Steven,

I think it's time to rename this thread. Maybe the Re-Progression of Twigglius' 2006 TL? In the next several months there shoudl be many upgrades and dyno sheets to add in here. It's probably time for a name change.

Here are a few pics of the new ISC N1 Coils.

Thanks Steven and Anil, don't lick your lips at me in public. LOL.

I think my TPMS receiver is going bad. Yesterday I got a message that said TPMS system error. When I scrolled through the MID, all 4 wheels displayed __. When I park the car for a few, get back in, they will work again, then a few min into my drive they go blank again.

I missed the edit time so had to make another post...

Anil, as we briefly discussed about the OBDII BT Receivers... You said you have the ELM2? All I see if the ELM327. Does not really matter since they are like $11 on Amazon and Newegg.

I was doing some reading on various sites but some really good info came from NASIOC. A lot of the members there have the KIWI device or the OBD Linx from Scan Tool.

Here is my question. Does it bother you that the ELM device transmits data pretty slow? From what I have read the KIWI device isn't that fast either, but pretty damn accurate for real time measurements. Cost of that one is $98. Other guys bought the Scan Tool device and from the reviews, it seems to be amazing. Here are some features.
  • 400% faster than closest competitor
  • will not drain battery when car is off
  • accelerated performance with Torque

Problem is, the device is $150.

I also found a device from BAFX Products that is $23 bucks. I just don't want something to be really laggy. What are your thoughts?

So I ordered this one yesterday. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...9SIA1EF0FF3686

I'm also thinking about getting a cheap 7 inch tab that is dedicated to my car. My Note 10.1 is too big and my GS3 is too small. HHGregg has a 7" Cody and Curtis for $59 and $69.

Sorry twigglius for a late post to this pic, which by the way looks good. But I
was wondering with the different wheel off-set. Could you of used a 245 for
the back rather than 235's at 4 corners? Since you can't rotate the wheels.
Or is it your back will rub with the 245's? just curious.

You could probably get away with a 245 on the rear without any issues. And you could for sure get away with 245's if you rolled the rear fenders.

In my opinion though, if your wheels are the same width front and rear you should stay with the same tire size, even though the offset is different. The only reason I would run different size tires from and rear is if the wheels were different widths. I am sure some people will disagree but that's my feeling.

Got my OBDll BT Scanner int he mail the other day. This thing is pretty cool... Still playing around with Torque Pro and learning what this thing is capable of.



Picked up a new camera as well and decided to take a drive and get some pictures. I am far from a great picture taker but here you go:

Driving home from work the other day.



Took this on some old back road by where I live.


Decided to go for a drive... Found a Ferry!



Snapped a few pics on my way home. I am terrible in low light!
