I ******* knew it was that exit!

I was keeping up with Jessie and the yellow 8 until traffic got in the way. Then I went and passed Will, but inadvertently passed the exit as well.

GMR? I haven't gone there in months. I've lost pretty much all interest since that area has gotten alot of attention.

Sounds like you almost made it. Jesse was right behind me heading to the exit and the leaders slowed down quite a bit for the exit hoping everyone could catch up. As soon as we passed over the mountain it was one of the most beautiful days ever.
Jesse did some all wheel burn-outs that were pretty sweet.

i was going to get waffles at the arrowhead village, but once we passed the exit, i couldnt see so i said **** it and came back down, trhen went to applebees. gmr sounds fun, but we would need to take the ridge so we dont get too much traffic, also, next month starts the rainy season so you guys know how that will go.

Will, do you still have that door handle? I finally tore my whole door apart and, yeah, the handle snapped.

So if anyone has an FC drivers door handle (outside) for sale, let me know.

macz what kind of ecu are you using, does it work well with rotaries and how is the interface. Looking to get a standalone because my car really needs to be tuned.

Microtech LT8-s. You have to get one that is set up for a S5 13B-T or a 13B-RE since the CAS on the FD is different. Install was fairly easy, the motor fired up first try after cranking out all the old gas. All you need is a soldering gun, resin-core solder, heat-shrink, and a quick-wire stripper.

Fris likes the Haltech more, but I haven't had any problems with my LT8-s. I think it works very well with the rotary.

Standalone. You have complete control over fuel and ignition.

This also gives you an opportunity to do any needed re-wiring, ie. the fuel pump, and replace old wiring.

It's a great piece of mind, knowing that your wiring is solid and your vital systems are working all the time, everytime.

yeah, i had the microtec lt-10s...great ecu..... ive also used a piggyback... the apexi s-afc2..... what a pain......its alot harder to adjust fuel maps when you have secondary injectors that spray at different rpm levels..... at least the microtec is preset with the factory ecu maps.. and you adjust from there.....

Bad news, good news guys.
Bad news- Popped my diff mount doing a 2nd gear clutch kit at about 30mph at the last meet
Good news- just got a new copmetition diff mount in the mail today and should have it in soon.
I'm not driving it until it's fixed. I've heard alot of people tweak rear subframes diving on bad diff mounts. Hope everyone is well!

install a pinion snubber while you're at it. You're guaranteed to break your new mount with all that torque you're running.
