that adapter worked last night. did some logging on the way home.
Damn thing has 1-3 knock on a 3rd gear pull though. probably from either the cams, stock catback, or its phantom knock from those damn cams...

ya I know the stock ecu will handle that, it just bumps the timing down 1 degree but I'm picky when it comes to the tune of my car. The car itself might look like crap, but my car has run for 60k hard miles and is still tickin to tell the story.

I am going to go run some logs with mitsulogger instead of evoscan and see what the trims are at. I will be back boys.

Mike if Grainger emails you, shoot me a text.

probably the cams- they change the VE of the motor pretty drastically.

send me the logs and i'll take a look.

As I thought, my cordless saws are 5 1/2 inch trim saws...Craftsman does make a 7 1/4 in. one but that's not what I have.

I got my 120v saw back today, that IS a 7 1/4 in. saw, so I will try tonite.



I think I also have to suck it up and take the sink and toilet out of there tonite, as well...that kinda sucks to completely lose the upstairs bathroom, but....oh well.


Got a nice medicine cabinet today, though... flushmount beveled mirrors (2) that actually open to reveal a deep cabinet with mirrored rear wall and mirrored doors (on the inside)...really nice piece.

Got our fixtures too (READ: got butt-poked by Kohler), so I think all of the major purchasing is done dundee.

did you make any progress on the floor? I think we could set off a small explosive to break up the concrete a bit

I've only got what you've seen done on teh floor, which was my goal, initially.

I managed to cut away the bottom 12" of the shower enclosure so that I can get the bathtub out...once it's been cut or smashed.

I'm pretty happy with the progress I made, at this point it is still slow-and-steady.

I did buy an air hammer, though, with some chisels for futher breakage but I have yet to see how they perform.

damn dave sounds like that bathroom was set in stone for a lifes eternity. I'll be around tonight and most of this week, so do not hesitate to give me a call man. And yes I finally found the IC pipe that slipped, tightened them all back up and just ran it a while ago...sounds great, good power, great spool and throttle response, cant wait for some highway runs to make sure all is in tact...cant imagine this with a tune, cant wait

I'm back...

Been a shi++y week. Went home sick early on wednesday, had a 102.7 fever till saturday . And to top things off, my favorite and very inspirational uncle passed away thursday morning. So had to do the wake/funeral thing all weekend.


...but to end on a good note, the Ti lugs are here. I text'd those who have been awaiting their arrival.
