I had the worst week ever last week, I think I worked around 80 hours. However, I got to use the same tuning tools that many OEM's use since I was doing some tuning for an OEM company. They even sent someone to act as a security guard for the laptop and software from china to watch my every move lol. Sadly this application is really getting the "stoich tune" because it will not pass emissions any other way. It will take some luck but I think I should have it finished this week..

BTW E85 season is amongst us now, especially the way gas prices are. 2.80 at lehigh service plaza actually makes it cost effective without performance benefits taken into consideration..

i don't mind the new STI. it definitely has a softer appearance from the previous sedans. they look like fit and finish are so much nicer than the evo.

the new wrx sedan looks really good IMO and is a major improvement on previous generations.

I look a lot older than I am, but most times I feel as old as I look if that makes sense. I really need to get motivated and get my *** back in the gym. Sitting at a desk for 8-12 hours a day isn't good for anything.

just thought i'd put it out there for those who don't know about that place.

when people have a positive experience they tell 5 people and when they have a negative experience they tell 15.

happy monday on a positive note.
good to know. I need to order up some Diaqueen and misc stuff, I'll give them a shot.

Pete, I dunno if you're following that high idle thread still, but I used some different settings in one of my tables and so far they seem to work... time will tell.

sometimes randomly sitting as a light my idle goes up to 2k rpm. I have to blip the throttle and it goes back down.

same thing was happening to me a few year ago. check that your throttle cable isn't sticking.

Gas prices are getting ridiculous, and they expect it to get even higher. I'm going to avoid driving my car as much as I can. Have started taking the train last week.
