This is the exact reason why I don't try to race anybody on the street....it's just not worth it.

All I can say is......IDIOTS !

*short commercial to get thru....but worth the wait.

Yeah I saw that. I guess he accidentally kicked his clutch. Or maybe he took off traction control to be badass and thought he had all the skill to control the car hahaha.

I hate when people ask to street race. I was at a meet awhile back and some guy came up to me that drove a trailblazer and wanted to do a run for $60. It was probably an SS even though he claimed it was stock and only ran 14's. If he only ran 14's and it was stock why would he try and race? It was pathetic. I hate immature street racers.. They're stuck in the need for speed underground days.

LOL...sadly that dammn TV i bought new in like 2003 and flat panels werent affordable or even made i think in 65 inch back then....such a waist of cash now..lol...were gonna give that thing to a family member to leave outside on their rear enclosed patio....

sadly, yes and no!.......its straight up ridiculous dealing with track/subdivision home builders.....they tell you: ""yes, yes, oh ya we can do that, no problem..yada yada"" then when it comes to putting it in the plans/construction plans its push back and waiting......sooo dammn frustrating...

we did however stand strong and told them that if they dont fix what they already said they can do we werent buying and we were walking they fixed 95% of the things they originally recanted on........mainly because i had the cash to back it up really..........

in the end we reached an acceptable point and the house is underway, but obviously delayed......so the house is looking to be Feb completion date now...

either way, were good, just waiting longer and that sucks a bit too, but oh well..... we cant wait to get into it.......

we added a 14x22 rear patio..thats new since last time.......lol..ill keep ya guys updated on it as it goes up....i plan on taking mad pics.......

It's better to be a bit more patient and get it done the way you want it because you'll be the only one living there for years to come. A definite pay- off in my mind....then you won't be like...oh snap, " I should have had them do it the way I wanted. "

Also a great decision to enlarge the patio ! Believe me when I built my first house I only had a 10X10 pad poured...when in about 3 years later I had it enlarged by paying for a company to lay down some pave stone. That was expensive, and For only a few hundred more I could have had the builder do it right from the beginning.

I can't wait for you to get it all finished and see some pics.

Chris, did you figure out when you are going to Steve's? He said he'd give me the first hour free for my dyno testing, so I'm hoping it would take less than an hour. I thought maybe I'd do it the same time that you go up there.

Yes, I spoke with him about the maps and told him about the Idle issue....he said to bring it up & he would check it out for me.....Didn't really sound like I was going to get on the Dyno so I doubt he I would incur any costs....But if it starts taking up a bunch of time then I would expect him to start charging.

I will need to check with him about any fees that I will incur before I go up there tho.

I wouldn't expect him to charge you anything, since he's just fixing stuff that he did for you. He'd charge me just because it's technically a re-tune but only slightly. I asked him if he could do some of it for free since I had all those issues, and that's why he offered the first hour. I'm hoping it will only take that much time so I can get it done for free.

I'm doing some independent testing for another FX buddy on a bored out 2mm TB, because apparently UpRev is the only tuning software than can account for the change. Might end up buying it depending on the results.

So I went to pro tuning today and they looked at my bushings and they're torn. I have two options. Energy Suspension Poly Urethane bushings or Spherical SPL bushings. I'm leaning towards the poly simply because it's less than half the cost and doesn't seem like a huge performance loss in comparison to the SPL bushings. And because with everything else I need it's getting pricey.

Does anyone here do bushing installs? PM me! Probably either Jake or Jason lol.

Me. There's not really anything to take pics of. The tire kinda blocks anything you'd be able to see anyway.
