Good point Woody, I love VA. I just have to remember to hide my radar detector.

ha, funny!

Are we doing the oval at old dominion?

Adam, I think Chris' secret is that roof rack I saw on his...........roof.

How about the previous year class winners discount? Will that be made available this year?

btw,
Gas is about to hit $4. per gallon, I wonder if a Volt can pull my...

Well hello there, I've past your place a couple times going to the library. I want new springs and struts for my 7 so I'll be contacting you shortly.

James

Well, the lights brightened a very slight bit with sudden high rpm but that's all. It's like the new stuff broke in and works alright.

hhmmm, let me take wifeys car out for a drive in the snow and see whats up. I'll be back...

Had an alternator rebuilt as well and had the same effects (dimming) but corrected itself a quarter second later. Don't know if it does it anymore because I don't drive that car and haven't asked the...

Maybe you spiked the diodes in the voltage regulator and limited the avilable current control, and soon will go bad.

It seems you need to drop the percentage to 35 if you are going to 235's. Unless of course you don't care about rotation speed versus stock. Should keep it off the wheel well too.

Maybe I'll hook the 7 up with some added ponies.

For that price maybe I'll consider it for my 325. There's plenty of space under the hood.

CAI, throttle body, intake (new mas meter?), exhaust, software from Dinan = $3.5k plus install (roughly)
His 325 is still running under 200hp. Let me see if I can find a Dinan badge on e-bay,...

This could be fun. Instead of the zoo, I'll take the kid to Harford County to see bimmers painted in camo and 4" stacks behind the b-pillars just like their pickups. :icon_mrha Oh, I'm just...

I'm a licensed electrician and can help out.

Oh btw, next time go around NYC. More mile, but less hair pulling.

Good going Mike, you just bought an excellent autox car. Raise the spring rate and get a thicker sway bar up front and you're golden. Give that M3 to your son and drive the wagon. OH...

Seems like a great thing to have, especially if you're changing fluids all time time.
I think power folding side mirrors are going to stay on the top of my xmas wish list though.

Did anyone offer to rectify the situation, you'd think that was a fluke right?

Great to hear it's fixed. You know it can never go perfectly.

Mike, the program can record the throttle inputs but I'm not sure it can keep up with the fast action in the foot. It's just not that...

Good for you Mike, it's a great thing to do your own changes.

Don't know about the Peake reader but I use the Auto Enginuity software and can bring up specific sensors and watch them in real time. What's nice is I can monitor a dozen sensors at once and compare...

Still firm on that 3k Sam? Think what you could do with the freed garage space if the price was flexable. I'd even let you co-drive for free! WOW.......
Maybe we could do a fix to own deal. You...

I thought the m54 regardless of displacement had a main cooling fan connected to the water pump w/ a coupling/clutch, and an electric fan in front of the radiator for a/c and transmission.
I have an...
