it could possibly be pulling timing for some reason but it's impossible to know for sure without actually seeing it and/or running a log so I can review it. I'd be happy to take a look at it if you want. Like I said, shoot me a PM and we'll talk.

I'm not 100% but I don't think he has the option of turning traction control on or off on the fly, however Vince should be able to disable, or at least limit how much TC engages. Again I'm not 100% but I can look into it more.

No reverse lights? Mine are currently not working, I think it's the switch on the transmission.


Also rotated trans mounts are worth every penny, my car feels more solid and now I just spin instead of hop haha.

Yeah it works for me. Two less holes I have to worry about leaking, and they've almost never worked so it works out for me. And the weight savings

We had a dyno day at Turbo Kits . com last year with a great turn out so this year shouldn't be any different. The great thing about their location is that it's convenient enough for some of you guys from MA that may want to come down and get in on this. They are located right in Windsor Locks.

So far the guys I know who are interested are:

1)09Cobaltss1 (John), dyno 8/20 or 8/27
2)CTCar (Dan), dyno? ?
3)elecblue06 (Kyle), dyno 8/20 or 8/27
4)GOONIE (Carmine), dyno 8/20 or 8/27
5)NicossGuerrera (Nico), dyno ?

if anyone else is interested let me know so then we can work on setting a date. For now I'm trying to basically get a head count to gauge interest
So I finally got off my ass and contacted the powers that be about setting up a dyno day (thanks Kyle.. ). I will be contacting them again on Monday to set up something definite, so I'm looking to get an updated list of anyone that is seriously interested in jumping on the dyno, along with any date requests that can work for everyone. For anyone that doesn't want to dyno but would rather just come and hang out and meet everyone from the community is absolutely welcome to join us btw.

Anyone who is interested please copy and paste the above list and add your css.net user name, your first name, if you plan on jumping on the dyno or not and any dates that work for you. So far we are planning on either 8/20 or 8/27 but nothing is absolutely definite yet so please let me know what works best for you so we can coordinate with everyone accordingly. The more the merrier guys (and cheaper per person) so let get this list filled! Thanks guys..
