This 4 door must be fast now....

I had my first run in with a 2015ish STI....
from a light we both rolled out then he hit it. I pulled 2nd and matted it.... his back bumper got maybe 3 feet in front of my front bumper. Went by him squealing in 2nd. Hit 3rd and just pulled cars and cars on him... I hope he got out of it-- if not-- it was a whoopin'. Very happy with term2's tune.
PS... I am averaging 28.2mpg and it is still going up!
We were in Mexico.

No. Not a dream. Lol. Just want to disclose it was in Mexico.
I will do a fill/miles test... I was reeeeeally happy to post up that mpg.
Now the exhaust even sounds kinda like it has a flap in it. When the boost hits it takes on a different tone and gets loud...
This car really rips for a DD. Very happy with the fact that the tires don't go up in smoke in 3rd gear like my last neon. Much more composed...

PM him and I'm sure he can answer you better than I can.
I paid him last fall but was not ready until recently.

So will it be harder to race in Mexico if Trump wins and builds his wall?

He will win and they should make the wall wide enough to race on it

I don't know why it wouldn't be. I thought that was only true if you did anything to the fuel system; i.e. upgraded fuel pump, larger injectors. but I know those type of mods are not so prevalent for lnfs

It is programmed for certain fuel flow and pressure.
Tuning the car changes those and makes it inaccurate.

I though dic was based on pulsewidth

im only asking because I have only tuned my lsj. never really looked at the tables on an lnf
