The Grand Rapids Thread

Anyone in town have a proven laptop that they are logging WIDEBAND with. I need to figure out if my wideband has took a ****. Cant get it to link up with Romraider new version or an older version. I can't install my turbo and injectors without a wideband to get a road tune with.

I have power to it all the way down to the connector. So I think the serial cable itself is shot driver or port settings are jacked. I just want to make sure I can log it.

I ran a e85 VF22,800cc injectors,fuel pump pushing 22lbs with 27degrees of timing and it was just as fast as me. It's 02 wagon, making a **** load of torque. It pulled hard as hell from 1-3. Lobg story short I was very imPressed with the tune.

Sounds like my buddy Benito?

[sackytar]

[JohnJohnTurboTron]

I picked up my "11 SWP hatch from Delta Subaru. I waited about 2.5 months for it.

[xlaterdaysx]

Hey guys. I picked up my '11 wrb WRX hatch last week!...
Totally stoked, to start meeting and talking with you guys.

Date?

[xlaterdaysx]

Damn, I always work 2nd shift through the week, maybe a weekend thing?

[JohnJohnTurboTron]

Did you order your 2011 WRB 5-door and which dealership did you pick it up from? I figured I would be the last one in GR to pick up a 2011 WRX.

[xlaterdaysx]

My favorite thing is just climb in, get some tunes going, and just cruise. Aimlessly. Back roads everywhere. Any one know some decent winding roads around here?
I ended up near muskegon today. Wonderful cruise.

[xlaterdaysx]

Yea I ordered. They had a last batch coming in. Delta. They kept trying to find one already here in the states, but everyone had a name on it. But apparently it takes 7 driven miles from factory to mi.

hey guys,
my girlfriend just moved up to gr, so ill be making trips more frequently up there from Lafayette for weekends and stuff.
Just seeing if you meet up often or if you have any events in the area.

i was up last weekend and saw quite a few legacys and outbacks, but i figured as much since you get 89 feet of snow.


hope to see you around the area,

Timmy

Oh Jesus! 89 Feet of Snow

Hey man yeah we meet up every so often. Seems like we have meets more often in the colder months, as people get busy during the warmer months. However what kind of events are you interested in?; i.e Auto X, Track Days, Drag, Show, or just hanging and working on cars.

Welcome! It was great meeting you the other day. Nice choice on color!

[NismoGirl2001]

I know it's a long shot but do any of you have, or know anyone selling any 5x120 wheels? 17x7-8" +42-50 , 16's would probably work as well. I'm looking for something for winter so they don't have to be in the best shape.

It was sweet meeting you too. And thanks.
I hope we can get ppl together soon.
Dave mentioned a group shot, for the spooledup homepage. I'm so down for that.
I'll have to make sure she's clean this time though.

This was the issue. The prolific cables blow! To log wideband you need the cables with the ftdi chipset!!!!!


I bought 3 of them prolific jobbies and none of them work, None!!!



FTDI

I wasted alot of life due to prolific!

We had a few weekend meets in the spring, but a lot of people were busy, so we stopped those for a while.

We live in Muskegon. We had a few install days in the spring. Maybe a few more install days/BBQ meets in the fall. It depends on everyone's schedules.
