Year-long rain? You must be confusing FL with Seattle. We just get hurricanes.

And everyday, at some point (usually at sunset) it rains. Year 'round. Don't deny it.:D

One of the main things I hate about this area is the rainfall. Central Florida is worse.

Just got back to Nebraska from my vacation house in Arizona -- wished I had my 8 there the whole time -- what fun could have been had :D Especially knowing my turbo was being installed while I was there -- I will pick her up tomorrow if the weather here cooperates. You can complain about rain -- but we have ice and snow

Man that is not too nice. Well if you do not like PFS try www.turboeast.com This is also another great rotary tuner shop. PFS has tuned 600-700 hp rotarys so getting to that level I guess you wll break a few along the way.

In that case, I am excited to see what will happen. I didn't realize the sale of the shop was such a shake-up. That should be cool.

Speaking of fishtails.. I did one on purpose to try to recover and failed pretty badly. The engine stalled and I got a CEL. Wierd. I bet the code was "DAD001". Dumb a$$ Driver 001.

Everything is about the throttle. Your "recovery" probably included the release of the throttle or even the application of brakes.
No matter how deep you are in a spin, the recovery always includes the application of throttle. It seems counter-intuitive, but if you are rotating, to recover you hit the gas, not the brakes.

Generally the best way to "fishtail" while moving is to disengage the clutch, stomp on the gas and re-engage the clutch. As the wheels start to spin, you can add a bit of steering to unsettle the car and then modulate the direction of the car with the gas pedal only.

Actually that has been their price for a while now. I got my turbo kit from them a few weeks ago. They were great. Very fast shipment. If you go on their website to order it it is actaully $10 cheaper. Not a big deal, but I guess you can get a happy meal with that turbo. If anything I see the prices going up. I hear that Greddy is cracking down on "posted" prices so if you are looking somewhere else you may want to call them and see if they are willing to haggle.
