Thank you very much. Look forward to servicing your MR2.

Hey Brandon - that was me a little bit ago.

And yeah, it's a 1973 240Z but it has an evil 327 under the hood. Most Z's don't sound like that.

Today@AutoHQ 08/21/08:

1. Installed japanese wideband oxygen sensor (yeah, the software instructions were all in Japanese!) and HKS knock amp into 06' STI.

2. Getting calibrated for 116 octane tuning. Was planning to dyno tune but ran out of time setting up the car. (Kevin just rebuilt the transmission yesterday and put it back in the car this morning!)

3 Road tune was in progress, but after seeing police we decided to cut out the road tuning and reschedule dyno tuning.
