Bought something over the weekend for it just by chance but it's a surprise until an event or the mod meet. :D
That sounds so sneaky.

Why yes, quite powerful at that!
12v battery, nothing too crazy.  ShiNY had to put in a seperate 220 V circuit for her "toys"

Just for you :yay:  :yay:  :yay:  :slap:

It also came with a very Fruity Name
Mango Tango and it's AWESOME!!!!!  (The color, not the name).

However I think it did get the Monica MUSHROOM stamp of approval.  (with a roll at the end)



ASCII hint for what I bought:

Replaced my battery with a Optima.  Also cleared my cooling system of a air bubble using the Gm 24 step process in the repair manual. [Car was overheating] Picked up a new autometer electric oil sensor because the new one I had was defective[Checked it by installing manual oil gauge to make sure the line and engine actually had pressure] Will install it tomorrow. Next to address DTC code 2261

Graywolf,

 Do you have after  market external BOV? When I switch to the Hahn BOV. I would get that code. When I cleared the code, it took about 20 miles for it to returned. I talk with Hahn & they said, It won't harm anything. That the LFN ECU is sensitive & if I had HPT. I could deactivate that code. So I had Joe do that at MMM5.
 If my memory is right, Joe had to 1st down load my tune to HPT. Them make the change. Then reinstall the tune with that code deactivate. Over 57k & no problem what so ever with my Sol.

Mike

Morfious doesn't get on here often, I had to text him yesterday to tell him we were busting on him so I'll answer for him. Yes he did.

It has all the bells and whistles and looks just like the one I have attached (only in a 2 door model).

It definitely gets the mushroomhead stamp of approval.[attachment=2]

left Pohang for Taegu about an hour after sunrise and rode 2 hours to the registration office on Camp Henry to get my temporary tags.

Walked 10 minutes to the VPC on Camp Henry to pick up the car.  There was a minor rub mark on the front spoiler and they did a shitty job of washing it even though I told them not to.  The left dirt, runs, and swirl marks on it.

Drove 15 minutes to the Service Center on Camp Walker to get it inspected.  No problems and he hardly looked at the car.

Drove 15 minutes back to the registration office on Camp Henry to get my permanent tags.

Drove 15 minutes back to the service center on Camp Walker to have the tags installed (Weird, but there is a trick to it), only for them to say come back in an hour.

Drove 15 minutes back to the VPC on Camp Henry to to pick up my $100 check for the damage. Had to be there before they closed.

Drove 15 minutes back to the service center on Camp Walker to have the permanent tags installed. 

Washed the car because I couldn't take it any more!

Drove 15 back to the registration office on Camp Henry to turn in the temp tags and get the Korean version of a base sticker. 

Had lunch, cashed the check and drove back to Pohang.  Got lost for about an hour (Kim Jung Il says Hi!). 

Just as I got to Pohang, I got a call from the deployed unit's doctor about a guy with a broken jaw so I met them at the local hospital for X-rays.  Had to wait on them for 30 minutes so I wiped the car down really well.

Made it back to base just as it was getting dark.  All in all, a lot of driving and all with the top down.  It was sunny and 56 degrees out!  I got lots of waves, stares and smiles.  Apparently no one owns a shiny (not Karen) car in all of Korea! I'm wiped out...

Preparing to come out of hybernation this Friday and yes, it has been quite a while since I've been on here.  Installed new front splash guards, Backbone and Pro-beam last week.  Got the backordered pigtails in the mail yesterday so i'll be swapping those and uploading the initial tune from WERKS today.

Good to be back, Career change has reduced my Forum foot print and activities.
07 Deep GXP auto.  A lot of cosmetic upgrades but not enough performace mods. YET.

Mike - didn't have time to take pictures - true translation = car was dirty, no way in hell I'm taking pictures.

Glad you got your baby back, guess we won't hear from you for a couple of days while you clean and detail her.   At least you won't be bored.

Installed my body colour charge tubes and valve cover. Gotta get the CAI on there yet but I have the time as it won't be out of storage for a few weeks yet.

Still haven't done the turbo heat shield yet but when I do, I'll post pictures.
Just trying to do my part...
