Looks great, Dan. **** those *******s at Big-O. I'd find out who the Tech was that drove it, and leave his car on cinder blocks. No respect for others' property.

Holy ****, Ali....how did you not kill the little ****?

I have a small data recorder as well. 'bout the size of a roll of 35mm film & plugs into the OBDII port.

Oh, I'd follow up that signed letter with a certified letter to Big O Corporate.
That way, when the POS manager is fired 5 years from for doing coke off a dead hooker's ***, you won't have to hear, "Sorry, but he doesn't work here anymore."

Can a standard "cheap" ($120) OBDII reader keep track of peak values, or is that only a function of certain types of OBD readers?

Where would you buy one of the DIN sized OBII meters? That's a nifty gadget!

Buy it. You know you want it

What a ****ing dick. All this time breaking it in gently and some ******* take it up to 100+. A free alignment should have been mandatory.

Hahahaha, SWEET! Thanks for the info. I agree with the free alignment, but may I add that that f**king place should pay for ANY problems with your engine within the next... let's say... YEAR? Demand it! If someone can sue Mcdonalds for coffee "being TOO hot", then I think this would make a great case!

my turbo timer stores data like that too.

i just stood out in front and waited to hear the SSQV when he was on the post alignment test drive, he was nice to her.

i would have demanded reimbursment and that he was fired on the spot. that is unacceptable.

Car Info: This aint a bag. It's a shipment.
Here's what I would do:
rev limiter set to 4200 with a differential of 200 (larger diff. produces a harsher limiter)
Boost and wasgate DC tables set to 0 (wastegate pressure only)


Otherwise how about this?
Can you machanically hold the wategate open somehow? Wonder if the ECU would freak. Then set the shift light to 4000 and turn the beeper on.

lol how far did he drive on that road test? Unless a car lost a fight to a curb or has crap tires, you really only need to go around a block to know if the alignament is good or jacked...

It would have been hard not to run in the back and flying kick the asshat who drove my car... I would definately escalate things though, get some mula outa it....free alignments for life... tires for life... something....and report them to the BBB maybe
