    Understanding VF correction issue (maybe?)

    Overview: I seem to be having a weird little tuning issue that I am trying to wrap my head around. I have done lots of reading on the TCCS and particularly the learned value correction (vf), but I can't determine which inputs may be causing my symptoms. Maybe my symptom is not directly caused by...

    paint color question

    So if you look closely on the rear wheel well i have a couple rust spots. Also the front driver fender is a different color white than the rest of the car (came this way from the PO).

    This is what happens...

    When you think you can get away with brittle parts instead of replacing them. From what I can tell it looks like when i put my accordian hose on in the dark last time I must have broke a good chunk of the hose off and clamped it inside there.... I didnt notice the car acting any different as...

    60-1 trim 7psi 20-60

    I wanted to post this video to get other opinions since I'm new to the 60-1. I feel like the car just doesnt pull like it should.

    Few side skirt questions

    Been searching around a little for some side skirts to throw on over the winter. I found a few different ones that look alright, but wanted to get a better idea of what all is involved in the install for these things. I'm sure some are better quality, and have better fitment than others. For...

    chasing intermittent signal to ecu (code 11)

    This is driving me nuts... When I drive the car 99% of the time it runs great, no problems whatsoever, no codes. Occasionally though and what seems to be at complete random the mil will come on intermittently and soon after the car will lose power and stall. (This is scary at 60 mph when the...

    So I will have my first start up this weekend after completing my build and I'm really starting to regret some of the decisions I've made.... I went down the lex/550/afpr/safc with 60-1 trim road. Of course among plenty of other things to support the setup but I went this way because I was...
