So i went to send all my scan files off to Blackbear this morning, forgot i needed a OEM tune file. I got a code, so the PCM/ECM may be locked. Previous owner could have who knows what kind of tune on there currently. Either way my main priority is getting the speed limiter off. 80 mph comes up before i even know it.

Yesterday in between the rain, i did get a chance to give it a good wash. and did a minor cleanup on the paint. the good news is i will never care where i drive this thing. the bad, the paint is rough. it shined up well with a light compound. but chips, scratches, even some weird spots of almost cracking. the targa top looks awful, so i think that will eventually get a wrap. and the one fender with clear coming off is limited to just that one panel. so i should be able to shoot that one myself without issue.

Thanks for all the greetings, glad to be here.
