Just a little update; I went on a 150 mile PCA tour drive yesterday, so far so good. I noticed the car stayed on 4th and didn't go to 5th until close to 50 mph. This makes the in city driving more pleasureable.

Hey Alex,
The car just had her yearly maintenance done yesterday; Marvin, the mechanic, test drove her a couple of times and said the car is driving like a Tip should be. I'm really enjoying it. Hit 7k a couple of times driving back home.

Todd,
The last time I had done one was like a year ago, and sold my Pbox after. I think RiA has one, but finding a good safe (no HP) road is more difficult here. Maybe I can ask RiA to see if he knows a good spot, after he's back from vacation.

Cool, go to best buy and pick up a little camera mount with a suction cup. Perfect for the point and shoot cams. Its what I use.

I don't think so; the exhaust note sounds pretty much the same.

Todd,
I felt that it is my obligation to let the Tipers outthere to know a good product. CONGRATS on the new addition.

BHT,
I still owe you a vid, but since you are doing this mod; maybe you can shoot one and tell us about it.

Eugene, I still remember the smile I had the first time I punched it when James put the TCU back in Todd said, "How was it?"... I just smiled. I so wish I had this back in the day when I was drag racing my Tip.... If only!
