    Rod Knock - Go JDM 7M or Overhaul Current 7M?

    A rebuild job on your current 7M should net you a better engine than the JDM version. However, the JDM swap will be cheaper. I doubt this is the mechanic's fault, it's probably related to the earlier BHG - if you get water in your oil from that, it's pretty easy to roast a bearing.

    ecu differences?

    Oh hell... all this time I've been posting in an NA thread. Sorry guys - I just use the NEW POSTS feature from the menubar, sometimes I end up posting where I should be keeping my damn mouth shut.

    ecu differences?

    Found it... here's the ECU pinouts for both GTE ECUs. Notice that they are completely different. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11783&highlight=maft+install

    Desparately in need of MHG in Vancouver area

    I've got a used HKS in the garage, I figure it's worth ~$75. (That's what I paid for it, anyway. :)) That and a can of permatex brake quiet spray should hold whatever you throw at it. I'm in Richmond, but I head for the North Shore pretty regularly on the weekends to ride the mountain bike.

    SSQV Adjustment

    In theory, all the way out will be friendlier to your turbo, but you'll loose some of the sound.

    ecu differences?

    The plugs are very different. Somewhere I have pinout diagrams for them both, I'll try to dig them out. I'm completely in the dark when it comes to the GE ECUs, I've never seen one or a pinout for one.

    front main oil seal leaking/help

    Or d) your oil pump drive shaft seal is gone. It's in between the cam seals and the front mail seal, but you have to pull the timing cover rear plate to access it.

    ecu differences?

    Plugs are different, and the later ECUs have an internal altitude sensor, the earlier ones were external and mounted under the glove box.

    Disk paging? I have 4 gigs of ram. I didn't notice any paging... :D I didn't notice a whole lot of differences, to be honest - I shut off UAC right away, and windows defender is off... and windows firewall, etc. I'm a competent enough tech to fix problems that I run into without resorting to...

    1st Mini for 2007

    Sure - you can have mine for, oh, about $6000. ;) I'd really rather keep it, though, pulling it out is such a pain!

    need help with dirtbag roommate.

    You can take him to court, but getting him to pay is likely still going to be a problem. Unfortunately the landlord will probably take it out on you anyway, as you're their best bet to get the money. If you're lucky you might be able to force the landlord to sue you both - and if you can prove...

    I've been using Vista for a couple months now - I can't live without the new search feature anymore.

    Weddings: Who else got suckered?

    I must admit, the second wedding was a lot better for both of us. We'd both been married before, I had the ultra-small wedding with my X, she'd had the huge family affair with her's, we settled on something in the middle - threw a party for our friends and family, told everyone they were...

    Mozilla Firefox

    Firefox is just like IE, except faster, more secure, less virus writers trying to rape it, and it has tabbed browsing. So, basically, it's like comparing a Lada to your Supra. ;)
