Hey Rage,

Why don't you make a roadtrip over here this weekend? Come down to the Dyno Day we're having in Seattle. Can you say, wideband O2 sensor and air:fuel plots?

I'd love to, but it's Valentines weekend, I think the wife would kick my *** if I suggested a 24 hour roundtrip drive to get the car dyno'd =). I actually got hold of someone that's willing to lend/rent me a wideband O2 sensor, just gotta get the CV joint sorted our first...

Rage2,

You can have an extra star from me if you tell me what lamps you used for the GT headlight conversion that you've done <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

I'll have to check with my mechanic. If I remember correctly, they were like GM lights or something. I'll double check.
