6PM or earlier would be best since Yulia has to be up by 3am for work the next day.
Call my cell when you know for sure what time you'll be back in the 'Boro.

Well the chances of me getting out of here early are slim. I dont want to hold you guys up, so we can just skip it for now. If it continues or gets worse then maybe we can arrange to meet up.

For now I'll just stop being paranoid

Streets+Jon--- if you guys do meet up, it'll give you a better opportunity to look over the tires. Also, Brandon, the video in the thread is after an engine decarbon treatment (Zoom Cleaner) My car didn't ever smoke that much due to oil.

Brian - So I put the "Zoom Freakin' Zoom" sticker on and did the change where I just cut out the first zoom to say "Freakin' Zoom" However, I didn't notice that the bottom of the "E" didn't transfer until I was in the car... personally, I think its hilarious that it says "FRFAKIN' ZOOM" now.
Pic Attached.

Jon - Attached is the plastic ring pic that gave me hell removing my shifter. You can see where I just broke it. Sorry pics aren't better.

Hope everyone had fun at the track... perhaps I'll be out there when I get my big raise when someone fixes the economy.

Steve, lol @ the E "F", hahah. that's great.

For anybody that cares.... I'm too lazy to post all the pics over here so here's a link... http://www.cleveland6club.com/phpBB2...pic.php?t=1932

That's me doing the coilovers on the 8. I must say, best investment EVAR!!!

I'm still dicking with the damper adjustments/preload/camber/**** like that.... so I'll report in when I get them all figured out.

Also, keep an eye posted for a special DIY...... Jon knows what I am talking about.

Yes it truly was a good investment, including my smooshed thumb and roadtrip to chicago . Glad they worked out so well and I'm glad you like them so much, made the trip worth it. Car looks SO much better now, much much better

What can I say, I love the guy.. (and the car LOL ) for the record found probably the best deal on the gr+'s. THMotorsports has them for 1099.. if two buy a set at once, they're 1049 a set. That includes shipping fyi :]

I didn't even start yet. Once I got completely finished with the coilovers I cleaned up my mess of tools and ate dinner and went to bed.

Well... we should probably talk about this before you dig into it.
That driver board I posted is the only obstacle... but I did test the motor (outside the PCB) and it works the way you want it.

I recorded my LTFT while tuning, but they are all different from each tune.
Original (not tuned) was 7.64
1st tune: -3.28
2nd tune: -0.94
3rd tune: -2.5
