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

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.

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.
