Win!A surprise was waiting for us when, out of curiosity, I cracked open the ECU to make sure the chip socket was the same one as the chip I had ordered from Techtonics.
I saw this and blurted out, "Well, f**k me! Yo, check this out!"
Same exact chip I ordered. Not bad, saves me $100 on the build that can go to other maintenance stuff! Contacted Techtonics to arrange the return of the new chip I ordered.
Going to go back and clean it up later?Engine harness pulled out of raintrays & stock engine bay routing. It's like the engine's nervous system is now exposed. (I know, "wire tuck! wire tuck!" but we don't have time. If only...)
Oh man, that's what I should have ordered the other day...it's getting harder and harder to get a non-light beer at a restaurant. I pointed at Michelob on the menu and said "Michelob, the regular one, not light or ultra" and was brought a Mich Ultra. Does Dos Equis even offer a light version?
At first I thought I was looking at some kind of belt. Man, that's one bald freakin' tire!Bonus pic:

Apparently, this is what happens when you do a 5k rpm launch, carry the wheelspin through 1st and chirp into 2nd...on tires that were already bald to begin with.
