Got hungry and decided to stop for the night. Making that merge is a royal pain.

still mulling over if i should try my luck at tuning the emu, or just get an access port. how hard is it to get tunes from MM now? kinda uncertain since i have seen he was banned.

i plan to just run 5-6 psi,nothing wild.

Hey guys, I need some advice on how to clean spark plugs, or what I should use to clean them with. In the past I have alway got new one. This is for my daily driver which is my Hyundai scoupe Turbo that is burning oil with 122,000 miles. I drive about one mile down the street.

Here is the why I want to clean them. Every year I need to change them, as the get very oil like and I have a hard time starting. Five mouth ago a change them and last month I had to change again, two week later It started to do it again, I figurer out the it was spark plug #2. I clean it and the car is running fine now. I clean it with a wire brush and wd40. So I just want to clean then the right way if I have to do it again.

Get a Cobb...and either get MM to tune it..orlearn how yourself. The EMU is a horrid way to tune this car

My wife and I test drove the 2010 porsche Cayenne GTS and a Range Rover Sport Supercharged again. We cant decide between the two. We both have sports cars so a luxury SUV (range rover) seems to be the logical choice but the GTS was surprisingly more comfortable and drives like my rx8. What would you guys pick? I have till summer to decide :-)

Both require deep pockets when they are out of warranty.....

The Porshe handles better...but really what's the point? They barely hold more gear than a car

Get a real truck....Love my 4Runner

Thanks. Can't wait to get this finished so I can get to radiator/fmic/trimming bumper for fmic. Long as the world doesn't end next week. Cage still planned sometime beginning of the year. I pick up the chassis harness every day but not looking forward to tracing and depinning everything
