Car weighs 2475 lbs with driver. Car runs on alcohol and talk about fun. Never went to track yet on this setup (soon though)
It was that Orange color that was so popular. It cornered really nice and had a smooth 5 speed.

Boy that was fun. Especially if you had dropped a couple of hits of acid and drank a twelve pack of Beast after spending all night in DC. Sometimes wonder how we made it past the age of 21.

A friend of mine got pulled over in his Datsun 2000 for having a headlight out.
When the cop leaned on his fender to write the ticket the headlight came back on. He just tore up the ticket, got back in his cruiser and left.

Affordable Automotive in White Plains
Well, I finally got my ride back, it's been in the shop for almost two weeks, so I been driving my sled (2005 Dodge Ram 4X4) back and forth to work in glen burnie (damn that was expensive!!!)
Now for my take on AA. Well the car did pass emissions. Here is a breakdown on the work they did:
Replaced the cat, with hi-flow cat, found out the fuel pressure regulator was bad, replaced that too. Put car back together, found a leaking injector seal, ordered parts...waited, wrong parts delivered, ordered new parts ...waited, guess what wrong parts....waited again.
They had to deal with me on the phone and in the showroom giving them the blues over why my car was not ready. (this was after two 70.00 fill ups in my truck) They explained the delay, I was not happy. No FC for the holiday weekend damn I was pissed.
Finally they get the correct parts (injector seals) in and put her back together.
Cost almost 900, but they kicked me a 200+ discount for my pain and suffering. (I felt like a crack addict without their pipe...)
Final thoughts:
Seems that good work was done, their only downside was they did not call me with updates, I had to call them (i guess I'm high maintenance, and require daily updates, or something close to it.)
Would I go back, sure if I can't fix something myself.
just my 2 cents.

Thanks for lettin me stop by Dave so I could get off my *** and fix my own damn problem, haha! Glad it wasn't anything more serious. I think my A/F is actually richer than I thought. I opened it up on the way home and it would shoot down to 11.7 so I think I'm fine. Probably just like you said, it's isolated in one part of the map.
Anyone goin to the MSCW meeting tomorrow night in Tyson's? I'll stop by there since I'll be working in VA all day.

I thought I was going to make it, but at this point I have too much crap to do. If I get a wild hair up my butt, I might say fuckitall and come anyway.
