Seiko one ups them with an extra position and temp as well as a tighter tolerance. But only on their Grand Seiko automatics. The Seiko 5 cheapie movement I have is factory +45/-20 but people seem to be able to regulate them to +10 pretty frequently.

I'm happy with my ~+15 for the money.

Dayum that's not very accurate lmao.

I wonder how tourbillon watches do in terms of accuracy. Supposedly the tourbillon reduces the orientation sensitivity.

Big snow storm in Champaign-Urbana.

Let's just say a LOT of hooning went down. Lots of skitching too!

Am I the only person not on Facebook ?
Also why is it soooo important to be liked ?

In my day if someone said "please like me" or "be my friend?" they'd get beaten up

I was on facebook.

Still am, but only to get event invitations for car related stuff.

Facebook is for old people and hoes. If you're not old enough to appreciate it, you're a gardening implement.

:happy0180: Super fun. There used be a great video on YouTube of someone skitching behind an STI tearing up some snow trail in Slovakia.

They say it mostly corrects in the vertical position. So it is most functional in pocket watches. Wrist watches are almost never vertical, though.

It's funny you mentioned that. I just got an email telling me about someone named Rebecca While like my facebook status update. The problem is, I don't know anyone with that name and I don't have a facebook account. Somethings telling me I shouldn't click on the link.

I agree with your hunch.

Don't click on it. :O

I mainly use Facebook for keeping up to date on companies, youtube subscriptions, musicians, etc. Basically anything but friends lol.

95% of my facebook notifications are from the Kansas City FR-S/BR-Z community page and most of my messages are from those guys also...

alright, so i dyno'd yesterday, but the numbers were very dissapointing.

Quote:

Look what we have on the dyno today! A customer recently purchased this Scion FR-S after deciding not to weather the long wait for the Subaru BRZ. He came by wanting to see what this car would do in stock form. This session should give him a sturdy baseline to work from when committing to his plan of adding a supercharger in the mix at some point in the future. Numbers will be posted soon!

Quote:

This is the graph from the FR-S we baselined yesterday. A few mods in the future but wanted to get an idea of how it stood currently. I would like to see how much improvement can be made simply with a dyno tune. The OEM tune looks a little rough on this one, but Subaru has been kind of notorious for that over the past few years. We saw it dip down in to the 11's WOT which is a bit rich for a N.../A car especially with direct injection. Glad we finally got one on the dyno to see a baseline!

As more and more of these cars start hitting the streets in our area we will eventually invest in the ECUTek software for the BRZ/FR-S. So stay tuned and make sure to stop by if you have a new BRZ or FR-S!

so basically the car was running very rich, and on an AWD dyno, both of which caused the numbers to be lower than what theyshould have been. (they did not have the front rollers stationary, every run had them rolling as well)

so what they showed my car as being? 136.9WHP 140lb/ft

once i've gotten the idiot out of my system, going to dyno on a 2WD dyno, and it should be much better

*idiot in my system is m listening to one of my friends and putting 100 octane into the car*
