These look badass no doubt but not sure they'll be good for a DD. The dirt and grime will start to show and they won't look so good. JMO.
Ray-Count me in for this Saturday. Bill, Jed can I hitch a ride with one of you?

Wierd..
Started the BAP install over the weekend. When I peeled back the conduit on the FPDM plug, there's a birdnest of exposed wires!
I haven't looked into it further than what you see in the picture. Why anyone from the factory left it this way, then just covered it up is beyond me.

Quality is job one.

After fully warming up, it idles just over 750 (the 750 line is barely seen under the tach needle).
Turn A/C on - it lowers the RPM to right at 750, then goes back up to where it was, just over 750.
Turn A/C off - it raises to about 800 and then goes back to just over 750.
Which makes sense. The A/C causes a load when the compressor turns on, so the idle drops for a second before the car can compensate by raising the idle back to normal. When you turn it off, it takes a second to stop compensating.

Jon-Like everyone else has stated I idle at 750.
FYI Everyone-Looks like my first chance to test the new wheels out is May 17th at Barona. It's a Saturday so maybe some of you Socal guys can come down. If not I'll see if I can get the wife to come down and shoot some video.
BTW-Looks I might be scoring a set of 17x8 take offs for $135.

Your idle speed is a variable in the tune. If end-user adjustability is left turned on in the tuner, you can adjust this yourself. I have one speed setting for neutral and the other for drive.

Please use a tripod when shooting. Seems like 99% of track videos I see are bouncing all over the place.
Hey, want to use the Sticky Pod?

Yes. For me it's only a 15-20 minute drive. For you guys it would probably be about a 2 hour drive.
I'll have to call Barona and see if they'd allow something to be haning outside the car. Is it possible to have it mounted inside?

You can, but it'll have to mount on the rear glass. Shooting from in-car, Jed's headrest bar is the way to go for easy access to the camcorder.

Jed-Where'd did you get that headrest bar and how much was it? If it's some ridiculous price can I borrow it.

Brian, Luis, anyone considering going to the track in the future. Might want to keep an eye on this thread.

Anyone know the best place to score some mudflaps? (Don't worry I only want them for the track.) Best I found was Partscheap.com for $47.
