Kristopher_d could you pick up my engine cover? I left it at their shop by accident. I'll grab it back from you on the drive on the 30th.

DOH! Sorry Shaun!

I'll swing by and grab it for you, so it's not laying around a shop, okay? I'll get it to the shop before the dyno day.

My class ends at 1 or 1:30; I plan on heading to the shop after. maybe I'll catch some of you there?

I have the AP installed and I'm learning the trims. I really need my Mazsport parts. (I heard a part was back ordered on the ignition.) This will allow me to dyno the coils, midpipe and tune at least. The full exhaust and bumper mod will not be complete, but will be unveiled at the NW Rotor Rally.

Nemesis8 can you assist Skylee? He just got his AP and is looking for some help installing the new maps. I think it would be cool to see both you guys with before and after runs of the AccessPort.

Sure I can help, but my free time is very small for the next two weeks. Might have to do it at the dyno, but he really needs to learn the trims starting now.

I'm in Aberdeen

By understanding what each flash file does to your STFT. Follow Jeff's instructions in his e-mail. Take it easy for a week while doing this. No WOT runs yet.

After your load the first file, follow exactly what he said. Learn what each flash does. My car likes the very first file that we start with. It's better to post your questions over in the other thread. I can help you when I get to the dyno, but my time over the next two weeks is booked solid.

As long as it can talk to your car you're fine. There was a small ECU change toward the end of the '04 production run that probably has the Cobb thinking it's an 05. The Cali bit just indicates that it's california emissions compliant, which most cars shipped to the west coast would be (that goes for all mfrs).

The group dyno is not for a one on one dyno tune session. You need to schedule something like this.

Come to the NW Rotor Rally and discuss options with myself and dannobre
