New DD: Project DurRTay-D

Yeah, it looks like once the salt infused snow melts on the bottom of your shoes/boots, its going to funnel it all right into the door jam area and into the plastic panels and rust out that area where some wires probably run too. Boo! can you maybe heat them up with a heat gun and form a lip there?

I don't think he planning on carrying buckets of snow and water in there.....

Why not?! He could store it up all winter, then water his garden with it in the summer!

Well earlier this week I got to play a game of bumper cars on the way to work. There was 6 of us and I was #4. Don't know what happened, but I suspect the young kid that started it was probably on his phone and slammed his brakes last minute on the highway and nailed this lady, which was then followed by people braking and swerving behind him. I unfortunately swerved right into a slick area and ended up nailing an Infinity G37. Felt a lot worse then it looks. Here's pretty much the only carnage I fan find. Crack in bumper under the headlight, and you can can see the corner of the bumper popped out from the fender area. Pretty light damage in the end. So I gotta bring her in to get fixed, but kinda bummed about it.

Maybe when I get it fixed, I'll have them add on the running boards I've been wanting, try to make something positive come out of this whole mess :)

The damage appears minor which is good. Let us know what the estimated damage is.

I may have missed it, but did you ever end up getting a handheld tuner for this beast?

[Halon]

I did not. I'm not too thrilled about it. It ends up costing around $1000. It's an entirely new ECU that is 'unlocked', and then a tuner will work with it. The 2015+ ECU's are just locked down so hard that the normal plug in tuner doesn't work. So then I have to swap in the stock ECU when I go in for warranty work. When I asked them about it being untraceable, their reply was a generic "I don't really see how they could trace it" which wasn't the definitive "NO" I was looking for. I found out it does absolutely nothing for the trans as far as better shifting. I found out it cannot disable AWD (for dynoing on a 2wd dyno for example). All it is is a basic engine tune. Just not worth $1000 for me, especially since they don't sound too confident that it is untraceable by the warranty nazi's. So it's pretty much completely off the table at this point. Next mod I'm looking at is running boards. But it'll be awhile for those.

[Kracka]

That is crappy about the 2015 ECU's being locked down so hard. Had you know this in advance, would you have opted for the 2014 R/T instead where it's a simple plug-in & flash handheld?
