    It may have been only the earlier versions, before the issue was known. I am not sure. PM, or email him for more info.

    Help them, for they know not that which they do not know!

    Well I drove the Spyder around today and had a huge smile on my face the whole time. It's been a year since I've had this much confidence driving her and I'm reminded how much I really enjoy the car. It has taken almost 5 months to sort out all the little issues in the build. Of course part of that was being too busy to work on her.

    She's running very smooth now with the flash ECU. Low trims and mid trims are dialing in properly now. I had to pull fuel 10% in the sub 100 Hz area of the VE table and that did the trick. Also found the front turbo intake pipe clamp loose. She's running stiffer springs that just start cracking open at 12 psi so I haven't been able to really play with boost control yet. I ordered the IPS downpipe on BF and still waiting (order still says processing WTF?? ). Plan to go and get emissions tested before switching the DP anyway.

    The fun part though was just driving around with the top down and not really worrying about anything. I used to get a lump in my throat every time I turned the key to start her, then every time I took her out for a short loop around the block. Listening for noises and wondering why she didn't run right. But no longer. The suspension is awesome, new ECS and Tein springs, new ball joints and bushings. Brakes rebuilt again with new rotors and Carbotech AX6 pads. They dust more than the Porterfield R4S they replaced but stop the car extremely well even when cold. I don't think I would have gone off the runway with these bad boys.

    So suspension-check, brakes-check, and the motor is really just getting started. Plan to see how far I can go with 91 pump and then go for a 100 tune. I need to check if FSR has any flash tuning experience. Good times will be had

    Your making me jealous. So glad you're enjoying her. In my younger days I've had a couple convertibles and the best feeling is driving in the winter with the top down, can't wait to do that again.
