Nice, I have to get my racepipe installed right to get my car back on the road. I somehow put it on wrong and is leaking exhaust gas like there is no tomorrow. But getting my clogged cat off the car was nice.

Man, haven't had a Friday night off in a while, does anybody feel like getting some Chic? The FD desperately needs to be driven!

I'd drive my FC, but I'm having some cooling issues, so she doesn't go very far.

My car needs tuned . It's running lean now that I have stronger spark, I don't want to blow it up.

On another note; if any of you need a real estate agent I am licensed in VA now and I would love to help you out with buying, renting, or selling. Shoot me a PM if you have any questions or want to get set up to find a place!

I'd love to upgrade from an FC to an FD. It's a good looking car too.

What's up Ian? I just finished tuning/adjusting AFRs on the street. The haltech has a pretty good data log system, so I was able to log AFRS, RPM, and Boost. Lots of trials on the street, analysis of the logs at home, and lots of REAPEAT of the last two

The guys at inlinepro quoted me $250 -$300 for a AFR tune up.

I'm dealing with a Microtech... I feel like the guys at inline pro would blow up a rotary anyway. I'm talking to someone about it right now and if he decides not to do it I'm going to get in touch with Brian from RCC and see if he will tune it at Speed1.

My daughter is coming in mid Novemeber so the car is on the back burner. I know you understand that!

Look out for the DC Fall Cruise Thread. Once I get some free time (hopefully in the next week or so) I'll put something together for us all to enjoy the cars one last time before the snowy/salty season starts. I'll bump it here and include a link when it is up.


Ian, I'll shoot you an email or a PM or a Txt at some point about real-estate. I used to be looking around really hard but I've been too busy to keep up with it lately. I am looking for something very specific so once I explain what my criteria are, you can keep an eye out and let me know.

InlinePro were only doing the fuel map, I wouldn't allow them to touch the ignition map. Have you tried PFS, he is hard to contact, but man he is good when it comes to tunning! There's Wilbert Performance from P.R., he comes over to the states to tune vehicles. I would love to have him go over my map, maybe we can gather a couple of guys, and bring him over. Let me know if you are interested, and I can contact him. Wilbert tunes all kind of ECUs, and he is the tuner of many FAST drag race cars, including the fastest rotary drag car in the world

Congrats on the baby, get all of your sleep NOW. My son just turned 6 months, and he is now waking up once per night. Its incredible how much more rested I feel, now that my son gets up once per night

I've got a tune from PFS on the FD. It's really rich and throws many flames, but runs, spools, and pulls great. Friends say the flames kiss the spoiler during turn in :/.....

Don't waste your time PFS. Know of to many horror stories about them. Brian is the way to go. You tell him what you want and you will get it. Shoot me a PM if you need contact info for him Ian.

Rocky can't wait to got to the Fall cruise!

My FC has been tuned by Brian twice, Ray tuned it once, and Dave tuned it once (not in that particular order). Locating Ray is a big PAIN in the butt, but when it comes to tuning, I would go to him first.

Not to start a pissing match, or bad mouth anybody, cause I like all three tuners; but Ray is the man when it comes to tuning

The current situation with Brian, is that you have to pay for his service + renting the dyno. Last time I talked to him about it, the sum was +$200 per hour

Encountered a moron today in his FD rx7. I was in the left left turn lane going under an underpass in Herndon. At the next light the rx7 driver pulls up next to me and starts saying how impressed they were with how "I did that back there".

I was pretty perplexed and initially had no idea what the **** they were talking about. Then I suddenly realized they were being sarcastic and were trying to make fun of me.

Just wanted to let you know that I have straight pipes on my car...literally headers to nothing but a pipe...this + high revving v8 * underpass = very loud noises. I was not showing off, it's just how loud my car is.

Anyways, nice wing on your car. Which airport do you primarily fly out of? IAD?

Unfortunately The car is kind of on the back burner right now. I'm the daring type guy that starts a complete kitchen and master bathroom remodel 2 months before my baby is due. Cabinets are ordered, tile and materials are ordered, now I just have to finish gutting, do the plumbing, electrical, and then finish the drywall/paint where it's needed. I got a great installed price on my cabinets from a custom builder so that is a time-saver for me. If any of you want his information let me know!

I've been in touch with Bill who is semi-local about possibly tuning the car for me, if he's too busy with his projects I'll try to get it to Brian. This might be something that doesn't happen until next year and I've accepted that right now due to time constraints. I would love to have it tuned and back on the road to enjoy now but I'm sure those of you with kids understand my position.

Thanks for the support and advice about tuners guys!

As long as the baby's room is good to go You are a BRAVE man dude, all of that two months prior?!?!?

I might need the contact info for the cabinets. As soon as we recover from all of the medical bills from my second kid, we will be tackling the kitchen reno
