I'm loving my new TV especially now that I had the picture calibrated. One thing I notice though is that the picture isn't as nice while streaming Netflix and other HD content compared to Blu-Ray discs. I might have to renew my old blockbuster card.

why not use the disc delivery service from Netflix? ...last I heard blockbuster was bought out by dish and liquidated all their locations.

plus: nice TV!

Hmmm @Calum @Allch Chcar @Dimman interestingly, the groaning noise seems to be back...

That post cat O2 sensor fault also keeps on coming back :/

Old cars. Grrr.

I am going to try some in tank cleaner stuff, too lazy to do anything fancy like pulling spark plugs and filling the cylinders. I had someone else tell me about the unburned gas smell too...I drove my car into a parking lot fully warmed up, and cut the engine. 5 minutes later, friend walks over and says it smells terrible >_< I suppose I do need new O2 sensors sometime. Probably just get the 2 fuel trim sensors, and then use one of the old ones to replace the post cat sensor, since the ECU seems like it's okay with a slightly wonky post cat sensor as long as it doesn't go completely dead.

Good news is, I'm approaching 700 miles, and the oil level has only fallen 2mm on the dipstick w00t. None of that 1 quart per 1000 mile horror story bullcrap.

The unburnt fuel smell, does it seem like it's burning your eye? If so, it's more likely a lean burn condition which I have seen being caused by a bad downstream O2 sensor on cars of your cars' era.

No, it's pretty much just like evaporating gasoline, no burning the eye. If it were a lean burn condition I also suspect my gas mileage would be rather good heh. I looked up the code and it seems that it is triggered only when the O2 sensor voltage reads abnormally low for 2 minutes.

So your car smells my friend's 88 CRX? Gross...have to drive with the HVAC on recirculate when I'm behind that thing.

Well, I've never driven behind it because I'm always driving while inside it, but when I put it in reverse and back out, the cabin becomes filled with the smell :/

Today some 350Z took off at a stop sign and made a huge racket, as I walked across the street I realized the car was probably decatted, and it smelled a lot better than my car

Naw I only get a quick whiff when I back out of a driveway, it's the brain cells of the other people around that are weeping.

Why? Hear a guy sounding like Guff call in talking about this girl he takes out in his soup and the numerous guys giving him trouble on a certain forum?

Man I walked past this block where a lot of motorcycles parked, it smelled like someone had just dumped a gallon of gas on the ground. Stupid motorcycles.

Damn it! I'm tired and can't keep my eyes open at work... I need Samuel L Jackson to tell me "WTFU!" lol

Alright... that's it! I'm not merging, moving, deleting thread til I can wake up. I'm screwing up the threads! Sorry, @vh_supra26 didn't mean to screw up the Vortex SC thread you made. I was half sleep/wake and wasn't thinking clearly... but I think I've fixed it correct...
