they basically used mitsu for Plant operation and product planning, heck the best chrysler products were the ones that used Mitsubishi powertrains in the Mid-late 90's IMO All the bad loans Mitsu swallowed and barely any fleet sales. I think the New Endeavor and Galant are the best looking in there segment, and the Ralliart in its own rare class, and Diamante a great lux cruiser, The eclipse is getting Long in the tooth. Mitsu is moving away from the youth target which I guess only worked for a short time, then they decided they didn't want to pay there car notes stupid on mistsu's part 0-0-0 for a year, hello what did they think would happen?, Give Mitsu a good year to clean up there act, as I said from past and present experience they build Quality cars, every bit as trustworthy as Hi volume manufacturers.
sean3 Posts: 158on mmy 04 galant and noticed on top it says mivcc? reminds me of the old civic lettering, (just to add washer fluid, its WAY below freezing here in Chicago, also it seemlike it takes forever for my gallant to get warm towards the middle of the guage especially sitting at stoplights, but the heater works well, GUess its better than overheating, my Ford would overheat at -10 below zero! Sean
sean3 Posts: 158Chuck, go over to the daewoo collapse, I dont think mitsu is near where daewoo was, as ingtonge stated "they were below 36,000 sales!, Daewoo wouldn't leave without kicking and screaming, Fors intially bid for daewo was 7 or 8 Billion, give or take, and GM Idled almost a year when they made there intial offer, well below fords intial offer, All daewoo offered was a few cars and hatchbacks, and had no engine or tranny factory. Mitsu developes and manufactures there own, I think some people are confused about mitsu, They are NOT korean. There prices are really in the same ballpark as honds or toyota, though closer to Mazda's. maybe they should bite the bullet and lower prices slightly for a year or so? to pick some sales up. IMO thru a good chunk of '05 they will level out and by 2006 or so they will be outa the red. I see nothing but rave reviews on the Lancer sportback, Although Mitsu hurts itself not offering true manuals trannys, I know if one would have been available on my 04 galant thats what i would have, Obviously I am a little Biased as a newer mitsu owner. They are great cars for there segment, and just as capable as competitors, there strenghts will outlast the red they are in now, IMHO Sean
a_l_hubcaps Posts: 518I posted a lot when the Daewoo collapse was in the news, and people here at Edmunds were claiming that GM would scrap all of Daewoo's engineering functionality and immediately convert the plants to put out Delta and Epsilon-based cars. I said that was absurd, and I was right. In fact, I said that we would see Daewoos back in the US under different badges, and I was right about that, too. You can go back to the old posts in the archives and look at some of the nonsense that other people were spewing. It is very rare that a car company just completely collapses and disappears without a trace.
-Andrew L -
sean3 Posts: 158I had never really payed attention to Daewoo before, seems they were here on day then gone, Literally, the laganza wasn't a bad looking car at all for its time, Isn't the tinny Chevy Aveo some kind of Daewoo-Gm combo? Does anyone remember when GM was offering a Geo Metro when you bought a Full size chevy van, or maybe it was a truck ? basically something that got below 15MPg highway.
a_l_hubcaps Posts: 518
fushigi Posts: 1,258I don't see that many new Galants around, although it does seem to be slowly gaining in popularity. I do see a fair number of Endeavors. Lots & lots of the prior-gen Galant & Montero Sports here in Chicagoland (western 'burbs) as well. I see some Outlanders & Diamantes as well; more than I do Lancers.
My 99 LS is going strong with 96K miles. -
tennis_playa Posts: 6Hello. I own an '03 Galant and I've posted before about how much i enjoyed it and how much I saved buying it one year old. AND I bought in on Ebay.
