My understanding is that changing oil when warm/hot helps ensure that the particulates in the oil are suspended and drain (or are sucked out) better. Though the time may come when I won't want to go under the car, I, too, use the oil change as an opportunity to visually inspect things. In fact, isn't that what a lot of garages do? My Penzoil experiences: In about 1968, we opened the engine of my brother's Bonneville and found lots of sludge; I think it was for a valve job. Things were cleaned and put back together. A few months later the valve covers were removed again, and it was all sludged up already. Forward to the winter of 1984/1985. We had just moved back to Wisconsin w/our 1969 Ambassador w/over 100k miles. At the time we had no garage, there was lots of snow on the ground and we were in a cold snap. Not wanting to go much beyond the 2k change interval (the engine got noiser at about that point) I took it to a quick oil change place. Aside from getting oil splashed on the windshield, overtightening the PS cover to the point of bending it, they used Penzoil. My wife commented that the engine sounded like a sewing machine. I changed the oil myself a week later. Never again.

I can't help but wonder if the $5 extra it would cost to add better speed to the control unit is avoided just because of the economies of scale. It's amazing what pressure automotive suppliers find themselves under to cut the cost of a part by a few pennies. Maybe in the future, they'll see fit to include wi-fi as an interface instead. You could park in the dealers lot and get a software update in a minute. Maybe even just by driving past!

It isn't the specification for sure, a lot of the ISO 9141 controllers and interfaces on the market appear to support up to 1Mbps, some claim to support up to 2Mbps. > Maybe in the future, they'll see fit to include wi-fi as an interface > instead.

There was a documentary on Public Radio a couple of months ago about used car dealers fitting remote activated kill switches to the cars for high credit risk sales. They would turn the car off if people stopped paying and just use the GPS system to locate the car, then turn around and sell it to someone else. I am suprised that the car manufacturers haven't thought of that one yet. It would open up a whole new market for them, people who can't afford to buy the car.

I have a friend in car rental business. He install such device in his fleet. He had to deactivate the car one time when the guy failed to extend lease and payment after the rental agreement expired. The guy called up reporting the car broke down. He had to drove to Las Vegas with a friend to pick up the car. Will Get Firefox! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

The wheels are silver Kosei K1 custom drilled for BMW E30 offset 17mm 4x100 16x8.5. They are in fairly good shape, have some cone marks, blue valves are without caps. Two of the wheels have 3-prong indentations on the inside from tire mounting machine, they go all the way through the paint. The stickers on the inside or the rims do not have a value for PCD since these were originally sold as blanks. Tires are Hoosier Radial DOT Wets in 245/45/16. They are slightly used. Two of the tires are of old design (production date 06/04) without the little holes on the outside blocks and two are of new design (production 17/04) with holes on the inside blocks. One of the old design tires has a molding defect on one side. It appears as though there wasn't enough rubber to fill the mold completely. This defects are very small, but are present almost all the way around. I had just used these during the first day of Toledo National Tour, so they are somewhat dirty. Here's a couple of good shots of these from previous years: http://e30.us/autocross/Cendiv/Championship-2003/pages/DSC00059.htm http://e30.us/autocross/NationalTour/Toledo-2003/pages/DSC00112.htm http://e30.us/autocross/2004/ovr/4-19-2004/Autocross%20036.jpg If these show up anywhere I'd greatly appreciate any info.
