Current mood: confused Category: Religion and Philosophy I've been pondering the question "Are you saved" and wondering (and asking God) why I have such an emotional reaction to it. I almost cringe every time I hear it. It's not because I question my salvation, it's the question itself. That question, thought usually well intentioned has, through it's unfortunate misuse, begun to carry and egotistic, holier than thou, religious/legalistic elitist connotation. I asked God why I feel this way, and I feel that he answered very clear "You feel uncomfortable asking this question or hearing it, because for you it's the wrong question." It was pressed on my heart that the question I should be asking is something like" "Have you fully accepted , and/or are you living/walking fully in your salvation?" Why? Because in my understanding of the Word of God Christ gave his life on the cross for all of humanity. However, the KEY to that salvation is the individual believing that Christ is the risen Son of God, accepting that truth in your heart and confessing it with your mouth. Many times I hear the answer to "Are you saved" it is a negative one or plainly "I don't know", so, how is asking the vaguely worded question going to help a person recognize that either indeed they may have taken the first step by believing and accepting Christ they just need to make the outward confession, or maybe they don't even understand how to become saved. So they give a quickly uttered negative answer and feel guilty or discouraged because the question in itself implies a degree of condescendence as if everyone knows how to get saved….haven't you read your Bible??!! If our purpose as Christians is to be fishers of men, shouldn't we be asking a more welcoming question that brings about curiosity instead of condemnation? We should want to welcome our family back home, not give the aura of an elite group "by invitation only". And how do we reach out to those of our brothers and sisters who are saved but may have back-slidden. If we ask them simply "are you saved" they squeak by with a yes answer, but never take the time to self examine and recognize (maybe even thorough our question) that our gracious Father is calling them back home. Asking someone if they are living in their salvation allows them to look at their life, take stock, and then be honest. Is this wrong thinking? Have I missed the mark in my interpretation of scripture? I'm not on a crusade to change the way we ask others if they know Christ, maybe the change is just to benefit those that the Father wants to reach through me. I just want to make sure I am coming from a correct Biblical truth, not leading someone (or myself) in the wrong direction. 11:12 AM - 1 Comments - 2 Kudos - Add Comment November 1, 2007 - Thursday DSM Article Category: Automotive The "base" for the relations between Chrysler and Mitsubishi began in 1970 when Chrysler agreed to import and distribute cars manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors Corporation under the Plymouth and Dodge brand names. This was to be the foundation for the Diamond Star Motor division. The mid eighties proved to be troublesome times for the Chrysler Corporation. Sales slumped significantly. Consumers were simply not spending the money on new cars as they had done in the past. One thing was for certain, Chrysler needed an answer and needed one fast. On the other hand, Mitsubishi had its own troubles. They were looking to sell more cars in the U.S. without violating the voluntary import-quota system. This meant that they would need to construct a plant in the United States. Mitsubishi came to Chrysler's rescue in 1985, forming Diamond Star Motors. The Diamond Star Motors Division was created out of necessity for each side. Each company believed they would benefit greatly. Chrysler sought to replace its front wheel drive Laser, which was cancelled in 1986, with a sports car. Mitsubishi looked to increase their foreign sales. Since, each company's budget was tight both agreed to pool engineering and design resources to make their new car a reality. Originally, the Laser coupe, which was test named the X2S, was to carry a 2.6L V6 as its top motor choice. This prototype engine was from the Starion/Conquest. Turbocharging was to be an option as well. As you know, the turbocharged inline four was chosen. (note: DSM cars produced from 1990-1994 are known as First Generation (1G), DSM cars produced from 1995-1999 are known as Second Generation (2G). Obviously, the next step was to select the location for the DSM manufacturing facility. Many locations were researched. With the data complied, Bloomington-Normal, Illinois was selected for its "prime location, enviable quality of life, and a community spirit second to none." Construction began immediately. With its completion, the Diamond Star Motors plant could produce up to 240,000 vehicles per year. The plant was to produce the Eagle Talon, Mitsubishi Eclipse, Plymouth Laser, Mitsubishi 3000GT, Dodge Stealth, and the Mitsubishi Galant. At the time of its construction, the plant was was and still is one of the most technologically complex car manufacturing centers in the world. The manufacturing process is so flexible that it is able to produce up to six different models on a single line. 600 industrial robots are used to achieve 90% automation in the welding and 20% automation in the final assembly line. See Production Numbers Here. Quick Facts about MMMA Site Area 2.57 million sq. m. Floor Space 190,000 sq. m. Capacity 240,000 units per year (2 shifts) The credit for the design of the cars is still debated today. Both companies claim credit for different design areas. It is a fact that the DSM line is based on a shortened version of the front wheel drive Mitsubishi