Anyway, I recently took off the driver's side mirror. The mirror is intact and works, but the casing cracked in half. Does anyone know the name of that part? I don't think I need a new mirror, just the casing. And can I install it myself? I have a pretty reasonable skill level. I have been looking online, but I don't see what the name of this part I need is. if anyone could help me and guide me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. Thanks! -

ctm06 Posts: 2It's important that you do the 60K service to ensure the longevity of your engine. By failing to the service or prolonging it, you damage your engine.Not only that it causes excessive wear on other mechanical parts. I own a '99 Galant ES (4 cylinder) and my 60K service set me back about $700 (V6 versions run about $850.) After I had it performed I notice a great difference in the way my vehicle drived/performed.
ctm06 Posts: 2Has anyone had to replace the shift linkage in their transmission. I was at the store the other day and I went and came back out and I got in my car and it wouldn't start. The engine wouldn't even turn over all I heard was this little buzzing sound. Well anyways I had to call a tow truck to have the vehicle towed to Mitsubishi. They told it was the shift linkage. This cost me $242 parts and labor. Has anyone experienced this or has anyone heard of this as being a common problem. Also my paint started chipping on my hood. I took it in for an estimate and I was told that the car was never sanded before it was painted. Is their anyway I can get in contact with Mitsubishi to see if they could pay for it. I tried the number on their site but it doesn't work 1-888-MITSU2005.
lngtonge18 Posts: 2,228In all honesty, the timing belt can probably last 100k with no problems, but since its recommended to be changed at 60k, its better to be safe then sorry. Since the timing belt drives the water pump, its usually just a good idea to go ahead and replace the water pump because there is a chance it may fail before you are due for your next timing belt change. If it does, you will be up for another huge repair bill. The water pump is normally replaced for simply the cost in parts since no extra labor is involved when doing the timing belt.
So at 60k, I would suggest that the dealer replace all belts, the water pump, spark plugs, and tranny fluid and flush the brake fluid and cooling system. I would not simply ask for the 60k checkup as that is usually padded with bs inspection fees. -
anonymousposts Posts: 4,202Due to an unfortunate accident (I was rear-ended)my 04 Accord is in the body-shop. The rental vehicle is a 2004 Galant ES with 30,000 miles. After one 80 mile trip here are my first impressions ...
The Good
1. Drives nice
2. Stereo is great even in the ES model I have
3. It's roomy
4. The engine feels peppy at lower speeds
5. Even in this abused rental car the cabin is pretty rattle-free
The Bad
1. The interior has way too many textures, shapes, and colors.
2. The steering wheel makes me feel like I am driving a school bus
3. The engine is noisy both under acceleration and while cruising.
4. There is an overal "cheap" feel to the interior.
Overall, it's a decent car but not up to class-leading levels in most aspects.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Chichi!
Facts about Chichi
- Breed: Quarterhorse
- Color: Paint
- Age: Adult
- Size: Medium
- Sex: Female
Chichi's Info...
I am purebred, in need of an experienced adopter, and up to date with shots.
Chichi is a beautiful 1999 APHA bay tobiano mare. She is a wonderful herd mom. All the youngsters used to go out to pasture with Chichi, and she taught them their manners which made them wonderful to work with. Chichi was probably abused in the past, so needs quiet handling. She is not aggressive, only fearful. This is a very nice looking mare, bay tobiano with a lovely face, great conformation and lots of flash. She will need a special person with lots of patience and plenty of love to give. Chichi will require an advanced handler with training experience.
Other Pets at All About Equine Animal Rescue, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Chichi, a El Dorado Hills Quarterhorse was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Quarterhorse for sale in El Dorado Hills, or seeking a Quarterhorse from a breeder in El Dorado Hills.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in El Dorado Hills already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a El Dorado Hills breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Quarterhorse breeders who help with Quarterhorse rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in El Dorado Hills paves the way for another one to be saved.

Another wonderful start to a season of The Closer, which unfortunately will be the last one. The death of the new chief came as a complete surprise to me, as well as the previews showing us his replacement (Pope). Another surprise is how low other people are rating this episode, which had some really cool twists and turns.
The lawsuit isn't unexpected given her behavior in the last episode of last year, yet at the same time, it is understandable. I really do suspect she'll come out smelling OK, as her visible acts are clearly by the book. While her actions could have been better, they were within what was necessary and proper. She returned him to his home per his request.
