Does anyone have any info to the effect of a "G-FORCE CHIP"? If so is it as user friendly as they claim? Alan(FIG) Figliola

Tom,

Things are going well....I took my car to TC MotoroSports in Auburn to check out the suspension...after the little issue going over Snoqualmie Pass. They did a great job inspecting everything, installing the Torrington bearings, and corner balancing the car.

I need to figure out when to bring it down to you for a little more work on the tune and installing some new fuel rails....once they come in.

I hope all is well with you and the family! I recall seeing a picture of you and your son in your car. He looked pretty exited! Oh, and the car looked fantastic!

Cheers,

Jeff
