(only try on a closed course)



Go out to the most secluded piece of earth in your driving distance and drive like a complete idiot in the most safe manner possible and then travel back into town. Thats how I balance out the 95% of the time regular driving. One night a week is good to look forward to.

Flog her!

I miss when gas only was 1.20 (or lower) for premium here in MI. Now we are at 3.25ish, can we say 39+ for a full tank - ouch, just thinking about it makes my wallet hurt.

Okay, I also have a IX that just passed the break-in period. Other than drive the snot out of it where is a good place to start the modding? I have a catch can installed already(not really a mod but after seeing a friend drain his intercooler like an oil pan I thought it might be a good idea). I'm almost scared to mention the words blow off valve, what else. Also which would be a better route for tuning something like SAFC II or the NEO or a mail order flash(if all the hardware and software is available)? I do not plan on going into the motor anytime soon, just basic bolt-on's for now. Thanx for the input...

Twisted - you do not need a BOV. The metal IX is fine.

Search around - a TBE, MBC, and tune will give you a great car.
