For the HOUSTON crowd- Performance Driving School

I am sure you all may have already seen this if you are a LSR PCA member..but just in case, and for those that may not be current members. Looks like allot of fun...and only $75, no brainer.
Hope to be able to meet some of you out there.

Todd:

I am literally sitting hear tallying up all the stuff I could do to my car instead of my house.

$4K- paint exterior of house OR New H&R Coilovers w/ install AND a FLASH
$2.8K- New Cedar Garage Door OR add the 18g part to my K24's and part of a new clutch OR decent Exhaust.

I guess 7 grand to the 'house' is always better than 7 grand to the car.
Unfortunately, still working on the house, so wife isnt done mollesting the checking account just yet. But doing like a band-aid and ripping it right off....I committed to no mods to the car until the house was done..
I had no idea it would be this torturous.

I have been continuing research on the flash I want to go with and I am swaying back to EPL again. I read some very strong things on Tony's tune and ratcheting these up to 1.3, 1.4 on pump gas.

Any guys here in town (6 speed, not tip) that are on K24/18g's with a softronic and EPL flashes? I would like a ride to see the differences in these before I make a decision.
I think Ben's protomotive and softronic are one in the same, right?
So mainly if there is anyone with the EPL tune, let me know who you are.
Thanks,

Ken

Ken,
I run an EPL Tune couldn't be any happier. I have 3076's though so it is not really the greatest thing to compare a 18G car to. I can tell you this though, you will not regret an EPL tune. Not saying anything bad about the others, because they are all good tuners. I just prefer Tony over everyone.

I think when I end up changing plugs I will be changing turbos (hopefully) so I can take you for a ride, but it will be a real different ride than a standard K24/18G car (hopefully LOL!).

Thanks Powell:

If you could, please PM me when a ride is available. Or if you let the board know when you do this, I will PM you. Look forward to it!

Ken,
If all goes as planned it'll be about a month one I get everything ordered, because we do all our own work in our garage. If it gets together any sooner I will for sure let you know. Right now the driveability is no good because of the fact I fouled out some plugs with C16 so I get a blinking CEL for misfires every few minutes cruising on the freeway. I still feels decent WOT (I don't get on it while its blinking, as it only happens when cruising), but it won't show you the excellent driveability that I always bragged about.

The only other EPL car I know of in Houston is Edwin (PrecisionPorsche or M32), but he has the K16/16G turbos but he can tell you about how well it drives and runs. Hopefully someone (*hint* you *hint*) gets a EPL K24/18 here in Houston so we can say we have a K24/18G setup from every tuner that does them LOL!
