I already have all this stuff. OFT is fine for now. It's not very user friendly but the end user can still edit tunes so thats good. Been too busy to really get into it yet.

I've found OFT to be pretty user friendly. So issues or complaints here. I'll probably get it tuned one of these days.

I've been so busy I haven't been able to play with it at all. Do you use romraider?

I didn't realize that all you need to run e85 is.... e85 lol


I might have to give it a shot. I saw the tutorial. I'll have to give it another look if/when I decide to go for it. Was it pretty night and day when you went for it? Did everything work out in the tune the way it should have?

Hey JD, does Russ Wiles still run your events?

Last time I was out there for an Autocross was in the late 1980's. DP

Sometimes he's out there with his son Brian. Not sure if he will be at the next event or not. They do more track days and SCCA events in Lincoln, NE

I can't compare it to much other than the proving grounds course, but it blew that out of the water. It was a blast.

What event are you doing at dctc? DCTC is a great facility, but does have its issues. There ussually is a bunch of dirt and rocks that get drug up at the apex on tighter turns. There are some bumpy areas depending on your line, and there is almost 0 run off room.

DCTC is a rough course. Lots of fun though.

Hi Nate, nice to meet you on Sunday. Looks like you figured out the pin turn fiasco better than we could. I could not get the power down after the slalom / sweeper on the hill. The driving aids were flashing on and off even in full sport mode? Looking forward to the Winona event on the 16th.

JD we will miss your two day event as it conflicts with Winona Met Council AutoX. We may be running the PDX at DCTC in October. I need to look at the brakes, etc before then. DP

Press and hold traction control until both lights show up.

That works much better.

Better yet would be pedal dance mode. You'll have to look that one up.
