Not scheduled to go until today so thats probably why LOL. Im dropping it off this morning around 10am and my buddy will bring me back home. Since he lives near B3R and has nothing to do today he said he planned on going back and watching them run it and take vids. Depending on what time they think they might run it. I may watch but not knowing if they'll finish today or not and what time im not sure if I want to make the 45min drive back there with my car. If i knew they were going to be done today I could have my buddy pick me back up and bring me there to watch so i can bring it right back home.

Hopefully a buddy that lives near it will be able to get some vids though. Once I find out more Ill post it.

Picked up the truck on monday. We called it quits since they wont tune it until they can do a crank relearn to verify the cam position for vvt tuning. Crank relearn wont run until the ecu doesnt think its going 158mph at all times and in first gear. I had to decide whether tohave them tinker with it and try to figure it out while racking up a bill or figure it out mysefl and not owe them anything yet. I chose the later. Since the tune is for an auto its not seeing a vss signal from the tcm and defaults to 158mph still trying to figure it out. Since its a '10 colorado base tune Im trying to figure it out on the colorado sites. Theyve had a few successful swaps where it all works but none of the guys are responding on how they have it wired.
Buddy sent me this photo. its as far as they ever got. Could have atleast made a pull.
Oh and been working on this too

Going on a big poker run/ charity run tomorrow so I broke down and bought some better riding shocks, So much smoother even on #5 that I have them set right now intially. Hopefully itll help me hook up too. Could barely push in the Summit sport shocks that I took off even with my fat **** on them .

Went on a 160 mile poker/ scholarship fund run with a few guys at work. It was 95% bikes so I stayed at the end of the pack and was called the chase truck haha. Made 5 stops at different bars taking all back country windy roads. It was awesome and I recommend anyone who has a chance, to do it. Started out in our own little groups since everyone seemed to leave at different times but at the 2nd to the last stop everyone waited up and we all went to the final stop together (75+ bikes strong) for a big party. Had a blast.

Spent all last weekend being the designated driver at camp so I got to drive my buddies car for everyone since he had the only car, It was a 07 Acura TL-S
Im going to have to add that to the list of possible cars, Only gets 22/30 for gas mileage but damn is it a sweet ride, 6sp manual, just under 300hp 3.5L v6, brembo brakes all around, Leather power everything and navi. Same price as the above list but its also older 07-08 and 50-70k miles, Time will tell,
Other then that just been cleaning up the old rusted brakes on the maxima. Cleaned them all up polished the pins, and sliders and greased the heck out of them, Every single caliper had one siezed pin so they should work better now.
