Thx bud. All the ecu's work. Some have better features then others, but in the end it comes down to whatever your tuner is more comfortable with.

Jamboree in 4 weeks, hoping to get out for a test before that though (and not break anything).

Cut the muffler(s) off and keep the revs under 6K, see if that improves your situation. LOL! That sucks man, although legally you can be as loud as you want until noise curfew...

Bacon, just drive the car somewhere else and rev it there bro. Roan shuts his car off and rolls into the garage.

I also had a similar situation. I would let my car just idle but it would resonate in my neighbors house. It bothered no one except this one old lady. We went to court over it. They lost but in the end it's better to play nice for all.

The letters unjust, makes me seem like im a ducher, I never run after dusk, trying to diagnose my problem i have rev'd to 8k a handfull of times @ 5:30-6pm. when i get home from the track late i push it in. Music late? a hand full of times we've had people over, never had outdoor music louder than you can hold a conversation over.
I mow the front lawn of the elderly mom/daughter that live next door to me, i snowblow/shovel both houses to the right and left of mine/along with 2 across the street, and do the sidewalks 5 houses each way. always wave, and talk with almost all my neighbors.took my property from the uglyduckling to best on the block...
this im guessing is from the slob across the street who dosent maintain his lawn, has trees growing out his gutters, and statrs snowblowing every time it snows @ 4am, and only dose his property.

If they actually put their name/addy id come appoligise. the "anonmyous" thing bothers me more than anything

I live in a well spread out area. All houses are on 3-5 acres. I try to turn it off and coast or atleast find the sweat spot (quiet) whe driving close to home. I did have a neighbor street down shake his head at me one day so I revved it up and he then graped his ***** at me.. Funny seeing 60+yr old man doing this at you...

As long as you're not loud at the wee hours of the morning and late at night, they can all go pound sand. I rarely start my motor at my house, but when I do, I do it right in the middle of the day between 12-4pm. I live in a community with association and there are plenty of old farts that have nothing better to do but bitch about something to make their life worth anything. I had my trailer parked in my driveway, with a nice cover over it ,for one week and got a notice telling me to get rid of it or I may get fined. LOSERS!

BACON* That is full of awesomness! WIN WIN WIN!

My neighbors are all about 1-2 acers away. Every person on my side of the street has a car besides 1, and on the other side of the street all but 1. So its kinda nice when you can street tune something in front of your house or use the whole street to mess with revlimters/2steps. The dude at the end of the street witch is about 1/4 mile up the road, pulls the dragster out and lets her go from one side to the other. no one really cares what hour of day/night it is besides my family . Hell theres been harley burnout contests at 4am in the middle of the street with up to 9 competitors. It's not to shabbbbbyyyyy

The real question still stands though? Were you able to find a solution to your issue with the reving of the engine? Because if not, repeat the process again until the problem is solved. lol

But on the real, it is a different taste for those that are not too involved with cars, and toys for that matter lol.. At least he was nice enough or respectful enough to not be all in your face about it.

Hi guys, I really need your advice on a serious problem: I have suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me. The usual signs: if the phone rings and I answer, the caller hangs up; she goes out with the girls a lot, works overtime a lot. I try to stay awake to look out for her when she comes home but I usually fall asleep. Anyway last night about midnight I hid in the garage behind the Mazda. When she came home she got out of someone's car, buttoning her blouse, then she took her panties out of her purse and slipped them on. It was at that moment, crouched behind the RX-3, that I noticed a hairline crack in the Diff housing. Is that something I can weld or do I need to replace it? I really can't afford to replace it right now.

How do you crack your diff rolling it in and out of the garage?
