I thought it was the TCS OFF light.

More pics for you Rob.

Overview





Samco Installation time





Nice package (ing) you have there





Late night fuel




Nice wheels




So I promise to bring the camera and get some more videos of the car this Tuesday. Let's try and get there early so we can hop on the freeway and just get it done in the daylight. I know there are a few more vids of the kit floating around now ... but I think we need some nice in action vids.

Make sure to get some nice WoT drivebys and under the hood videos. I think the main thing I'm (we're?) interested in is seeing/hearing the car from the outside now. Mia has already posted some great interior vids from as far back as the ones in the turbonetics car.

Thanks guys, and as always, I'm looking forward to seeing them!

That's the plan.

I have pretty much concluded that there is no way to get some good in-car video ... so outside shots ... flybys and a few drive-along-side videos are definitely in order.

I will try and get the size of the vids down this time .. look for about 1mb/sec vs the 2+ before .. I still should be able to keep the quality up too.

Nice to see an outside vid of the car! It really hauls *** for such a short amount of space. I'm at work so I can't crank it up and hear it. I'll try again from home later.

Yeah .. he was haulin' **** on those ... kinda scared me on the first one since there is a driveway right be where he turned around

I have a nice road that we will go to tomorrow where he can do that without any issues (read : being in a parking lot) We should be able to get a few runs and flybys and behind the car and chase vids from 0-80 or so ... I think that will be perfect

you shouldn't ... it plays in divx, winamp, wmp10 ...well, every program I have on my computer.

I don't know ... go to microsoft and get the latest windows media player.... as far as I know though there is no special codec for these files

Yeah, restarted my comp and all was well. However the file named "mianetics" is still all sound file.

The mianetics file is just an avi it should play on any player. I didn't have to download any codecs to play it in Windows Media Player...

Hey MIA,
I had a question about the reflash....Does T-netics take into account that we have 93 Octane gas out here? I'd like to think that my car is tuned to take advantage of this.

Nice video. I imagine the SES light has to do with Mossy Performance? I know they wouldn't get you to put a vinyl on that is that large just for a short shifter.
