Sounds good, I need an exhaust though, sold my tips, ordering tonight. Wish there were local vendors so I wouldn't have to wait for shipping though

P&L is in Franklin park. They are also running a 5% discount on exhaust.

The HP doesn't make up for 4 seconds a lap - I've got enough experience to know that much. Myself and many other FRS track guys agree on that. You're looking at a 12mph speed difference at the end of the straight - that's not from stock to tuned.

A few people in cali have reported the car being down on power before the motor went. I'm hoping that's not the case.

Man, these cars are getting too common!

3 spotted today.. @CircuitJerk near P&L.

Then a firestorm east bound on Ogden in Lisle, I honked.

And a Hot Lava that turned into Benedictine university 4 blocks later.. you waved, and I waved back. Although I don't think you're on the forum because I've seen the car several times.

After talking to CSG Mike, I think there might be an issue with an injector o-ring.

Hopefully it's something as simple as that!

Those could be really pesky with old b series too. I hope it's a simple fix.
