10 days old... have put 700 miles on her... installed the Steve Wong chip tonight... what a must upgrade... no regrets here... so much easier to drive down low... for you guys with the 95s this is a no brainer affordable upgrade...

stormed nicely here... the car has new Kumho Ecsta 4X that did great up to 80mph in the rain...

one of my fogs were burnt out... installed PIAA yellow fog bulbs replacements... makes me more visible in heavy rain... we don't get much fog here, but will try them when we do, or I drove some where that has it...

I have a 1995. What "down low" makes it difficult to drive? My 993 off idle is as easy to drive as my daily driver Honda.

What exactly does the chip do...technically speaking...ie, timing, fuel, etc.

Hmmm... I just felt that it was easier to sync clutch engagement, with a smooth throttle and take off without issue and with less shudder due to a smoother fuel curve and faster throttle response downlow... I haven't analyzed it more than that, but that's my inexperienced analysis... It wasn't dreadful before, it just seems better now...

Most 3.2 chippers report similar changes.

Fister Stage III arrive on Wed...

Ordered some T-Locks ( http://privat.bluezone.no/toreb2000/t-productsEN.html ) too many years of keyless entry has me spoiled... couldn't resist, especially after reading so many glowing reviews coupled with installation simplicity...

Wow RocketJohn, you are skiing down that slippery slope LOL

That's an impressive list of upgrades in a very short time!
