Auto-x Saturday? Who's there??
I've got duty tomorrow, so I'll get relieved at 8am Saturday and head straight to the event. I just got the Kumhos turned around on the rims this afternoon, now I need to put them on the car so I don't have to worry about it Saturday morning.
There's a decent chance I'll be dragging my brother (in his '01 Eclipse GT) and a couple of friends (both with S2000s) along. We'll see...

Mitch,
Howsit feel? Immediate gratification, or gradual ECU learning? I suspect both.
Right now I'm waiting on injectors that I ordered from subydude about 3.5 weeks ago; they have been on Oahu since 16 DEC. They were delivered somewhere down near Hickam.
I'm also waiting on a fuel pump that I ordered from Bill about a month ago. I think he must've thought I was part of a group buy. When I spoke to him about a week ago, he said they were in the mail.

Oh, yeah. I'll be there this weekend.

I have yet to install the link, injectors, and pump. I'm just running the turbo right now at 12psi(I think) Sorry Richard and Wes, I couldn't resist and after 200miles, I had to up the boost.
I think once I either finish the DIY WB o2 or purchase the LINK A/F unit that comes out next month, then I'll start getting into tuning. LINK has what looks like a 60mm gauge that uses a 5V sensor(user supplied). I also have to get a bung welded on to my headers for my EGT probe.
It's funny it's not the $1000+ I paid for the LINK or the $800 on the turbo that bothers me... It's the little things like gauges, welding a bung, wiring accessories, etc that kills me. You always budget for the big ticket items, but get so narrow minded on the little things to make it all work together. Hey Pat, perhaps you can buy my DIY WB if I decide not to keep it? But I'm not sure on it just yet.

Heck, I don't think Wes' car hit 100 miles before Sean leaned into it. No worries!

uhhh, what are you talking about!?? it had 40 something miles, I think
hehe it's all fine, no hard downshifts, etc. Just straight line single gear pulls.
ya know, You have to teach the car how it is going to be driven, so it will perform at the level you want it to, ... otherwise, .... you end up with a 13 second time slip and THOUSANDS of dollars spent on performance parts!
