    Dave.O I've had the Innovative wide-band for years and it seems to work fine.

    You are in California right? That’s why.

    Yes i'm in California. You know it would almost be cheaper for me to ship my car to you for a detail than have it done here.

    Yeah, we have bad weather here, all 4 seasons for months at a time. Those innovative wide band units do not last long and fail a lot. My car is tuned to run off the wide-band and it’s directly connected to my Vipec/ Link ECU along with the + Methenol Maps at the touch of a button.

    A failing or temperamental wide-band is not ideal so the Innovative went in the trash and the Zeitronix Zt-2 +Zr-1 AFR gauge went in to replace it.

    Well, I sold the 05 R53 to one of the guys over at Auto Assets. He’s already getting it torn down for a new clutch, which it needed. Other than my wife’s Countryman, I’m MINILESS ( for now). 1st Gen G.P. anyone?

    Put the cover on the R58. Had a trip to Reno today. Tomorrow when I get home I may be going to look at a car. If I like it I will have to part with something black.

    Something interesting showed up for sale here. It’s ether a scam or a good deal. My money right now is it’s a scam but I have not heard back from the seller.

    Nothing happened to it. Still looking around. The way the stock market is performing investing in the right cars is a no brainer.

    Well, hell, why not buy back the Helmet, too, from Lee while you're at it? Make it a trifecta.
