Brett, I plan on at least painting the enginebay again and possibly the jambs rite now. Then back on the REPU. The whole car is getting completed though before I drive it again. Going to finish it up nice and perty.
I could use a s5 ECU for a N/A car.
Ray, My fan is there. You just gotta look harder. Remember, I am a stealthy fellow.

I'll let you know about the ECU. These are ~60 y/o men who are all about 'American' cars, so when he told me that one of them looked a little newer than mine, he could be talking about a 1st gen or something

Happy Turkey Day Old Guys. I just finished cooking both a turkey and a ham at my house, with the help of Google search, and didn't really mess up anything... lol

Ray, my wheels are 15" wheels. My last set of tires were bald and the only ones we had in stock at work that i could get for free were these 225/60's
Just a temporary solution until i order some new ones.

That woman is getting a hold on your domestication. Nice sock Brett!
So I was out burning leaves this afternoon when I noticed the Silver One was looking particularly pretty, X wheels perfectly aligned, as usual:

Colin the Silver One came with the optional automatic X wheel alignment feature that you could get on the 84/85 GSLs, sometimes it's not perfect but it does a pretty good job most of the time. I had it on all my FB's:
Mike's Blue One has the feature too:

Couldn't be nearly as bad as the belts on a transverse front wheel drive vehicle. Those things should be illegal.
And yeah the OCD is a marvel of Mazda engineering.
It works on the Oscillating Compensatory Deregulation principle. If one of the X wheels starts to come out of alignment with the others, the resulting out-of-phase oscillations are picked up by the Oscillator, which sends signals to the Compensator. The Compensator processes the information and signals the wheel deregulators to bring the errant wheel back into alignment.
The OCD not only keeps your FB's X wheels looking like they just came off the lot, its continuous trimming and balancing activities maintain much truer wheel balance and can increase tread life by as much as 10%.

Good News Guys - we did not burn down the neighborhood. 
However, I under estimated how thirsty the chefs get frying a turkey. Long story short, the empty keg was thrown into my backyard by Friday morning. Michelle was so proud of us.
The neighbors, not so much. I hope to be out of detox in time for the Dec. OGTA.
