nice purchase on the cable. Could of done better on the mini laptop. Computers happen to be my thing =)

Asus or gateway would have been a better pick as far as reliable goes.

Thanks Ray!

Keith, I know there are much better, but I wanted something very lightweight and extremely portable for the car. That way I can stash it under the seat when not in use. It's hard to pass up a laptop for $249 brand new when it's just an extra one for the car.

Just thought I'd upload the videos from last Sunday's dyno runs. Enjoy!

**E_Emerson88** · 07-30-2010, 04:19 PM

**Galantfan88** · 07-30-2010, 04:21 PM

Very nice man keep up the good work

**00galantguy** · 07-30-2010, 05:21 PM

exceptional work man! I may have to take a trip out SOON! especially now that I have a dd with 40 mpg

**M-Rod** · 07-30-2010, 08:39 PM

Thanks guys. I'm really hoping to see around 15-20whp with a proper tune. I received my Tactrix cable the other day and logged for a few minutes and messed with settings in evoscan. I tried pulling the 01 GTZ ROM from my brother's car tonight and it wouldn't let me. So I'm stumped on the ECU swap for now. My extra ECU will have to sit until I figure out how to connect with my brother's car.

Travis! You're coming to the cookout, right? And what new DD are you talking about?

New engine bay shot from the cookout today. A few minor changes along with a bit of cleaning.

**4g63lover** · 08-28-2010, 10:46 PM

Engine bay is madd clean bro. I love the new filter.

**beam514** · 08-29-2010, 12:08 AM

nice and clean

random question: did you use a press to install your prothane inserts? I've been putting off buying them for quite some time

**M-Rod** · 08-30-2010, 07:20 PM

Thanks fellas.

Adrian, I ended up pressing mine in with a bench-top vise. They went in like butter with a little bit of all-purpose grease on them.

Oh. More new parts :)

**Galantman03** · 08-30-2010, 07:35 PM

OOOoooo. looking good bro! you have the complete set of brembos? or just the fronts?

**M-Rod** · 08-30-2010, 07:38 PM

Just the front pair. The price was right, and I can pick up the rears at another time.

**beam514** · 08-30-2010, 07:43 PM

damn you Matt!! haha ordering all these parts all over the place -___-

**M-Rod** · 08-30-2010, 07:46 PM

Hah. I've been holding off a bit since the 6G75 swap. Couldn't find anything worth spending money on until recently. People are finally selling all kinds of good stuff I want :)
