konig: Steve @ SRMotocars can log your AFR's, I think he charges a few bucks more though.

I'm sure we'll get you a good tune, I'll have my scanalyzer with me as well

I monitor AFR through the AP, so I don't need anything else.

AFR on the dyno is useful for comparison, though.

^+1

Konig: Racing Beat is located in Anaheim. Have you tried calling them up and seeing if they have one in the back room or something?

Damn it! Now I'll have to wash mine.

Of course!

Woohoo!! Spark plugs are in, huge thanks to Charles for hooking me up with those. The car is cleaned, polished, waxed and got a nice coat of #7 on it.

apocolypse31, I have a MazdaSpeed CAI (made by AES and is the same) that you could install if yours does not come in Friday. And then you can just give me the AES when it comes in. There are 22K miles on it but it is in perfect condition (Charles R. Hill can verify). It was easier for me to replace when I got the turbo installed so I just swapped it out.

Let me know if you need it. I live in Orange Hills and work in Long Beach. I will see if I can bring it to work tomorrow just in case.

Fail.

I saw the box earlier this evening. It's ready to go.

I'm all packed, car is clean, full of oil, full of gas, nitrous tank is almost full.


On the road again,, I can't wait to get on the road again.

NO order for tomorrow night, first come first serve.
Keep in mind Jeff is going to eat dinner at some point so if he runs off to grab a bite to eat, we can chill at his hotel till he gets back.

You can start showing up at 5:00 pm, NO LATER then 10:00. Even the Maniac needs his beauty sleep...
