Nice. I know many peeps over there as well, I wonder if we know some of the same crowd. Turns out I thought the ECU was reset, but it looks like it wasnt. My radio presets are still present and clock was right on time. I have been reading mixed opinions about if an ECU is really necessary? It seems most people feel that on modern cars/ECU's it isnt that much beneficial.

Thoughts? If I am way off, please correct me...someone. And tell me the exact process to do this properly.

I don't thin resetting it would hurt, how did u reset it the first time, I think you have to disconnect the battery for at least 15minutes.

Let me know what price you get it at? I still think I want to get one! I am gonna hold off on the cusco front/real strut tower bars because Grimspeed just announced the development their front strut tower bar.

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33233

I figure TRD intake might be my next purchase. But I have my eye on some cool XXR 527 rims in matte bronze but they still backordered...

I just got the weathertech floor liners. OMG they are so awesome! Going to jay soon for my tint...

But damn the supercharger is looking mighty tasty!

There is just so much to do and buy on these cars..

So the install on my vortech supercharger is taking way longer than expected, wasted a good hour or two just trying to drill into the metal in the car for the intercooler bracket with no luck. I'm gonna have to go back at it in the morning.

Most threads I've seen say it takes about 12 hours the first time they install one.


Bah, intake is on back order >.<
