I got my car in the shop waiting for them to get a spot on the dyno so they can tune the car. They told me the car should be done tuning yesterday and today, it should have been done this morning. I called them at noon and they told me, the people who had the car there before ran into problems so they kept their car on the dyno still. The shop is getting the dyno tomorrow morning... I hope. The shop sucks because they don't call you to let you know the status and that pisses me off because I am stuck home without a car...

Shop in Busch... they are done... for now. Injectors are installed and they bolted down some things I needed to get bolts and tighten down but have to take out some things causing it to not build oil pressure causing the VTEC not to work correctly. I have to replace the Intake manifold sensor as well so they can see the intercoolers temperature. They also took out the jumper wire that keeps the radiator fans on and checked out the cooling system for free. I'm gonna be at the meeting today... so, hit me up there... A big sign on my windshield that says "team INERTIA" that's me. White S2000 with staggered dark metalic gray rims. Laters

RI Automotive... have to find a Intake manifold temp sensor and remove the oil cooler not needed on and he takes it back to trouble shoot the vtec. He cannot go beyond 230whp because vtec is not working right. Oil cooler could be causing the oil pressure not to be building up right. I don't know. That's what they are telling me.

Ah. I believe Colin still uses Proven Power for the dyno. Makes sense now.

R.I. Automotive is top notch. No worries there at all.
