82transam - watashi wa what? I searched some and found watashi wa == I want to be. tanooki desu?

Bob - at least your wife put candles on the cake. Mine just kept talking about fire risk and buring the house down with the candles. Funny girl. I'll bide my time on her, just waiting a few years till it's her turn. Then there's my brother who took a pic of my car and photoshopped it black, with number 40 on the door and a big AARP logo on the back panel. Funny guy. I need to figure out how to include the pic in my sig.

brian - age counts for something, doesn't it. But I'm learning about my RX-7 from people of all ages here.

Haven't been here too long yet but thanks for all the work you've done and the dedication to the board. I'm sure everyone here appreciates it

Oh and don't worry about the age, 40 isn't that bad. You're only just a little more than twice my age

brian - do a search here and at mazspeed.com for the pros and cons of DLIDFIS, the 2nd gen leading coil mod, HEI and MSD. I'm going to the 2nd gen coil one because it looks simpler and it's cheaper. If I can ever find a 2nd gen coil...

As far as the thread hijack goes, just keep stroking inittab's ego with the compliments and I'm sure he won't take offense.

brian, I recommend the 2nd Gen leading coil direct fire mod. It's cheap (about $15) and easy (20 minutes) with nice results. Check out the FAQ for links about how to do it. I'll be happy to help you out with it if you have any questions.

slashdawg00110, compliments will get you everywhere with THIS mod.

Oh and 2nd Gen coils pop up on eBay all the time.

haha, thats been up there for weeks and finally someone commented on it. Man I was starting to think no one cared Anyway, its Japanese as you obviously know, and "watashi" means "I" "wa" is the object marking particle, "tanooki" means either raccon or badger, depending on what dictionary you look at, and "desu" is the possesive verb. So it means "I am a raccon/badger" Tanooki is also one of the suits you can use in Mario Brothers 3, one of the best games ever.

Bob, you are a moderator without equal! Well, carl is equal, but you're more equal.

I'm bidding on a 2nd gen leading coil as I type this.

It's a *nix thing. It's a file that provides instructions to the script (init) that controls the operating system startup.

For enquiring minds:

Edit: Ooops, almost forgot. Windows sucks ***. *nix rocks. And OS X is for the discriminating, well-bred computer user.

you need to have it hosted somewhere on the 'net. Mine's at cardomain.com. Then go to the control panel, edit your profile. In the signature box, type [img] then the http://.... and then [/img]. Save your profile changes. Voila!