I'm not sure who will replace Pope, but given how he cares for Brenda and how well she works out for him, I don't think it should be an issue. Yet, the writers might cause her issues given the need to spice things up. One thought is to actually promote her to three stars (to be Asst. Chief of Police) and have her continue reporting to Pope. There isn't any real reason why Major Crimes couldn't have a three star Chief in charge of it. Taylor could then get his second star (well instead of going from one to three stars).
The previews shows Fritz giving Brenda his concern about Pope, which does open up some interesting avenues. Another thought is to have Brenda leave the L.A.P.D by the end of the series. She and Fritz could move to DC and she could end up working for Homeland Security or back to the CIA or even to the FBI. He skills are useful in so many areas.
I really am looking forward to this season and know my hope for more than the normal number of episodes won't happen, but one can hope. I'd love to see 22 or 26 final episodes, but hey, I just can't get enough of this fun and exciting series.

Subaru Crew Problems & Solutions
bassist Posts: 15Anyone have advice or similar experience here
Last week my '01 Forester went to the dealer for a bad fuel injector (was running on only 3 cylinders for a while). They replaced the fuel injector, but less
than a week later I'm having almost the same problem (very rough idle and very weak acceleration in any gear). Ironically, the check engine light never lit up!! Ever since I had the car the dang CEL lights up every few days when the car was running fine. Maybe it was just detecting the symptoms of the real problem that occurred later on.
I have less than 3000 miles on the car and it's been back to the dealer about 5 times now for various things. I've never had so much problem with a brand new car. -
rsholland Posts: 19,742I had not heard of the term interference engine before. I thought all engines with timing belts were subject to serious engine damage, if they snapped. If that's the problem, sounds like you're in luck. Let's hope so.
I'm glad to see all Subarus with timing belts (except the SVX) are designed that way. Note, the new Outback H-6 has a timing chain, not a belt, so hopefully, that will never be a problem—assuming the engine has otherwise been properly maintained.
Bob -
kens Posts: 5,869Since we're on the topic, I thought I'd ask:
The owner's manual for my 98 Forester calls for a timing belt replacement at a little over 100K miles. A local dealer has a timing belt replacement as part of their 60K mile service package. When I asked them on why so soon for a timing belt change, they told me that "that's what they recommend".
Is there any need to get the belt replaced so soon? I'm a little skeptical.
Ken -
hondafriek Ottawa CanadaPosts: 2,941As far as I am aware the only interference subaru engine is the 2.5 all other engines are fine. Mike the engine will turn but the valves will not open or close the distributer will not turn hence no spark no spark no fire the only expense you should incur is what you would normally pay to have the timing belt replaced.
Cheers Pat. -
paisan Posts: 21,181According to Gates, the 2.5l engines are not interference... wonder if there are any other guides out there that could confirm or deny the gates claims.... The Gates guide only goes up to 1998, and the SOHC 2.5s didn't come into being til 98 in the impreza and 00 in the legacies... Go figure.
-mike -
hondafriek Ottawa CanadaPosts: 2,941Subaru only calls for a timing check at 60,000 miles the dealer I think is just scamming if the timing belt needed replacing before 100,000 don;t you think Subaru would be pushing it Dealers will push a lot of stuff in order to boost their bottom line do not fall for it.
Cheers Pat. -

anibalb Posts: 193Pat,
What kind of financial trouble is Qsubaru in? I had called Darlene and she said that she had the woodgrain and that she was just waiting for the Cargo basket? She did say that she was going to call me when she got it with the tracking number and I have not heard anything since. So now what? Are they bankrupt? Should I call Darlene again? I think it has been 3 weeks since I ordered my stuff. It is somewhat annoying that I don't have it yet. Juice what is going on??? -
anibalb Posts: 193Folks,
On saturday I spent the day detailing my new OB. I used Klasse and that stuff is superb. The shine is incredible. My car is whit. I can imagine what it will do on the dark colors. It is also very easy to apply. It works great on the wheels. I am very impressed and recommend it. It is pricey but well worth it. Also the amount I used seems that this stuff will last for a while (years). And they say the shine lasts from 6-9 months and with the glaze up to 12 months. I don't mind only detailing my car twice a year.. It really works well. -
pattim3 Posts: 533Good morning! I'm baaacccckkkk. The trip was great.
