That sucks to wait.

Damn good deal here, I wish I could swing it right now. 2010 R3 with under 7,000 miles for $24,000.00.

My forgstars took awhile. They came to me perfect though. I think the problems people were having were on the very early runs.

Me too, wiring is a bitch but i think I did a pretty professional job actually.

I do have one issue though. I don't need the scavenge pump running if the engine is not running so if I wire to an ignition source it would be running while I was doing something like uploading a new map with the Cobb. Can I just wire a switch inline between the relay trigger and the ignition source at the fuse box? That way when I am uploading a map I can just switch the pump off.

Yes you can. A simple inline toggle switch would be easy.

Hey Guys,

I know I don't post much, come to any of the meets, and sometimes post overly sarcastic **** but I wanted to pass this along to everyone.

On Dec. 10th Roger Beasley Mazda is hosting a track day at Harris Hill outside of San Marcos. From what I know it is free to anyone with a Mazda. It would be great to finally meet everyone and what not.
