I mean a tune could squeeze a little power out and maybe help the throttle response. Problem is for an initial tune and all he will probably be at $350-500.

Also J we are in the process of planning a dragon trip are you interested?
Photobucket also killed your pictures for the radar hardwire. Do you still have them to repost?

I had my girlfriend mention to your wife how she found out about your guys online store the other day when she bought something. I had her mention I got it from you on Acurazine and she had no idea what she was talking about

It's simple.. his girlfriend's uncle's cousin on his father's side talked to his wife's brother's mother about the website his neighbor's boss' boss nephew from his 3rd job out of college told him about ordering from. He mentioned he heard about it from Acurazine and nobody knew what the fuck he was talking about even though it's a prestigious website, unlike the dirty hooker website they were referring to, of which they all buy their dildos from. Comprende?

He loves driving the A3 over the S2K, and loves driving both over the V.
The V is probably like a $500 bill every month too..
He probably saw little to no depreciation on the V.. might make some coin actually..
So we're all like.. sell the V. He don't really love it.. and it's not really what he wanted options wise. No recaros or man pedal.

That was for 00TL-P3.2. His wife sells LuLaRoe and my girlfriend bought some of it from his wife's video show.

Hey Jason, I don't think I'll be able to work a trip up any time soon, unfortunately.
I would love to at some point, although it could just be you me and Tyler going on a ride.
Maybe when I sell you the S2000 I'll just drive it up and fly home. But that would backfire, I'd fall in love
with it all over again and probably change my mind.
I don't know where any of my pics from photobucket are...during the divorce I had a bunch go missing, deleted, put on backup harddrive but not organized.
Annoying AF. I have a flickr folder called "photobucket failed us"
I do recall the V1 hardwire install being really easy though.

No worries. We have been doing a yearly trip the first weekend in November. This will be the forth year we are donig it so just wanted to let you know incase you were available. Definitely do another one sometime when you are available for sure. You would definitely be in love with the S2000 if you take it to the dragon. Maybe that is what you need to do though to fall back in love with it. Or maybe you just need the heat and humidity of summer to be gone.
No worries on the pics. I agree it does look easy. So I shouldn't have any issues. Sucks about all your pictures though. Trying to organize my shit right now cause I have like 6 different hard drives with pictures on from over the years with various states of backup on each one.

It's on the 12v hookup so it's convenient to tap it while my hand is on the shifter.
I don't want to lose that functionality but I don't want to wire a button up by the mirror.
I might just wire the detector and dashcam power to the mirror and run a flat cable down the pillar for mute.

Hate that the wagon fuse box is in the rear cause it will make wiring my dash cam that is coming a pain.
But at least you know something is coming and what signal it is. I need to get the V1 software update though so I stop getting the radar cruise control alerts.

Last I checked my update would cost almost as much as a new one. Fuck that shit!
Plus, I'm usually not speeding when I get tickets now, just laying down rubber and pipe.
So excited to get my friggn TB to see how differently the car drives...I wonder if I'll be throttling less to get moving and therefore getting better mileage?
the wagon just cruises so fucking nicely...I enjoyed driving it a lot on the way to work today. Even if I did have to stop for gas.

Get the hardwire cable for it and use a fuse tap from the drivers side fusebox on something that is on accessorie. The radar draws so little power it is something that will do no hard with using a fuse tap. Plus I believe the sedan fuse box is right on the end of the dash on the drivers side. Straight up the pillar and to the mirror mount radar easily.

I had mine updated approx 1-1/2 yrs ago and the Junk K Band Filter made a big difference, I mean I still get some false alerts but it is so much better.. I also picked up the V1 Connection which allows me to view the V1 on my phone via the app. I find this very useful because based on the parameters that are set you can tell pretty quick if it's a real threat or a false warning..
LOVE it!