Paisan - your timing belt failure (which it sounds like it is) will not cause damage to other components in your XT. Repairs should be the same as having the belt changed at maintenance. The 2.5's can have a problem if the belt breaks, depending on the position of the valves when it fails. However, they also have a larger/heftier belt so that shouldn't be a problem (note: 60K maint. of the belt in older models, 100K+ for newer). The 6 cylinder does use a chain and it appears to be pretty sturdy, so I wouldn't anticipate a problem, UNLESS, there is an oil starvation issue. Maintenance is key to these vehicles.

pattim3 Posts: 533
ateixeira Posts: 72,587paisan: we paid about $300-400 to change the belt on our Mazda. Add $150 or so to change the pumps (good idea). Glad that's all it is.
Pat: I agree. Don't spend the entire break-in period doing 5 mile commutes. Vary your driving as much as possible - trips, errands, aggressive drives on your favorite road, etc. Just shift at 4000rpm and don't use cruise control.
Bassist: that sucks. I would suspect the plugs, plug wires, fuel, fuel filter, ECM, etc. Have the dealer look at each until they get it fixed.
Anibal: give Darlene a call to see if your orders were placed before the dealership's relationship with Subaru went south. The owner wasn't paying the bills, so Subaru cut them off, basically. Darlene may be unemployed soon, and we've lost our favorite supplier.
Ken: Subaru says to "inspect" the belt at 60k, change no later than 105k. That dealership may figure it's easier to just change it early. Given how you drive (aggressively), and where you've been (all over the place, including off road), it may not be a bad idea to let the dealer do it early.
-juice -
paisan Posts: 21,181On a side note, I have to commend AAA+ they rocked. Towed my car on flatbed back from LI to Staten Island and showed up within 20 minutes, of course at the same time I had locked my keys in the car and they had to get another tow-truck to come with a kit to open my door, all in all, it took 30-35minutes to get my car up on the flatbed and they drove it all the way out to my house. Anyone who has AAA should definitely get the Plus option (I think you can get it after 2 or 3 years).
-mike -
ateixeira Posts: 72,587Darlene doesn't want to move. She's hoping a comptent owner will take over (so am I).
She may have to work for a different dealer, but there are no other Soob dealers close by. That would be our loss, trust me.
paisan: thanks for the heads-up. We have AAA and I'll look into that. What else do you get, and for how much?
-juice -
ateixeira Posts: 72,587They worked for us once, big time. We were in the Poconos, far and away from civilization, and locked the keys inside. They saved us within an hour. Given how far we were, I was impressed.
They respond very quickly in DC, too, and the guy even made me a spare key for the office!
-juice -
locke2c Posts: 5,038Gates is wrong, some of the 2.5L are interference. On the 2000+ 2.5L SOHC (10.0:1 CR) the valves will hit the piston, and on any DOHC model the valves will smack each other but not the piston.
It's best not to break a timing belt on them. In case no one ever explained it to Bob, interference means that the valves can impact either themselves (DOHC only, since SOHC can't move the valves independently even if the timing belt is off) or the piston (either). Correct timing prevents this from happening in normal operation.
Ken, the replacement at 60K is a bit overzealous. At 60K it's due for inspection though, and perhaps their experience has shown that a majority of them are showing enough wear to warrant replacement. It is really not that much labor to remove the fans and timing cover to inspect the belt.
-Colin -
anibalb Posts: 193I suspect that I will not get my order from Darlene. She said that she would call with a tracking number and she never did. Unless the phone was busy? I may just aske her to send the woodgrain and some oil filters! However I just called and she is not there. KATE5000 where in the Bay Area are you? I am here too. Where did you buy your Subie. Not many dealers here. It is never a good ideal to let timming belts break. However I was in hwy once doing 85mph on a VW rabbit and mine broke. Mechanic just put new belt and car was just fine. My friend did same thing with BMW and it cost him 1K. So I would prefer to be safe. Since you have to replace them anyway. Better sooner than later.
kate5000 Posts: 1,267I live in the East Bay, in a small town of Castro Valley up on the hills. I bought my latest Soob from Livermore dealer, and prior to that I bough a soob from Oakland downtown. I was not thrilled with those dealers. Most people feel good about Carlsen Volvo-Subaru on the Penninsula, but at the time I was shopping they were too expensive (> 3.5% over invoice).
anibalb Posts: 193I called and I get voice message! Where are we going to get our Subie parts now? Bummer, just when I though I was all set. Also, anyone out there know if there is a repair manual for the 01 models? I have plenty of time I suppose.
