I do have aim, but because I have a mac for some reason it logs me out every couple of minutes..
i'll shoot you a message in a sec though

 

This winter i might do high flow cats, and apparently if i do, i need a tune. So i guess i know where to go.

Let me find out what plenum spacer i need and i'll shoot you an email and see if you guys can get it. Thanks!

 

BTW, i have aim.

AIM=WannabeSS91

 

I think I got an aim from you yesterday but didn't catch it till it was too late!

 

So whats the deal with e85? Why are you tuning specifically for it?

The recent mixing of gas has made my MPG take a shit lately. I drove to WI on a random trip and found unmixed 92 and my milage on that take was 340mi compared to my norm of 250-270.

Is it just less explosive? and therefore better for turbo apps because it doesnt detonate? Just curious.

 

Yes for sure when.

 

Hey Matt I am going to do full synthetic. Got agreat dealon Amsoil full synthetic. Synthetic filter plus oil 0W20. Has anyone heard positive feed back for Amsoil.

 

I was in Ixtapa.

 

Razzi are you going. This is close to my house. Anyone else giong?

 

I hear a lot of praise about Mobil/Royal Purple/Amsoil... so I believe its good stuff. Ive only ever used Royal Purple myself so I cant vouch for the others, but Amsoil should be one of the top-of-the-line consumer level oils.

 

I'm in, just need a time, date and of course the location.

 

I highly recommend ENEOS Oil. On our dyno a WRX picked up 7hp just from an oil change. I keep it in stock along with filters for the TL.


Eneos is a GREAT oil. Everytime in my evo when I go to change the oil its still right up at the line!


BTW, the TL catch can kits will be available by the end of next week!


E85 is 106Octane and burns cooler. Colder burning fuel = colder air. Colder air/combustion makes for more power.

E85 is currently 1.69 per gallon. E85 uses about 30% more fuel, so this will decrease your MPG to high teen's but it's pretty much race gas for 1.69.


**Because of the 30% more fuel needed to run e85 PLEASE DO NOT PUT THIS IN YOUR CAR UNLESS YOU ARE TUNED..



Also, we use e85 in pretty much all our cars. It made over 100hp on a EVO we tuned here couple weeks back!

wait keeping all other constant you made 100 hp off of switching fuels? my god

the meet is this sunday at the maplewood mall jermaine, theyre getting together at 1 and then gonna go for a cruise. it's cold as feck today so i'm pretty sure this is the last week people are gonna go out. and everyone's gonna winter their cars after this anyway

 

Yea, we switch fuels and retuned. Same PSI and everything made 100hp.

 

thats crazy..
how much total would switching cost?

 

We would have to find out a good source of tuning. The Neo supposedly doesn't work because the ECU will relearn and overrun the neo.

I'm thinking though with E85 it will be so severe of a change the the ECU will not have enough power to overrun the neo and will run with the neo.

 

Lol...this is my only car so I'm gonna drive it all winter.

 

TS_Vaj - Have any pictures of your car?

 

Me and some Gs might go for a cruise on sunday.

Im hitting up uni as well this weekend.

If you guys want to meet up, i'll come on over, but im not going to go to the honda one.



BTW any of you have a silver TL with a lip and tint? I saw one in Eden Prairie yesterday drive by kinda by highway 5. Looked famliar.

 

might be takata, he's got a silver 3rd gen lipped out and tinted

 

HAHAH That was me! lol..


What were you in?

 

I live in Eden Prairie.

 

does that mean tuning a tl is pointless?

 

No it means that were going to have to rely on AEM F/IC for tuning or whatever I can come up with. I have some spending money around so I'll see what I can come up with!

 

It looked like the one shown in Takatas avatar. It was not an 03.

You should show me that thing some time. What side do you live on? Im on the north end by Minnetonka.

 

I don't have any besides the ones in my profile gallery. I'll try to get some shots of the car one of these days in there.

 

Photoshoot soon? We should do one before it gets ice outside.

 

Well its calling for snow already this weekend!

 

How much more fun will it be in the snow in a rear-wheel drive car? I can't wait!

 

im down fora shoot whenever

 

I posted a couple of times in early summer, but been busy at work since then (trying not to be one of those people that get laid off in these hard economic times). Anyways I ended up buy an 06 Mazdaspeed 6 instead of an 04-05 TL. Since I cant find a Speed6 forum that is local I'll just continue to hang out here and troll this one. BTW does anyone know of a nice empty space where I can drive my car. I'm working on getting my shifting down so I don't kill it every time I'm at a light or stop sigh. Thanks in advance.

 

Yea until i skid off the road into a nursery and my car explodes and kills hundreds of babies....

Its more just that if its cold, its top up, which sucks

 

mnmazda.


Im down for a shoot, if you dont mind a G

 

Aldrich arena is pretty dead most of the time. I don't think anybody would mind if you went to practice driving there. I went there once after I came outta best buy and parked in the middle of the lot and changed out all my speakers lol.

 

just want to check, who all is doing the honda meet this sunday?
potential plans?

friday- University, if not to cold or whatever? pic opportunites for everyone who wants to though?
sat- seafoam or I might just go check out MAP, hopefully install those footwell leds..
sun- honda/acura meet (chance to take pics?)

no one is likely to be able to or want to make it to everything, but at least we can get some time in before it starts dumping snow.

 

Friday - no plans, free josh? I'll buy some chickens and utilize your cooking skills .
Sat - Wash the car again, maybe a second layer of wax. Patch hole in my top, wash n wax wheels. various other small things... maybe play some grand theft auto 4
Sun - meet up in evening with some local s2000 folk at Rock Bottom and let them pick my brain about autoX. wanna join Josh?

 

SLepy, you want to meet up at uni tonight?

 

Man, I was totally thinking of calling you the other night to see if you wanted to use the pad in exchange for playing with the cats while we are in STL. We left last night, got here at about 2AM and as usual, it rained on us all the way through Iowa. Oh well, I'm gonna go drive me some Rx-8s while I am down here, if I find a good enough deal I might just bring the 8 back and leave the TL here...

 

I'm actually pretty busy tonight, and I can't miss my football on Sunday. Actually, I'm busy tomorrow night too - but I'd like to make something happen during the day?

Anyone up for something on Saturday? Maybe we can meet up at your place Lude (is it adam?) and get your projects done and maybe wash a couple cars while we're there.

Let me know - with all this talk about snow, I don't know how much time we have left.
