That's back on topic?  Or, was "Lou Diaz's Random Nintendo Fanboy Rants" the topic all along and you were just using OS4 as a smokescreen to spread your Pro-Nintendo, Pro-VB.NET, and Pro-Pontiac Fiero propaganda.   :-P

This thread is.....................................................................................like swimming in mud. I think I'll be interested again about the time somebody who is actually doing something to make this happen starts posting....................a year, a whole bl**dy year of "Oh yes you can" and "Oh no you can't", tedious, damn tedious.  :roll:

I'm thinking that mystery connector is for optical digital audio.  I use that on my HD receiver and I believe the connecter has that same exact shape...looks like those Dolby 7.1 rumors are atleast a possibility... Also, it would be sweet if the component video cable I currently own for the GC would plug right in to Revolution.  Doesn't sound so strange when you realize their composite a/v cable has been the same since the SNES...

My PS2 has TOSLINK optical digital audio out. TOSLINK is the standard for optical digital audio, and that is definitely NOT a TOSLINK connector. It's either a custom cable, or not optical digital audio.

Oh, you've discovered my grand scheme to take over the world by making everyone drive Fieros, play Nintendo and program in VB.NET...  You win the prize.

Everytime this thread dies you have to bust out our signature double post, wtf.

I'm guessing your posts correspond your regular drinking binges. Just let of the controller, set down the crack pipe, enjoy a little time away from the computer.

Double post?

Don't assume everyone has the same bad habits you do.  Though I find it amusing that you wish this thread dead then continue to post in it...  :-?

Ah the hypocracy...

Double post?

The last thread in this post is always yours, then it dies. Days latter you resurrect it, usually with some interesting news regarding nintendo, along with an opinion. Hence, the signature "lou_dias" signature double post.

You could at least keep up educated as to the status of your fiero, along with your geek hack. Myabe you could even get featured on http://www.tehshow.org/ where you could discuss the merits of revolution vs xbox 360. Yall could gesticulate  to rap music with 16 year olds infront of the camera, you would even be old enough to push back a 40 bottle of malt liquor, that alone would make their show. You of course would need a boing ball on that bottle of schlitz. Let the world know amiga is stil alive and kicking.

well, I was billed $4500 on the 9th for the transmission swap (includes parts) set to be begin next week.

I'm still waiting for the 4 new bearings (5x4.75" formerly 5x100mm), front susp crossmember, tubular A-arms, 4 Wilwood multi-piston calipers, 4 12" rotors, pads and rear bump-steer correction kit to be delivered to the same place.  I will have to pay extra labor for that installation.

I shipped my 4 Chrome wheels last week.  My Falken 512's 255/60/16ZR tires have already arrived there.

Does that please you?

With all the time effort and money you spent with that fiero, you could have learned c and got a job making enough money to buy a new car.

[Louis Dias]

I worked part-time at an auto-auction lot in 2003 between IT jobs and have driven every car between 1980 (and some older ones) and 2003 ever sold in America.

I like Fieros.  I do like the look of C5 Vettes but the car is too big for it's own good.  For 1/2 the investment I can have a Fiero looking as good (although different) and be just as fast and handle better.

While my frame is 20 years old...none of the major components will be.  The transmission is coming from a 2006 Pontiac G6, for instance.

Besides, upgrading cars is more rewarding than upgrading PCs.

Maybe, but the depreciation sucks even more.

As for the American love of huge cars. Pass me the O2 whilst there is still some left!  :admonish:

[Louis Dias]

The Fiero is a 2 seater.  Also, it's value's actually been going up.  But besides that, I'll be taking it to the insurance appraiser.  This is a must when you do as many "upgrades" as I am doing.

Depreciation's only a concern with "new" cars.  When I buy a Fiero, I don't care what it's worth now or in 5 years.  It is only going to matter if it's stolen or in an accident.

Tell me it runs on Fuel Cells and I'll be happy.  :lol:
Tell me you've got OS4 running on that damn Cube and I'll be happier still. :roflmao:
