So I remember at our last meet someone asking if f anyone has had to get a new fuel pump, but I was in another conversation and didn't catch it all. Has anyone had to get one?
The reason I ask is because I just got back from the dealership and guess what I'm getting Last edited by Rutter; 06-27-2013 at 07:29 PM. |

They flashed my ECU with new programing (not fuel pump related) a few days later, if they offer to do it at the same time don't do it. The Flash messed with throttle linearity (is that a word?) I'm tempted to have them flash it back, but I know I'll be doing Perrin's ECUtech sooner or later.

Lenore took a rock to the hood and windshield today. Could be the loudest noise I've ever heard from inside a car. I thought I'd been shot! Hood can be repaired, windshield... not so much. I have pics, but can't post them at the moment.
I turned around and found the rock. Nasty, nasty big f'n rock.

I have had sizeable rocks hit the windshield before and I totally know what you mean about sounding like someone shot you. I have also had a pair of kids throw a rock at my RSX that I had about 7+ years ago. Hopefully Lenore gets repaired quickly. |

I've been thinking about getting this ECU/TechStream kit for some light modding - does anyone have experience with this? |

Yup, that's the culprit. I have been taunting it and calling it names all day. If anyone know a good punishment for this nasty chunk of limestone, I'm all ears. Does anyone have an industrial press that I could crush it slowly (very slowly, this rock must suffer). I would keep it's powdered remains as a lesson to other rocks and stones who think that they can get away with smashing into windshields. I kinda like pretending I have a gun sight in my windshield. I need a "LAUNCH MISSLE" button on my steering wheel. I don't think Apple Autoglass can fill this. jk It's hard to tell in the picture, but that crack ring is about 6 inches across.

I think that's exactly what I said when I got my hearing back.

Looks like rain tomorrow, so Sunday is a go for cruise. I'm still trying to figure out a route with minimal LEO interference. Will post asap.
