That's great news. Did they tell you what codes or what caused it to go into limp mode?

Thanks guys. I didnt know this but apparently if you disconnect the battery the esp program has to be reset/configured or else errors will pop up. My battery has been disconnected a few times and thus a lot of codes came up. Some of which were:

- Over boost & s/c rpm speed (tech knew I was modded right away)
- Electronic throttle program error (couldnt sense throttle position)
- ESP steering angle sensor (needed to be reset)
- Battery disconnect

& 1 more I cant remember, so 5 total. Although they didnt void my warranty/ext warranty, clearing the codes was not under warranty as it was due to either a power surge or disconnecting the battery which could make sense as I've noticed some odd behavior at times since I last disconnected it.

All in all, it was only $75 for reseting the codes and my last free maintenance so Im glad its resolved. I just gotta keep the battery plugged in at all times!

took out the whip last night to drive it around and check to see if everything works. car is running great, feels a little stronger & smoother than before. shifts were more crisp too under wot. wound up hit a group of cars and played a little cat & mouse with an e46 m3 & A4 1.8T trying to move ahead of the pack.

LOL, , if you know this would happen, you prolly would walk out and say HELLO, wouldn't you?

Well, I'd feel weird if tons of TLs meeting a few blocks away from my home.

nah, I already beat her & made her feel bad that night. I did take her out for a nice dinner & a party with some friends though. I offered to drive her car (the interior is nicer and the gauges are much more visible) but she wanted a ride in my car.

im still looking for a rematch with a 911TT that wooped me when I was stock.

Yea, she's cute and fun so its cool I'll try to get her to one of our meets.

I hope you're not trying to win her by your ride...she seems to have high expectations when it comes to cars. Her last b/f drives a yellow 2002 911 GT2.

That's not a Pinto. That's a Vega. I had a friend that had a small block 350 in his. There's also a guy at the local autocross group that still drives one but he runs the cosworth motor.

The car in the back is a Nova I think or Chevy II

Actually, I drive a 2003 Hyundai Elantra GT. Silver on the outside, black on the inside. Just like this one:



The whole pinto thing was a joke, cause I ain't going to get much more respect with my Hyundai that I would have with a pinto

Gets me from point A to point B.

If and when my master ... I mean wife lets me upgrade I would strongly consider a TL. Perfect for a technology nerd like me.
