Yay, finally finished my Venom 400 install. Man, it was so easy, most difficult parts were deciding on module placement and routing the led through the firewall, the rest was cake. I have to say, not as responsive as I thought (a bit more responsive nonetheless), but I knew it wouldn't be since it just adds more fuel mid to wot (starts a little after VTEC kicks in). It does however accelerate through the gears faster than stock. You will notice a difference very minor, but still nice IMHO. I felt a bit more power with this mod than when I added header and exhaust (which I got rid of a long time ago, since I lost too much low-end torque), plus its cheaper. This will be my last mod, until wireless networks become more widespread (at which point I will add a mini-PC) and until my engine dies, then K20 swap here I come. Hmmm, maybe I will do one more mod... add an IPOD like I saw in Sylstad's post in the Member Rides, very cool. Well happy modding everyone , and if anybody needs help on something I've done similarly on my ride just PM me, I'd be happy to offer any advice.

Replacing the tires this week before Solo2 Auto-X on the 21st....Feckin strut problems I had ruined mine. Michelin is going to replace them for free even though it was thanks to all the weeks spent on broken struts due to backorder...almost $300.00 CDN each for those tires.

I'm basically putting together a list of $hit to do for the winter now while the car is in storage.

KW's
K20A2 (god willing but likely to happen)
New Paint
Rear brake conversion to Si/SiR discs

I can already see the towing bill to get the car to the paint shop and the tuner shop so I'm gonna borrow a friends car trailer and pull it myself with my dad's SUV.

alex has alot on his plate.
