    So here's the basics: After sitting at work for 8 hours in the rain, Car starts and dies immediately, no CEL. After letting it rev to 3,000rpm for 10 seconds and let down slowly it holds an idle of about 350. Turning A/C on or off had no effect. Removing IAC had no effect. Unplugging the...

    O/R exhaust throwing code with Xcal

    With the Xcal3 I'm still getting the o/r exhaust SES light... I thought the tune was supposed to prevent this code from popping up? Or does everyone just keep clearing the code when it gets thrown?

    Mini Review of Xcal3 and bama

    Worth every cent. That mini enough for you? Seriously though, I wish this would have been my first mod (after exhaust). Tune is outstanding, bama really does know what they are doing. I supposed I can't really describe to you how much better it is, but this should be a good indication...

    Noob Tuning question

    This is as newbie a question as they come. I apologize in advance. First of all, do I need a tune, would I benefit from one (see sig for mods) Second of all, what are the best options for getting a tune? I know there are handheld tuners, but, can the dealership tune the car? Do you...

    Anyone have any shots with a typical drop (Eibach pro-kit for instance, ~1.5") without larger back tires or spacers? I've had the front springs installed for awhile now but have been hesitant to install the rear springs for fear of how it will look without big tires or wheel spacers...
