I?m pretty sure gas everywhere has ethanol in some percentage or another. I also think that the octane rating is the most important factor. That said, I haven?t re-gapped my plugs, but now that RaceChip is recommending it, I plan to. I sorta feel like those of us who bought our RaceChip...

They have.. only one that I know of. A guy from Canada running 91 octane had some misfires. I?ve got a RaceChip, and haven?t had a single issue in well over 500 miles. I have 93 octane available where I?m at though.

Sounds like a plan!

I usually just shake it off.. It seems to soak up dust and pollen and continue to clean for a long while. That said, the brush part has a removable cloth sleeve that can be washed in a washing machine. I want to say that you should avoid liquid fabric softener when washing, the same way one...

Thanks! It's certainly better than without anything at all, but pollen is imbued with the devil's magic and is impossible to totally repel. I have a thing called a California car duster (you can get it at Walmart) that gets the pollen (or dust) off like magic. Takes about 5 minutes to get the...

So this weekend, I washed her and topped off previous work with a coat of Griot?s Best In Show Carniba wax..

I?m curious.. have you tried driving the car in comfort mode with the chip? If so, how is that? I ask because the RaceChip site claims a significant increase in fuel efficiency.. also, I find comfort mode to be just a tiny bit on the sluggish side. It?d be nice if the chip would pep it up a bit.

Then it's a good thing I ordered mine today [clap]

According to the CarPros website, this coating (if multiple layers are applied) should last about 2 years. I've had it on my Camaro for 8 months now and its still going strong. Just my personal opinion... If your dealer is only charging $300, they aren't doing it right. The most important...

That's pretty much it. I've found that it really matters what products you wash with. I used Meguiars deep crystal car wash to remove dirt. Then I sprayed down with Iron-X to remove contaminates - then clay bar. After that I used a medium cutting pad with Meguiar's 105 to remove swirls...

I couldn?t resist adding one more..

Thanks Phil.. lots of detailers use a clay bar to remove contaminants from the surface of the paint. It?s literally a special type of clay that can be purchased online. It?s a pain to use, but the results were very good. If I?m being honest, I?d say that it is a less important step when...

I had a little time on my hands this weekend so I finally got around to applying a ceramic coat onto my car. First I washed and then clay barred the car. I used a Porter Cable 7424 random orbital polisher with a Lake Country 5.5 inch orange cutting pad and Meguiar?s 105 cutting compound for...

So from my experience, reflashing the ECU allows the tuner to adjust more parameters than just boost. If the tune is done right, timing is adjusted throughout the rev range.. and not just at at WOT.. at every percentage throttle. Same for volumetric efficiency (fuel/air) at all rev/throttle...

Love it! Sounds great, but not overkill and definitely not ?ricer?.

I absolutely love Reload from Car Pros.. it?s super easy to apply and it still beaded for 6 months on my Civic. The shine looks great too. I used it in conjunction with CQuartz UK on my Camaro (Black). And it makes washing a breeze.

There?s something to be said for piggybacks that are undetectable for those who would really like to keep their warranty.. I think that flash tunes are the hands down better choice for quality, but I like the idea of a dealer not trying to make me pay for a repair that would have otherwise been...

That sounds amazing!

Looks great.. I?m dying to hear a sound clip!

Nice! What trim level is that? And did you use launch control?
