I think so but I do not know so :p...there are some screenshots of the program somewhere around here

as for the ashtray...u may know this already but...

1. unscrew shift ****
2. use small flathead screwdriver wrapped in one layer of electrical tape and stick it inbetween the silver of the console accent and the center console near the shift boot...then pry up...ones you have a hold of the center console piece you can pull...pull hard! and the 6 or so clips will release
3. if you have heated seat buttons disconnect those...they are colorcordinated so dont worry about mixing them up
4. now there are two black screws keeping the ash tray in place...unscrew those
5. now pull hard on the entire ashtray and ashtray door...it will dislodge...becareful not to scratch the surrounding plastic
6. disconnect connector for the lighter plug...this will be easy
7. disconnect connector for ash tray light...this will be a pain in the ***
8. now you can play around with the ash tray, remove the lighter plug///dremel it out whatever

if you want pics of how to do this I can muster some up or take some more

Thanks. That is enough detail. Looks like I may be able to fit it and keep the cover.
Requires some triming ..

thanks

heehehe Sleeper gauge is in. I put it in the ash tray. Had to trim the top and bottom and drill a hole through the back. But at least the cover close to hide it. don't look so nice but I'll make a face cover for it soon.

I seen my 1st white 8 rolling on 36 today, it was heading east to maplewood or stillwater.

Not sure I like the white, doesn't look like a sports car color.

I live in maplewood and work in minneapolis.

Red one, no, but I've seen two reds rolling around in Stillwater when I go down for lodge meetings. I see about 3 black ones on 36 every so often. I think one's a computer geek since it has a linux lic. plate cover. I've even seen a hot blond gal driving a 8 downtown minneapolis....forgot what color the car was though, too focused on her.

I've own a blue myself.

Ah yes a courteous stalker. One of the reds I see in Stillwater is a old man, 60's or older. The other's windows are tinted out so I can't tell.

Yea, the blonde was knockout. I'm suprised I didn't hit the curb watching her roll by.

Does anyone know what a turboed 8 should run in the quarter? I went to Sabin, MN Monday and ran a 15.09 in the 1/4 at 99 MPH...My reaction time was .22....I thought guys were pulling high 13's? Just wondering if it's me, the car, or if thats what I'm supposed to be running.

You need a high performance vehicle to do high 13's.

Stock won't get you there.

did you turn off your DTS? I think the ones pulling 13s are boosting theirs to round 10-12 psi give or take a few psi.

Greddy tune with 5-6 psi

I was going to order it 2 days ago but the guy at greddy told me that it's good enough? He wanted me to order this Profec E-01 boost controller for $680.00...I told him to keep it! I still think my car should be alot faster? I'm taking it to the DYNO this week and I'll let you guys know what happens...I had the traction control off at the track...I did the whole hold the dsc button in until you see the car in the center dash...oh well, maby I need to learn how to launch better?
