Which meet? The meet last month was cancelled... good thing cause it snowed that night. The scca open track was really fun, but I only saw jinx there. Are you guys meeting up for the next fallon drags? I won't be making it.

+1. You can get a lot more life out of your clutch with this little $30 purchase.

I'd be tempted, but due to my price crunch im going with GSC S1's. If for some reason, with shipping, the GSC ends up being more than ill snap these up.

I believe its steel braided, so it won't flex or wear out giving you better clutch feel. Not 100% sure how it can lead to a longer clutch life, but I believe it has to do with a smoother fluid flow due to the less flexing of the line.

Does anyone know where I can get an alarm done TOMORROW or SATURDAY? It needs to be done this weekend. The Best Buy on Virgina isn't going to be able to do it until the weekend I leave for GA. I'm calling the Best Buy in Spanish Springs tomorrow when they open to see if they can do it, but are there any other reputable shops here in Reno that can do it? I know theres a audio shop right off of Virgina near where I live (not sure of the name) but thats the only shop I know.

After attempting to tinker with ECU based boost control, I've switched to mbc and I like it better.
do you know where here in reno or nearby i can have someone tune the boost via ecu?

You can go to Modified Auto Salon. One of the guys there does awesome road tunes and they should be able to take care of you.

GST in the bay area does a lot of the ecu-boost tuning, so they'd be your best bet. And I'm sure Modified locally could help you out too. If you have a laptop and some sleepless nights, there are a ton of info on the subject here on evom in the ecuflash section. You might also want to PM razorlabs (Bryan from GST) to get some ideas on what you can do to get your car running proper.
