Hey Glen.

Alas, I sold the IS about a month ago.

Will be back amongst the crew in the near future, hopefully

In any case, here is what I dyno'd with "conservative" tuning that day. My car had the following at the time:

- stock wheels
- K&N FIPK
- HKS Adjustable Cam Gear
- HKS Drager 2
- S-AFC2
- Tek Grounding Kit

Sorry, I don't have a baseline for the car before the bolt-ons.

Here's a short vid I captured with my digicam (so it's a little lo-fi )

I had a feeling you guys were going to DSR. Glen, if you've decided when you may tune the IS, then let me know. I wouldn't mind driving down to observe if it's on a weekend. The dyno should be done in 4th gear for the 1:1 ratio.

I'll try to make it to the actual dyno day as well.

Unlike my last time at a dyno with you guys, this time I'll actually be somewhere on that chart.
Hope it's not at the bottom.

Being the NorCal meet coordinator, there are two peaves I have:

1. Every time we post pics of some nice cars, people don't wanna bring their stockers, etc.

You just don't know how stock some of these cars were when they first started attending our meets. It takes time and money and inspiration, WE KNOW.

Don't be ashamed, be proud to represent and get inspired to mod your car.

That's what these meets are all about.

2. Every time we post pics after a meet is over, people say "gee I missed a good meet, wish I went".

Either way, I can't win can I ?

Also being a newbie, if you attend, you will be rewarded with a hefty discount coupon good for those first set of mods !

Just check out how different rominls car is in this picture below, compared to the pics he posted on post # 11 today.

This was at our EOS V1 meet back in 2002!

You've come a long way baby!
