Oh no..it was not the Evo. Right now I actually have the throttle body off the Evo. In the middle of putting those new shaft seals in.

But ya, it was the "dependable Ac". We thought it was just the rotor, cuz it did seperate itself. No big. We swap out the cap and rotor. Runs beautifully.....till this morning.

This time the car was nice enough to break down right on the Taunton Ave exit off 195...right where it bends. So ya...2 days in a row AAA has brought me to work.

Sigh.....this week over yet?

Same here. They shipped with the quickness. I took the tb off on like Monday night. Took it apart at work on Tuesday. Didn't touch it yesterday. Today, oh I am putting that s.o.b back together.

Sad to think that my ~400hp car is my more dependable car

the deal is on the HPS and HP Plus. looks like the HP Plus is a more aggressive pad. HPS should be good for the street and much better than stock, no? turcos you are running these as well, correct? how do u like em?
