    How dependable is a FAST XFI set up? or maybe a BS3?

    Reliable on a Daily Driver I've run an XFI 2.0 on my daily driver since July of last year. So far about 12000 miles in Florida weather. I can't say anything about the track because the car is basically stock and never been but it is holding up well to daily wear and tear. The XFI solved...

    XFI on a stock GN?

    Yep, I sure did. My wife and I are the original owners of our 87 GN. Never did anything to it but drive it (now has 155K). Over the last 5-10 years or so the car has just run like crap. Hesitation, poor mileage, etc... My wife made it clear I better fix it right or get rid of it. Replaced...

    IMPORTANT: ESC Retard!!!

    What Flash do I have? Thanks for this heads up Cal. I just noticed this weekend that when I log ESC retard (2deg -4deg) the timing logged simultaneously does not change. I assumed it was pulling timing but just not displaying the change. Now I'm wondering if that means I need the flash...

    Vac Brakes Intermittent!! Please Help!

    An UPDATE on my brake problem Thanks for all the suggestions. Despite very strong opinions, the diversity of those opinions actually helps when diagnosing intermittent problems. I started by changing out all the vacuum lines except the 2 that run to the heat/ac controller in the car. The...
