Makes more sense to just take that $1000 and put it towards the trade in on a 2008 6MT. Then you can just get a normal flashpro and go....lol

Yeah, I understand the timing may not be perfect, but thought you should at least know as it'd reduce the overall cost of getting it since you wouldn't have to pay for a tune.



Fair enough. The mods you have now would just transfer to a new one if you so wanted...
I actually did order a aluminum stubby to replace the rubber roof mount antenna (that I still cannot find-black hole under the passenger seat) and got exactly what I wanted without issue. +

However, they did not respond to my on-line request for info regarding the reflash (3 months ago). And why would I give HPF my hard earned money$ to then turn around and ship my ECU to Hondata. If HPF took it out of the car and shipped it for me, then I could understand. It's a matter of principal.



And I'm a cheap bastard. Just ask my lady.

Have you tried this novel thing called a telephone?

And yeah, Gallardo's catch on fire all the time. Pretty standard stuff. Their cooling systems are way under powered. But that is pretty damned stupid.

Yeah it's that engine lol. When they tried to stuff that in the back of the R8, they kept catching on fire under testing. Audi did a bunch of work to try and prep the v10 to at least be semi reliable in the R8 since it was under their badging...lol.

Not much to be had here. Bunch of shit-bags and foreign students. Did see a GT-R in the garage yesterday. The guy was in it at the time unfortunately. Never seen it before.

College students beat the shit out of their cars. They are full of old McDonald's bags/wrappers and have dented fenders.

hahaha

Early last year, my buddy Adam and I were driving up to Vancouver to pick up some car parts. I was driving and we were in my 400hp FG (which I generally drove way too fast in). As we're going over the Markham bridge, I notice a distinctly alcohol like-watermelony fragrance fill the car. I was confused and figured it was Adam's gum or something. Turns out, his "water bottle" was filled with Grey Goose and he'd been downing it while I was driving.

If I'd gotten pulled over on that trip... I'd have been so screwed.

He changed that too. Shaved the rear reflectors. Mine need lots of work back there and Carrie just smacked the lower front bumper on the curb, so both ends need work. She is having a hard time with the learning curve on driving a real car. The steel wheels on the Accord didn't get curb rash. Very frustrating for the guy who gets the repair bills!

yep. Again, with me it's the principal. If I said be careful when you park next to the curb, she should have got the message with the first scrape. I'm no angel, but I think because I've had nice cars in the past I'm a little more careful.

Name is "hb2nv" (Hillsboro to North Vancouver?) in Photobucket but there is no listing here on AZ. There's a M3 in the garage and a TL on the street so I'm guessing they upgraded.

It's more how women percieve cars. See to a woman (most women, not all) a car is merely a method of transportation. It has no real value beyond that and a few scratches, scrapes, dents whatever doesn't matter since it still does the job of delivering them from point a to b and occasionally c if she's having an affair

Men on the other hand, we look at cars as a display of power, wealth and penis size. I scratch, dent or scrape on our cars shows weakness, lack of power and all in all correlates loosely to a small penis size.

Good excuse to get new wheels now say it bent the wheels a little and its causing small air leak

Yep. Plus we've just been arguing in general so I'm looking for excuses to nit pick at her because she is always doing it to me.
Like this weekend when she asked me to clean off the coffee table in the family room. Then, standing right next to me at the time, she asked me if my hands were full, while my hands were full of shit that belonged in the bathroom and office.