It is interesting that before, most cars required timming belts to be changed before 100K. Now with all the extended warranties up until 100K, my OB says to replace them at 105K. Love that! -
anibalb Posts: 193Kate,
I am in Walnut Creek. I did not realize there was a Subie Dealer in Oakland. I looked in the yellow pages online and nothing came up other than Redwood city and Vallejo I think. I bought mine here in W.C. It is a bit pricey but I liked the car. It turns out that the service guy is excellent. It is getting more difficult to make those pmts. Wife just lost her job!!! -
bat1161 Posts: 1,784AAA plus goes for $40 more than the regular fee. It does give you free towing up to 100 miles,as well as more coverage for lock out and gas service.
As for timing belts, I had one go on my old Honda while on vacation in Virginia. They replaced it for $250-300 (I think). It did take two days, and the replacement was still on the car when I got rid of it with 122M miles for the OB.
Mark -
paisan Posts: 21,181Hey Juice it doesn't matter how long the warranty is, cause timing belt is considered "wear and tear" item on the car and wouldn't be covered under the warranty. AAA+ is like $60/year max I don't remember exactly it was either $45 or $60 but not sure of which. It gives you 100 miles towing for free instead of like 3 miles, probably some other bennies but the 100 miles of towing was a major one.

It has been a little while. Sorry, I'm not really the type of guy that does frequent updates weekly, daily, whatever, like the folks in Obsidian and InXile(Although, they are pretty much obligated to do so due to their respective kickstarter commitments) I just don't. Anyway, this time we are going to look at the ingame user interfaces. WIP stuff INCOMING!
Needless to say, more media and stuff coming soon, so stay tuned.

Download it and unpack into your MutantsRising folder. You will be prompted to override some files and you should agree. The patch will probably break...
Great game all I've had is a graphics "quirk" with the intro movie looking like colorful static all though i can pick most of it out and the skill dex and character numbers/percentages look the same as the intro movie idk why, i know its not my computer since I've played a lot of other games and they work and look perfect. Fallout works and looks perfect its only those aspects that are wrong with the game so far
This is usually because the game is trying to in 8-bit color mode, but the lowest that windows 7 supports is 16-bit. There are ways to fix it, but I decided it was too much trouble for such a small issue :P
I played this one first, then the first one, in which case the first one becomes like a prequel. Fallout 2 has more things going on but they are both worth playing
I don't know if anyone noticed, but the original fallout was released for linux! Would love to see these released for linux too!
I find it better to play as a retard in this game, makes it more of a challenge...
Plus some of the conversations are rather priceless.
Yay! Interplay is getting back into things. Maybe we will get Descent soon? It has been ages since I played Descent 2 and Descent 3 has gotten old after the multiplayer died and I beat the story like 5 times.
Fallout 2, great game. Can't say best, because it and the new Fallouts are so different. Almost different games all together. If you like retro games, you will love this!
Highest Rated (4 agree) 10/10
Old classic. I played with it first in 2010, but I loved it. I think this game must be the idol of every game. It's improved a lot since the first part.

"Make ready to land our troops beyond their energy shield and deploy the fleet so that nothing gets off that system."
–Darth Vader, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
In his introduction to the dark side affiliations of Star Wars™: The Card Game, Senior LCG Designer Nate French commented that each of the game's six affiliations has its own core philosophies. Now as The Hoth Cycle explores new territory within the game, it reinforces those core truths about each affiliation's central strengths.
