Thats cool... mine is usually in hiding at the new building. I used to see a black WS6 in the morning on my drive in I lived in E.P. but now that I am back over by West Peoria I take RT6.
I was just asking about the Tune cause back in the day and while Rob was still in Peoria I used to help him out with some of the tuning but I moved on to my own thing and they moved out there. I haven't been out there yet to check it out.... maybe some day.

I occasionally see this black Camaro on my drive home, guessing it's leaving Cat. I take rt29 to rt6 then to 474 to get to work. Was it possible that I've seen you at Rob's? Only rember this kid with a blue WRX. The shop in Canton is bigger, he's still trying to get 1 or 2 two post lifts. Currently only has the dyno/lift to get the cars up in the air.

[QUOTE=HSESWS6]Yeh I work at Cat but I am out at the Tech Center in Mossville but I do go to a couple of the plants. If it was a little while ago the plate matched the screen name but....
Yep, that was the car I saw. It caught my eye because I saw it was not stock. I officially work at the tech center too, I just rarely go up there. Spend most of my time in east peoria and morton.

Think my buddy Jim used to work with you there. He has a blue SS. There was a guy there that had a SOM SS too I think?

Sorry couldn't make Culver's. I did however get to the Bloomington Cruise-in. It wasn't to bad. I met up with Mike (Rotweiler-WS6) at the show and got to see his 2000 Turbo'd TA. Pretty nice set up he's got.
I'm still having problems with my set up tho. Mike had his preditor with him so I hooked it up to look at what codes I'm throwing. Came up with a MAP code and a TPS code. I'm starting to think that the Map sensor maybe intermitin or bad and that could be whats making my TCS light come on and go back out. Still unsure tho, and the TPS code, I have the slightest idea where to start with that one. I've swapped it out with the once in my old tb and still have problems. Could the spring on my 90mm Tb not be tight enough and causing the blade not to shut all the way???
On the way home I me up on I74 with a Red 97 Camaro, I saw him earlier at the Bloomington show. He had heads and cam in his car. Well I caught up to him and exchanged rev's with him. He punched it and I followed persuit, Passed him and had about 4 lengths on him by 120mph. We both exited and headed north on Rt39 and I set the cruise at 65. Needless to say he just stayed behind me the rest of the way up to the Hudson exit where he got off. Was my first little run with the new set up. Not to bad, but could have been better If I wasn't still haveing problems with the car.

Oh, I also made it to a small car show in Chillicothe on Sunday, the only thing is the show was limited to years. 50-72 cars. I talked to the President of the club that was putting on the show and got him to open up the classes and allow any car to enter. He felt bad about not allowing more cars in and was going to give me $25 for best of show. I turned it down and told him that I was just glad to show the car and see the cars (a total of 12 showed). This was his second show this year and the turn outs have been about the same both times. I told him that you need to put the word out more and allow more cars in.
He decided to do one more show this year. It's in on Sunday, September 24th. 12-5pm.
I told him that I would put the word out and see if we couldn't get more cars to show. The show is held behind an old school/church just north of Mossville Cat on Richland Ave. The registration was free and they had music, food, and drinks. This would be a great chance to get MILF together locally.

Marc, the 24th is still a go. I've still got my stockers so I'm going to see what happens with I throw them back on. I've also picked up a new MAP sensor. SOB cost $78 from GM. But if it fixes my problems its worth it. I'll keep you posted. I've got next monday off so I'll be working on the car then.

Actually I saw Rob at the P-Town racing event this Sunday, he was running his bike. I took the TA up for a little fun and got too much traction.... I now have a 2-piece aluminum drive shaft.
