4 hour to clean car? try 10+hours. What are you trying to clean? interior? Come on man, I detail once in a while. If its for the inside, use a mix of 1 part woolite and 10 parts water. When your done with that, if your leather is kinda dry throw on some leather conditioner. I use Duragloss but Lexol works too and its OTC. Get yourself some 303 protectant on top. Leaves a nice matte finish, very little gloss.
From the last video, looksl like when you went WOT at above 5k, AFR dropped to 11-12? thats pretty rich for NA if your looking for power.......
Good stuff though!

I do need some 303 though.As am I. Ive worked a total of 30 hours in the past two days. I wake up, go to work, come home, sleep, and do it all over again. Ive been averaging one meal a day and thats when I walk in the house, then I pass out.
Because of that I didnt have the time to go to Honda to get my parts, and I definately dont have the time to toss one of the last few mods on the car. The good news is Im not going to work tomorrow!!
My wheels are still not done. I called yesturday and got his voicemail, which said the shop is closed due to an illness. Im getting pissed off at this. I dont have a problem with him not being able to find the correct paint right away, and I definately cant complain about someone getting sick, but no notification? I had to call to get a status update especially when it involves delays? I dropped the wheels off over 2 weeks ago. Its not like Im calling every day for updates. I called him last Thursday, which he said they would be done last Wednesday and thats when he finally picked up the paint. I left it alone until yesturday when I called and got his voicemail. Thats unacceptable, and not how you run a business.
Im going to start on my other car soon. Ive figured out what color Im going with on it finally, and Ive figured out what Im doing with the interior so I can actually start to progress with it. Just not this weekend since I have to work

Spoolin - Forgot to add this: I just realized it is dipping a bit low at higher RPM. Ill be honest that when Im at WOT at higher RPMs Im not staring at the AFR gauge 
I may lower fuel pressure and play around with it for now. Still waiting on Don to chip this damn thing.

Honda Reformulated MTF. And yea, it does suck, but Ive always said health is the most important, so I cant complain.
Quick note for everyone - If raining and the roof is nicely waxed, dont drive with youre moonroof open. I had to slam on the brakes before and I got soaked

I have a friend who is running crome on his B-series turbo tuned and it owns.
He's already teaching me how to use it and mess with some of the parameters. That way, I have an idea how it the program works when Don finishes it (Yes, I'm being optimistic).

Crome is fucking awesome. It has more usability than Hondata IMO. And Im running a K-pro on my Civic.

Can't beat freeware. Pay a little for the PRO and you still get the same/better results from any other tuning solution for alot less cheaper.
It has my vote. I honestly would go that route other than an E-Manage, F/IC or whatever.
Just going to have to wait. So far I like it, very easy to read and user friendly. I thought it was complicated as shit and it would take me months to learn. I've got great friends
For tuners and hardcore DIY's alike, I feel it is ideal and would be a great tool.

I know plenty of people with turbo'd Ds running Crome, and they love it. I 
Don can get it fully functional.

Last I remember was that it could be done. He is just trying to get the options such as boost to work.
I believe it is chippable now and the script has to be figured out for the software.

Yea, there not much of an update to be given.
The wheel guy called me Tuesday with more BS, hes having a hard time laying down the clearcoat with the matte finish. He ordered another brand (this is the third one) and it has a slight gloss appearance to it. Im going in tomorrow to see how glossy it is. If its not what I want Im taking the wheels to someone else.
My new video camera came in yesturday, along with a mount. I hope to make a few stable videos in the next few days.
I tried coaxing a modded G35 to run, but he didnt want to, at least not correctly. He kept taking off when a truck was in front of me. It pissed me off.
Today on my way to work I hopped on the highway. In front of me was an E39 540i, it was definately a 6 speed. What I found hilarious was the Hellaflush and Fresh stickers on the back window, and he was on stock wheels He got on the highway with authority, so of course I followed I sat right on his bumper in the left lane at about 80% throttle up to around 120 I think, then he let off. It had temporary tags on it. I saw his eyes in the rearview, and as we were picking up speed he seemed to get angrier and angrier. There wasnt enough space for me to safely pass him. When it opened up I tried getting him to line up and go but he wouldnt do it
But, the car is running better and better, especially now that the weather is warming up. I still have a few little things to do to the car, but Ive been working non stop so I really dont have the time.
