  1. Happy you guys enjoyed. I miss having a REAL car scene. You would think cali would have better.....

     

    Cars and coffee consists of a bunch of exotic owners looking down on everyone with there laminated window stickers .... Great i get it you spent 200+k on your car.. but can you drive it do you likes cars or did you buy it to compesate for something else........

     

    #ColumbusRacing FTW

  2. The guy is selling off all he can, it seems. He is presumably in financial survival mode. CR watches, and relishes in the irony of his arrogance, to what he is going through.

     

    So on the flip side, what if you had to go through a catastrophic life style change? That's all I'm asking. The flip side is, the members here don't have the lies, business, and deception as factors for my question to them.

     

     

    I lost everything when my wife got sick :( I left a job i loved to do a job that paid more and i had to move in my parents basement. It sucks and if he's truly going through that i feel for him

  3. Did you tune with the AP? I downloaded COBB' free tuning software but I wasnt sure how good it was.

     

    I've Tuned subaru's with

     

    EcuFlash

    Ecuedit

    RomRaider

    AEM

    Cobb AP V2-3 (Fuck V1's)

     

    I've used the cobb free software and honestly last time I used it it had support for everything I needed to do the car.

  4. Can anyone say, with any certainty, who locally has the ablility and know how to pro tune a Cobb Accessport?

     

    I know IPS has/had it. But then didn't have a tuner who knew it after some people moved around. I'm sure CTD flipped the bill and bought the software. But, what's their status?

     

    In the end, if you're not doing your own work and tune, where do you find knowledge and consistancy to work on your car?

     

    I know that the Eric's own Cobb Software and so Does IPS. The end user can get Street tuner and use that if he wants.

  5. Planning on a wideband, and getting the Maf close even though that's more time consuming then a dyno. What kind of timing do these like on the conservative side?

     

    What size Turbo and what Intake I'll look in my old library and see If I got a scallar for you.

     

    Id start at 10 peak tq and work my way up.

     

     

    Just be careful of the DA make sure its set to 1.0 for all tuning sessions or else the car will be learning more timing as you go.

     

    As for the intake use the short cut from the cobb work sheet. Its just dividing the mm's and multiplying the offset. It will get you pretty darn close.

    If you stick to the cookie cutter builds you can just reflash but typically at that point you are going to need a custom tune update. The cost of a open source update vs a ap update should be the same at least it was back when i was tuning. Having an AP is nice for switching back and forth between tunes / boost levels or even fuel types.

     

     

    As for Scott helping.

    Make sure you pull timing from the base map. (4 degrees + post 1.8 load)

    0% all WGDC

    set target fuel post 1.8 to 10.5

    BABY THE CAR TO THE TUNER because the maf won't be scaled and its going to be way off.

  7. Was it this one:

    According to some forum posts he screwed that guy out of some money. All hearsay coming from me though, I just read the one thread.

     

    No it was a 4 door. I'll be honest I'd stay away from his tunes. He's not tuning these cars himself thats for damn sure.

  8. I've met this guy and hey gave me a super weird vibe. He talked about his tunes abut when i started talking tuning to him he was clueless. I was out in a CTS-V I was tuning and he was in a white MB talking big game.
  9. Not that it's anyone here's business, (although I wouldn't tell you jerks if I did something spiritual like Thorne did so I guess it's on him), but I knew Mandy too and I am sure she would be happy and supportive of him. What Thorne went through is a lot for such a young person and many spouses wouldn't have stayed or been as supportive as he was to her through YEARS of her being sick.

     

    Thanks Man,

    It was a hard road, I know she's in a much better place now. She suffered for so long and almost passed away on many occasions. The day she passed she made me promise I would not sit and wallow in despair. She told me this: "Bill Please don't cry I won't be there to wipe you tears, Please Move on with your life."

     

    It wasn't easy it was super hard and I feel like its part of the reason I had become to dark and bitter. I am not sure to be honest. What I do know is I feel like a different person now.

  10. You have belittled me and bashed me in the past. Said I was ignorant (verdict still out on that one) and a slew of other things. Now would be a good time to have an egotistical "I told you so" attitude...

     

     

     

     

    ...but I won't. I don't believe MY faith should be pushed on ANYONE. What I will say, as a known believer, is this: it takes a BIG man to publicly speak out like this. For THAT I applaud you. Not just for getting saved/baptized/whatever, but for trying to mend fences. Glad you have found some peace man.

     

    Thanks!

     

    It's not easy to admit your wrong but at the same time It's freeing. I'm sure Dr Rick would be tickled pink to read this thread.

  11. I'm a hard person to shock being an Electrician, but I was shocked to read that you have a GF with 2 kids less than 6 months after your wife passed. Tread lightly with change...

     

    You may be rushing certain things

     

    I understand your concern, had her and I not started this adventure as nothing more then friends and neither of us looking for a relationship I'd be more concerned. But honestly I've never met someone I can get along with the way I get along with her. We were Very close friends before we took the next step.

     

    Also something to keep in mind is my wife has been on the verge of Death for a while. It's not cool but its a reality that her and I had discussed in length.

     

    If I could ask my wife what she thinks of the new me and all the aspects of my life I would say she would be PROUD and happy for me.

  12. So, intsa family & religion all in one fell swoop? In other words, did you get into religion due to the new GF?

     

    At any rate, whatever makes you happy.

     

    No actually I didn't get into it because of the GF. I wasn't dating when I had my spirtual awakening. It honestly happened one night I was sitting home alone very depressed and I just had an epifany i guess. It was beyond anything I can describe easily. Put it like this I knew from that point forward I could no longer call myself a Atheist .

     

     

    As I progressed I joined a Life group and explored my spirituality.
