What am I looking at? You're saying that you lobotomized the top speed limiter and now you can push toward 200 MPH?

Increased the max speed in the ECU,
technically to 210, but I'll never drive that fast.

Is that "box" sitting on your air filter cover the "tool" that does the upgrade? I know nothing about how to do the end run on the speed limiter, and have always been curious to find out (when the time is right, I always knew I'd get informed).

No, its the ECU.

No, its the ECU.

If you're ever in Mexico and have the right stretch of road you should report back what the car is actually capable of.

In Upstate New York, the first snowflakes bring out the cursed salt trucks and the road turns white with salt until late March. Snow is forecast for this weekend. Yesterday, I washed the Stinger (foam, two buckets and leaf blower dry). Today, put the beast in the garage for winter storage. Preparation: wash (foam, two buckets and leaf blower dry); inflate tires to 42psi to prevent flat spots; stabil in gas tank and fill tank to full; plastic drop cloth placed on concrete garage floor; cteck3300 trickle charger connected to battery; electronic mouse repellers in engine compartment and trunk; Carsorb on inside floors to absorb moisture; steel wool pads in tail pipes; mouse sticky pads around all four tires and finally a breathable cover to keep off any dust.

Winter Storage complete and winter beater gassed and ready to go.

Really going to miss the Stinger’s speed and handling but the snow, slush and salt just eats up cars in this region. At every stop today, people marveled at my micro blue beauty.

I would also put some dryer sheets near any wiring or avenue too wiring.....mice love the vegetable oil used in the extrusion process of our vehicle wiring....bike or car makes no difference to mice.....but they hate dryer sheets more!!!

Yes, I think that a trip to the store to Purchase some Bounce dryer sheets is a good idea.

So, I actually did this on Saturday, but just getting around to posting these. Took my son to a Boy Scout campout, which the site is in the middle of Missouri's wine country. It was rainy, but took a couple of shots...
