With dog in car, I didn't bother taking logs and tuning on the way home. So no real boost yet.
Normal driving... i get almost 0 fluctuation in temperatures. The real test is on track though, hopefully thats where the setup shines.

my dog loves boost. he puts both his front paws on the pass door, and rests his head on the sideview mirror. and I gun it.
he used to stand up on the seat and put his paws on the top of the windshield, but he would fall over a lot.

When I start to tune it and such, I prefer to have the laptop open next to me for random checks, then datalogs and then work. Dog in car = not conducive to getting that done.

So I got lucky at the junkyard the other day and picked up some "beauty" items.
Clean red passenger fender
Red doors! No more orange
Red finish panel ( couldn't believe it was on the car)
Also picked up another set of wheels for it. Something to use for trackwheels once I run outta rubber on the panasports. Everybodys favorite wheel!
If I get motivated tomorrow, I'll put the stuff on (minus the wheels). No more fender mirrors, as they were a fix to a bad door setup. Back to normal manual mirrors. And if i get them all on, I'll update pics some.

Since people seem to only care about pics....
Added everyone's favorite wheel (came with 205s, being all seasons I gave them to the wife, her 195s came to them so i could peddle around)
Headlight covers 90% done (final fitment needed)
A few daytime exhaust pics
