Sharkster, I left you a voice message Friday night. No need for a quick answer anymore. I'll stop by to see you one of these days. I want to find out more about the chip I have anyway. And maybe get her dynoed.
Hey Elmel... sounds good. I left a little early Friday so I'll check the messages when I get in

Well, the calipers are yellow. How can I tell for sure that the rotors are ceramic?

Thanks man! I'm thinking about it. Probably need to let the sticker shock wear off a bit and do it in a few months.

Nice man, go with the JIC's, they are smooth as glass when done properly and handle flat as a board!

BTW it looks like you have ceramics still on.. Its a matte/dull/rough type finish, its not shiney or smooth like the steel rotors!

I know I could probably do a lot of searching and reading and maybe get the anser to this question, but I'm hoping someone has experience enough to estimate...

My car doesn't have a chip, but the DME has had some work done. Otherwise it's stock. I'm getting up to 1.1 BAR. What's normal? Is there a way to estimate HP based on BAR?

Thanks guys.

Dealer says they couldn't detect anything. Could that still be a reflash?
