Man Pascal, if you were around here, I'd give you some work. FL is just a little too far lol.
Yeah but with green grass and plenty of sun, it's almost worth the trip!

To OP- Hope your car can get fixed soon!

I just ordered a brenspeed custom tune today. Everyone seems to get much better MPG, I run about 17.3 but I do mainly local/suburban driving and it's an automatic. I don't expect to see MPG increase from the tune, but sure can't wait to see what else it does to my pony.

Its not that Im looking to gain mpg's I just dont want to LOSE much more. I am looking to jump to a CAI/Tune but talk about "my MPG's Fall like a rock" give me cold feet.

Ive ran the canned tunes, 93, 93 firmer shift, K&N tune, K&N firmer shift. The best MPGs were with the the 87 tune. With any tune with just about any type of driving its about 19 mpg. Highway and/or city. I need a wideband, No cats, Duels, and a real dyno tune.

I don't think it's totaled... no structural damage.

Damn those red light runners.
I'm always cautious when passing intersections, always ready to maneuver, especially the larger ones. Where abouts in MD?
