That is a NICEPL8

Just finished doing some coding... I did both the speedo error correction and recalibration of the temp gauge for better operation. Will test drive tomorrow morning and see how the temp gauge reacts.

I did notice one thing, the car still had some heat in it from when I came home earlier tonight... When I started, the temp gauge was reading right at the top end of the blue section. As soon as I recoded, it was reading almost in the middle of the blue... So, it definitely changed and read colder than before. That is a good sign I suppose.

Aside from that, loaded her up with some fresh 93 octane... I went out of my way to a station that advertised ethanol free gas... When I pulled in, I found that the only ethanol free fuel was 90 octane, and it was waaaaay more expensive than the 93 octane. Dammit...

Dang.

Someone on Bimmerfest wants to buy the headers I've got. Just got quotes for shipping from UPS and FedEx......man.
I knew international shipping would be expensive, but from the looks of it, the cost of shipping is around 90% of the cost of the item itself.

Looks like it'll be on CL & the forums unless the guy is willing to pay almost 2x as much for them.

I compared my speedo to this speedo app on my phone and up to 40mph it matched. I need to try it when I have a passenger in the car to help. When you finished the temp gauge mod, did you have to reset your time and date in the nav computer?

Hey, are you going to be in SF at some point?

I will try to compare but I don't have any speedo app on my phone. I'll have to find something and download it... Yes, I did have to reset my date and time.

As for SF, not likely... I will be in SoCal though, next time I get on the ship, maybe mid April-ish....?
