Dude, your killing me.

 

Sounds like quite a few of you guys are running a MBC/EBC. For those of you using them, have you noticed a difference in the boost you are seeing when our temperate northwest climate goes outside the norm? Over the last two years I've seen everything from snow on the track to track temps hovering at 110-120F in Washington state (Bremerton and Packwood respectively).

I've been stuck in the land of stock boost due to an SCCA class, but hopefully I will be moving into a boost friendly class real soon. All you guys keep making me too jealous of the power your making and I finally decided I needed to join in.

 

Not with an evo personally since I just got mines tuned, but based on the nature of what turbos do and how engines work.. A car would lose more power from higher elevation due to less/thinner air and hotter air wouldn't help the case.

 

ok i will tell tj u said hi. see u at dyno challenge if u go.

 

LOL - I'm surprised I didn't get more grief on that one. $2.79 fillup today!

Weren't we having the discussion about how most of the gas comes from a single refinery anyway?

 

yeah when its Chevron, Shell, Texaco, or BP. Costco is not the same but hey its not my rods. I put the knocklight on low on your car for a reason I guees

 

Isn't Arco BP? Arco is no good. I would run Costco before I ran Arco, but that's just me.

I usually won't put anything but Cheveron or Shell in.

 

ok, im gonna order my ets licp/ebc then take some money out for a tune! co-worker bought an isF and those things are QUICK!

definately need to just bite the bullet and tune the car! its been a year anyway...

 

hehe, and I pretty much never see that light! I saw it a couple times after not driving the car for about a week; I guess it was getting grumpy not seeing meth.

Unfortunately I've had bad luck with Shell so I tend to stay away. I won't run Arco and Chevron is actually out of the way. There is a 76 that is close, but I have had scares with 76 (not sure if it was the culprit though). I'll try that for a few fillups and see how she goes.

Someone needs to seriously start carrying e85 in Monroe!!!

definitely bite the bullet so you can make your co-worker question his decision, at least power wise. He at least has you beat on the luxury side. Was the IS-F purchased new?

 

no used with 14k miles. Picked it up for 42,000. the dealer took the trade in for 40k i think he said, but it was on their lot for 210 days.

its a VERY nice car...i could care less about the luxory side. LOL

 

^me neither, but a lot of people do. Well at least he didn't pay new pricing on that som' batch cause they are expensive!
