Not to be a bad guy, but I just ordered the rain visors also...

Hey Billy, that Chargespeed Bodykit was less than HALF the price of your Chargespeed Vortex Generator...your the nOOb!! I don't plan on having this SZ55 fully setup and tuned for Limerock...no way....I am shooting towards August.

Irishsti · 04-13-2007, 08:17 AM

Damn you Chris, I can't wait to see the rain visor!

Well some updates:

I had a problem with my Cusco E-Con, seemed that when the car turned on, the E-Con would turn on, do its sequence with the stepping motors, then 10 seconds later. First thing, I wired it wrong, nope. Check wires again, still the same thing. Hmmmm, defective? I thought maybe somehow it got damaged when I bought it from a member here. He stated that it worked fine on his car before he shipped it to me. Hmmm, I called up Nukabe, and talked to Chad (Need anything Cusco, Tech Support, etc....he will take care of you, TRUST ME!). He tells me to check the wiring. Red is for power, black the ground, and the Orange is for Illumination. Ok, I had it to a ignition wire, so I switch it, nope same thing. He gets someone to contact Cusco in Japan, and the info they send back in Japanese, this guy will translate and send the info to him. Well, in the meantime, he goes to their Cusco STi that Cusco put parts on, and plays with its E-Con. Problem, Cusco invented this feature for the E-Con called Valet Mode: Basically, in this mod, the system turns on, does its sequence, then 10 seconds later turns off, so the other person in the car can't adjust the damping etc. Solution?!?! Push and hold the two Mode Adjust buttons for 4-10 seconds.......the unit will turn back on and show F1 R1, and thats it! Thanks to Chad from Nukabe for all the help and quick assistance!!

In other news, I am hopefully going to have a Spec-C Roof vent by the end of this month. I am working with Adam from Z1 Auto with some goodies I will be buying for something really sweet for the inside

. About the SZ55 Turbo setup, I will be eventually ordering something for that next week or so. I am in no rush to go buy everything and install and tune yet. With the suspension working a lot stiffer now (

), the car feels great with the power. I know I will want more, but Limerock is coming, and I want to really enjoy driving there, so some other mods are needed. Don't worry, mods for the turbo setup will come!!!! I am just about half way there too.

Oh yah, Rain Visors come in this Friday

!

What day are you going to lime rock Chris? I know you are going to tape and/or take pictures...right?

Chris05STi · 04-19-2007, 04:45 AM

I am going on June 22nd and 23rd. The 22nd I will tape, take pics, study the track, and hopefully catch some shotgun rides. The 23rd, I take my car and go on the track

! $325 for one day

.

spikbeatz · 04-19-2007, 04:48 AM

Oh yeah thats right. I was GOING to go the same weekend but my friend is getting married that same weekend so I told him I would just go another weekend up there and go his wedding. I know, I know. He is really close friend and lime rock will always be there, you only get married once(well in his case twice). LOL

spikbeatz · 04-19-2007, 04:49 AM

Let's not have another run in with the track this year. We don't need the other side of your car to hit the curb and spin 180 degrees.

Chris05STi · 04-19-2007, 05:29 AM

*Knocks on wood*

Yah yah, well I have wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better suspension mods this year, and I know what to do if I get the tires on the grass, LET OFF THE GAS and coast on out, then get back onto the track eventually at LOWER SPEEDS! Hey it was only at about 80'ish, maybe 70'ish when I spun that 180 degree, but atleast I learned.....the nice way!!
