Default edcmat-l1 tuning in Germany/Austria

I will be in Germany/Austria from the 6th of July to the 26th. I'm pretty close to booked, but if anyone needs anything, give me a PM or email, and I'll try and fit you in. Germany from the 6th to the 11th, then to Austria from the 12th to the 18th, then back to Germany to finish up the trip.

Any mail order requests during this time, please bear with me. I will have internet access, but will be pretty busy, and with the time difference, please allow 24 hours for return emails and tunes.

Regarding my "Driver's Header is Cold" thread.
I found that the small, separate harness which joins the coils had been reversed. Similar to what you described, the cable ran 7-5-3-1, instead of the correct 1-3-5-7. It runs like a top, now...no more backfire, and explains why it took so darn long for it to heat up!
Now I have to solve the 'why is the oil pressure so low' issue? 18 lbs hot
Thanks alot for your direction, and have a great time in the Rhineland and Austria!
Glenn

Some pictures of cruise night in Karlsruhe Germany. It was very cool. Lots of American iron. Lots of people dressed in 50s style clothes and hair style. Not a real good LS turn out, but I hear that's off and on.







I love this little thing. coulda put it in my pocket LOL



This pickup truck was really cool. Very very nice.



I'm in Salzberg Austria now, and have a bunch of Vettes to tune here. I will post vids of the cars the owners let me. Some of them wish to be anonymous. Anyways, I'm staying at a hotel right by the Austrian Alpen National park, and its absolutely gorgeous. I will post more pics as I get them uploaded.

Went to Nuremberg yesterday. Went to the Zeppelinfeld and stood where Hitler stood during the **** party rallies. Very eery.

Here is right where Hitler stood...........


Here is what it looked like back in the day..........


A little part of history that is very uncomfortable for the people over here to remember.

Looks like the German people like their bratwurst, beer, and American muscle.

I hope it a hell of a lot cooler where you are. Heat index hit 121 degrees in NoVa today. It was "almost" enough to keep me off the golf course this morning.

Have a great trip and ring me when you get back.

Too bad you didnt have a chance to drop in on F1 while there...you timed your trip perfectly to catch the action.

Would have loved to check it out. Nothing like going to an F1 race in the heart of it all. Unfortunately, I'm too busy to do much touring at all. I may have one more day off, and I plan to go see another Schloss (castle) back over in Germany.

This one is right off Autobahn 8 and I HAVE to go see it!!!



Ironically enough though, I'm tuning a car for the "chief" of Carbontech, the company that makes the bodies for teams like McLaren. They're a carbon fiber manufacturing company specializing in the F1 bodies and high end race components.

BTE, photobucket album is open...........http://s125.photobucket.com/albums/p...ustria%202011/
