I was checking the GPS location of my car this morning and it looks like it's out on a road test. That'd be good news.

What kind of gps tracker do you have in your car?

I bought a Zoombak. I've found some cheaper alternatives since I purchased it so I'll switch to something else when the one-year subscription is done.

Zoombak was designed more for snoopy parents that want to monitor their kids, rather than just for theft tracking. The plus-side is that you can open a web browser and ping the thing whenever you are bored (I have an IT job, so that's altogether too often).

So was your car out on test runs?

Is it/was it on the dyno today?

No word from Shane. He probably came in early today to spend a little time on it.

The ID2000 injectors are installed and they did a boost leak test. It sounds like we're still on track for the tune by end of business on Friday. Works for me.

Hope things go well so you are able to go to the Monday track day. I was at the BMW event this past weekend on the long course and had a blast.

Just remember to keep all four on the ashphault ;)

Radiator hoses hold up this go-around? TTM has one date with the long course...that'll be fun. I've obviously never gone flat out in 5th before.

I've asked Shane to give me two tunes--an aggressive one for numbers and a pretty darn tame one for my HPDE days. I'll probably just run the tame tune 99% of the time. I'm not Ryan Gates or anything. lol.

Tame tune? Pssh, lame :)

I've got a ton of new parts on a car that hasn't been pushed that hard yet. I'm wondering about heat management (now that I have a tubular without a heat shield) as well.

The stock brake fluid isn't a good thing at this point, either. Need to see if scheides has time next week to supervise stainless line install and a fluid flush.
