Yep. If I ever go with ecutek, I'll definitely be paying extra for the e85 tune.

It's nice knowing that if for some reason, I did get stuck somewhere without e85 (I likely wont as I probably wont be driving my car that far out of austin anyways), that I could just flash the 91/93 map and be perfectly fine.

Wheel stud is back on ($2.69 from Auto Zone) and bought some ghetto acorn nuts (4 pack for $15). Wanted to get it back on as fast as possible to prevent damage.

Maybe I'll get to the body kit tomorrow....

If I don't figure out why my Whiteline LCA's are clunking I'm gonna go crazy.

Flex Fuel is worth it since we do not have many e85 stations.

We could have appetizers and beer right after work at like 6 for those that want to hang out and then some fun looking at mods / listening to audio after that at 7 or so for those that aren't interested in happy hour (or live further out and don't want to brave traffic)... Nothing definite yet just throwing out ideas...
I may be able to go (was interested in the Audio). My gf is flying in Tuesday, so it's, as usual, always up to her what we do.

I haven't see anyone talking about retrofits here, but I'm a huge fan of retrofits and did a full DIY. I ended up getting the winjets for about $250 due to an error on carid's website. The retrofit was about $330.

Check it out here. let me know if you have any feedback.the diy is a bit raw

I have some feedback... you're outta your damn mind if you think I'm going to do that!

Great job. You're one of the first to actually take those apart. I have the Spec D's coming in soon... hope they meet my expectations.

By chance does anyone have a fender roller or know someone with the ability to roll fenders? Need to roll the fenders on my buddies sti and it's be nice to know because mine will need to be rolled in a couple of months as well.

It's so much easier than it looks, man. It really isn't hard at all. Have you considered taking your stock apart and painting them?

I haven't. Probably going to just sell them outright to help pay for the Spec D's.

I ran over something on the freeway and destroyed two of my brushed silver RPF-1s in 17x7. Good news is I still have two perfectly good RPF-1s in 17x7 if anyone wants to buy a cheap spare. My loss is your gain and all that lol.

Matt, I had a wheel stud break off in my hand as well. What is it with people overtorquing lug nuts in Austin? Shit will stay on when you torque it to factory specs...you don't have to Hulk out on it.

Got C'thulhu back today. In 1000 miles I'll be swapping the transmission oil, so I'll be headed to DIY for that. I'll post about it again when I get closer to that point.
