Yeah, it’s relatively easy. After flashing back, it only takes 1 or 2 drives for the monitors to go through their thing and become ready. Then get the inspection and flash the tune back on.

You should have heard the guy who I worked with at the MAC. He has the same sentiments about how meaningless the laws are. Like why are we worried about a handful of people modifying their cars among all the jets, trains, and industrial polluters?! I wonder how many catless downpipes it would...

You should be fine if everything is CARB approved.

Either a cloned stock ECU or just flashing the factory software once per year for inspection should work the same I believe.

That’s what I don’t know, but what I've read is that a car will pass with unique software once, but if it’s still unique the next year, it will get flagged. The inspector that I dealt with said something similar as well. I don’t know why it’s done that way, but my guess is that if the state...

Unfortunately, I think the party is over. From what I’ve read on various forums, MA has pretty much adopted California’s emissions standards, and is now recording calibration ID and verification data. I know for a fact that they are recording this data at every inspection. I tried getting...

Can you imagine going 25k miles between oil changes?! These oil companies are 1 step away from claiming that their oil will never need to be changed again.

I think you should try and get a replacement or a refund. If half the point is having the CF exposed to admire, I wouldn’t settle for having to paint it, not to mention the extra expense of painting. I wouldn’t let them off the hook so easily.

I have not tried it, but I’ve read great things about it.

I’m never going back! And if you make me, I’ll lock myself in my mom’s Ford Tempo again while the cops yell at me and attempt to jimmy the locks, but can’t because I’ve got a hand on the drivers lock and a foot on the passenger lock. But I’ll give up once the clock says school is over for the...

Edit for accuracy: this sample was actually Valvoline Advanced, not EP. I was mistaken when I filled out the form. The Valvoline Advanced sample maintained its viscosity much better than my previous Valvoline EP sample, but it also had about 1,200 miles less on it, and it looks like a different...

lol! That write up for the JB4! What a crock of shit! I agree with @Cueyo, I wouldn’t touch that product with a 10 foot pole.

I have had the same noise and under the same conditions for as long as I can recall (27k on the odo now). I think what we are hearing is just gearbox chatter since there’s no load on anything in neutral, and we have a lightweight, single mass flywheel that does nothing to dampen those sounds. I...

Nobody could ask for a better explanation! Thanks for taking the time to educate us.

My last test of the same oil did show some viscosity drop, but also had about 1,200 miles more on it. I have PUP in the engine now, which I will have tested when I change it.

Looks good for Valvoline ep!

Sporky, whaaat’s happening? Listen, we’re putting cover sheets on all the TPS reports from now on. Did you see the memo about this? 🤣 such a great line! My boss and I were recently laughing about the toll booth scene. “Someone has to go back to town and get a shitload of dimes”. You guys...

If I were you, I’d be looking to upgrade my job to DT of jet engines. Don’t you want to throw frozen chickens into turbines spinning at 10k rpm?!

There is one feeling that might be better, but at least your parts don’t get upset when you fall asleep right after installation.

@Winpildeu, is this a street tune or was it made with track use in mind?
