Reflash would be lower on the list. I'm not too hot on the idea of sending out my ECU and waiting for 2 weeks. I'd rather have a piggyback.
get a run on the dyno and see where your AFRs are and go from there.
Based on the experience I had with my car in N/A state it wasn't in need of a tune. I did a technosquare reflash anyways...... basically did nothing but raise my idle slightly, get rid of speed limiter and raise redline:
I had the following:
headers
test pipes
exhaust
intake
bored throttle body
plenum
pulley

The single-stage has hardener. I've colorsanded it, but it doesn't have the depth or gloss that I want.
Earlier today I sanded the hood smooth, getting any orange peel out, etc, and sprayed two coats of clear. Turned out great. Just did the hood to test it out and see if there would be any problems adhering to the single-stage. All's good.
about to test on a small plastic piece I painted to see if my blue-tinted clear coat will work and look good over a black base. I think it might turn out different than I have envisioned in my head. I'd like it to appear black, but when the sun hits it to shine a little blue. Am I thinking right? Or am I just stupid?

About the blue tinted clear, wouldn't that technically be considered a candy? The more coats you use, the lesser the black will show through.

If I can get the kids to bed early and watch this movie I rented, I might make it out there after 10.
BTW, anyone know a good divorce atty? I just found out that my BIL who lives in the West burbs has a huge problem with his wacky wife (who I've hated since day 1). Personally, I think a 25 cent bullet is the cheapest way to go....

Like Aaron said, don't need a spacer with the Crawford. That would be overkill, and I'd have to buy a new hood.

Thanks for the tip, Aaron. I remember the last time I dyno'd, it was running a little bit lean IIRC.

Sorry I missed Uni last night. I must have been pretty tired since I passed out on the couch while watching a documentary with the boys. Ended up staying home to watch Knowing with Tara and her mom.
dont worry dave you didnt miss much kept on rainining off and on and the cops kicked everyone out early again. The knowing is an awesome movie saw it in the theatres and bought it last night and watched it myself too..

I washed and waxed the Z today. I feel like going out and cruising around the 'burbs. Maybe I'll cruise on over to Sonic later. Wanna go, Greg? Anyone else near B-ville and Savage want to meet there?
Silver bullet and sportbiketed, i saw both of you guys at uni last night. I was driving my friends big boaty 95 silver/blue Lexus SC300 and was hanging out with my friends black Acura TL (lowered with wheels)
Maybe you saw us parked at foodsmart lol

+1 on the Uni cruise. I'd rather drive around the 'burbs and go someplace or make several pitstops than hang out there with all the 'trouble' I've been reading about.
In fact, I might cruise on down to Mystic Lake this afternoon.

I should have thought of this earlier but how are the golf courses out there?
I played 36 holes this weekend and I try to get in at least 18 a weekend while the weather is good. Can't believe I didn't think of this before I signed the relocation papers

I'm sure Andrew will chime in about the courses around here. He knows them all. Isn't there a place here called Hazeltine or something like that?
You're in luck, I believe that MN actually has the most or second most golf courses per capita of any state.

Sweet!
South Carolina is probably up there. I couldn't drive 5 miles without running into a course. Hell I lived on a golf course. I wasn't a member but that didn't stop me from sneaking out every now and again and getting some putting practice in.

August 1st Meet??
As some of you know, I leave for AF BMT on August 18.
Let's try to get a good meet together, and hopefully I can meet everyone one last time before leaving you all.
Let's try to get everyone to attend this. Old members and newbies altogether.
