Deal?
I think it should be like golf. When someone hits a hole-in-one, they buy a round for everyone in the bar. I think if a stock NA guy beats someone on the AP w/ mods, the NA guys should buy.
Also, the AP helps, but it's not a fix-all, end-all mod. There are still the small issue of plugs/wires/coils. (Remember the last dyno day?)
I'm prepared this time. By the Saturday, my new plugs/wires/coils will only have about 200 miles on them. I better not come in lower than an NA guy

On the subject of getting the AP to connect to the car w/ a RB Flash, I sent MM an email.
I told him I tried to run the update, but I got an error message.
He said to try and connect it to the car anyways, maybe the update took, though I saw an error on the screen.
Will, I'm guessing it worked, because it connected just fine to the car.
I was able to flash, and run around looking at live data.
Now I'm using the Harrison OBDScan tool to log some info and get it to him before Saturday so he can make adjustments to the maps before then.

BTW - Does anyone else feel like they did as a kid when they knew they would be going to Disneyland on the weekend?

Maybe it's just me since I have the AP and new stuff on my car.

I only drink whisky, if I beat any of you, give me an XO, a blue label(gold label will do) or just shitloads of vodka

You are not old enough to drink - It's a coke only!

I feel like a kid waiting on Christmas morning because I already know what's in one of the boxes...

2 spots have opened up for the DynoDay, here's the game plan.

PM's have been sent to blueknight and imrtommy. If they can fill the spots, GREAT, if not then the slots will remain OPEN and we'll go with only 18 cars that day. (in other words, we are not taking any more names)
this should free up some time for Jeff.

Razz,

Your inbox is full. I'll be attending the BBQ and no guest. Do I need to bring anything?

If it was anyone, it would be you... missing the last gazillion meets that you said you're going to be at...
WE MISS YOU!

So that means you better show up this time!

Oh, I forgot to call you but they're doing oil changes for $24.99 at Neptune Speed.

Gregs: got your PM. I'm waiting on an answer from imrtommy.
I'll let you know tomorrow if the spot is still available. Did you get your license situation taken care of?

was in a meeting all day at headquarters. I would have called you yesterday but I was at the Firing Range after work shooting all kinds of toys. Ask Ray, he heard the gunshots in the background.
I'm going to try and get in there at some point on Friday
