Open air calibrated the wideband, check the bolts on my radiator ducking I'm starting to make from aluminum, checked fluids, hoses, etc, then went for a drive to dial in fuel, stared at hydra software, scratched head, drive again, resist urge to stare at lap top while driving, got a funny look from a lady in a parking lot cause I had the hood popped with a lop top on the roof and cables going under the dash, funny thing is she didn't even ask if I was ok. Any car guy would wander over just to watch the kaos unfold. Parked car in the garage and currently typing and modding idle fuels curves. or trying. Poor NA doesn't get any love these days

I'm sure when it gets cold and the days get short I'll be back in the shop again. Heck, I have AC in the shop, so that isn't even an excuse.
That's actually quite funny, motivation will eventually come through boredom I guess.

Cleaned the whole car up and prepped it to go to get the body shop for a couple days. Had a streak of bad luck with some hit and runs, so they are getting fixed up.

I drove the NB to work and back today. Over the weekend, I installed a Kenwood head unit. I put in a Sony receiver last week, but my SONY SC1 Sirius adapter would not control the volume. It was the same level throughout the entire volume range, and was way too loud. CD, radio, iPod, all other inputs worked fine.

I spoke to a lovely woman in India, but surprisingly, she was not able to resolve the problem. Swapped in the Kenwood unit, the Kenwood KCASR50 Sirius adapter, and it worked with no issues. Sirius worked without a hitch, BA BA BOOEY!

Road tuning and idle tuning, one of these days I'll get the hang of it. Deleted the Cat today too. Long story short the old turbo seals were toast and blew *** loads of oil into my cat toasting it. The 3in is in the future so i'll have a cat agian for the eco ****'s.
