Depends on the weather but if I can't make it I'll surely will later on. I would be mostly racing at the track and I friend is tempting me into autocrossing so maybe I be give it a try.

The business just started so as of now he's not looking for help but if he does I'll let you know.

what ecu are you running? The rtek in your sig? It may be a driver issue, I had to update the USB driver on my laptop to work with the datalogit cable for the PFC.

Well see if you can get the dongle and laptop adapter or a hand controller is fine too. There no way of tuning the car without one of the stuff mention.

When I get down that way I'll definitely stop by to check it out. If nothing else I can drool over somebody else's cars for a change. Nice to have someone not too far away if I run into trouble with my ongoing engine swap.

I can not vouch enough for james.. I bought a car from him and he went above and beyond in making the sale right to me. I had some unforseen issues and without a question he solved a lot of the issues with money out of his pocket!! Go check out the shop though. Its great, and everyone there is extremely friendly!

I will be getting all of my work done there and referring any and all friends there.. and I am 6 hours away. Well worth the small road trip to go hang out with these guys.

Sorry I couldn't make it to the importfaceoff with you guys.. But on the plus side I only have 500 miles left on my break in procedure!

I'm sorry things didn't go right the first time I'm glad you have faith to let us have more time figuring out the problems that you been having. Well there's an importfaceoff in KC in May 1 so maybe I'll see you there.

Laptop would be the best way since you can see the clean curve but handcontroller is fine too.

If Poncho gets any more power out of his RX2, he's going to need an F16 G-suit just to drive it.
