I bought my Braile thru Tirerack and it came with a tiedown. Not sure if I'll be able to use it or not, but they do make different styles for them

Good to know, but I meant terminal clamps. Will the stock cable ends work as is?

Oh, I would think so... I haven't taken the battery out of the SOL, so not sure how much slack there is for change in position...

If you mean out in the trunk, you'll need plenty, which means an added section of + and just buy a ground lead for the trunk.

No no... I just meant that the smaller battery is, naturally, going to have its terminals in s slightly different spot, and that may also change depending on if you lay it on it's side. I would assume if you move it to the trunk you'd have to run whole new cables.

You might need more than just street slicks if that's the case!

I actually drove it today, it was so nice out.  Haven't driven it since Ohio, was saving that last 3/8's of a tank or real gas for something special.

I just installed my new tuned TCM (transmission control module).  Westers tuned it for me and I now have a "performance mode" when putting the car in "L" setting.  The car shifts really firmly and quickly, and it only shifts higher up in power band...it seems to shift at the point where the car drops back into the best power area in the RPM band each time.  Very nice work on Lyndon's part.  I am going to experiment more it today...all I know is it was a really fun drive on the open highway last night:)

just put my spare rims and tires on so Jimmy and I will have the same tire compound for the race today.  I wouldn't want him claiming I had an unfair advantage with my all season contis that have a tire rating of 540 :lol:

Yes. But the SCCA rules don't say it CAN removed it, therefore I can not.

After more than one conversation about the color of my '09 coupe & giving the code off the tag in the glove box, I was certain it would be right. Like I said before, whoever got the first diffuser I was supposed to get, I hope the color matches their car better than their diffuser matches mine, I was told they were the same color.

I'm sorry, but after 3 months & 3 promises of shipment that never happened & now this I'm not getting the warm fuzzy everyone else has gotten or talks about.  :(  I had high hopes from all the positive customer feedback & wanted to order more bodywork in the near future.

Although it does you no good now, it looks like the primer may have been too light. For what it's worth  :2c: I kinda like the slight contrast.
