I've got a project for you that might make some of the autobox people happy: figure out a way to take manual control over the lock-up torque converter. (IE. lock it up before the default programming would normally.)
Glad to have you here, looking forward to the new ideas and more importantly how to impliment them! One of the next things on my "list to do's" will be checking how many wires are on my o2 sensor .
Welcome to GS! I remember admiring the design of the 1st gen Stratus/Cirrus/Breeze at the LA Auto show when it came out. It seemed to be a nice "in-between" size car, bigger than a Civic but smaller than an Accord.
You're gonna have fun analyzing all the gizmos we've been messing with!
We look forward to your results -- and good to see some passion about the cause! Same for the different vehicle -- not many "Cloud Cars" around, or even V-6 automatics.
