The turn out was awesome. I wish I had a chance to say hi to more people before everyone left. Got a chance to get behind the laptop and do some tuning!

Happy to give it a try. It might need a once-over of checking all the sensors and vacuum leaks. Once it can finally idle at the proper AFR we can get the rest of the tune done. I want to get a really good tune on pump before switching to e85. Also when you get those injectors, see if you can get a scaling for them. They arent in the AEM software originally.

I need a good electronic boost solenoid, and suggestions? I want something thats plug and play.
I am not on e85 yet but closest place to me is in Middletown at the Meijer store. Go to this site and search for the nearest station for you http://e85vehicles.com/e85-stations.html later, Curt

1010ths Events are usually a great time. You're up against mostly Corvettes, and it makes for a pretty good challenge. I was stock in the novice group there a few times, and had a bunch of fun catching up to the 'Vettes in the twisties and then watching them shoot away on the straights. More power required!

i doubt there'd be much of a turnout for an HPDE but who knows. And I'm not proud of how my car performs right now, but, I'm just dying to drive so Azenis and some ****ty coilovers will have to do for this year.

But I'm gonna see if I can make it home for this event. I was hoping to find one the following weekend, but if this is it, then so be it.

I would really like to get this crew out on track, as it is the most fun you will ever have.

This is true. No offense to any heavy autocrossers here, but I just could never really get into it. For me, road courses are where it's at.

Of course, they're more expensive...

Yeah that would be fun. The only track I've been to was kilkare and It was once with my old STi. It was fun, I just dont know why I haven't gone back. Probably because the X's clutch and the master cylinder sucks ***** and they'd probably break.

I am sure the X has the same restrictor in the slave as the 8s and 9s. Simply removing it will make a huge difference in how well your clutch lasts.