That means that while the cycle's Force Packs enrich the card pool with new objective sets and provide all the dark side affiliations with new methods to combat and defeat the galaxy's freedom fighters, the Imperial Navy's objective sets continue to reinforce the affiliation's aggressive tendencies.
As Nate wrote, "The Imperial Navy provides the dark side player with a hyper-aggressive approach that takes the fight directly to his opponent. They are all about attacking and destroying light side objectives."
Soon, players will see more evidence to the truth of Nate's assessment with the arrival of the Imperial Navy cards in A Dark Time, the third Force Pack in The Hoth Cycle.
In the Shadows of Star Destroyers
It is a dark time for the Rebellion as the Imperial Navy's fleet of Star Destroyers arrives at Hoth, and while the objective set built around A Dark Time for the Rebellion (A Dark Time, 242) doesn't feature Star Destroyers, it does offer a comprehensive and intimidating display of the Empire's ground presence in the shadows of its fleet.
- If the Imperial Navy are aggressive at their core, it's because they not only wish to take the fight directly to their opponents but have the means to do so. A Dark Time for the Rebellion reinforces this aggressive mindset by offering the chance to force one point of damage upon your light side rival each turn. Of course, with two copies of the objective, the damage accelerates nicely even more quickly, and it costs you nothing. It's just free damage, each turn, that you can pile on your opponent to keep the pressure hard and fast. The rest of the set, then, offers a number of nice synergies to take full advantage of any damage your opponent assigns to his objective.
- Despite the obvious power of A Dark Time for the Rebellion, it's the second card in the set that's most likely its focus. The Imperial Officer, Colonel Starck (A Dark Time, 243), specializes in finishing off wounded foes. When attacking undamaged objectives, his solitary is hardly a deal for his four cost, but against damaged objectives he gains two icons and two icons, none of which are edge-dependent. One icon for four cost may be too few, but five icons? That's a terrific bargain. Better yet, Colonel Starck's damage capacity of three gives him enough backbone to survive a hit or two and guide his battalion toward victory!
- Speaking of Starck's battalion, the objective set features two copies of the MTV-7 (A Dark Time, 244). Adaptable to many environments, the MTV-7 is easier to deploy than AT-STs and offers one to utilize in the Empire's defense or to assault light side objectives. Of course, those MTV-7s under Colonel Starck's command are likely to strike with him against damaged objectives to help finish them off, and against them, the MTV-7 gains one icon.
- If you're unable to get early damage on an opponent's objective, or if all your bonus icons still won't shatter the light side's defenses in a single blow, The Moorsh Moraine (A Dark Time, 245) provides you yet another tool to crush the Rebellion and its allies. It raises the bonus damage you score against your opponents' objectives with unopposed attacks from one to two. Since most objectives have a damage capacity of five or four, that single point of damage is a truly significant boost, and while it plays well with the other cards in the objective set, the Moorsh Moraine truly shines in a deck filled with cheap Vehicles and Characters, like TIEs and Troopers, that can swarm past light side defenses.
- Completing the objective set is the highly versatile event, Heavy Fire (A Dark Time, 246). As an action, it can add a or icon to a target friendly unit before that unit strikes. This may provide enough of a boost to destroy the light side's defending unit or allow you to push enough damage past their defenses to destroy their objective. And that's the point of this objective set: it provides Imperial Navy players with new tools to destroy their opponents' objectives and, in that way, keep the pressure on the light side.
Each dark side affiliation works to advance the Death Star dial to "12," but each goes about the process in its own, unique fashion. In A Dark Time, A Dark Time for the Rebellion depicts the Imperial Navy's newest efforts to crush the Rebellion and its allies, but the other dark side affiliations each also gain new tools to propel them to victory.

text: Im having issues eating enough. Im just not hungry as much since ive been working out daily at the beginning or end of the day depending on the day. Im afraid Im not eating enough...barely entering 1200 cals and thats adding back in calories after working out. So for example I eat 1000-1200 and burn 300-400 so im at a 200-300 cal deficit daily for that low limit. I just feel so full after small meals...eating more would force myself to eat more. Do yall reccomend I start adding in protien powder to get more calories in and build muscle? Do you know a powder that is formulated for weight loss?