Galant. Incorporated into the Diamond Star Motor cars are Galant engines, gearboxes, and suspension pieces. Mitsubishi handled virtually all of the engineering and was also responsible for the cars' interior design. It is hard to say for certain who created the sporty design of the 2+2 seater. Designers from both Chrysler and Mitsubishi were involved in all phases of the styling process, but the two companies disagree about the amount each contributed. It has been pointed out that the original, full-size clay model was produced by Chrysler's West Coast Pacifica design studio. The front bumper and air dam were created from a model submitted by Mitsubishi's California design firm. Nevertheless, all three cars are mechanically identical. The famous All Wheel Drive Viscous Coupling System was not incorporated until late Spring. The partners agreed that it would be more beneficial to the company not to rush an advanced system of this nature into a new car assembly plant. ABS would also be introduced with the AWD systems. The first AWD cars were to be released under Chrysler's Eagle division Production began in August of 1989*. There were four models to choose from. There was the base model (SOHC 1.8L, 4G37)*, the 2.0L engine (4G63)*, the turbocharged 2.0L (4G63T), as well as the awesome turbocharged, All Wheel Drive model. Sales rose drastically. The naturally aspirated 2.0(4G63) and 1.8(4G37) liter engines were built by Mitsubishi. At the time of its production, the Laser, Eclipse, and Talon were some of the fastest four cylinders on the planet. Aftermarket parts for the trio began to make their appearance, which heavily increased the performance of the cars -- giving Mustangs, Camaros, and even Corvettes a run for their money. Manufacturing increased yearly. The demand for the cars was so great production could hardly keep up. Originally, the AWD Talon was to be the only Eagle car produced. Later, a front wheel drive model was added. In 1991, Chrysler sold its equity of the plant in Normal, IL to Mitsubishi. This may, or may not account for the slight redesign of the cars for the 1992 year. The pop up head lights were removed and replaced with a more ergonomic design. The body of the car received some slight modifications. 1992 also marked the appearance of the AWD Plymouth Laser. Side Panels were smoothed out to give the car a more aerodynamic look and feel. The interior received subtle modifications as well. New styling options were available, with new colors for the cloth surfaces. Mechanical changes were subtle as well. In May of 1992, the six bolt motor was replaced with a seven bolt design. The engine rods were a bit smaller than those of the pre May of 92 cars. The three bolt rear end was swapped for a stronger four bolt."Don't fix it if it ain't broke, right?" By 1993, the public was well aware of the DSM's presence. As C. Van Tune of Car Craft Magazine wrote:** "As a non-turbocharged front-driver, the Diamond Star is nice. As a turbocharged front-driver, it's fast. As a turbocharged all-wheel-driver, it's spectacular. No two-wheel-drive vehicle on earth can launch as hard as an AWD of comparable power, and the Diamond Star is among the hardest launching AWD vehicles around. Rev it to seven grand, drop the clutch, and all four wheels claw the pavement with a violence usually reserved for Wes Craven movies. In an across-the-intersection face-off, only a superbike, Syclone, or seriously-built street machine stands a chance against an AWD Diamond Star. The Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX tested this time wasn't the quickest in quarter-mile, but it was quicker than any other car - including the Corvette, RX7, and 300ZX - to 30 mph. And it'll achieve a 142mph terminal velocity that will let you hunt down, and pass Mustang Cobras." If that isn't enough to pump up all of you DSM owners, I don't know what will. It may be interesting to note that the cars listed below were also released nearly the same time as the 1993 DSM's. Camaro IROC Z 15.7 @ 91 Daytona Shelby Z 16.2 @ 86 Mustang LX 15.1 @ 94 Probe GT 16.2 @ 86 Trans Am GTA 15.9 @ 90 Thunderbird SC 15.3 @ 93 Eagle Talon TSi AWD 14.8 @ 91 -Information Provided by Car Craft 1993 The end of 1994 brought yet another change for the DSM company. The Plymouth Laser was dropped from production due to its lack of appeal that its other siblings offered. For the 1995 lineup, a new, more aggressive, comfortable, and luxurious design was chosen to replace the older Talon and Eclipse models. The design was smoothed out and given an aerodynamic feel. The ride was lowered 2 inches and given a wider, longer stance. As far as the mechanical aspects are concerned, the new design featured slightly altered variation of the 2.0L turbocharged engine with an additional 15hp. The new engine included higher compression, a smaller (T-25) garret turbo, upgraded "non-ticking" lifters, as well as a host of other improvements. The 420a was used as the non-turbo engine. This particular motor was chosen to satisfy Mitsubishi's domestic content clause. The U.S. Government reportedly did not allow the 420A to be used as domestic content due to the fact that the engine is built in Mexico. Chrysler does get to claim it as being domestic.