I got stage2.

I rarely plan that far in the future... but I'll probably be in Oregon/Washington circa early April...

sorry, no sarcasm.

I don't recall any discernible wheel hop for the couple visits I mad e to race city... but less engine movement is always better.

Although I don't plan on diing anything that will chance me voiding warranty till it expires, this is one of a few select upgrades I was planning to go for - before I came across the group buy/sale...

Agreed, i've got to look into something to reduce the wheel hop that I have in my car, i'm surprised how bad it is at times

Haha Im on here a few times a week actually just lurking about.

Things are good, work is busy, etc. I have no complaints at the moment other than this god damn weather.

I love my Outlander. Shes unstoppable in snow with the winter tires. Its just so much more convenient having the extra room and as well being able to drive over any terrain. I will miss the car come summer though.

I dont see my old balt at all. She lives down south, brooks or somewhere like that. I can't remember. She did come back in the late fall. Looked and sounded good. Appears the guy takes care of it, which makes me happy, as I baby that thing.

mobile1 ~ I'm a "good boy", and want to keep warranty.

apparently for gm vehicles that are mobile1 equipped, putting anything aside from GM-approved synthetic oil warrants voiding powertrain warranty...

Mobile 1 also. But it's always because I have a bit of unused oil from the last oil change still in the bottle. So I try to use it during the next oil change lol which means I'm stuck with mobile 1 until I perfectly finish off a bottle during a change
