I was given this mill, the catch being it's in Toronto in my friends art gallery until I can get there to pick it up.

If you need a hand with it or a place for it to live while you make arrangements let me know. I've got a truck and a garage, and live in Toronto.
 
My dad turned 78yo the other day. He decided since he's not driving so much to "Let it go".
Took over payments on his 16 Toyota Sienna w factory tow package including transmission cooler.
He owed a bit more than book value. ::) I decided, best to throw the old dog a bone.
So, now he is payment free and we got a deluxe bike hauler w a known good maintenance history.

We borrowed it last fall for the trip down to Kileys. So, I know its completely capable of pulling problem free, plus, fits a Full size memory foam.
266hp and we got 19mpg pulling bikes to Bama and back. 25mpg without bikes.

Also, needing some advice from guys "in the know". w real hands on experience installing performance chips.

As I know NOTHING about it.

A quick search. I found this one.

The van has the 3.5 v6.

In your experience. Does this look like something that would actually work?
It says w the addition of an inline switch I can shut it off and run on the factory chip.

Is this a known quality brand or is there something else I be looking at?

I'd see what Jet has to offer for the Sienna first...

The copy writer for Innovative is full of it.
Pick two of three.
I would prefer something that's specific design for motor although I very much doubt you'll get better than stock MPG. Advancing timing to get more power can work, usually you need to throw more fuel in as well though to prevent a melt down. Toyota 3.5 V-6 isn't known for being a 'fuel friendly' motor though. it drinks a bit more than it should
 
I'd look in to what a chip does as far as warranty goes, if you still have a bit of one left.

I know a friend had warranty work refused over his diesel being chipped. Ended up costing him a boatload of money to get the turbo fixed.
 
Anytime you install something like a chip, make it easily removed before going to a dealer for warranty claims. You can usually make a plug harness to go back to stock without cutting any wires. it's worth it. if warranty is up, doesn't matter then.
 
94' YZF750R. Likely a parts bike but should run. Crazy trip to go get it.

Phase II - cassette tape transfer to .mp3.

Looks like at least a dozen, maybe as many as 20. I've done 4 already and they are far easier than albums.

Ended up doing 25 albums for now, the rest aren't worth the time.

Approaching 1,800 songs on my chip now...

I've done a bunch of these. I use the sox and lameenc tools on linux. I usually leave them as one large mp3 rather than spending the time cutting it up in Audacity.

I like to set my MP3 player to "All Random" so I don't get bored and never know what's next.

I also tend to keep each food item on my plate mostly separate, although I don't panic if the peas touch the corn or anything weird like that...
