Philadelphia's Classiest Drunkards
i had to keep way back from you cause i was getting light head from the smoke coming from your car. and because i couldn't even see the track driving behind you. you must be getting 1 mpg running that rich.
What a weekend. Had a great time, but that weather sucked!
That was hilarious watching you guys run the skidpad today. I sucked at that thing.
I got some pretty good vid but it's all upside down again. Didn't think it would have mattered where the camera was. I'm 0 for 2 now.

That was a Tacoma and it was fast 
great time this weekend. Saturday was wet as slick as hell but it really forced you to slow down and find grip, which paid dividends once the track dried up. I can't wait to watch those vids with sound, I can only imagine the commentary.

You sure he wasn't trying to drive into the back of that tacoma and get an upgrade?
Can't watch the vids at work, but was the tacoma a dark green and turbo charged? I know a guy in the DC area that has one that is pretty quick. He had evo wheels on it at one point. Not sure if he tracks it though.

watched the full first vid of you chasing me. My car seems to be smoking more than usual. I thought it was the valve stem seals originally, but RT replaced all those so its gotta be the rings. Aint no way I'm opening up the motor to re-ring it, so I'll just keep running it till it pops, lol.
Im still have a wicked rich condition between shifts and on decel. I wonder how much of that smoke is from unburnt fuel... it seems like the injectors aren't shutting off like they should. not sure if its a ROM/tune issue or if its injector related.

Running that rich can lead to ring problems. The fuel washes the cylinder walls of oil, and eventually the rings wear and start to leak. Somewhat rich is safe, but too rich is also not a good thing.
If you are getting a rich afr on decel, then there's definitely a problem in the ROM or a leaking injector. The injectors should shut off completely and you should read 21% O2 on the wideband.

yeah, it reads 20.9% o2 at lift off except if the RPM is really high, like 6k or above, and I coast down... then it will read like 9-10:1 a/f. I was going to flash my old V5 rom back in and see if that made any difference. Do you know if its OK to just flash the V5 back into the ECU over the V7? I seem to recall doing that once before and the car wouldn't start...