* Many argue which car is the greatest of the DSM family. In my opinion, the 2G is still top dog due to its cheap upgradeability and great looks. Others disagree. Diamond Star Motors owners have long called for a convertible. The Mitsubishi Spyder was first introduced in 1996 and has been a success ever since. While a bit slower than its hard top predecessor, it is still the great bang for the buck vehicle. The Spyder was a bit heftier than the other front wheel drive vehicles. This is no doubt due to the extra 155 pounds of structural enhancements incorporated into the spyder -- which include hydraulic motor mounts, stiffer side panels, and a reinforced windshield mount among others. With a base engine of a 2.4L SOHC, or the speedy 2.0L turbo, you can rev the engine up to 7000 rpm and dump the clutch and the spyder will burn the tires all the way to redline. While not the fastest of the bunch, the lack of speed is easily made up with the image the car perceives. In late 1996, reports were issued that Chrysler would not renew its contract with Mitsubishi after it expired in 1999. As you know, this has become a reality. I was disheartened to hear this news, as I am sure every other DSM owner was. Chrysler will continue to retain relations with Mitsubishi, but only a parts-exchange basis. The companies will proceed to exchange research information as well, but will probably never make a complete unit again. 1997 also brought minor changes to the each car's appearance. Including a raised spoiler on each car and improved aerodynamics. Recently, Chrysler purchased back 40% of the Mitsubishi stock. What does this mean? I'm not quite for sure. Some indicate that the DSM may make another apperance. Wouldn't that be nice? 1998 marked the end of the Eagle Talon. The Talon was dropped due to lagging sales. Chrysler feared it was too late to increase sales with a new model. Some evidence of the Talon being dropped would appear in the form of "advertisements" of the 1997 model year in which no national advertisements were run for the Talon. There were some local ads that appeared from various dealers, but that was it. As a Talon owner, I hope that there is a possibility for the Talon to return. 1999 was the last year for the second generation Eclipse. Although a 2000 Eclipse model was released, I do not consider it to be a member of the DSM family due to the fact that it doesn't contain the 2.0L turbocharged monster that made the Eclipse/Laser/Talon the car that it is. In addition, the low price tag allowed all of us blue-collar citizens to become a sports car owner. It is still heavily debated whether or not to include the new Eclipse as a third generation, but you decide for yourself. Quotes "All Wheel Drive transforms the Eclipse (and its Eagle Twin ) from a likeable sports coupe with lots of competition to an absolutely loveable sports coupe with no competition." -Road and Track "In our August 1982 issue, we compared the hottest available versions of the Mustang, the Camaro, and the Firebird with a Porsche 928. Naturally, the 928 - which cost nearly $44,000 - soundly trounced the domestics. The new Diamond Star cars - at $15,500 or so - can handily outrun that Porsche." -Csaba Csere "On the road, the Diamond Stars are just that; stars, Very Fast stars. And stars that you can afford." -Arthur St. Antoine "No matter what label the Diamond Star car wears, it sets a new standard among sport coupes." -Impressions, Winter 1989 ***Mitsubishi got the Eclipse name from an 18th Century English racehorse that won 26 races. **I would like to thank Johm Moore at se.dsm.org for his information. *Information supplied by Bill of http://www.dsetuning.com/ *Thanks to all for motivating me to correct this website!

Current mood: accomplished Well as some of you know I have been trying to get my car running and it's been almost a year since the motor blew. Well I saved up and got a motor built from Millenium Motorsport. The car now has JE pistons, Eagle Rods, HKS 272 cams, Ported head, Crower springs and retainers, 1mm oversized SS valves, Bronze guides. And some othere misc. stuff. The car is running nice and smooth and actually has gotten to the 150 mile mark. After break in I plan to swap to a GT30R. Hopefully in the next few weeks I can get my new intake mani setup in and my FMIC. We shall see. Well for those of you who helped me get t this point and supported me (through all the headaches and I want to sell this CAR, etc, etc!!) .. And thank you wifey for makin it happin!!   Well later guys!! ~Bryon Currently listening : When Your Heart Stops Beating By (+44) Release date: 14 November, 2006 11:25 PM - 2 Comments - 2 Kudos - Add Comment July 14, 2006 - Friday Mig's 30th B-Day Bash!!!!

Current mood: bored To whoever wrote this I give you mad props this is so true... Imagine there is a Bank that credits your account every morning with $86,400. However, it carries over no balance from day to day and every night the bank deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out every cent, of course! Each of us has such a bank. Its name is TIME. Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries over no balance and it allows no overdraft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day. If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. There is no going back. There is no drawing against the "tomorrow." You must live in the present solely on today's deposits. So invest it wisely each day to get from it the utmost in health, happiness, and success! The clock is running. Make the most of today. To realise the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed the HSC. To realise the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby. To realise the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper. To realise the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet. To realise the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who missed the train. To realise the value of ONE-SECOND, ask a person who just avoided an accident. To realise the value of ONE MILLISECOND, ask the person who won a medal in the Olympics. Treasure every moment that you have! And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time. And remember that TIME waits for no one. 12:26 AM - 0 Comments - 0 Kudos - Add Comment June 14, 2006 - Wednesday Went toDog beach today!!!
