j/k i will see what i can do to make it up there if everyone meets up again.
...understandable...we'll just go to Strats so you can win money again from the 135i guy...lets pick a different spot each time to keep things interesting and give enough time to permit me to get a sitter cause I would have stood out with you and Mirz... If you tell me in advance maybe I can make it out by you to see your scenary out in IN.

P.S. maybe the chipped 135i could take me but the LET pulley and Tune you have puts you in a different category...

See you all on the 30th

Tell me about it! I went to Woodfield area 3 times between Fri-Sat and already at half tank...so 6 round trips from Elgin IL. I need the L.E.T intake to help keep more feul in my tank...

Hurry up L.E.T!


I seriously don't see how people get 25mpg on average on a C32...I get 22.5mpg with highway use but 14-17mpg on street use. I drive very conservative compared to some and try not to gun it to 2500rpm to keep the SC from activating....I wonder if the Sprintbooster lowers the activation rpm for the SC..

Quote: Sorry Redfarsi for the confusion I remember replying to a post saying if anyone had a OBDI scanner so I thought it was you cause of what you were telling me Sorry. As for the seat well the lovely waitresses were putting up a new bench when we got there so no worries on the seats. The biggest concern I had is the entertainment of my 2 kids who were dying to eat and even more to leave. Thanks for showing and doing that trick with my key I like it just have to get used to it.




Since you guys had to do this while I was in Florida (roasting RED BULL!!!!), what is the trick?? I just gotta see this one. Jerry has a few too!!

urgently need help from the local ...
I'm just wondering if anyone in town have a spare set of stock spring, I don't really care about the mileage on them as long as they are still usable.

Let me know how much you want for the spring only.

Thanks

You press unlock with the key and only the drivers door opens. To open all doors pres unlock twice. I read it/heard it somewhere the other day so I tried it on my car and it worked so I sorta spread the word. I think other people probably know about it too it's nothing big.
